180cm/78kg down from 88kg 2 years ago and aiming for under 75kg this spring/summer to coincide with peaking. Race weight was 68kg back in the day.
Which raises a point; I am 55 yrs old and the weight gain was due to work, stress (read on the road doing 3-4 day shows with some minor health issues) and a full blown addiction to donuts. Healthy, weaned off the donuts and no longer on the road so training is the diet. But I think age and health are key. One without the other is hell. If you have both you can be as fit as you want.
Just for yucks... not smart enough to sift for the relevant data but if any one wants to slot in their numbers it might be interesting as a survey of the V community?

Wait something jumps out, Jeff needs anorexia intervention - Jeff you ok, can you still stand? Maybe this is why you are so slow on hills???
Oli if you get over the Turchino and the Poggio will you lead me out?

Added my age above. I've never raced so I don't have any known race weight.
I'm glad February is half over... it's starting to stay light later, meaning I can start to squeeze in rides after work soon. Even getting out for an hour and busting my ass beats riding inside or doing nothing, which has been the case more than I would have liked this winter. I have 4.5 kgs I need to lose by the summer!

Age added. I'd also like to add number of children (3), which is probably an important number for those of us who have been through the breeding and blimping stage.

I don't race now but my race weight is definitely my best climbing weight.
Age added for myself and 5 is the number of kiddos. Should be fun to revisit this post in 8 months and see any changes!
Damn! I really screwed that up. Let's try it again:

Also, we have a lot of tall guys on here! (or maybe I'm just short but never felt that way before?)
