you should pry get a new bike...

is that yours?

 

[puddlemonkey]

My first time doing it, too. My usual arrogance about how I'm athletic and I can do anything was in full force. I got humbled.

being the weaker sex should be humbling enough

Post this on CL, see if anybody responds.


Nef--you should try road biking

I've road biked enough. That's why I thought I could do mountain biking no sweat. Whoops.

Puds, pound for pound I whoops most guys in a lot of athletic stuff, so I'm not really feeling the woman thing holding me down.

PHYSIOLOGY OF ACTIVITY
VO2 Max.....
"VO2 max is influenced by several factors

• Gender: lower in women "

"Males remain stronger than females, when adjusting for differences in total body weight. This is due to the higher male muscle-mass to body-weight ratio."

There is probably a testosterone dependent stimulatory effect on muscle contraction as well.

You should try it on an actual mountain at altitude. Even a gradual climb on somewhat easy terrain kills you. I thought it'd be pretty easy to take the tram up at Snowbird and just haul ass down. Newp. Tearing down an entire mountain with your body tense holding on for dear life works you as bad or worse than going up. It's just different muscles.

On average, sure. I'm not your average female. I'm not talking strength anyway. Overall athleticism. Strength, coordination, endurance, etc. I've never met an individual sport I couldn't pwn very quickly.

Nev, I bet it was hell. Altitude changes everything.
