A couple of years ago, I figured fighting weight for me should be around 165. Last summer, I hovered around 162 and liked it. I'm within a pound or so at this point. So I'll say 164 and 6'2" or 2.22 lbs/in at this point. Wife, mother, and daughter are all giving me grief. I've mentioned this before, but my wife says I look like I just escaped from a concentration camp. I am riding better than I did last year, except that ambient temp./dew point/heat index down here in central Louisiana are noticeable. My physician up in northwest Arkansas, an uppity, Cervelo-riding, snotty-nosed, young punk road cyclist, told me I could tell the wife that I'm not too skinny. I told her. It made no difference.

At 2 lbs/in, I could turn sideways, stick out my tongue, and look like a zipper. I'll probably try to stay in the low 160s.

I loved the quote from Slowman.
