Ya, yours cuts off at 40, Spandex Dweeb....
The triathlon I attended (did not race) on Saturday the winner swam about a mile at a 1:19/100 yards, a 25 mile bike at 26.4 mph, and ended with 6.2 miles at 5:30/mile. You might argue that's a TOTALLY different endeavor and you would be right, but you could probably learn.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

Turns out Forrest Gump was right; about thirty minutes along I come across a Campfire member (Dave AKA Timbermaster) waiting by the side of the road waiting for me. Now, at times like this you really do reap what you sow, I mean some guys here are so widely disliked they coulda just been run over, or else left tied to a tree in Griz Country covered in BBQ sauce. But, since I'm usually polite to folks here, Dave (not the d&&khead, I mean another Dave) was concerned, offers me a ride to West Yellowstone AND gives me a down sleeping bag  See, Haysoos looks after his own sometimes  Drives me thirty miles here in return for which he graciously allow me to buy him lunch. Some may call this cheating but the rules plainly state that when some guy you've never met drives 60 miles out of his way to help ya out, ya get a free 30 miles. I didn't ask Dave if I could post his photo here so I won't, but here is a photo of one of the coolest guys on the 'Fire on his bicycle, BFE Montana..... ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48293428392_61e398491d_c.jpg) Dave (the cool one, not the other one) waited along this stretch, it really was a thirty mile haul through nowhere up them mountains to get to the Caldera.... ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48293342936_b03c6d87e2_c.jpg) Backing up, the view into the Madison River Valley yesterday morning.... ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48293411851_08cc759109_c.jpg) Main street Ennis, and the Shedhorn, a freakin' awesome outdoors/gun store.... ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48293404591_a25ba5c277_c.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48293405916_a785e6873d_c.jpg) That’s awesome! Look me up when you get to Massachusetts. Will do, by then I'll really be needing a pair of 8x42 Swarovskis to continue my journey....

Oh heck, didn’t even open ‘em. Enter in 180lb male, 90lb bicycle, a crapload of hills. Ballpark guessing your height @ 5'-8", and averaging between 10 - 12 miles an hour, 62 years old, bare-bones bicycle (entry for weight of extra gear not included in calculator), it's showing approximately 470 calories burned per hour of continuous peddling. (Entry for type and grades of terrain not included in calculator, either.) Less than 10 mph calories burned drops considerably --- average of 7 mph = 277.calories burned. Tks for going to the time and trouble I'd ballpark 300-450 calories per hour. When John Coulter passed through this country in 1806 he was ballparking about 500 an hour, well not him his horse. Went off the scale though when he was chased nekkid by them Blackfeet.

That’s awesome!
Look me up when you get to Massachusetts.
Will do, by then I'll really be needing a pair of 8x42 Swarovskis to continue my journey.... I almost posted, “If you make it to Massachusetts, I buy you a pair of 8x42 Swarovskis”, but I’d lose that bet.

Actually, while El Guapo wears his hat anywhere he choozes, a gentleman always removes his hat indoors. I also eat my peas with an upside-down fork, that's what a Brit upbringing will do for ya.

It was a real pleasure meeting and speaking with Birdwatcher today! We had great conversation over lunch in W. Yellowstone, discussing our kids, hunting, other fire members, his bicycling adventures, you know... the same stuff we talk about here at the fire. Good luck Mike, hope you avoid the hail and rain on the rest of your adventure, and may a greasy breakfast always be near. I’ll do my best to make it to that hog hunt next year!

OK, got a camping spot in the legendary KOA Gulag outside of West Yellowstone, one of the last ones they had, for only $55 per.
They asked me did I mind dogs????
Gonna see if'n I can scare up a haircut and a full body wax here in town before I ride six miles retrograde. Used to be flat but of late its increasingly downhill here in the Caldera.

Bicycle calorie app on your phone. Not a bad idea to make sure incoming = outgoing.
Thought it might help with those 11am start times. But what do I know. Tks but the system I use is ya get hungry, you eat. Prob'ly more efficient with an app but in this context not needed.

How many calories do you think you burn on an average day? WAG...... 4,000 - 5,000 maybe? I’d have to keep track and then look it up. Kinda funny, but when I think of a calorie burning dynamo, this doesn't quite fit that expectation of a 5,000 calorie chiselled calorie burner... . ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/1813/29893756158_5201504663.jpg) Ya but check out the schlong Thought that was a giant callus on your taint.
