... more useless data to ponder.
On a scale of 1-10, 10 being best, how would you rate as a rider, compared to other BF members here.
To start, I'm probably a 6

I would find that hard to answer. My strength would be on the flats but sure I've been compared more to the climbers on long mtn rides.

What I meant from this thread was that BF members are very strong riders. It's true that some are younger, some are stronger on flats, some are stronger on hills ... just wanted to make a generalized comparison ... and that is not to add personality into this ... just a self assessment of your cycling in general, compared to other SoCal BFers ...

On flats a 6, maybe a 7; climbing hills a 3, going down 9.
I can do hills but the parachute always releases as soon as I caught a gradient. Need to work on that.

I give myself 3 for cycling.
Then 3 for running.
And maybe another 3 for swimming.
So all in all, i'm a 9 which is just pretty much awesome.
