    Hmmmm

    Very interesting. I did some checking on motion base and looked up Buckskin/ Inkom loop and indeed the elevation gain was 2592 ft over 37 miles. So my garmin is counting at least 2-3 times. So until I can figure this out can I look at the elevation at the start of your ride and the high point and figure out the difference to get a better idea? Thanks for helping me better understand and learn how the Garmin works.

    So truely my climbing for May is really around 9 to 10,000ft

    What sort of Garmin do you have?? 2 - 3 times increase is huge, and way beyond what you sometimes see with a gpos based altimeter. I wonder if there is a product problem. You should call Garmin. From what I hear, their support is very good. Even Motion Based adjusts elevations high, so if you are 2 - 3 times Motion Based, there's a real problem with your unit.
