I was in my LBS the other day and one of the customer said "look at the pistons on that woman!". so I've got muscular quads, but what good are they for if I don't have a great sprint and my legs will never be skinny enough toqualify as a stick-skinny climber?
Time Trial! I don't sprint well, but I can climb (even though I am heavy at 170lbs) and I TT VERY well. Win RR from the break, Win Crits from a break (not as much yo-yo-ing), and stomp people at TTs. Don't worry about not being a skinny climber or a massive sprinter. Most people are not one of those extremes and can still do very well with the exception of the extreme races (TTs that go straight up or RR that you cannot hide your break from the peloton).
