The roadmeet in Saint Louis on Saturday has several attendees who are over 6'2".  From some of the pictures I've seen in the past, many road enthusiasts are short or average.  I've only met one road enthusiast who was taller than me.  What is it about being short and roads?  What other roadmeets were attended by tall guys?

Springfield '10 was attended by some really tall guy, as was mini-binghamton '05(?).
I hate Clearview, because it looks like a cheap Chinese ripoff.

I'm for the Red Sox and whoever's playing against the Yankees.

I was at the Cincinnati road meet last October for part of the time (an emergency transportation issue took me away from it).  I'm 6'4".
I don't need a GPS.  I AM the GPS! (for family and friends)

I know there were some roadmeets maybe 10 years ago that were dominated by short guys. If I had gone to those meets, I would have been able to loom over them.
Might as well face it, pooing is cool

I know Cody and myself will probably be the shortest guys there, I am 5-7

Every meet with Doug at it is tall. I'm above average height too, but not as tall as you.

So are we looking at median, maximum, or mean height among attendees? Do we include children and spouses of roadgeeks if they attend?

I'm somewhere between 5'11" and 6'0". The average for men in their 20s in the US is 5'10", for all adult men in the US it's 5'9½". (Wiki's citation)
If you always take the same road, you will never see anything new.

Fucking Doug is about 1/4 inch taller than me, but I think it's because he has hair.

It's cause he hadn't pooed yet.

Only if they're from Australia.
