I'm a cyclist myself, which is one reason I don't have a quarantine side project -- I've just stepped up my (indoor) training. I'm stronger now, measured by functional threshold power, than I was before COVID-19 killed all my group rides.
(Well, for certain values of "stronger" -- I'm MUCH better at shorter intense efforts modeled on the trainer (say, < 90 minutes) but obviously I've lost some fitness for longer efforts (the week before we locked down here, I did an 80 miler with some racer friends).)
What are you using for calorie monitoring? I've found MyFitnessPal to be very useful, mostly b/c it has a huge library of food in it already. My wife used it to alone to lose about 30 pounds; just the act of watching calories in/calories out is super helpful.
