Way to use Mapmyride.com to find calorie burn?
I've been searching, because I assume it exist, for a way to find out how many calories I've burnt off each ride. The site is able to see the elevation of each section and then it has a calorie burnt calculator, so I was hoping I could use them together. If not, is there another site that allows me to do that?

40 calories per mile. Maybe a little more if you weigh more than 200 pounds. That is about as accurate as any on-line calorie calculator.

Not sure about the "new" version, but if you go to https://classic.mapmyride.com when you log a workout (time, distance, weight) it will tell you how many calories you burnt. I'm ~212 and I burn ~50 calories per mile riding, ~150 calories per mile running.

When I do hard rides my hr says I burnt more than MMR says, and vic-versa when I ride easy.

But wouldn't you lose more if there were crazier climbs all over compared to some of the more mellow ones or even just flat city?
EDIT: Should have read the post above.

You could try ridewithgps.com. If you record HR during a ride it will estimate your calories burned. It's reasonably accurate on shorter rides but becomes less accurate on longer rides if you get a little dehydrated and your HR goes up. For example it was 8% high on a 40min crit race and 20% high on a 4 hr training ride.

But you do more mile on faster rides, so it averages out. Long climbs do need more calories per mile, but I do not know of an on-line calorie calculator that does a good job with elevation gain.

30-35 per mile pending actual effort level. At least, that's what I found when I was really focused on counting calories.
