I was 3kgs lighter a week after I completed the riding than I was a week before I started. So actually over a 4 week period. For all I know I may actually have lost 4-5 kgs during the riding period of 14 days and put a little back on before I got back home.CKinnard wrote:what was your weight loss 2 weeks after getting home?cyclotaur wrote:I once rode 870 km and climbed 19000m over 14 days - I was away for 3 weeks, ate like a horse and lost 3 kgs.
Just another anecdote though.....
I rode 800km in a week, and 320km in a day, and net weight loss was nothing a week later in both cases.
What you don't volunteer cyclotaur is your bodyfat % before starting.
As for body fat % well, hey, I wouldn't have a clue ! I did say it was just another anecdote. [emoji3]
Point is just that by doubling (and a bit) my normal kms I lost weight. Energy out > energy in.
