My numbers include 400km-ish winter and spring road riding but I should hit my 1000km off road goal this year as long as fall and early winter are good weather-wise.
Elev Gain : Distance Ratio is under 10m:1km since we spent 3 weeks cycle touring in the Netherlands, NW Germany, and Denmark. Only one day in Denmark was comparable to a day of riding (road) here in terms of elevation gain. Head winds were another story, though.
That’s an insane amount of climbing, @tossedsalad! Just incredible.
This is going to be my best year in the saddle in all of my 42 years, but I suspect I’ll fall a little short of my 6,000 km goal unless I get a bunch more road rides in on the weekends between now and New Year’s Eve.
