scotty Posted January 12, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitusTi Posted January 12, 2011 Share 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.

wisecrack Posted January 12, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
