It's a Trek FX1, and I've been pretty much riding every chance I get. I'm already looking toward a road or endurance bike for next season, but I'm going to enjoy my hybrid for the rest of this year

Probably Strava guesstimated that calorie count. If it's being calculated out of heart rate for example, it's not quite accurate. If it's calculated out of distance and their weight, might also be off.

I see cadence but no power meter so I wouldn't count on those calories being correct.

I'm 155lbs and in about 2 hours at 17mph it was a little over 800 calories on Zwift using the trainer.

Yeah, that makes sense, thanks!
