When I am fit, I can hang with the 5s on the group ride. But no way I can hang with the 4s and 3s.

But now that I have 5000 base miles, I'm expecting wings to sprout.

Right now, I am lucky to hang with a decent recreational cyclist and fat mountain bikers.

IPU probably has more talent.
I don't know about that. I didn't take the training wheels off my first bike until I was 15 years old and had to learn all over again for this bike. "Like riding a bike" is a lie, as far as I'm concerned.

Here's how I would rank all of these riders I've never met:

1)Goose/Arch
2)Goose/Arch
3)RC Viking (only because he says he's old)
4)Big Piney/Mt. Biker
4)Mike Waters
5)Q
6)BYU Pride/Il Pad
7)SteelBlue

I like to lift, but a bodybuilder I'm not. I'm your average Joe. I took your advice about a year ago and went with the lifting to lose bodyfat.

Piney is an up and comer, if he'd ever dedicate some time to it.

You can ask Piney how old, average and bottom of the barrel I am.

Steel is just making fun of me; which is okay. However, he knows nobody but Goose can hang with the indefinite thirty man.

You guys are funny. How are you ranking people you've never met? By the amount of smack they talk (or in Archaea's case, the self-deprecating remarks)?
