Yeah, as I most likely won't be collecting points, wins, and kisses from the podium girls one of my greatest rewards will being able to eat like a horse in a few months. I plan on trying to be at about a 350 average calorie deficit p/ day until ~12-14lbs come off. Then hoping that my appetite and riding kind of balance each other out for the rest of the season.

And can you guess what 4.5 mile climb I'm using as a baseline?
