I am the best 200lb+ Climber in the Country

[ianrauk]

This reminds me, I haven't seen @JasonHolder for a while.

Probably stuck under a mountain of banana's.

200lbs? That's featherweight.

I reckon I'm the fastest 250lb+ climber on Strava who can also deadlift 600lbs. Hell, im a celeb!

Many Strava KOM's are descents

It makes me laugh as the banding of the weight categories is quite tight and as follows;

124 lbs and under
125 to 149 lbs
150 to 164 lbs
165 to 179 lbs
180 to 199 lbs
200 lbs and over

200 lbs is not that heavy but if you are over it then Strava doesn't want to know you. I'm about 230 and that spans what would be two weight bands. I nominate Drago as he is mingling with those who could be three weight bands lower.

It is weight'ist I tell you!

Never mind, all of us heavyweights are all winners by simply being out there and cycling.

Besides the elite cyclist skelator look isn't for everyone.

I'm big boned I tell thee, big boned........ and have a slow metabolism.......... oh and am a bit fond of pies

And don't forget that the strava weight category that you occupy includes your bike weight too. eg I weigh 192 lbs but I am in the 200+ lbs category

 

[Colin_P]

Didn't know that.

I'm 260 to 280 then depending on what bike I'm riding.

They should extend the categories for us big'uns.

You have got to assume that as he is talking about Strava he meant the best in the country on Strava, or was your tongue firmly in your cheek when you made the post

No I meant the best in the country full stop.

I am usually between 210lbs and 220lbs which obviously is not ideal for climbing. It's something I've specifically worked hard at and made good improvements. Whilst I have been able to take a number of KOM's from the cycling stickmen, what I found most interesting is when I sort via 200lb+ riders only on Strava there is never anybody anywhere near as fast as me. You are looking at the greatest 200lb+ climber in the country.

Eat even more pies and you could get to be the best in Europe.

I assume I am the best 200lb+ climber in Europe but I didn't want to say that and look like I was bragging.

 

[Bobby Mhor]

I'm 260+ or 290 with my bike..
I will proudly announce to the forum and the world

I'm as slow as sh1t

What on earth is a country full stop is it more than a country mile and less than a country bumpkin ?

Would that last part be coming or going though!

Got one of them: downhill, in a pedestrianized shopping area in town, rode it at 1am ... many months later I'm still QOM

I started school in the 1970s.

Can someone explain to me what a 'lb' is?

I am also in the top category once on my bike, if I have the origami metal lock-thing in it's holder - and only 163lb of it is me. The people in the lightest category must be tiny, and have nice bikes.
