Well the rides were all in the region of 80km long but with an average speed of around 28/29 km/h so hardly race pace. Each ride had somewhere between 3-4000 ft elevation gain, so pretty lumpy and I was definitely riding at pace as opposed to pootling. Which is why in my mind the figure of 3000 seems more accurate than the 300 quoted on the last of the rides. I just don't understand such a huge discrepancy
3000 calories is a lot. Like: 80km at race pace, give or take.
