Big Quads

I was doing my nightly way-too-much-surfing session and ran across Beth Bikes! blog and that got me thinking about quad sizes (since she is OCD about measuring and commenting on her quads.)

That led me to searching for big quads, which led me to A Year in Hell and finally to a podium picture of the winning team from the World Track Cycling Championships last March. One of the winners, Gregory Bauge has 69cm quads.

All this quad surfing got me to jump on the quad measuring bandwagon. Mine are 71cm. Sadly I have a bunch of quad fat while Gregory has approximately zero.

But at least I have a plausible objective reason why I seem to break rear hubs with painful regularity.
