wisecrack Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 I don't know I have always been a good climber... 1.89m @ 70kg's and 6.8kg bike thats all you need
scotty Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Neither a climber or racer More a plodder. The experts tell you if you are not a strong climber to work your way to the front before the climb starts then if you do drift off the front you are at least middle of the bunch at the top of the climb. The experts have obviously not ridden in the bunches i have, as everyone has the same idea and all start to sprint to to get to the front before the climb

TitusTi Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 CharlIV, it's all getting technical now, cycling is esentially a simple sport, you're not a good climber, go out and do more climbs. Wil6: You're not strong on the flats, go find some flat roads and crank it along them for at least an hour as hard as you can, do it alot, you'll get better at it. All pretty simple really.

vanniri Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Someone mentioned hill repeats in training, yes really good advice, but be careful not to do it too often. Yes, especially on SS

rudi-h Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 All downhills should be hammered at 100% yelling "WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!" +1
wisecrack Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Agree, I´m 193cm and 84kg and able to see veins on my shoulders! Well at my last fitness test I weighed 74kg's. This gave me a BMI of about 20 and that's fine if you are an athlete. And I quote: If your BMI is below 20:This indicates a lean BMI, which means you have a low amount of body fat. If you are an athlete, this can be desirable. If you are not an athlete, a lean BMI can indicate that your weight may be too low which may lower your immunity. If your BMI and body weight are low, you should consider gaining weight through good diet and exercise habits, to increase your muscle mass. If your BMI is between 20 and 22:This indicates the ideal, healthy amount of body fat, which is associated with living longest, and the lowest incidence of serious illness. Coincidentally, it seems this ratio is what many individuals perceive to be the most aesthetically attractive. See and I'm attractive according to above Edited January 12, 2011 by wisecrack
