Alright well, and this is a ROUGH estimate, I would assume as a safe average that you would be doing about 50-60 calories per mile if it is hilly. If not then it could be less, could be as little as 30-40 calories per mile. So take that into consideration.
I would say low burn scenario you are likely looking at 400 calories for that ride. High burn it could be 700. So pick a number based on that calucation and then bump up your calories by that number.
Meaning if you think it will be roughly 400 calories burned then bump it up to 1644 instead of 1244. Etc.
For the record I don't recommend making changes like that just anytime. However, something like an aggressive bike ride, run, or really overly aggressive activity that you aren't used to, that is a safe way to logically up your caloric intake to still fit within your means. Add only the time of aggressive activity to your maintenance equation for calorie bump.
