I've only ever looked at cal/hour - on shorter, more spirited rides, I'm right around 1000/hour. Longer endurance rides, more like 800/hour. Looks like I'm at about 50/mile. I assume that you see your lower figures on the 'bents?
I don't think that I've ever had a calorie data field on my GPS. I don't know if I have one available.
