lol, I get an avg of 92 ft on a 27 loop where we just moved to, @John_V isn't much better, Looks like you and @newleaf150 have a little work ahead of you
My climbing total for yesterday’s 63 mile ride was a whopping 10 feet. My Memorial Day Ride, going over a few bridges, was 377 feet over 41 miles. I don’t think I’ll be much help in this challenge. The best help I can do is to post in October for the C2C ride. All three days added together would equal a normal day for you guys.
It is funny as I joined a Strava club for the same area as the MBA (in signature) and I see these huge elevation total's. I'm thinking "wow, these folk's do hill rep's!", but then I rode once in Road Grand Tours and I jumped to third place.
I have to search for hill's around here! I'll probably add total's monthly to lessen the work load.
I think I need a Garmin for that. I post the same ride using my iPhone app and the people with the Garmin have twice the elevation. They must measure going up and down both.
I have had good luck with the RideWith GPS app for this reason: civilian GPS, whether it's in your phone, a device, or otherwise, will tell you where you are on the surface of the planet. Thanks to security concerns, altitude measurements come not from satellites but from barometric pressure.
I understand a number of tracking apps including RWGPS overcome this by overlaying your GPS track on a detailed topographical map in order find your actual ascent and descent numbers. I imagine Garmin's offering might be similar, but I don't know for sure.
John, I just watched a video of a guy travelling about 3,000 miles in 90 days. His total climbing was a tad over 240,000 feet. He did show a bit of hike a bike.
