You just need to add some techno-pop with the breathing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ps6wRHFdKdA

That's the first song people think of when the subject of breathing in cycling videos comes up.

BTW, not enough climbing in that vid!

If you're talking about the Midland XTC-100, I never heard of it either until I visited REI the other day and saw it on clearance for $63.93. After reading the reviews, I jumped on it! Same for the GoPro HD Hero 960, which I got for $149.95 at the same time. I bought the last ones they had.

A wider seat seems to inspire heavier pedaling.

You might be on to something here, Tantric Climbing anyone?

Climbing hills are big fun and full of the thrills too.

However, even at 71, being with my wife is adventure into the stratosphere, trying to make it to the stars, each and every time..




As I said before, hills are fine, great rush.. But, with my wife, my cup runneth over!!

Puzzling, no one's mentioned having to resort to switchbacks when a given climb gets towards the apex? No shame in that.

I find it a bit disturbing that almost all this hill climbing seems to have been done solo.

Riding a bike is like having sex. You get all hot and sweaty and out of breath. And if you get to going too fast you might fall off.

I may have said this before but... damn.

Were the laws against marrying minors different when you were young as there was some robbery going on there methinks.

And how often do you find yourself chasing the beautiful Mrs Howard... just because ?

Well I've done the biggest and longest climbs around here, centuries with 10,000-12,000 feet of climbing, been with my wife for 25 years and I must say, anyone that says climbing is just as good as sex is climbing the wrong woman.



Gina's (only 49 y/o) done this 5000 ft mtn climb but didn't ask to do it again so I'm sure I know what her opinion would be.

First off, this was a way out topic!!

It just so happens, she be chasing me!!!

No, the laws against marrying minors were the same..I was always legal.It just so happens, my mind has always been 20+ years younger, so I always was attracted to the younger women, and younger women were/are attracted to me, for whatever reason.

I will say, at 71, I am pretty lucky..

It sure could, especially since those who don't like raw footage climbing videos refer to the heavy breathing as "porn breathing" or "porno breathing". That just adds more fuel to the fire!
