my calves are about 17" aroud as well. i thank fencing... launching foward, pulling back.. stopping on a dime...
all while you wight 185... its a workout for the calves
do you have muscles on the front of your leg? right next/over your shinbone?
i can flex them by lifting up the toes of my feet... i've never really noticed them until now...

Ooooo, measurements! You are getting me all excited to see what will be posted next, boyfriends!
:p
I don't think that both my legs combined are 26" around! :D
Ummm...
Take this to the Womens Cycling Forum, and you'll find that not only can most of us beat you in the thigh area, we want SMALLER thighs too!
I'm shakin' my head.... why is it that men want the opposite of what women have already, and what women have, they don't want? :D

I am 5ft 8" tall 201lbs 34" waist 44" chest 23" thighs 17" calves. I would like to get around to 175-180 lbs but the more I ride the more I feed the machine with food!
