    I live at 160m ASL, climb to 235m and finish at 110m.

    What do you do? (UK commutes only please – don’t want any Alps guides showing off 😆 )

    Can you tell I’m bored?

    A few years ago I used to live at 270m (up on the Malverns) and work at 50m, about a mile away; getting to work took about 4 minutes, getting home again took 20!

    work at approximately 25 m above sealevel. Climb to 125m in 1.2 miles, then a little decent, then another 10m climb at the end, finishing at 100m up

    getting back to work is quicker 🙂

    My total ascent/descent is no more than about 40m but most of that is over bridges.

    About 570ft (173m)in 5 miles. Easy on the way in. Slightly harder on the way back! All good training I say.

    Typically 85m of ascent followed by 85m of descent over 12pm.

    No mixing units people

    Very roughly 450m in 27km in, and then 500m in the same distance back. Over the Col de Haldon from near as dammit sea level at the Teign to sea level at the Exe. Maximum twice a week if I’m (un)lucky.
    Had a flat ride today, going part train then bike on the coastal route – 30m ascent!

    147m climb
    154m descent
    8.1km distance

    I also have a 10km version with slightly less climbing for those really tired mornings.

    Do I get a bonus point for riding it fixed?

    Or a deduction for mentioning it?!

    200m in … 8 miles … 12ish k

    Elevation gained = 197m
    Elevation lost = 173m
    Over 18km, the profile looks a bit like sharks teeth!

    Oh it’s actuall 209m not 109m.

    Impressive for a route that looks as flat as a pancake.

    135M in 4.5 miles. Most of that is concentrated into a half mile on the way in and a short 20% climb straight up through the uni campus on the way home. Followed by 3 mile descent and a draggy false flat back to the house. Nice mix of riding.
