Struggle on Hills on Road Bike

[warder]

Not quite ... How about a genetically gifted 60 year old in peak condition vs a genetically unlucky 20 year old in their peak condition! (Hint: The 60 year old would probably win a race between them.)

I am 40 odd , my 20 year old self would beat me over a mile but I would beat him over a 100 miles , am I fitter or less fit now ?

 

[warder]

I'm 53 never done a TT. And I hate pedants

 

[jefmcg]

am I fitter or less fit now ?

Yes

But a 50 or 60 year old in peak physical condition won't be able to compete with a 20 or 30 year old in peak physical condition. There I knew I was right.

I don't think anyone said any different, so congrats on winning an argument with yourself there..

Also I was just wondering how old you are and what star sign are you.

Ask S-Express. He's quite the expert, don't you know.

Some of the strongest lifters are well into their Forties.

But the important question is, how fast can they cycle?

Whilst lifting.

But which one is the fitter? Youngest or oldest?

 

[warder]

What about necklaces?

Necklaces yes. Nothing too flashy mind. Definitely not a pearl one.

But which one is the fitter? Youngest or oldest?

The guy at the back in the jump suit is the fitter. Gas, I think. About 28yo.

Nah, guy on the top, about 40 yo, looks wirey.
