There's really no telling, as it's all down to how hard you're working. I'd probably use up 250-350 cal on a 5 mile ride, if I ride hard.

Answer:

Each style of biking and bike type has its own calorie requirement. A racing bike at over 20 mph can get you up to 1088 cal/hr. or +200 calories in 5 miles .(That's 5 cans of coke worth per hour) Vist the Link to chose the style and bike that best describes your status.
