approx 375m a week, or a bit less than the average trail centre climb, to put it another way. 🙂

Just shy of 190,000 ft, mostly on the MTBs too.

Well I've got 158k in Strava and I've logged almost every ride I've done except the Wales Coast to Coast which adds over 35k…

Edit: 59,000m

Strava says 66691M, or 218,800ft. That's not bad!

Might try and break 250,000 by the end of the year!

That's what I was thinking as well. A lot of effort by some people.
More depressing personally is that my paltry 16000 odd metres includes the road bike.

That's what I was thinking as well. A lot of effort by some people.

To be fair, for the first half of the year I was riding on average 4 times a week and from the spring onwards 5-6 times a week (I have a commute where I can take in trails). So aside from a few big training rides, some endurance solos (12hr type things)/cx sportive/marathons, oh and the WC2C, none of my individual rides are overtly massive.

Hardly any. I don't ride XC any more, push up on DH stuff or get the uplift and I live in the East Midlands so all my road riding is pretty flat. I did Snowdon and some trail centres in March.

From garmin connect

Distance:
9,264.99 mi
Time:
533:49:46 h:m:s
Elevation Gain:
638,186 ft

638,000ft climbing. This is since end of January, got garmin on 20th January and also misses out 3 weeks where garmin broke in June so sent away to get fixed. This included Glentress 7 so all in all about 1000 miles in 3 weeks, so about an extra 70000ft on top of that. Might crack the 1 million feet barrier 🙂

100000ft ish, but I only ride once a week or so on average, so I imagine one would do more without much effort.

Distance 2,352.5km
Time 138hr 27m
Elev Gain 56,124m
Rides 79

Average of 710.5 metres of climbing per ride.

Have I really only been on 79 rides this year? 😐 Defo need to get out more.

Actually, I got the Garmin towards the end of January, so add on 5/6 rides of about 20-30km each to that.

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! 😉

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..

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)

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

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

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.
I don't care what that's made up of, it's a huge total..
