I ride 32:18 on my 29er and don’t ever stop on <= 50 mile rides over that just a 5 min break for a snack bar, thunder up hills cruise at 16 mph on the flat at high cadence and average 14-15mph avg on flat rides (14.4 on my last 100 mile ride 6h56min) and do 12.5 average on hilly rides and never get out of breath even after 2-3 miles of uphill slogging standing up at 9 mph
how manly am I
Maybe time for 32:16
Sorry thought this was a bragging thread In all seriousness my legs have come along fantastically over the last 2 months and all I did was ride mega miles for the STW monthly mileage challenges (525 miles last month and hopefully 700 miles this month), hardly any days off, just rode flatter rides on days my legs were tired then hilly ones on the rest of the days.
Just ride hard, have fun and it will all come naturally
What you just said isn’t having fun my friend. Its the equivalent of watching a game of bowls imho.
Sounds very much like you ride to the brink of death. Personally i cant be arsed being a cycle statistician. I’ll stick with me calculus and black coffee instead.
What I was really getting at was how on earth to some cyclist have legs like bodybuilders when its clear they dont consume food like them. It defies the whole bodybuilding industry consensus regarding protein and muscle building.
