I made my goal of 40,000 Motionbased ft.

Of course I don't know how many actual feet that is, probably 30,000 or so. The ride I did yesterday had 5,500 feet of climbing and Motionbased gave it 8,900. That was canyon riding, though, the readings seem more accurate on the flatter city roads I spend a lot of time on.

I was really happy yesterday (full account in the July 28th rides post), I figured that I'd be crying at the end of the ride but I felt like I could keep climbing when I got to the descent. Yippee!

I got invited on a several-night self-supported ride in September that includes riding Trail Ridge Road ... so I guess I'm glad to be feeling good about 'hills'!
