Default Looking for a calculator...

Hello all! It has been forever since I last visited this wonderful site and I am here to ask if any of you know of the website that had a calorie calculator for cycling calories. I used to have it bookmarked, but that was on my old computer and I'm having a very hard time finding it again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!!

I found it! Sorry, I'm not sure how to delete a post. If anyone is interested, it's on freediet.com.

Thanks again!

If you can spare the money I highly recommend a heart rate monitor (Chest strap). That will give you the most accurate readings.

Also don't forget to minus out your resting metabolic rate. For example if you work out for an hour and the HRM says you burned 470. You would, in reality, burned 400 extra calories as that 70 you would have burned sitting on the couch.

+1 to getting a heart rate monitor. I've found the online calculators to be way off in one direction or another. There's just too many variables - gender, height, weight, age, average/highest heart rate - to get a one-size-fits-all calorie burn.
