    Hello I'm just starting with MFP.
    I have been cycling for many years and the OP's times do seem pretty fast.
    That said I also have always found calculating these things confusing.
    On the road/bike path I time myself and gave up on CPU's
    I have found that even on the best stationary bikes the computers are way off too.
    I check my heart rate the old fashion way. With a stop watch app and fingers.
    From what Ive found you can average it at 70 cal per a mile at 15 miles per hour?

    My daily ride is 15 miles in 80 minutes. Not fast at all.

    I have an old stationary bike that I ride daily for 30 minutes at a cadence of 80-90 and enough resistance to keep the cadence smooth without bouncing around on the saddle. Thar works for me. At one time I was an ultra distance cyclist and my best 24-hour distance was 271 miles, but that was 28 years ago.
