It is because my body's turning over large amounts of fluids when I'm cycling hard, and those fluids build back up when I'm not cycling as hard? I'm pretty sure I'm hydrating enough.
I'm very similar in weight and I see sub-10lb fluctations like that almost weekly. When I see masses that are close to 150 or 160lb I get excited or miffed.

I think it's due to a combination of factors, including what grumpy and Chuck said. Still, you should take any single explanation with a grain of salt.
