Truth be told though, unfit, you can handle a few runs, but then you're so fatigued that you make mistakes and it becomes dangerous. I can do 10 runs now (with shuttles) before the arms and legs start getting a bit wonky. The 1st lot of shuttle runs I ever went on I was rather buggered after 4. You don't feel puffed, you just feel weak, it's an odd sensation compared to slugging it out on some Single Track.Hz-Lab wrote:U don't need fitness to ride downhill lol, but you need fitness to ride downhill fast.
But then if we talk about Walk ups, sheesh, I hate walkups, just sucks that every trail next to me can't be shuttled.. My local Trail, which is known as "80 acres" or just "80's" to the cool kids like me, is walk up only, I normally get 2 runs in up there over an hour. Walking up the hills is good for you sure, but pushing a almost 20kg bike back up with you whilst carrying all the extra weight from body armor and being padded up sure does hammer you. You can do it all day though, you just need to take your rest opportunities.
One time though, at the Mitcham trails here in Adelaide, I saw a guy on a Downhill bike put in about 15 runs while I was exploring on my XC bike, he belted down and then walked back up with astounding pace, he looked fit as, and he damn well must of been. What a freak..lol. Mitcham is one of the smaller trails around but it's still like 300m of elevation over 2k's or something.

Re: Bike gallery.
Road Bikes First.
my favourite .. '05 model Giant TCR C2
Full Carbon, Ultegra running gear, Mavic Ksyrium Elite wheel set
Specialized Langster, Las Vegas aka "Goldie". Single Speed, Velocity Deep V wheel set. Fun/interesting bike to ride as well as bling-tacular
My first roadie aka "Pinky". Built for me in 1990, and originally an eye catching Fluoro Pink. Originally with 6 speed downtube shifters, it was kitted out with the first generation of Ultegra/Shimano 600 STI 8 speed shifters for more than i paid for the bike originally. Doesn't get a lot of use now days, but has been lent out to work colleagues looking to have a go ..

Re: Bike gallery.
My two:
'97 (ish) GT Outpost
Everything except the frame itself, and possibly the quick releases have been replaced at some point in its life.
'05 Kona Dawg
My general purpose offroad rig. Too heavy to be a XC bike, not enough travel for a freerider. Nevertheless it handles everything I'm game to throw at it. Love it.
Bike group hug!

Re: Bike gallery.
Time to show of my do it all race beast. Nothing special but it's never let me down even after all the training & racing incl 2xMelb to Warny's...not bad for something around $2.5K which comes in at 8.5kg dry in an XXL size.
So after quite a few years of keeping it finely tuned it's now a mix of mainly Ultegra 6600 with an Ultegra 6700 Crankset but also a 7700 Dura-Ace rear derailliuer and 7900 Dura-Ace Bottom Bracket. Also has an FSA AL cockpit with FSA carbon seatpost and Fizik Arione seat with Pro-Lite Stelvio wheelset running Conti GP4000S's.
Sorry for the low quality iPhone pic.

BAUM, a slice of cycling heaven & all Aussie made.
by the way you do realise that they now have full integrated Ti seat posts on some of their frames? :O
I know a bloke @ work who knows a bloke who works for them, too scared to ask if he can get me mates rates....
While were talking Ti, one of our 6amers riders just got this, loves it.
