Nairobi, Kenya To Masaka, Uganda Dec '15-Jan '16
Road from Eldama Ravine to El Doret.
Lots of climbing (this is where marathon runners do their high altitude training!) but some beautiful views & relatively peaceful riding, in terms of traffic.
Road from Suam (Kenyan/Ugandan border - idyllic border crossing, grim border town/village) to Kapchorwa. Breathtaking views & super peaceful roads.
Looooots of hills though & pretty terrible road, not a hint of tarmac anywhere and someplaces not much more than rock.
Plus quite a long day for me, distance & time wise, lots of pushing bike up hills (NB i am a 43 year old, smoking, lazy cyclist carrying far too much useless rubbish).
Ride down from Kapchorwa, past Sipi Falls towards Mbale was great - tore down that like a bat out of hell!! but, for all my moaning about the long day reaching there, I'm definitely glad I didn't do this bit in reverse. Climbing up from direction of Mbale to the Sipi Falls would probably kill me or, at the very least, reduce me to tears.
About the Calorie Calculator
Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
