[Closed] How much climbing have you done this year to date?

Wouldn't believe any figure from any of those online app things. From a previous thread ages back, endomondo smooths things out a bit, everytrail just takes all the vertical differences between adjacent data points, and strava "made up" some altitude from somewhere (no clue where, because it wasn't in the raw gps file).

So my figure claims to be 30567m so call that somewhere between 15000m and 60000m and subtract whatever the altitude gain of about 45km worth of chairlifts would be.

245,000ft over 7,200 miles which is quite poor, but then I do live in the alps of London

Edit: Radogair, kudos indeed, 1m ft would be a good target!

Also a bit shocked, done 82304m since I bought my GPS in April. But I do live in Wales so it's difficult to avoid a bit of climbing! 😉

In old money, 615,000ft (barometric GPS, not smartphone), a bit over 8000miles. About 75/25 road/MTB.

162,526 ft, 1596 miles.
Around 101 ft per mile. 🙂

Very flat around here, apart from a week of riding in the Himalayas of course!

Count: 207 Activities
Distance: 6,689.72 km
Elevation Gain: 47,990 m

Cheers, Rich

257,057ft. No hills in the South...

166,285 metres so far. Off to Spain on Friday for a month of riding so that should bump up a fair bit too.

just in the interest of bringing the averages back down to earth a bit..

YEAR-TO-DATE
Distance 218.2mi
Time 32hr 3m
Elev Gain 24,613ft
Rides 13

I only joined in August and these figures should triple or quadruple once yunki Jr MkII starts sleeping through the night..

no sneaky roadbike miles there either BTW..

Easier to do more climbing on the MTB I find, road bike miles detract!

Found the previous thread, so based on my previous experiment of accuracy and trying to work out wtf online GPS apps do to data:

30567m == figure that endomondo reckons
73908m == estimate of what Garmin and Everytrail might report ( = max. possible figure from raw GPX data)
103106m == likely figure that Strava might report

Maybe I should go back to Strava 😉

(minus the amount of altitude gained due to Morzine lifts)

My Garmin [500] and Strava pretty much correlates, ~5% difference

143664m or 471339ft that's living in the Lakes for you.

143664m or 471339ft that's living in the Lakes for you.

Yeah but surely you've pushed most of that right 😉 😛

hmm well since mid may have only climbed 20525m, thats only for rides i use the garmin for. Must try harder.

Total so far probably less than 50 miles on the road

Count: 70 Activities
Distance: 921,87 mi
Time: 123:54:57 h:m:s
Elevation Gain: 760.682 ft
Avg Speed: 7,4 mph
Calories: 146.743 C
Avg Distance: 13,17 mi
Max Speed: 3.071,4 mph

That was a mother of a decent to hit that max speed 🙂
Looks like my garmin is lying to me

Mark Weir (ex santa cruz and now cannondale) rode 1,040,000ft in 11 months in 2007(he got married and so missed a months riding)
820,00ft off road on his VP Free or nomad and 220,000ft the road.

159,606ft but not been able to ride much the past few months due to my mum being ill. Back on it big style from tomorrow though.

Elev Gain 60,366m

78000 feet in about 2400 miles. I've got another 100 miles and maybe 5000 feet to upload from last week.

Not ridden as much as I'd hoped due to being clobbered by a driver in May.

Count: 106 Activities
Distance: 2,204.35 mi

Elevation Gain: 74,536 m

Max Speed: 162.2 mph
Max Distance: 100.38 mi

I hope the Elevation is more accurate than the Max Speed !!!

I have absolutely no idea ) I have a fair idea of hours on the bike but that's all.

Total elevation gain includes all those little rollers on the road / trail doesn't it.
Earlier last yearI was 'training' for a big Alpine 3-day road ride and used a local 100+ mile / 2700m loop as a regular benchmarker. I looked up what the all the medium/large climbs added up to and it was only an alpine col's worth, about 1100-1200m. The rest was just rises in the road, many of which you can roll most of, or power up in the big ring using momentum of the downslope before it - they may wear you down but they're not 'climbs' in my mind )

However

Nov/Dec going to be feet up months post hernia op

79,000m to date this year
Biggest climb 1588m
Biggest MTB ride 221km
Biggest road ride 211km

Nov/Dec off the bike (hernia op)

79,342m to date this year

or in old school

260,308 ft

Not bad I thought.....

56624m since April - All off road. Rather chuffed 🙂

23.497m = 77,089ft in a lowly 77 rides 🙂

Usual excuses apply.
