Which seems a completely reasonable answer.

And here's where I'm jealous of WhyFi's physique - my weight explodes after big days. Like I said, I didn't dare to check the scale yesterday, and today I'm at 179. It'll take me a few days to peel off whatever that all is. Time to go hit the Veloway.

Intervals told me my estimated FTP broke 200 today, putting me at about the median for the 60-69 age group.

My two cars have almost identical license plates. One has three letters and two numbers and the other is the same with an extra letter but people don't seem to notice the extra letter so I often get asked how we got the same plate twice.

179 is the "three pounds light" that I weighed in at yesterday.

Yeah, I read it somewhere once. Anyway, seems to goes away in a day or two as does the surprise weight gain.

Weird. I'm certainly familiar with getting my pump on, from days when I was lifting as a yute, but I'm trying to think of weight bumps after hard days on the bike. I know that I've come across a few head-scratchers where my weight went in the opposite direction than I'd thought it would, but I never keyed in on a pattern. LSDs almost always result in a dip in weight for me, but now I'm wondering if more punchy rides are the ones that see a bump. Maybe I'll have a look over the numbers.
