I'm currently worried that I don't have enough fat reserves for hard days of riding and may be utilizing muscle for fuel. The image is from last year when I weighed 190 lbs.

It is hard for us "athletic" types to get great power to weight ratios. I carry too much upper body muscle and I will not trade it for lower weight. In fact, I continue to work on upper body strength.
I do not think you have anything to worry about with fat stores and low weight. If that were a problem, the elite marathon runners would be in big trouble.
