Have you ever done that exercise.......

.....on your bike where you have a cadence of 100 and you're in a 53x19......and then you switch to the 17, but try to keep your cadence at a 100.......then to the 16.....then the 15........then the 14.......then the 13.......and finally(unless you're one of those Masters 1/2/3 animals who use 11 tooth cogs), your 12......and holding it for as long as you can. Trying to keep it at 100 RPMs the entire time, for as long as you can. Man, I'm tellin' ya, those don't feel very nice. My legs started talking to me in a big way. And then I have to ask myself - what in the world were you doing????

Um, hmmmm......uh......Pain Caving it??? Sure. What the heck.
