I like riding my bike. I'm not pushing myself on to put in a fast time or holding myself back for perfect pacing, just rolling along at the speed at which my legs want to go. I don't get depressed if my pace is a bit slower than I expect. It's a quiet mellow activity that (I've found so far) I can happily do all day.
I estimate I took in about 5000 cals, but there's some guesswork there. It soon adds up when you're porking entire 250g blocks of sainsburys basics red leicester cheese. How much of that I actually digested and was able to use as fuel is another question. 90g/hour of sugar would have been 6000 cals. Strava thinks I burned 9000, but 50mg/hour of caffeine and a suspect hrm means I don't really believe it.
You went faster.
