Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.

Did this ride yesterday with my mate James. It's a decent ride but be wary that it goes through some extremely busy urban areas traffic-wise and that some of the roads in Manchester are in terrible condition, I was on a road bike but a mountain bike would be better. The bit between Wilmslow and hale is pretty gorgeous British countryisde though.
Warning: The route above shows the ride going down the A34. This is a major arterial road and you do NOT want to do it on a bike. I edited the route and took it down Parrs Wood Road which parallels the A34.
