Calories burnt while riding: self proclaimed lab rat for scientific testing

Hi guys,

Im curentley doing a piece (article) for a magazine on the health and fitness benefits of adventure riding, and as part of my research I need some scientific information,
now since I did email Honda's dakar team in europe to ask them if they had any information that they could spare for me training regeimes, calories burnt etc alas Africa is a scary place and I have not heard back from them as of yet.
So I have taken it apon myself to be a guienea pig of sorts and am thus straping a heart rate monitor to myself and a buddy of mine next weekend and going for a ride in the hope of some scientific and here I use the term losely data.

If you guys have any other info that you think will be usefull please dont hesitate to pm me or something
