    That's great, I'm happy for you!

    I don't know how many calories it burns offhand but it is listed in the Exercise Database.

    Enjoy!

    Depends on your heart rate. I did ten miles this morning with my HRM on and I burned 375 calories. My ride was mostly flat, a couple hills that got iHR going and I rode avg 13 mph. There have been some days that I really pushed myself and burned more than that in the same amount of time. It is all relative to getting that heart rate up.
