That’s like climbing Mt Rainier on your bike, starting at sea level. And then adding another 1500 ft for good measure.

16,000 feet elevation at 23 mph. Unbelievable.
I'm thinking that calory estimate might be a bit on the low side.

You’re forgetting he weighs 90lbs and 70 of those are leg muscles.

I believe they burn on average 6000 per stage, and 8000 on the mountain stages. That's almost as much as I eat per day over Christmas.

Alrighty then.

Wow!! That is fantastic!!! Good job!!!

That’s not me, to be clear. That’s the current Tour de France champion on a random training ride.
No mortal is averaging 30mph on a century ride. None.
I mean, unless the whole fucking thing is downhill. A steep downhill.

I struggle to average 30mph on my drive in to work

Back in my triathlon days, I remember I would get up to 35 mph on a downhill and it felt incredibly fast and dangerous.
Another great story from 89th!

On one particularly long and steep downhill on a century run - back in the day - I was passing cars - and it was a 50 mph speed limit. I was TERRIFIED thinking that almost anything on the road or any mishap would send my splattered for a long distance. I kinda decided to avoid doing that kind of speed on hills after that. Once you're past warp 10, there's nothing to be done - even touching the brakes would be quite dangerous.
