Hey bru

 

That's pretty good, 90k of climbing over 80 rides, more than 1000m per ride. I reckon that's better than avg. You a racing snake?

Been training for Sani2C, Trans Baviaans and Cape Pioneer. My favourite training rides:

Welvanpas, White and Yellow route combined

Jonkershoek, up to the saddle from both sides

Majick > Hillcrest > Contermanskloof > Meerendal and back

Tokai Mast (I do it twice on a good day)

Kleinmond to Lebanon and back via the mountain trail.

 

I try to get close to 1000m on a ride. Even with my commute from Table View to Tyger Valley I'll do a Hillcrest / Kliprug / Majick loop to get the climbs in. Throw in a few races like Tulbagh and the averages goes up.

 

Definately not a race snake, but the Pioneer is scaring the crap out of me, so will have to get at least another 50 000m of climbing in before October

That would make 80 000 m. of climbing

15 km/h ave and 82 rpm cadence, not racing that, it's sensible.

Sorry boet but I am going to report this! How can you use a word like "sensible" to describe a fellow hubber?

No don't have the bike anymore, discovered a small crack on the frame and returned to Johnsons who replaced the frame. Was very impressed with them. There was no quibble just replaced it with another Raleigh frame.Had 3 Raleighs in total,changed to Peugeot had 2 Zini's ,currently cycling on a Schwinn Fast back Pro (Aluminium) that needs to be replaced with a carbon frame(sometime)

 

I have a Peloton going in the classifieds if you're interested...

What always amazes me is the amount of calories we burn, relative to non exercising people. Well over a million calories used up by just those who have thrown up their stats here. Take 10 couchies, those calories are still inside those boys, and counting. Thats worth a few beers and peanut butter sarmies over a lifetime. Imagine your lazy mates trying to do 40K on a MTB, they going to bleed from the eyeballs, and we just cruise that on a Thursday morning without thinking. And we're avg Joes.

Calories burned and altitude gained will be the two inconsistent and inaccurate pieces of data here.

 

Dependent on your cycling computer, there are two basic ways of calculating calories and they are both at best a thumbsuck and average. There are too many variables between one athlete and another for this calculation to be accurate. Max HR, age, fitness level, VO2max, metabolism, intensity of excersise, resistance... to name a few, needs to be accounted for to be accurate.

 

Plus you continue to burn calories after your session has ended, your cycling computer doenst accout for that.

 

Basically, you need to be hooked up to machines in a lab with guys with white coats than can even tell the rate at which O2 mixes with your blood, for it to be more accurate.
