awesome thread!

I am doing NROL for Women, and am just getting into Mt. biking. I just wanted to say hi!

I lift 3 days a week, and only cycle twice a week. (more for fun, but I like the aerobic aspect) So far, it seems like the lifting is helping me out tremendously with Mt. Biking. it's giving me strength to power hills and more confidence on the trails. And mt. biking (where I bike) seems more like HIIT then full aerobic workouts to me. Downhills not requiring tons of effort, then the uphills where the HR zooms up.

Any rate, heavy lifting and mt. biking seem like a good complement to each other, is what I am saying.
