Haven't tracked it in a while but certainly no more then 100 grams. Good to know there is no need to worry about trying to cut down the legs aswell (probably means I can only loose like 17-16 lbs from this point but that is fine with me.)

Not sure why most are picking on the OP. Yes, you can drop the weight; and yes you can keep the bulk/muscle in the legs. Good luck.

Here is the strategy you should follow:
Do all that you can to hold onto the muscle.
Do all you can to lose the fat.
Continue to ride and mix in some weight training.
OK, the thread can be locked now, the answer is as simple as rkwaki's post right here.

He wants to lose the muscle in the leg and is looking for a very particular answer, i.e. only those he agrees with.

Typical bfs...

Eat healthy and ride your bike. The rest will sort itself out.

Asked and answered, closing thread.

Pretty straightforward. A bit of hypertrophy from getting started in the sport (more leg mass). A bit of fat from overeating (common). Diet to lose weight, don't worry about leg size in either direction.
