I am the best 200lb+ Climber in the Country

[Dec66]

Just so. Would that be the West Wickham near Cambridge or South London?

The latter, nestling as it does in the miles of dull suburbia twixt Bromley and Croydon, death's waiting room, and a portal to the North Downs of Kent (and all those lovely, lovely hills).

So, where were we?

Oh yes. Blazed didn't respond to anyone's request for links and hasn't explained his views on peak vs average power.

You asked for British cycling ranking etc, I don't have that. Why would I need it? Rather can competing against a small group at amateur races, I compete against 1000's, sometimes 10,000's on Strava segments. Like I said, I am organising an event in spring, not that I need to but all will be proven then.

Once again - top trolling.

So you've never pinned a number on - and you rate your ability on Strava segments, where nobody knows how fast anyone else is going, or how hard anyone else is trying anyway? You think that's better than actually racing in an actual race - where the actual objective is to actually beat people - in actual, real time? That's given me my first actual laugh of the day

Won't be the last, either.

When you're the best 200lb+ climber the minor details don't matter eh

What makes a good rider is his training not where he competes. My training is top notch as is my dedication to increasing performance. Whilst I don't compete in amateur that doesn't mean I wouldn't win them if I did. You would say Usain Bolt is the fastest person in the world, but for all we know there is someone living away from modern civilization who can run a lot faster. Just because he is not at the Olympics does not change that.

And for the record I'm actually going to start TT'ing in the Spring, does that count?

I would love to do this, but why should I risk getting in my car and driving 250 miles to Hertfordshire to an event that I know you will not show up for?

I'm the best 200lb climber on the segment in my back garden

...I'm really good at the tricky bit round the shed!

A good rider is only a good rider when he is proven to be a good rider. Ergo - you are not a good rider.

And foor the record I'm actually going to start TT'ing in the Spring, does that count?

Only if you actually do it - and we can see the results.

All that effort that Froome, Nibali, Quintana, Wiggins and the like put in to win those tours... When all they had to do was blat around a few Strava segments to show how good they were.

They'll be feeling kinda miffed if they read this.

Presumably you must be around 6ft 7in or taller. Because if you ain't - at 200lbs - it means you are sh1t at training as well.

It will actually be Buckinghamshire, not decided on the hill yet but probably kop hill in Prince's risborough. You'll see nearer the time that it is a serious thing.

And you'll be on a Yamaha, yes?

Wouldn't be the first time someone thought my bicycle was motored.
