Buy a power meter and find out.
At roughly 270 lbs., mine tells me I burn on average about 600-800 calories an hour depending on the intensity of the ride. When I used to go do training rides with the racers, it was almost 1,000 calories an hour. Nowadays, I'm probably closer to the 600-700 average most rides as I don't push that hard anymore.
This is a good thing to know when trying to lose weight.
