Weights king, and rolling resistance. When I use the MTB on road, I pump the tyres up to 50psi, which makes it an awful lot easier to cycle. However, the bike will also weigh an awful lot. On the flat, you can pump out, easily, 20-25 mph with a good road bike, but a MTB will struggle at between 15-18, no matter who is riding it.
In my bike club, I am the largest at around 80-85 kilos, and you can see it on the climbs. Losing weight will always help you.Comment

Why not do some offroad riding? There's some great routes through the woods and common near you, and it gives a much better workout for the distance covered. I did a 12 mile offroad last Sunday - was much more knackered than the 30 on road the week before.Comment

Just cycled two hours with the speed skater I met last weekend and one of his team mates. I am now completely and utterly knackered to the point of falling over. Stupidly agreed to meet up again next Saturday morning to ride a few hills seeing as they're happy to have an extra man who can keep up .
Will now go the pub and eat a couple of bowls of pasta.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

Mmm, pasta:
