    6'2" 12 and a half stone ( over 80kg )

    I live in Devon so I get plenty of practice on the hills

    The Pros really do loose all body weight. George Hincape, when he was Lance's domestique, was 6'4" ( two inches taller than me ) and 2 kg lighter at 78kg

    I read a description of a Pro cyclists diet plan "when my girlfriend can see my internal organs then I am thin enough"

    Can you diet to that extent? I can't :)

    Eh?

    12 and a half stone is 175lb, 79.3kg

    I'm 6ft and currently 12st 5, down from 15, 6 11 months ago.

    I was awful at climbing to start with, but now I can get up all the Box Hill climbs pretty easily, and will be trying the Alps in 2 weeks for the first time...;-)
