Thanks for posting that article!!! Since I started cycling, I've been amazed by that also. There's one guy in a local cycling club (he owns my LBS) and while he's got quite the gut- that man can FLY on his bike (and he's not a bad runner either). Blew me away the first time I saw him race (he averages about 25 mph in the local duathlons).

I saw your pictures on the thread about the weekend, and you are fit looking. You look shorter than some of the others, but you're definitely fit looking!!! I'm short, and I know that in order to look "thin" I have to be VERY tiny in weight. Not gonna happen again, so now I'm just going for the muscular look. I think it's hard to look thin on a short person unless you weigh next to nothing.
You look strong ladybug- those skinny women obviously couldn't hold a candle to you on the hills- so who'd want to be as thin as them anyway???
