In a word, the average age of our active riding membership is old, almost all retired. Active riders only make up about 5% of the total membership in our area. I think most join for the insurance and because they broadly support the aims of Cycling UK.
We do get new riders, but almost all are older.

Re: How successful is your local CTC/CUK group?
Bit late to the party, but in case it’s helpful:
Sussex area
Our group is growing fairly well in terms of active riders , but almost all are retired. We have never had an unaccompanied under 18 (we avoid unaccompanied under 16 anyway due to lack of child protection facilities).
Roughly 1/3 female and 2/3 male amongst our active riders which can depend significantly on the length of/ type of ride (our easy 20 miler is far more popular with female riders than our all-day 60 miler).
We run 3 rides a week: Sunday long, Tuesday mid length and Thursday easy. Our Tuesday ride is by far the most popular but is generally more heavily weighted with male riders.
