ewep Posted October 16, 2007 Share Talking about the past. Last year a few Hubbers went on a ride during August. The ride included Sugarbush Ridge. Names that spring to mind are ianj, sonic, epoh, cervelo, et al. At that stage I weighed 106kg, after loosing 4 since the June 16 public holiday. I dropped from a size 40 pants to between a 34 and 36 (depends where I buy.) Did it help for climbing. NO. I still suffer on climbs, but my Sugarbush short loop time has dropped from 3:15 to 2:10. Now that's nice to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted October 16, 2007 Share Ewep - Simple, it never gets easier you just go faster (Greg Lemond?)!!!!!!

IanJ Posted October 16, 2007 Share Did it help for climbing. NO. I still suffer on climbs You are putting in the same effort and climbing much quicker, have you checked your average speeds up the climbs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewep Posted October 16, 2007 Share Bruce, that is so true! Ian, yes, and it's scary and nice to see what the change was between the 2 dates. And I could keep up to you and Sonic on a flatish hill, till he became all simpel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seeing that improvement in your time is real motivation to loose that last bit of flabby muscle around the waist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cervelo, being the concerned friend that he is "goodness , what happened, you're a bit unfit?". 'cause ewep was not looking in great condition. And what does cervelo get for being the concerned friend ? 1) a Challenge in/up SBR, "ek gaan hom breek" , jou bl**^*&.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
