I've just started riding my bike on some wooded trails and forestry roads. These are hilly routes - some stretches I'm working hard but not covering much distance, others I'm flying along downhill with little effort. Just using "time spent" doesn't seem a good way to determine calories burned, but using distance via GPS isn't either due to the hilly terrain. What's my best option?
