Started testing myself for it today...
First attempt is lame, but not tragic - 6:29 min.
Hoping to get under 6 on the actual race.

Spinning the Bike :)
The first officially recorded spin - two loops of Prospect Park and change.
Click to enlarge. Garmin Connect details are here. Is a 4 min/mi average good or bad? I bet it is quite bad... but not bad enough for a second ride :)

Some reading on performace and calories...
A simple calculator (for which I am doubtful):
Has some formulas that I will have to check more closely in other places.
Seems like VO2max is an important parameter in how one burns calories...
http://www.brianmac.co.uk/vo2max.htm#vo2 seems like a nice in-depth discussion.

I got my first bike today... Specialized Allez Compact 2009! Took it for a spin in Prospect Park and wow! Seasoned riders will probably laugh at me, but keep in mind - this is my first ever ride on a road bike! It seems almost certain that I will get addicted. And of course after Sunday's hike my GPS was dead, so no stats...
