So does that mean my 5'9 145lbs should be moving to the track? I can keep my heartrate in the 190's for a couple minutes. I am be pretty aero to boot.

BTW, if you're a good skinny little climber, it is humbling to discover that good kilo or pursuit riders will beat you up most hills that last just a couple of minutes, even if they are big guys. That's how much power they can put out.
As a track neophyte who recently did my first 4000m pursuit I'd say apart from their power output they also are used to staying at a high heart rate (90-95%) for several minutes required to stay up there on the shorter climbs.

I don't think the banking's high enough for you to have any advantage climbing it.
A little track workout now and again could do wonders for the rest of your riding...

Willpower with regards to diet, and by extension, gravity, is not as romantic, but more effective.
Kurgan is right about this and CO leads the nation in willpower (see link below) which explains why many the best climbers come from CO. Based on the evidence here (rbr), CA leads the nation in talking about willpower.

Mississippi ranks last in education level, last in per capita income and first in obesity.
That is a clear indication that a nation has too much food to eat - when the poorest state is also the fattest.
Does Mississippi have cell phone coverage yet? I saw a coverage map a few years ago and basically the entire nation had coverage (except for a few dots here and there) except for one big blotch: Mississippi.
Didn't Mississippi also lead the nation in lynchings during the Civil Rights Movement? It's not surprising where they are today.

You had me until you quoted an article from "Mens Fitness"? Give me a
break
Quoted message said:
that rag should be called "Mens Gayness"...what's goin on Henry??
I remembered a study that had San Diego as the skinniest metropolis in the nation followed by Denver, but couldn't find it. The only thing I could find (without looking *too* hard) was the Men's Gayness article.
Do you have a subscription or do you just get it at the supermarket?
Interesting.... all the New England states are ahead of California..
California is skewed, in a way, by a relatively high percentage of one or two ethnic groups that tend towards obesity. If you want to live in a culture that encourages fitness (most) of CA is much better than New England in this regard. And why shouldn't it be? We can ride or do stuff outside 330+ days a year and Dunkin' Donuts has not yet infiltrated widespread areas of California. And if you don't like to exercise to get a "fit" shape we have the highest number of liposuction and body-shaping surgeons in the US. And can I tell you? You... loook...mahvelous!

That's what I was asking you. My wife works for an outwardly gay man and he loves the mag. Do I need to spell it out any clearer. It's like being a fattie and admitting it. There's nothing wrong with being gay; but not admitting is sad...

This is consistent with my observation -- if done by metro region, SF and SJ would end up near the top -- up there with Denver and Dover.
But no state should take pride in those stats. Based on 1991 numbers, at which time the nation was still in terrible shape, in 2000 we were 50 Texases or worse. And we're growing every year.

Do you want fries with that?
Is the US lifestyle really that different from 9 years ago? Are people really eating that much more and exercising that much less than only a few years ago? I wonder if there's some element in the corporate foodstuffs that's causing it. Like maybe GMO foods, or some new version of trans fat, or some new fangled hormone in meat, etc...

My very personal theory is that this fenomena is due to what I call factory food or preprocessed food. Every year we are eating more preprocessed food and every year obesity is getting worse. I first started going to the states in the sixties as a kid and everybody was a lot fatter than at home in Sweden. However nowhere near as bad as it is today. In Sweden we are probably starting to look like you guys did in the sixties and catching up fast. Especially kids.
