Hey Pcad, if I lived in your hood...would you ride with me?

At that weight, if you just rest your arm on one of the bike seats, the whole thing will collapse. The combination of shreded CF and the shorted Lithium battery, will make the whole mess bust into flames.

For your own safety bring your bikes up here, I will lock them into the bike vault. Bailey makes the best proximity alarm you could ever want. Any noise from the bike vault, and he starts full volume barking. He is on partrol 24-7. Your bikes will be safe up here and you will not be tempted to try riding one.

Don't forget the battery charger for Di2.

you didn't take into account your daily caloric intake, the type of work you do throughout the day and how many calories you burn there...for all we know you do absolutely nothing and eat 6500 calories a day and could very well be very close to your end of 2012 target weight way sooner if you quit cycling. Are you losing weight as of now?

If I eat a Whopper with cheese I will produce a gallon of gas. . .maybe more!

Pcad has only posted twice so far?

BTW he isn't shilling a software with the link in his sig line, it is a link for his CAD / patent drawing company. Pretty interesting site for me. What do I know I am an engineer and hang out in 50+. You may flame as necessary.

How many calories does one burn strumming a guitar?

So why are you still so fat?

rangerdavid

I think he took up mountain biking and smoking weed. One of those two statements may be true. Or neither.

group ride with me?

350,000 calories is 100 pounds of fat. So unless you currently weigh 1075 (which seems unlikely, if you're riding an average of 200 miles per week) you got something wrong somewhere.

There's also the issue of whether you'd eat as much if you weren't burning so many calories but since it looks like you probably slipped by an order of magnitude the food issue is probably pretty small by comparison.

Like I said, I was an art major in college. Don't bust my Pcad balls. Math is for idiots, like the ones running the banks and the mortgage companies c. 2002-2008.

contango 

If your balls are consistent with you weighing in at 1075 pounds I won't be going anywhere near them

If I weigh 220 lbs now and 200 lbs at the end of the year, then extrapolating it out, in 10 more years, I'd disappear altogether. So if you weren't too fat for this sport, you'd be gone by now.

This mathematical fiasco casts doubt upon Pcad's alleged mileage totals. I suspect if we subpoenaed his logs, we would see funny stuff such as this:

17 + 23 = 89

Happy New Year!

You're not just a pretty face.

patentcad

That checks out.

Hmmm, 1000lb of fat a year.

You must have a good plumber.

Right Said Fred

He probably added the same zero he forgot to subtract in the weight calc.

I'm most curious about the 35 cals/mi figure. Running is about 100 cals/mi, so the 35 figure would put 3 miles of cycling at the same burn as 1 mile of running (100-105). Dr. Kenneth Cooper (of aerobics fame) put the number at 4 miles of cycling for 1 mile of running, and that was on an old single-speed. 5 always felt about right for me. If it's really 35 cals/mi, I should have disappeared some time ago, I think. When I could run years ago (in my early 50s then), I'd run about 50 miles/week and weighed in the low 140s. I now cycle a little over 300 miles/week (in my early 60s now) and weigh in the mid 140s, but I might be eating a little more and not realize it.
