I consider everyone older than I am "old".

How about we have four categories.

Old. Young.
Slow. Fast.

;)

Happy New Years folks.

PS. Sal- what the heck does a Director of Photography do?

In rowing, masters starts at 27. Let's go with that.

Hmmm...

NCNCA=35+
SCNCA=35+
WSBA=35+
BRAC=35+
SWICA=35+
UCA=35+
ABRA=30+

Looks like most racing associations opt for a 35+/45+/55+ breakdown and some
offer an A/B option for Masters. What are we missing here?

the 35-39 group is also the one with families, with all the attendant
choices: do i go race my bike or go to my kid's soccer game? it would be
interesting to see how many races per year the "typical" 35+ master
attends.

Since the largest group is age 35 to 39, wouldn't you want to give that group the most options at a race? Wouldn't that encourage participation?
