April 5, 2024 By Deane Barker • April 5, 2024 • 30 min --- Max cal on the bike Pretty simple one, but I’m mentioning it for a couple reasons: I want to keep track of my calories on this – I’ll add to this post if I do this again I’m pretty shocked at how well I did. I was on the bike for 30 minutes about a month ago, and I got either 325 or 365 calories (I can’t remember, but it was one of those numbers). Today I got 459 calories. All throughout the ride, was mentally calculating where I would end up. I was two minutes in, and had 30 calories. I did the math and it was … 450 calories. I thought, “No, there’s no way I can hold that for 30 minutes…” But I did. Really impressed with myself, honestly. I hate long stretches on the bike. Postscript Added on April 14, 2024 Got 477 cals, which is 95.4% of 500, which is the goal. Postscript Added on April 17, 2024 Got 483, which is 96.6% of 500. I was actually going for meters. I friend posted 15,111m in 30:00. I pushed really hard, but only got 14,780. I just happened to switch over and check the cals too. Postscript Added on April 24, 2024 Got 492 cals and 14,945m.
