You could do a couple of things.

Sounds like you like carbs and don't want to drop those.

My advice is to ride at least 30-50 miles per day. Then you should be able to eat as many carbs as you want, as you will be riding at least 3 hrs.

The 10-12 miles is probably taking you under 1 hr. No chance of bonking there!! Heck I just rode to work this am 13.3 no breakfast until I got to work, I rode just fine.

Anyhow, you can either adjust your exercise to meet your diet or adjust your diet to lose weight.


BTW, you don't have to ride the 30 miles all at once. 3-10 milers will do the same, your burning calories that's all that matters. Though I would also incorporate some resistance training and do some other cardio so that your don't get any injuries for just biking.

I would also suspect when you do start to lose weight--once your find the right combo, it will come off pretty quickly after that. But you have to change your metabolism!! Make sure your not just checking your weight as well, Tape your chest and your stomach to see if your losing there. Also might want to tape a thiegh and your neck, write down the measurements and keep track, I bet you will be suprised at the results after a few weeks.
