I'm out of this on at least two counts, one being that I'm out of the upper age range of 40.

But what's with the curious lower age - 23?

And I'd love to know what is on those "inspiration cards".

Relationship defining stuff such as 'Plastic or Steel' and 'Wiggo or Froome'

What a load of poo.

Why not just have a 'sexy straight/gay** cyclist available, apply within' message attached to your cycling helmet/cap**?

** delete as applicable

There was me thinking it was yet another variation on Strava racing.

@Blue Hills looks like you don't need to go to that dating event as it looks like your luck is in with a smooth talking @ianrauk

Ha.... I have known Mr Blue Hills for a very long time... I like him... not a lot.. but I like him

I think it looks like a fun idea but......

A. I'm over 40

B. I'm happily married to Mrs V (Mrs V says we are happily married so we must be......)

C. I live nowhere near London....

So that's me out on 3 counts

Looks like your luck may change in the future as the website says they will run other events focused of different ages soon.

"We focus on straight cyclists between 23 and 40 years old during our first events, events with a different focus are coming soon! "

to several posts on here.

question. in addition to an alert that a: there's been a reply to a watched thread b: an alert to say that I've been quoted i got an alert to say that I have been "tagged" by
Mr Haematocrit

I have no idea what this means - never seen it before - should I be worried?

Maybe to dismiss speculation I should add that the 2nd disqualifier is that I have a partner.

Am still intrigued by the 23. What dating qualities do you assume on hitting this magic number?

Yes you should be worried, I have injunctions preventing me from tagging people, I'm a serial tagger

I may be wrong, but......

I think it is to do with being under age.

It is easy for a 16 or 17 year old to impersonat an 18 or 19 year old. It is however more diffiult to impersonate a 23 year old.

This was the rason thatthe "Challenge 21" was introduced in pubs where you are asked to provide ID if you are, or appear to be under 21.

This restrictionmeans that the organiser has taken reasonable steps to ensure participants are over the age of consent

As for the upper limit...... is that because over 40 bearded recumbent riders wearing sandals are considered perverts if they try and date 23 yeard old girls on fixies or road bikes??

(Please do NOT answer that)

'Tagging' is a very handy way of bringing posts to the attention of particular forum members who otherwise might miss them. It is done by placing the '@' symbol before a member's forum name. For example - hey, @Blue Hills - read this amazing post!

I think they just want people to all be within a datable range of each other, so they've picked a range.

(and it doesn't look like they are checking ages ... maybe you could pass, @Blue Hills <-another tag)
