Not that I count calories inbut you know I'm a data geek, and I need to know how accurate my Garmin Forerunner's calorie counts are. 1700 calories for a 2-hour ride seems like an awful lot, especially when the claimed expenditure for a 1-hour run is only around 500. I know the software takes into account HR and speed, not sure what else (if anything). Anybody have any idea if these are really in the ballpark?
ETA: maybe I'm wrong and it doesn't take HR into account, in which case it's probably totally off.
