Are the muscle groups used in recumbent riding the same as those used in
backpacking? Seems I read it was the gluts and the hamstring muscles.
It would be great if one sport would augment the other.

of overlap.Quoted message said:

For aerobic conditioning, clearly they do.
For long uphills while backpacking, think gearing and cadence,-- taking
smaller steps at somewhat faster pace may get you up the hill when longer
slower steps will wear you out. Sustainable power output works better for
me than the hike-stop hike-stop mode of up-hill hiking.Jon
