Guest Guest Posts: n/a	You know you're fit when.... Your cycling buddies keep asking if you are in a rush You can do a long steady distance ride without changing out of your big chain ring You swear that the hills aren't as steep as they once were You need to find a hill to get your heart rate into double figures Any more...?

Your cycling buddies come up with all types of excuses not to go training with you You nearly end up in divorce for sabotaging your wifes bike so she can only use the big chain ring and smallest sprocket in order for her to cycle faster on the flats You climb to the top of a hill, rush back down and try and climb to the top again before your training buddies finish the climb. [try it, it really p*sses people off!] __________________ Pain is inevitable...suffering is optional

uhmmm...... welll...... I kinda get points one and three quite often. oops.

Point 2, well I bought the g/f a bike and got her cycling, so that one step closer to point 2.

you know you're fit when

all your buddies use your slip stream when riding into the wind
you climb a hill and your heart rate doesnt climb higher than 80% max
you feel uneasy if there is no pain coming from at leaswt one of your leg muscles

Guest Guest Posts: n/a	Re: You know you're fit when.... When your average heart rate is about 100bpm after what your friends would call a hard group ride  ;D You go out and do a lazy 100 after this 'hard' ride you think everyone in your club is soft cheers

Guest Guest Posts: n/a	Re: You know you're fit when.... "Or more than a third world country hehe " Hey! I'm from a third world country! Here's my take: You know you're fit when...you notice your gorgeuos leg mucles everytime you squat to take a dump!
