    Calories per Hour

    I just set up a little spreadsheet ( for AG) comparing this methodology to the one used by Arnie Baker in Bicycling Medicine. Of course, it is anecdotal based on a statistic of one (me) but it seems more accurate and useful. It gives a min and max calories per hour needed during a ride based on how quickly your stomach can absorb nutrients.

    Just thought I'd share my little experiment. Sorry it isn't as interesting as Nanci's coffee beans in the teeth research project.

    Don't they think anyone might be riding less than 15mph? :-)

    Choc covered espresso beans are just ruined for me. I only eat them in the privacy of my own home, now...

    I'd be happy to email my excel spreadsheet to anyone who wants it. Saves you the time of setting up all the formulas.

    Nanci, I estimated the coefficients down to 11 MPH. Seemed pretty simply and close enough for guvmint work.
