I don't know!? Since my legs are built specifically for cycling
probably not very high. BTW, the longest ride we do is 207 mile,
one day ride (close to June 21st). It takes 12.5 hours worth of
saddle time (start at 4:30 AM and finish no later than 8:30 PM).
We normally finish before 8 PM (once as early as 6:50 PM). I've
done 6 of the these double centuries. They're not hard to do
but you'd better know what you're doing. Oh, the pack is lighten
up quite a bit but I still have the 3L of Gatorade on my back
that I kept filled every twenty miles (our normal stop distance).

I'll just say that I don't look like that guy in Monster.com
commercial (he pedals to keep the earth spinning). Actually my
legs fit tightly in normal jeans. The problem is that my belly
is still too large for my slight frame. Hopefully this year
I'll lose a lot more weight off my body.
