I'll ...How far is the round trip to the store? I'll throw in my two cents and say that you're overly optimistic that a trip to the store will burn anywhere near a third of the cals in a six-pack. When I used to race I estimated that I would burn only about 850 calories riding a 40 km time trial in an hour. For my (then) 6'2" 210 lb frame at an average speed of 25 mph that worked out to about 34 calories/mile (most of the energy expenditure at that speed to overcome aero drag). I'd say you need to do an out and back of the full Monon trail for every beer if you want to cancel out the calories :-)<br />Keep up the riding. Regular exercise elevates your resting metabolic rate so that you burn more calories even when at rest.Bruce B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-11509348821658923542009-10-01T13:49:54.927-04:002009-10-01T13:49:54.927-04:00Yeah, it is nice being able to shoot in the back y...Yeah, it is nice being able to shoot in the back yard...or the front yard...or the side yard...<br />On the other hand, I have to dispose of the 'possums I shoot when they come after the cat food.
