	Big's right.  I was in the Davis Bike Club and we trained 6 days
	a week.  The biggest legs of all were had by the girls... wow,
	talk about tree trunks, yet they weren't unattractive. :)  I never
	new why that was.  The guys that trained a lot were certainly
	stronger yet the legs were smaller.  Anyone know why?

	I remember when I discovered that I had huge leg muscles, about
	six months after I'd started serious training. I was drying my
	legs after a shower, flexed something and this large lump pops
	up with a correspondingly large crater next to it.  At first I
	was a little shocked and then it sunk in that the exercise had
	had its effect.  one of life's entertainingly memorable moments.
