Climbing Club - June Goals

[Zen]

I saw Nacimiento Road mentioned here earlier and it just reminded me of a place I was stationed while in the Army. It was called Fort Hunter Liggett, in Jolon, near Paso Robles. Out in the Middle of Nowhere but it was pretty. We could go to the beach, camp in Los Padres or drive down the coast to Pismo Beach, Clam Capital of the World!.http://virtualguidebooks.com/Central...ientoRoad.html

I'm done for the month of June...no riding tomorrow cuz I'm leaving on a trip.
Trip = , No Ride =

My total for June is 25,800' (maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less...I want GPS!!!). I am very surprised with myself! My stamina is improving dramatically and the hills that seemed like monsters a month ago are now part of my normal route! Woohoo!!!!

"Crash" is home with 7 stiches from an endo that was NOT my fault and several large bruises from tumbling down a 20 foot cliff when the ground gave way beneath me. Yes really... it still gives me the willies. Details will be coming I promise. We pretty much just walked in the door.

So much for my monthly goals!

I had fewer miles this month than the last 3, but (interesting statistic) more feet climbing per mile - almost 100 feet per mile!!!

Jan: 317 miles, 17,040 feet - 53.75 feet climbed per mile ridden
Feb: 173 miles, 9,645 feet - 55.75 ft per mile
Mar: 580 miles, 31,889 ft - 54.98 ft per mile
Apr: 673 miles, 48,609 ft - 72 ft per mile
May: 568.81 miles, 33,650 feet - 59ft per mile
June: 419 miles, 39,691 feet - 94 FEET PER MILE!!!

And I was feeling all lazy the last couple of weels...

That would be Nasty Mental Road - part of the Central Coast Double.



This is the view from about two miles up it. You only have 5 more miles of climbing to the top. Of course you're only 110 miles or so into the 209 mile ride at that point.

Hey, Veronica, great to see you back (in one piece, too!). What a picture. WOW!

[Veronica]

Thanks! It was a rough vacation. Probably have write ups and pictures tomorrow.

It's a good thing that after my endo last Thursday I bought two helmets to replace my pink one. I couldn't find any vsible damage on the pink one, but I replaced it anyway - with a black one. There's definite damage though from falling down the cliff on Monday to the black one. So now I'm sporting a white helmet with a green floral design.

Motionbased says I've climbed 30,706' (so far ) this month. I realize that it's probably a bit high (I am using their gravity service). Does anyone know roughly how accurate this is? i.e., what have I really climbed?

i came up with 27,871, based on Bikely.com

Anne - I have found Motion Based to add 2-3000 feet for a 10000 foot ride. so that's what 20-30 percent increase?
