Something I found out: Calories burnt reported by a power meter is lower than one reported without a power meter.
Was wondering why yesterday’s ride posted a higher heart rate but yet lower calories burnt, as compared to a 4th Dec ride with the same 28km route, ride elapsed time and slightly earlier time of ride. Yesterday’s ride had much stronger headwinds, so that probably explains the higher bpm..
This can only mean one thing… I need to work more to burn off those delicious nasi briyani!
The stats:
Yesterday’s ride with Stages Cycling power meter:
Avg HR: 153 bpm
Max HR: 172 bpm
Calories: 532

4th Dec 2015 ride, without a power meter:
Avg HR: 143 bpm
Max HR: 167 bpm
Calories: 749
Anyway, here’re some of what I usually enjoy during the week…
