Building up a clone of my 2003 Jamis Aurora touring bike to live in Iowa for use on RAGBRAI and tours that start in the midwest! #adventure

Memorial Day test food budget. 3 days, two nights, 45 miles. I'm not sure if I'm high or low on my estimate. Currently 2.07 lbs per day. #adventure #pct

Test packing for my PCT #adventure

First time on the touring bike "Freedom NarGoat" since the #biketour . I look a bit different since the last time I rode it in Iowa.

My baby is home! Putting the #biketour ride back together, with my Xtracycle in the background. If only I could ride them both at once!

Weight Loss

I was looking at summer photos from the bike tour and found evidence of my shrinking upper body. It appears 0-1,000 miles I mostly lost fat, then 1,000 - 4,064 miles I started losing significant amounts of muscle (my legs were growing just as fast, so maybe it all just moved south.) The shirt did also stretch some. Total weight loss was only 10 lbs, thanks in part to leg muscle mass.
