routinely do hill repeat repeats that add about 20 minutes to a 17-19 minute ride.
~430ish calories for the 37-39 minute ride and ~225 for the total elevation gain (25 calories per 100 feet gain per hour). my total distance is probably closer to 6 miles. i never bother to set my computer but i always count my repeats...
