Beer Me

Interesting data point from last year's riding - 1 beer = 8.0 miles on the road, or 3.25 miles on the mountain bike. Probably skewed that much due to more race training and racing on the mountain bike, more touring and commuting rides on the road. My Garmin Edge 500 tracks heart rate, position, distance, speed, cadence, elevation, could do power if I had a power meter (but Strava can estimate power from the uploaded data).   Bike computers have come a long way since my first one, a mechanical mile counter that used a peg attached to a spoke to turn a wheel.


So 1 loop at Island Lake (13 miles) is equal to about 4 beers... probably not the best way to power my rides though.


Try getting that off your AMF Roadmaster Deluxe Mileage Counter!
