I wonder who is the oldest on here. I once did an STW ride in the lakes and there was a guy from Darlington called Dave or DJ I think. I would suggest he was in his late 60s so can anyone beat that?

No I'm not that old, though a lot of the guys I train and race with are younger than my own kids.

All came from being the oldest in the group when someone bought one of those 'oldgit' numberplate style stickers for my birthday.

merely 48 here.
How old's stratobiker? He comes across as a well matured pervert.

Hora, you lying toad. I'm sure you're not that old. 😆

Of course, now I get it, the abundance of oldies here would explain all the whinging and moaning that goes on! All of this (the STW forum in its entirety) can be explained by the male menopause!

Lighten up you old gits! 😀

Psling isn't old, he's from the forest of dean, he's only 6 but inbreeding has made him old beyond his years

TJ is like Highlander - he is older than all of us put together but the clock stopped at 135 years for his Earth Years!

Hora can't be close to 50. Nobody with Hora's take on the world could have survived that long.

I didn't realise the entire crew of the Ark Royal were on Stw.

I notice the stw girlies are staying quiet!

Over 50 here and it means I can behave very badly - folk can refer to my eccentricity 🙄

Ok I now realise he is not over 60 (Sorry Dave/DJ). It must have been those jam jar glasses that made you look older. For what its worth I am 64 but only rode with you once and you did pass me a lot

Hope I am still playing on a bike in my late 60's! - 53 last month and lowey took this picture on my birthday ride -- like Simon says 'well worn'

Can't believe people thought Dave was in his late 60s im mortified 😡 still on the bright side if you thought he was that old you must have thought his riding was super strong!

When i grow up i want to ride just like Dave 8)

My one regret this week is that I didnt look at this thread earlier and was able to be the one to forward it to DJ!!

I'm 40. Deejay provides me with inspiration when I feel old. He's probably the smoothest rider I have ever had the privilege to ride with and still 13 years older!

Explains why I always found it hard keeping up with njee20 in the NPS, he's 16 years my junior!

I'm the grey one on the left (youthful 39).

I am on the cusp at 34. My youthful vigour is beginning to run out, so I need to work harder and harder just to stay still from now onwards.. at least in terms of general fitness and strength. My biking can still improve 🙂
