2009 is done and I just compiled a few stats on my Mountain Bike riding. I use a Polar s710 to keep track of all my rides - duration, mileage, climb, calories - and I record it on my computer both in the old Polar software as well as in a spreadsheet - I am a "data geek". So here is a summary of my year:
Totals:
Averages:
Bikes:
That was a good year bike riding wise. I am looking forward to another year of good riding.
(*) the slope is calculated as ratio of vertical feet climbed to the half of the horizontal feet traveled (half because I assume 1/2 of the mileage is climbing, 1/2 is descending... approximation - and "horizontal" means the projection on the horizontal plane)
Totals:
- 151 days of riding
- 248 hours of riding
- 1,516 Miles
- 232,735 feet of climbing
Averages:
- Speed: 6.9 MPH
- Calorie / hour: 708
- Miles per week: 31
- Miles per ride: 10
- Ride time per week: 5.1 hours
- Ride duration: 1.5 hour
- Climb per week: 4750'
- Climb per ride: 1541'
- Slope: 5.8 (*)
Bikes:
- I have three bikes, a ML8 which I rode 75% of the miles - 1128 mile - and a RIP9 (with a DUC32 :thumbsup: ) which I rode 25% of the miles - 389 miles. I also have a WeyLess back in Europe that I use to ride when I am there on summer vacations.
- My ML8 has a life time miles of approximately 4500, so it should break the 5000 miles mark sometime in the next few months.
That was a good year bike riding wise. I am looking forward to another year of good riding.
