Well Greg66 said my legs were skinny the other day, but MM said I have a "good cycle muscle structure"* I suspect G66 is nearer the mark.
*BTW, MM, we've only met once, several months ago IIRC - I didn't realise you were taking such notice.

Think I was talking about dhope... you're even skinnier than he is

Nope, it was definitely me, but yeah, :oops:

Oh yeah, well you're tiny and slim, unlike say CP who isn't

How come my puny legs don't just snap? Some of you have legs bigger than my waist.

Well, when you are over 14 stone the power to get you up hills has to come from somewhere.
If I shed enough weight my power to weight ratio will be awesome!

In fact, back in the day, it must have been. 24 years old triathlon training, 27 inch thighs, 28 inch waist and 10 1/2 stone. I only measured my thighs back then out of curiosity as to why I couldn't get jeans to fit.
Levi 501s were impossible to get over my thighs at the time :shock:

Nah. The swimming meant I had a more impressive upper body. No digital pics from back in the day obviously.
The bike is close to what I have now though

Unfortunately the legs are more like this:- :oops:



Decent definition though for someone nearly 50 :P
