A Group 8th December



Jeff led a very select A Group from Dorking to Reigate, with lunch at The Gate, Ifield. 24.18 miles, carefully chosen to minimise the very evident risks of the ice and snow. Despite the conditions we managed a steady rolling average of 12 mph and burned 1,083 calories.

Should be enough for the pie - steak and stilton - just the job on a cold day.

I bet with the cold weather it was actually more calories than that!

- or does your toy include temperature in its calorie calculations?

No, it's pretty simplistic, Lisa. Speed x weight x gradient, basically, plus a couple of fudge factors, I've no doubt. So it doesn't take headwind or temperature into account.

But it's fun and attracts more interest than anything else!
