I just looked at my totals for this month and it's not the total mileage that blows me away. It's the elevation gain. I count trainer miles because I figure time on the bike is time on the bike and if I'm going dizzy from the anaerobic interval abuse, it counts. Anyway, only 307.81 miles so far but 9,670 ft of climbing! Wahoo!

I have many, many long rides right out my door that don't involve more climbing than a freeway bridge so this just blows me away! I had no idea how it was stacking up. I would guess that my normal total would be around the 3 to 4,000 ft gain because of the mtb rides. Let’s hope it pays off this weekend.
