10-miler to Ledgers Road and back...

Yours truly on Ledgers Road, 5th October 2013 – good weather too!

I know that I could easily cycle 10 miles before work and put it to the test this morning, albeit leaving at 0900hrs (and returning at 1000hrs). It's five miles to Ledgers Road and, therefore, five miles back, which as we all know is ten miles...burning 450 calories.

The Kona Scrap at the five-mile point. Time to head home!

How much weight can we lose riding our bikes?

Just been checking out the calorie-burning potential of our cycling. It looks as if we can burn off around 1,365 calories on a Westerham ride and a shortish one-hour ride, to say Botley Hill and back, would burn off around 350 to 450 calories depending on which on-line calculator you rely upon. Considering men are supposed to take in roughly 2,500 calories per day, we're 'quids in' at the weekends so...bring on the frankfurters!
