hey, now you are seriously misquoting someone, and I am contemplating suing you for that

It is no one's case that hill climbing is the best way to gain weight. I was only trying to say, between flats and hills, hills score higher on power, which equates to muscle gain.

Again no general statements. What applies to me, who is trying to achieve ideal mass from below, may not hold for Salsa who is reaching his ideal from above. On balance, I think I should be doing more hills, and Salsa, flats...for whatever negligible difference that makes.

And what applies to weekend riders like us won't apply to pros...
Wasn't replying or quoting anyone in particular Just wanted to post empirical evidence that hill climbing would seem to make you thin! I do not know much about the biological aspects of cycling so can't comment on that much.
