Hey thanks Lori.
Even working out twice a week, I noticed a difference.
I went into the gym being sore from riding just so I could tell a trainer exactly which muscle I was using.
I work out my deltoids, pectorials, trapazoids and back muscles(don't know what they're called).  These muscles are weak. :whiner:   I do 1/2 hour of cardio(after my heart beat is at max bpm) and do squats for my leg power.  
My last and weakest area is my stomach which totally affects how long I can stand on the bike which directly affects my lower back.
If I'm wearing out, I'm not riding well.
There is a marked difference in what I can ride over (logs, rocky technical, creeks, steep downhill switchbacks, etc...).
You will open up a whole new level of riding for yourself if you are more fit.
You don't have to be olympic athlete either.
I used to think, I need more finesse, more technique but it won't matter if I don't have the strength to max out my potential.
I gotta tell ya...I love downhills now :yeehaw:
