Bike Riding the Entire Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail

From Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail:

Warning! This post may make your head (and other body parts) ache…

Ponder this: 
If you biked the entire Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, from the Gateway Arch at The Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in St. Louis to Fort Clatsop at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park in Oregon, you’d ride approximately 2,700 miles. Now assuming you could ride an average of 75 miles per day (and you rode every day), amazingly you would complete this adventure in 36 days.

Using one of the calorie-consumption calculators on the internet, an average male rider would consume about 650 calories per hour, or around 6,500 calories per day. An average female rider would consume about 450 per hour, or 4,500 calories per day. So, in 36 days, a male rider would burn approximately 234,000 calories during his ride; a female around 162,000!

Something to plan for next summer?
