One mile is equal 1.6 km.

Calories burned cycling formula

Calories/hr = [V*W(.0053 + %G/100) + .0083(V^3)]*7.2
Watts = [V*W(.0053 + %G/100) + .0083(V^3)]*2

Where V is speed, W is bike + rider weight in pounds., and %G is grade in percent. The factors here (0.0053 for friction + rolling resistance and 0.0083 for aerodynamic drag) are not absolute but average.

Calories burned cycling 15 mph and calories burned road cycling
Riding with a speed with 15 mph is considered vigorous cycling. When you bicycle 14 to 15.9 mph, you burn 44 to 61 calories per mile on average. Longer rides with a lot of climbing burn about the same amount of calories.
