Riding 10 miles twice a day will burn about 1000 calories a day, depending on how hard you push yourself. If you don't change your eating habits (and keep doing whatever other exercise you've been doing), you'd lose about 2.5 pounds per week. But if you don't change your eating habits, you'll be hungry a lot and will probably feel weak when you ride. At least, that's been my experience.
