Is mountain biking the hardest sport in the world, or am I a total whimp? I just tried riding to Whitehouse on West River rd. (a somewhat hilly dirt road closed in winter) a trip that I consider very easy on skiis. Well, if I was able to do 1 mile, I'm lucky. The uphill pedalling was so much harder than it is when riding on a paved road. My lungs were actually burning. It felt a lot like running.
You mt. bikers out there, is this normal? Am I doing something wrong? Is it just a matter of coditioning or does technique and equipment play a larger role than they do in skiing for instance?
Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.
