On new gravel bike. Active calories according to Garmin watch c 1320. NB: for the entire day including 6 km at start and about 10 km at end. the total of active calories was about 1830. this is interesting because last time I did this route it was at least 2200 calories when I was at around 99k. so basically this shows that even controlling for distance when I had the tires well pumped and tubeless I was able to back this amount of own of miles but with less effort.
Main difference with last time I did this trip a few weeks ago is that this time the tires were properly inflated (and had been made into tubeless), it is as not so hot, and I did not get lost so many times, so that saved time, kms, and mental tranquility. I slso seem to have taken better routes this time, for example at the start went through the Bauhaus Masters Houses ( belonging to the architects themselves?). Also wonderfully relaxing stop at makeshop gathering spots t with a little "truck" selling soft ice and excellent coffee just at the wnd of the Barby felly (when you get out on the Barby side) -- see photo.
