Pro 3883 Woodstock,GA | Subject: RE: Tour de France calorie burn Not to dispute CNN (we all know that they NEVER get anything wrong!!) but I have read in several places that the TDF guys burn 9,000 calories per day. I however have no data that I can cut and paste here to support this so I could be wrong......( Just call me Dan Rather) |

Giver 18427 | Subject: RE: Tour de France calorie burn 9000 calories is a lot, esp. since they're "only" on the bike 5-6 hours a day, and most of that effort is relatively light, baring climbs and breaks. Most of the riding is done cruising in the peolton, conserving energy.

Giver 18427 | Subject: RE: Tour de France calorie burn Ahhh...9000 max. That makes more sense. Like on a 220km day with three Cat. 1 climbs and a couple of HCs...

Pro 3883 Woodstock,GA | Subject: RE: Tour de France calorie burn Exactly....and that is probably for Maggie Backstedt or Big George Hincapie.....those midgets that climb probably couldn't physically hold 9,000 calories. |
