I am the best 200lb+ Climber in the Country

[subaqua]

Last time I was 14 stone I was 14 .

What would weight be if you hadn't used just eat ?

only if you are on a nimbus 2000

I love it when people make claims about their ability that they are completely unable to substantiate..it's what the internet was designed for...

Reminds me of a Goodies sketch from a very long time age.
Something along the lines of:

"I could've been a professional cyclist, you know. If only I'd had the stamina, the puff...and the bike, for that matter."

The best 200lbs climber in the country, eh?

Maybe I should put on 25lbs or so, just to knock you off the perch.

Or I could just go back to my pre-Christmas fighting weight and allow you to wave my arse goodbye up any Hill you care to mention. And I'm more of a "puncheur" than a grimp.

"Best 200lbs climber in the country"... Sounds a bit like "highest p1sser up the wall called Nigel in the 35-45 age bracket after six shandies" to me. But a bit less illustrious.

I put in a time of 17Mins 5 secs on the E2/10 out and back course in Cambridgeshire.




















And so what if it was on my moped

I'm 210 but in the process of losing a stone. I'll maintain my power and with an extra 14lbs shreded, Jesus it doesn't bare thinking about.

If you live in London or Hertfordshire you're welcome to challenge me at any hill, I'll end you.

Whay-hey!!!

Thing is, it'll never happen, and you know it. Anyone weighing 160-165 will drop anyone weighing 200-210 up anything > 10%, assuming bikes are of similar weight and gearing. It's the laws of physics and biology.

Unless, of course, Mr. 200lbs is assisting himself chemically.

I just think my power numbers are so far beyond what those 160lb guys can produce my watt/kg will still be superior.

Have you ever entered a hill climb with published results?

Not sure it counts if he was using stabilisers

Ok, do us a favour, then.

There's a Strava segment up Sundridge Hill, from Pilgrim's Lane toward Knockholt, on the North Downs in Kent. Pop down there, go up that, and post your numbers.

Then we'll have a look, shall we?

You can laugh but he could save an ounce or two if he lopped his off. The accrul of marginal gains.

yeah my commute got quicker after i cleaned the 2 ounces of filth off the bike at Christmas

Yes everyday on Strava.

Now consider the further gain if you had a shave.

And a sh1te... Jesus, it doesn't bear thinking about.
