another 37 mile ride ~ feeling great

apple party w/ food and drinks ~ feeling super great!

it was a good day @ HB 17th St.

3-4 ft, strong s swell, poor – fair

my bike commute to work:

18 miles each way

18 miles X 2 = 36 miles round trip

2 miles bonus trip @ mile 33 (korean barbeque w/ friends)

2 miles + 36 miles = 38 miles

38 miles / 2.25 hrs = 16.88 mph average

0.0675 calories per minute (cycling calorie burn rate @ 17 mph) X 208 lbs (my weight) = 14.04 calories per minute

2.25 hrs X 60 minutes per hour = 135 minutes

135 minutes X 14.04 calories per minute = 1895.4 calories

0.22 calories per 1 ft of elevation climbed X 145 ft = 31.9 calories

31.9 calories + 1895.4 calories = 1927.3 total calories burned

21% calories ~ fat burned = 404.733 calories ~ 0.89 lbs fat burned

79% calories ~ carbs burned = 1522.567 calories ~ 0.89 lbs carbs burned

38 miles / 18 mpg (my car’s mpg rate) = 2.11 gallons of gas

2.11 gallons of gas X $3.35 per gallon = $7.07
