Not really. All it takes just getting hungry. It is very easy to eat a lot
of calories in a very short amount of time, much less time than it takes to
do a 150-mile ride. And if you know you're going to be riding, there is a
tendency to eat in preparation, since on these kinds of rides you definitely
don't want to "bonk".

And you can consume that amount of calories you burn in a couple hours of
running in less than a minute.
