Reflections

I've just worked out a few numbers from the last couple of weeks of riding.

• I spent nearly 39 hours cycling
• I covered just shy of 600 kilometres. 
• I climbed nearly 18,000 meters vertically, which is over twice the height of Everest above sea level.
• The highest point on trip was the Cime de la Bonette, at 2802 metres above sea level
• The ride with the largest height gain, of 1,986 metres, was over the Telegraphe and the Galibier.
• I expended nearly 19,000 calories while riding.
• My maximum speed while descending, naturally, was 65 kilometres per hour.
• In total, I turned the pedals 123,940 times.
