Who doesn't love Stats?

I'm into these kinds of things, so I thought I'd post some statics from my ride to Virginia just for fun. Not including the day I rode to the post office in Berea to lighten my load, I rode 1,918.78 miles or 106.60 miles per day. Including stops, from the time I started in the morning to when I got to my stopping point, it took 142 hours, 16 minutes, and 39 seconds.  That's an average of 7 hours, 54 minutes, and 15 seconds a day. Not including stops, the bike was moving 123 hours, 4 minutes, and 24 second or, on average, 6 hours, 50 minutes, and 14 seconds a day.  That's 15.59 miles per hour. I climbed 91,203 feet total or, on average, 5,056.83 per day. I burned 67,606 calories (on the bike) or 3,755.89 per day. If you count a pedal stroke as one complete rotation of the crank, there were over 520,258 pedal strokes or complete rotations.  That's over 28,903 per day.

I hiked the Appalachian Trail today

The Appalachian Trail passes through the center of town and I walked through there today as I was getting supplies. So... I hiked the Appalachian Trail!

Frostie and french fries...

... they're a biker's best friend.  Just 20 more miles to go for today. 

The real reason I rode my bike to Tulsa

The real reason I rode to Tulsa. 😀  Fajitas are on their way. 

The breakfast of champions (or those dumb enough to ride a bicycle 185 miles the day before)

Looks (and tastes good)!
