The OP is about the same size I am, and 5 years younger. I also lift a weight here and there. I am a roadie, not a rock hopper.

I bring this up to show that there are similarities and differences, but very seldom do the cyclists on this site attack each other. Some sites carry on a "free-for-all" with very little civil discourse or intelligence. That gets boring quickly.

If you like it civil, stick around.
