· Average riding time per day: 4 hours, 42 minutes
· Average speed: 17.1 mph
· Number of calories burned while riding: 267,277
· Average calories burned per riding day: 4,941 (or 1,051 per hour; doesn’t include non-riding activities)
· Total ascent: 133,231 feet
· Average ascent per riding day: 2,612 feet
· Total descent: 133,232 feet (The Atlantic Ocean is approximately 8 inches lower than the Pacific Ocean)

Love your photos. God's world is so beautiful and how wonderful that you were able to experience it first-hand, up close and personal. WOW!
Can you send me via e-mail the link to the bike ride program at YFC? I couldn't find it on their site.
Thanks.
