Sunday Dirt Biking

So do you want to see how I spent Sunday in my version of relaxing which happened to burn over 2000 calories? Check out these two short videos of me riding my dirt bike.

On the first video, you're waiting for me to come up out of the woods. When I come out, my buddy stops and asks me what my heart rate is after I've been riding for 15-20 minutes already at that pace; which is 183! Then when I try to start it up and get going, I look like a total goon and can't get it going again because I'm in the wrong gear since I am really tired from riding with my heart rate in the upper 170s to low 180s the whole time. Then at the very end of the video I don't do the jump because something is in the way I have to stop to pick it up…


On the second video, my buddy is filming me as I ride my dirt bike up my ramp in my truck as I am tired from riding my dirt bike after three hours and he asked me how it went and I told him I had a good time…


So I was just thinking, when I rode in the MS 150 (that's the weekend where I bike from Duluth back to my house - 165 miles) I burned 4000 calories in around eight hours; whereas I burned 2000 calories in only three hours of riding my dirt bike.

So Monday I had one of those days when I cannot eat enough! You ever have one of those days? I kinda enjoy those days ;)
