(I formatted my thread so it is a little easier to read, I hope it works on everyone's computer)
Good Monday morning. I'm new to the forum, but signed up
today after a Google search for Polar HRM info.
Right now, I'm travelling down the east coast, while recording
my energy expenditure, in order to determine how far a bike
can travel on the energy in a gallon of gasoline.
There are 31,000 Calories in a gallon of gasoline and...
In the past 4 days, I've travelled 312 miles on 16,695 Calories, so
it looks like the "gas mileage" of a bike is going to come out to
around 600 mpg.
I'm wearing a heartrate monitor which tells me how many Calories I
burn (I've got an odometer as well) and just riding my head off each
day.
The online journal (which I just updated) can be found at http://onegallon.blogspot.com
This is the machine, a steel Autro-Daimler which I found in
my basement. It has been a great companion so far, with no
flat tires (luckily, since they are tubulars!) or any mechanical
mishaps, touch wood.

I'm in College Park, MD right now, and am going down to
Charlottesville, VA tomorrow.
