So you're very light, you ride a weight-weeny bike, but you're still slow? Why so? ah, yes, I nearly forgot - you're old. :oops:

It's the sad truth - the weight I can manage, the age is somewhat harder to reduce :D

Harsh on yourself there...

It isn't how old you are, it how old you feel :D


How old you feel, or how old the woman your with makes you feel. :D

Chloe you may well have boobs, but don't forget Moobs!

My simple but to the to point question on Fat/Muscle is........

If muscle weighs more that fat, does training develope more muscle which in turn makes you weigh more thus slowing you down on the hills?

Like a hunchback on a tightrope - this is all a question of balance.

More muscle mass, as you'd develop for example when doing maximum strength work in the gym, would indeed make you heavier. However more 'trained' lean muscle mass, particularly when specifically trained for cycling, brings all sorts of performance improvements which you would hope would lead to improved hill climbing and would outweigh (arf!) any marginal weight gain. Also more muscle mass doesn't mean more weight per-se. Ideally you'd loose weight in other areas (fat) to compensate for increased muscle, thus redressing the balance.

Careful here though because you cannot increase your lean muscle mass without sufficient nutritional intake to allow it. Which is partly why you here of riders using high protein drinks rather than food when trying to lose weight without losing lean muscle mass.

None of which seemed to be bothering you last night when I saw you streaking through West Wickham looking every inch the lean, mean, racing-machine you've lately become MM :D

It's the streaking through West Wickham that's more alarming. Kennedy's has shut now.
