just after clarification that I'm not allowing too many cals on MFP, I have been allowing 700 cals for 1hr mountain biking (in forests not flat easy stuff) I got this figure off google. I'm male about 5'10" 13st and I ride a 45lb bike which should burn a few extra shoudn't it? so I was just after a rough idea and just to make sure I'm not allowing too many, thanks

About 600 I'd guess. Thing is that for every climb you get a rest coming down... .
