How old are you?

Bearbonesnorm · Post by **Bearbonesnorm** » Sat Jul 23, 2011 8:31 pm

I've heard it said a few times that bikepacking/bivvying is a something you do as part of a mid-life crisis. For me it's something I've always done, I see it as a pretty normal part of riding.

So, how old is everyone? ... perhaps there might be some truth in the theory

Me ... a rather young looking 40

how very dare you!!

I'm 37 and yes a mid-life crisis is bikepacking but I see it more as an extension of my mountain biking that I've been doing for years :)

Erm ... I'm thinking there's nothing in this mid-life crisis thing. The average age at the moment is 39.3, doesn't really scream mid-life to me

vaguely exciting 2.3 years to go until I am average

30 but you would never guess, for me its not a mid life crisis its resuming my love for the out doors and enjoying life after a few year off well about 15 years off lol

I admit to being 56 and on the heavy side. I am a longstanding mountain biker looking to get involved in bivvying, but my usual riding friends are not much impressed. I live between Bolton and Blackburn, and have some time off work coming up in september, including the last week. i am open to suggestions.

FOM you haven't got the 10th/11th of Sep free have you? If you fancy a run down to the green hills of Wales there'll be a 2 day, 80 odd mile trip starting from Rhayader ... can't guarantee good weather but I can guarantee good company

I shall need to check the BWFC fixture list, as I am a sad season ticket holder, but I am interested if available. I shall get the diary from work and look at availabilty.

I'm 36, have always ridden bikes and just see bikepacking/bivvying as a way to ride very long distances even quicker. When I start wanting to lay on the beach and not ride my bike then I know the crisis has started!
