how many calories burnt,

you'll need it to do heart rate monitoring also then. Personally I wouldn't bother with this aspect 🙂

Calories based on weight and speed alone doesn't take into account the effort you are putting in due to headwind, clagginess of the trail you're riding, gradient, knobbly tyres vs. road bike. Heart rate is needed for any accuracy.

They had some cheap brytons on Rutland cycles the other day which have option to add hem or cadence sensor.

£44 IIRC

SLowish delivery (but closing date is 5 days so shouldn't be too bad)

If you aren't already signed up, get a mate or someone off here (me included - email in profile 😳 ) to refer you and they'll get a little reward

(Edit - wow, rutland's price is good !)

You can just get a garmin edge 200 for £80 (halfords) trip functions, calories, + GPS. also if you have more than one bike you don't need to change any settings or have multiple fitting kits.
