I use Garmin and Strava and go by the highest!
They are both low for me. Medium intensity rides they are similar but Garmin gives a much lower count on gentle rides.

Lucky that you can do that. I just don't have the muscle mass for a killer burn. Nor have I developed the endurance. I'd have some cheesecake though if I thought I did!
Between the two, I find Strava to calculate a higher burn.0 -
I find the calorie counts on Strava to be ridiculously low sometimes. My latest ride is 24.4 miles in 1:45ish moving time. Strava counts that as 546 kcal, Garmin as 1228!
Harvard Medical School gives an estimate for cycling at around my speed for around my weight of 372 kcal per half hour, which equates to ~1300 for my ride, so the Garmin number is not a million miles away, and I'm happy to take that one. The Strava one is wildly off.
Allegedly, the Strava numbers are much better if you ride with a heart rate monitor, but I don't have one at the moment, so can't confirm.1 -
June I had a total of
268.8mi

Fri 01 - 4.77 miles
Mon 04 - 28.88 miles
Tue 05 - 35.33 miles. Morning ride started out intended to be a couple of miles longer than usual - a couple of navigational issues and it ended up +10 miles instead. Good ride though. Evening ride was short and direct!
Target for July: 500 miles

I don't know what to go for as far as a goal. I'm fighting a sinus infection, and the medicine the doctor gave me has a restriction of minimal exposure to the sun, and we are going on vacation at the end of the month. So I think my saddle time is going to be very limited this month. I may just ride and not have a set goal for this month.

Checking in for July. Spent the first 3 days at my favorite geek convention, and then yesterday recovering. This month's goal is cross training - bike at least 5 days a week, and then run and swim 2-3 days a week.
7/5 - 21 miles. Took the slightly shorter way home to stop at the farmer's market and managed to squeak home before the heavens open and the rain came tumbling down.
Month to date: 21 miles

Got in a long ride covering half of a trail that is about an hour car ride away (withalocoochie). Hope to cover the second half once I get a chance as the wildlife encountered along the way was pretty amazing (4 tortoises, 3 deer, 1 armadillo, 1 black snake, 2 off leash dogs, and lots of squirrels), road crossings were infrequent, and much of the trail was shaded (a nice break for Florida simmer riding).

An ill-fated ride. Strava shorted me about 4 miles on my ride down the trail. Then, my daughter's tire blew. My girls didn't feel able to walk 6.5 miles home after riding 6.5 miles out. We walked 2 miles off the trail before Grandma came to the rescue. She took my daughter and her gimpy bike home and my other daughter and I rode the rest of the way. Because of strava freezing and having to go off trail, I'm going to guestimate my distance at 12 miles (4 very long hours).

Had an great cycling day today, as three awesome things happened:
1) I managed to keep up for the entire ride (for the first time) on my Friday morning hammerfest triathlon team ride (minus one paceline fail trying to rejoin the line after pulling at 29 when the strongest rider in the crew kicked it up to 32mph w.o. wind right after me - but it was at the end of a segment before a light), and was one of the first 4 up each of the 3 climbs (out of 11 very hardcore riders).
2) My power meter arrived (Garmin Vector 2S - awesome deal from nashbar on a pedal based power meter as I think they forgot to exclude garmin products from their 4th of July weekend 25% off sale coupon code), so I installed it on my roadie as I couldn't unscrew my pedals on my tri bike, and got to test it out.
3) I went out for a mid-day 15 mile ride on my beach cruiser to pick up a bike mount kit for my watch (wasn't in stock at the store so snagged from that store's online shop/warehouse), and on the ride kept up with a real road bike (with gears) above 20mph for 5 miles of the ride (which is a bit insane given my gearing on the fixed gear beach cruiser).
All in all, it was a good biking day.
7/1 - 28 miles
