Just curious as to what the roadies here prefer to do and what they're naturally suited to do.
My build would allow me to go either way I think, or be an in between. I'm 6', 165 ish. I think my lung capacity holds me back a little bit on the climbs, I have an indendented sternum which I theorize may play a role.
My lactate threshold is pretty miserable at this time of the year. Skiing can only put it at so high a level and their it stays all winter.
I actually don't mind either climbing or flats. There is a lot of moderate climbing around here, all hills, the closest "real climb" is Wachusett, which is about 1000 feet basically all at once with a real nasty 18% grade at one point.
There's a lot to talk about when it comes to technique doing either, let's save that discussion for separate threads... for now- what do you prefer and what are you good at?
