This thread is just wrong.
I rode 50 miles just now (actually it took a few hours, my average speed isn't quite that high) and as I was pedaling back I stopped by the Starbucks and got a venti mocha Java chip Frappachino. Probably 800 calories of pure bliss. Maybe more. I don't care. I ride to eat. More mileage = more calories without having to order new clothing.
