By net calories, do you mean you're taking in about 1805 total (1205 base + 600 from the bike ride), or are you still working with 1205 minus the amount from the bike ride? Or maybe something else? If you're getting about 1800 total, you're probably on the lower end of what might be an acceptable range (as Fatboy noted earlier).
