Light Bikes and Fat Blokes

It's easy to get obsessed about weight with mountain bikes, shaving 5g here and there. The difference between bikes described as "cumbersome tanks" or "racing whippets" seems to be about 5lbs, so I reckon it will be easier to lose (say) 14lbs from me than from the bike and components I use.

Need to get a better fix on my ideal weight, but I'm sure I can afford to lose that stone at least. Maybe recording progress in public will be a useful motivation to stay on plan.

I have started to lose a little since this TR idea became serious about three weeks ago. Starting point 13 stone 7lbs, last week 13 stone 5.5 lbs, today 13 stone 4.5lbs.
