Cyclocomputer

I found a cyclocomputer at Target of all places and I was excited to get it because it was affordable. The only trouble I had with the thing was the directions. It didn't specify just how low I was supposed to put the magnet and the sensor, so I kept having to slide the sensor and magnet down the fork and spokes until it was almost at the hub. But, whatever, it works and I know Katie will have fun fooling around with it when I give her the bike back. IF I give her the bike back. Heh heh.
I'm just thrilled to now know how fast and how long and how many calories I'm burning when I bike, but I have yet to master its many different functions. It can't be that hard, right?

Bike Ride

Early this morning I biked about 15 miles with the roadbike for about 45 minutes to have an average pace of 20 MPH. I'm not sure what my top speed was (I kinda wish I had a cyclocomputer for this sort of thing) but I'm estimating it was about 25MPH or so. I burned off about 1000 calories (and I feel it in my legs and gluteus maximus).

Library Ride

I rode to the Wayne County Public Library and back. It's approximately 4.5 miles round trip and I did it in 14. Woohoo! So I did about a 20MPH pace to burn off 250 calories. The rest of the ride was spent doing incline climbs and flat sprints which burned off about 259 calories. Overall, about 509 calories burned.
