NEVER ask a bike weenie this. I rode 60+ miles yesterday and ate a bowl of Rice Krispies and a grapefruit. I'm in full weight loss mode.

Next question.

It was pretty depressing last Saturday. I rode 107 miles, didn't eat or drink very much (two 20oz. Gatorades, a few cookies) and when I weighed myself afterwards I was HEAVIER. Gotta get rid of that stupid bathroom scale and ride some more : ). But my wife told me I look like a P.O.W. refugee the other day, so I may be getting there....

And anybody who thinks I have an eating disorder and will lose too much weight DON'T WORRY. I watch Domino's Pizza commercials on TV in November and gain 5lbs.
