Plateau blues



This morning the plateau dam finally broke and I went from 248 yesterday to 245lbs today. With that I reset myfitnesspal settings so my daily caloric intake is reduced and I keep losing weight. Synac42 I gave up actual MTB's a couple of years ago to reduce body flying off bicycle time. I have replaced MTB's with older 27"x1 1/4" bicycles. Some I've converted over to 700c and can get a 40mm tire on the old Schwinn Varsity frame and forks. 40mm 700c wheels and tires work very well on dirt roads and trails. No room for mud on the rear wheel of the Varsity. Pictures of said Schwinn Varsity at Port of Sacramento south levee road. My 27" wheeled bicycle flies over the dirt roads which really surprised me. I expected to be wobbling and sliding around in between flat tires. I use Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires on all my bicycles and the 27" wheels are solid, durable and ride beautifully on dirt roads. No flats caused by little sharp rocks and such. A shout out to rumrunn6 for 100 plus meals under 500 calories. Keep up the good work everyone.
