To calculate your Maximum heart rate, apply this formula:

Heart rate max = 208 - 0.7 x age

Although this formula is an estimate of your real Max Heart Rate (might be 10-20 beats per second more or less) it's very close with only a small margin of error. Your heart rate is actually a measure of your exercise intensity, and not only that, your maximum heart
rate differs in different activities.

There are many factors which affect your heart rate: Your body position on a bike will influence Heart Rate, Temperature (This will greatly influence your heart rate), humidity, and also the time of day (day or night) might influence your heart Rate.

I'd recommend you to hit a target heart rate of 60-70% of your maximum heart rate, this may sound a lot but in reality this will help you burn more calories and is of medium intensity by the type of vigorous activities you must do in order to keep your heart at that rate.
Remember that as your heart rate begins to go up, oxygen consumption of the blood goes up so you'll need to breathe quickly and heavily.
