Ok so my answer is both. I'm fat and climbing sucks...but I love it or rather I love what's on the other side. I climb to get into shape and so that I can go down....really freaking fast.

I remember a ride last year when I passed a Suburban on one particular local decent. None of my riding partners could believe I did it but WTF it was a windy decent and that gas guzzler was doing like 30 mph. Nothing was coming up the other lane so I blew by him at 45 mph. LOL
