You probably need to divide these numbers by 2. Power meters are supposed to be relatively accurate at measuring calories burned. When I got mine, I noticed the numbers I got from it were around half what I got from every other HRM and website I tried.

What sort of calorie burn are you expecting from these rides? I'm around 170lbs and burn a power meter-reported 550 calories/hr when averaging 16-17mph on a relatively flat route. Longer than an hour and I have to pace myself more, so my calorie burn drops to around 475-500/hr.
