Peanut Butter physics

With all this climbing I was joking to myself (I do that a lot) that my bike has become a machine that converts peanut butter into a bicycle at a slightly higher elevation.

So, my jar of peanut butter has 2470 food calories.  Assuming I convert that to mechanical energy with 100% efficiency (which I do), how far can I raise my bike fueled solely by one jar?

Dave + Bike = 100 kg
