Much respect
Lacking the requisite endurance/slow twitch muscle fibers to cycle more than 25 miles before dropping from quad exhaustion I have gotta give you distance dudes much respect. I saw a cyclist today sweatin' his a@# off knowing he'd been pumping for at 30 miles+ and could only stare w/ envy. I can go w/ (0) warm-up whatsoever from 0 - wide open in less than 5 secs but can only sustain the pace for about 10mins. I'm a classic spinter which has taken me over 30yrs to realize. I think this is much ignored aspect of cycling.
