This is a big "duh" to anyone who rides mtb. If I haven't ridden my mtb in awhile, and go out for a big day on it, it is my upper body that gets tired first, before my legs.

Next they'll be telling us that riding in deep mud or sand requires more effort.

The National Enquirer once published a "story" about how driving a manual trans. car would help you lose weight. True story...
