BMI is a really crap indicator of weight, if you've been cycling for a while you may find each leg weighs a metric tonne. It's better to focus on bodyfat.
Which if you're a man is easy to measure as most fat stays on the belly so focus on getting the outside fat down in size :)
Take weight and tapemeasure for belly, if weight and belly go down: good. (once a week, take the same day, in the morning and not obv. after a night on the piss as you'll be waterlogged or dehydrated and measures will be off)
If weight stable and belly goes down: more muscle also good (unless you want to really starve yourself down for hills like Sean Kelly did...but that may be not fun at all :)Also track calories on myfitnesspal, boring but it works. If your diet is shit/or you are just eating too much of healthy things your weight will drop fast, if it's not getting to 86 may be work enough.
Take a post training recovery drinks.
Drinks can be simply low fat chocolate milk btw. Or splash out on Sky stuff which is nearly everywhere (or make it yourself with myprotein stuff & some other cheap ingredients if you can be bothered)Good luck smash all the hills :)

@Pifko Agreed. That or drugs.
@andyp if I can get to 85kg I will be skeletal... that's the plan.
Edit: Just did the BMI calculator thing and turns I can get to 77kg and still be classed by the WHO as normal... juice cleanse anyone?
