Off by a factor of two at least. A typical water bottle is less than 1 lt, 24oz or 1.5 pounds.

My bike planes without the water bottles.

strong +1 on the rest/sleep issues.
Healthy amounts of sleep means a healthy level of hormones which means good recovery from workouts and less inflammation. I've also found that good sleep means less cravings for junk food, so less weight.

Hey, do you want "enhanced male performance" or not? (that's what the ads on the sports-talk radio station call it)

things were going so well that I decided to continue and rode all the way to my designated rest stop at a convenient store 20 miles away. Fortunately. the weather was nice and cool, a mere 60 degrees.

Please share your performance enhancing experience (other than the usual suspects).

I am still working on your first performance enhancing tip, losing 10 pounds. Except I need to lose 40.

Seeing one of these (like today) speeds me up.

I am in the lots of rest up early morning crowd. A good nights sleep, a cup of real good and strong coffee, and a piece of toast with yogurt and and honey on it. With that combo I am good for a fast two hour hammerfest on my favorite loop.
Come home clean up and have a great breakfast just as everyone is getting up,
love it.

oh well, fail at math 101..guess my point is that 3-4 pounds on a 170 pound rider+bike wouldn't make the world of difference in performance....

This is very true for me also. Today was such a case where I crushed all my PR’s. Sure enough I had a good tailwind.

Ended up first in my category over my riding buddy, on a flat course, who out weighs me but he didn't have good looking rabbits to chase.

I have noticed, personally and by observing others, that, in the weight room, the intensity of lifting goes up significantly when there are attractive female lifters on the floor.
