I did have a little retention blip of some kind, though, that had me hit 181.x yesterday (down to 180.x today). Must be pilfered Halloween candy lodged in my gut.
I decided I'm comfortable with how I look and how I ride at 200# - Still Too Fat For This Sport! - because I'm finding that even late in longer rides, climbs that I used to crawl up at 6-8 mph that would leave me gassed at the top I can now do at almost 12 mph and get to the top feeling much better.
