I did a 77 km loop on Sunday to the north. Having lots of fun with my
heart rate monitor. Anyone else use these? It calculates calories
burned. I have no idea how accurate it is but I am now thinking of
rides in terms of calories as well as time and distance. does anyone
else use these things?

The point of the ride, if one needs a point, was to discover the exact
western bits of the Elora Cataract trail. I ridden it all the way to
Cataract before but the trail disintegrates in place in Elora and
Fergus and I wanted to find each existing piece. As a goal it was
mission accomplished. Considering that Elora and Fergus are touristy
areas relying on visitors to buy in the trendy shops and bistros and
Oooh! and Ahhh! at the Elora Gorge it is a wonder they don't make
their end of the Elora Cataract trail a centerpiece. Instead it is
unimproved rail right of way and unused scrub land in many places. A
shame as at one point where it crosses the river on the rebuilt
trestle it allows for a wonderful view.

About the winds: As summer has finally arrived in that it is not
constantly raining but is still rather humid the winds are now welcome
for their convection properties.

About the return leg: Wellington Rd. 29 and 4th&5th line are now my
favourite routes back down to home. Good surfaces and not too much
traffic. Just the right amount of hills but over all a downslope.

Congratulations, 1000 calories is equal to 5 original Krispy Kreme
glazed donuts! A great way to end a great ride. Enjoy...

I do a lot of fairly long rides without even eating breakfast but I stay
within 4 or 5 miles of the house in case of an oncoming bonk.

A "fairly long ride", but within 4 or 5 miles of the house... Hmmmm, what
do you do, ride laps around the neighborhood? LOL! By the way, what
exactly is an "oncoming bonk"?

I can go
about 2 hours before my reserves are used up and I do lose weight that
way but long trips are out. Sometimes I recover by the afternoon and do
it again, combining a fasting day with a calorie burning day. I lost so
much weight about 4 years ago my wife said I looked like a POW and
demanded I gain weight.

Yeah, that's a great way to lose weight, Bill. Real healthy. Yeah.

I felt great but managed to wear her jeans by mistake, and that just set
her off ballistic.

I keep thinking you can't say anything more stupid than you already have,
but you just keep surprising me.

The guy is a loony. He corrupts the technical/sw groups too.

I do rides around the neighborhood on a 6 mile loop that never gets me
more than 3 miles from home, so I can take a ****, eat, or rest up.
It takes time for your liver to get the message to start converting body
fat to sugar for energy. Basic body chemistry. An oncoming bonk is to me
when I drop from 16-18 MPH to 8-10 MPH as in no reserves left.

I can go
about 2 hours before my reserves are used up and I do lose weight that
way but long trips are out. Sometimes I recover by the afternoon and do
it again, combining a fasting day with a calorie burning day. I lost so

Yeah, that's a great way to lose weight, Bill. Real healthy. Yeah.

It works and the result is I feel great. I eat lots of steamed chicken
breasts and fish for protein after working out like this.

I felt great but managed to wear her jeans by mistake, and that just set
her off ballistic.

I keep thinking you can't say anything more stupid than you already have,

I got down to a 29" waist that year, so it did happen, but the neighbors
thought I had cancer or was doing drugs so I gained weight to shut
everybody up.
Simple.

Yeah, I know. He claims to use Linux, and sometimes tries to dispense
Linux advice in other newsgroups. Luckily, folks like me know enough to
be able to correct his misguided ramblings. A complete nutcase, for
sure. It is funny to pick apart his lies and tall tales, though.
