An example on todays club run was perfect.
One of the guys on the run is well built and on the flat he could probably drop me but on the hills i can big ring hills he needs to granny ring up .
Horses for courses.
Weighed myself and i was 10 stone 9llbs, it was after a weekend of eating to much and after a full sunday dinner

At 5'9" I'm now 10st 7lb and I've been that weight, give or take a couple of lbs, for the past year.
Does it help with hills? Absolutely, although I'm not planning to drop further.

That's practice and positioning. It's also partly in the mind - I have the same issue once the bike goes over 50mph.
You've got the hills around you. Can I suggest finding a straight descent without potholes (are there any?) and keep trying.

Just short of 6' by a natts head. I usually put on weight through winter and loose what I want through summer. Winter weight usually 13st 10lb and go down to about 13st 6lb by mid year. I am heavy boned and sink in water like a brick not like my wife who floates in the sea.....Im happy with my weight/s as I don't race the bike I have no issues. I can climb hills in my time and enjoy it plus I can sprint not bad for a 53yr old who enjoys good food and drink! I do creak and ache though.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
Big Mig rode 100 miles a day, six days a week, at race pace or near offer. Fine if you've got the aptitude and someone paying you to do it - not so fine if you're human.

For some reason when I look at these pictures, I'm not convinced its the scrawny guy who has problems with the ladies

Wonder if I would get away with saying something similar about men and fat chicks.
No?
Thought not.
