Enjoy climbing but seem to be best at flattish stuff with corners, according to strava anyway.
Climbing. I love it. You feel the pain creeping up on you. You look up and see the road steepens and the pain is there, all over your thighs. Caressing and stabbing them. Reminding you of those winter rides you missed because it was too cold or too wet or too windy. Reminding you that you're weak. But that spurs you on. You dig deeper, gulp the air, push the pedals harder and you accelerate. The road slackens and you gather your breath.
are you the Troy Queef of the cycling world?

SL's on the MTB or SPD's on road bike?
To peak or not to peak?
Oh.
Love both on both 🙂
mtb - the more technical the better, up and down gives you something to think about!
road - love the challenge of climbing and trying to stay with fast groups (i often get dropped uphill, sprinters build 🙂 ). Then thrashing the rest of the group down the dh's. Not many people have confidence on a road bike, i do, and love attacking a dh at full gas with big ring spinning and tucking all over the place. 8th place down col du vence on strava this summer was damn good fun. The more technical hairpins etc the better, and ideally steep enough that i don't need to pedal much 🙂
