I didn't mean to give the impression that I am doing A rides. But, I have ridden with A riders in general rides and can hang as long as there's no elevation.
As for weight training....in the gym I can max out the leg press machine and with my quad lifts I'm doing 3 sets of 10 with 70 lbs. Don't know how that measures up.
