Alright I can agree with the relative aspect. But you certainly are not fat. Maybe you have a bit of muscle mass you need to drop. Me too. Can you see your lower abdominal muscles? Do you think you're somewhere near 6% BF? I just think you look pretty lean and mean, bro.

He looks thinner in person.

EDIT: I need to do the rice and fish head soup diet, too.

I've got some big ass guads. Why am I smiling when I'm climbing up an 11% grade?

This photo got taken of me earlier today and I thought of this thread

We wear the helmet covers because there are multiple grades on the course at once and they need to distinguish who's who.

Much suffering. Trying to chase down the two leaders. The pack is very exploded far behind us.
I am in red/white/gray.

EDIT: Big thanks to John Wilke for taking some great pics!

I've learned to use my feet instead of my hands. Cuz you just never know.

I can't deal with gloves. Only during crits, which is most of the time. The only reason I do road races is because of the opportunity to race without gloves.

You'd think the guy with the death-ray eyes would have a better tan. Or maybe that's just what happens when you spend too much time looking at Chucklehead's arse? He seems pretty happy about it.

To be fair, that was only the ass end of a group sitting mid-field. The race shattered and I finished first of our group of 15, in 53rd place (of 100)

You may be onto something. I pooped bright green from all of the blue accelerade I drank that day and I love tooting on the bike.

Don't sell yourself short. We had more than that in our group
