Most calories burned at one time?

According to HRM only.

Mine was a century (100 mile) ride that I did back in July of this year. I was only able to finish 75 miles of the ride but I burned 3500 calories in 5 or 6 hours.
I think there was 2 reasons I couldn't finish: 1. I was just starting out cycling and didn't have the stamina yet - 2. I didn't take in nearly enough calories to sustain that kind of cardio.

What was your highest?

    I don't remember the exact number, but it was in the neighborhood of 4250. A half ironman race last summer.

    I cannot remember the exact number, but I know I've burned a good 2000-3000 in one sitting, back in my cycling days. I rode for 4 hours one time non-stop.

    Those are good memories.

    For the OP: Use this book to train for longer bike rides. If you follow it, you'll be able to do a century no problem next year!

    My highest was upwards of 6000.... I was a bit heavier and ran my first half marathon, and also had to help my mom move that day... I wore my body bugg all day,... at the end of the day it was I think over 6000

    I wear my BodyMedia when I go backpacking. Sometimes I hike for 8 hours, carrying a 35+ pound pack, and cover more than 20 miles of mountainous terrain. My highest calorie burn was over 5000 calories on one of those trips.

    Mine is 3500 close to 7000 for the weekend. The first weekend of June for the last 8 years, I have cycled in a Fundraiser for MS, called the MS150. 75 miles each day. One year I did 100, the first day and 75 the second. May try that again this year.

    Cool. I appreciate that.
    I have almost a full year of riding under my belt now and I have improved 100%.
    I'll check the book out though.

    Back when I used to bike ride a lot, I'd burn around 1200 kcal (according to my Polar HRM) on a 35 mile ride.
