For instance the Edge 500 does, when I wear my heart rate monitor the calorie numbers are close to half what they would be with out the heart rate monitor. I highly doubt you burned 7,058 my guess would be more like 3,500 - 4,500. Not to take anything away from what you did, on the bright side theres about 3500 calories in a pound of fat so you knocked at least that off.

I just looked at my last 100 mile ride and with the heart rate monitor It claims I burned 2800, total ellapsed time was 5 hours 30 minutes.
