so what are YOU built for?

[bounceswoosh]

I have been cycling for about 3 yrs now and I have finally accepted that I am built to go the distance...

I am NOT built for climbing, I am NOT built for speed or racing... but once in my groove I can just go forever...

so what are YOU built for? and are you happy with where you're at or do you want more of yourself?

Me? I don't think I'm built for any of it. Okay, I'm talking mountain biking here, but it's all a struggle -- climbs, sprints, technical stuff, you name it.

Then again, I've just been riding for two years, and I'm starting to notice that I'm getting much faster at downhills. It's possible that I'll eventually find that I'm built for downhills, because as I ride more, taking obstacles at speed is getting less scary and far more exhilirating. I was amazed to ride with some friends a few weeks ago, friends I hadn't ridden with since last year, and see that I can keep up with them, and in places even feel comfortable riding faster than them.
