I lose weight on my vacations.

In May I went to France with the bikes and rode alot (and ate and drank alot, but still lost a couple of lbs.).

In June I rode in Bike Virginia--5 days 250 miles, great food, and alot of it, and I lost a few more.

In September I'm planning on riding across North Carolina, and I expect to lose a few then, too.

Vacations are for losing. It's the rest of the time I have to worry about gaining!
