OK, so my attempt at humor was a failure -- again.
I know about big quads, since I spend time at the velodrome. Connie
Paraskevin Young, Marty Nothstein (in his track, as opposed to roadie,
days), and many others have duly impressed me with their leg development.
I remember going to US Nationals in Blaine, MN in 1992. On Saturday
night, we sat in front of two young women who were obviously body
builders, though one of them was pregnant. They said, "We came to see
some BIG thighs!" They went away happy, with Ken Carpenter, Paul Swift,
young Marty, and Nick Chenowth among the riders on the track.
