How much do you weigh?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Weight choices should have been 100 or less, 101 - 120, 121 - 140, 141 - 160, 161 - 180, 181 - 200, 200 and above. 10 lb increments would also be an interesting poll.

167, down from a max of 175 18 months ago.

I'm thinking about scaling back my caloric intake to lose some weight and get down to 155 but that always makes me feel like crap. My skin gets dry, I recover slower and get colds more often.

163 as of Wednesday. My optimal badass weight is 150-155 and my normal winter weight is right around 165. Not bad.

I weighed 200 not too long ago

5'9" 133lbs this morning after dropping a bomb.

Two pounds lighter.

Wikipedia says Rasmussen is 5'8.5" and 130lbs. Kind of interesting that I don't look nearly as skinny as him and I'm only a few pounds heavier and a half inch taller.

at 6 ft and 176 pounds I'd like to drop 6 pounds. 170 was my playing weight in high school and college.

6'2", 172lbs, Montezuma (and his revenge) had me down to 169 this past summer.

I've been within a five pound range for the last twenty years, I could stand to gain another 10 in my legs...

Do you have any pics of you on a bike?
I am 6'-2" at 205 lbs.
Would love to get down to 175 lbs and see what it looks like.

You guys are worse than a bunch of women. Does this lycra make my butt look big? Am I too fat?

I am at my "winter weight," and 158 lbs as of this morning. I am 5'11" and 41 years old.

I am already trying to work back to summer weight of under 155. Currently 10% body fat and want to be down around 8%, so there is some fat to muscle conversion instead of weight loss, other than a few pounds.
