    Rare rain storm in SoCal means no riding today. With this coming weekend being mostly shot, I'll have a lot of miles to make up.

    Week 1 (Partial) = 71
    Week 2 = (Mon. 59, Tue. 37, Wed. 0 , Thu. , Fri. , Sat. , Sun. )

    yin,

    how are you keeping track of your calorie expenditure? i notice you burned more on a 30 mile ride than the 43 mile ride a few days later...

    Miles are just a cumulative, and provided for the benefit of Former Colonials:wink:... By and large I work in Km (Velominati Rule #24 :smile: ) so I burned 1564kcal on a 24.37km ride and 1323kcal on a 21.01km ride... any small % variation talen up by the fact that I was riding my MTB on one ride and the roadbike on the other - and I tend to loaf about on the MTB, whereas I get on with the job on the roadbike :laugh:

    Calories are as per calculations from the Garmin 705 with cadence and hrm setup, as logged in garmin connect. When taken in combination with the input figures from MFP and my weight loss, the total Kcal discrepancy has tallied reasonably well - i.e. divide the weekly kcal discrepancy by 3500 and you get the # of lb's lost that week.
