Oldest rider today

[LynnCamp]

The Facebook page for our recently formed trail preservation group - Central Colorado Mountain Riders - is asking for the name of the oldest dirt riders still riding.  I remember your group had many vintage riders.  Can you help me remember one or two of their names? THANKS!

How about Paul Rodden who is in his 80's. Paul was the chairman and trail master for the 1994 ISDE at the John Zink Ranch in Tulsa, OK. Check out this video of him done back in 2012. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K_T41kJm-PE
