I saw 192 this weekend

In the ongoing saga of trying to lose most of the 30 lbs I put on in the later part of 2007 and early 2008, I reached another milestone. 192#. This number represents 20 lbs taken off. I will temper this by saying that this is an empty weight. Just off the bike, just showered and no meal.

Some might not agree, there will just be some days when I will perform empty or real close to empty and that's just how it is going to be. On the really long rides, I would eat really heavy the night before doing them. That seemed to be a root cause of the excess tonnage. Anyway, I am sticking to the shorter 200k rides as a benchmark maximum so I don't have to take in 5000 calories the night before.

Saturday's 200k started close to home so I did it with some of the RUSA K-hounds. There were five in attendance. We rode from North Arlington out to Aledo, Willow Park and back along the Trinity Trail system and familiar roads in Parker County. Generally speaking, I had a good ride until about mile 100. I started to feel weak and the bonk was inevitable. Fortunately, the route had a tailwind the majority of the way home from that point.
