Climbing Club - July Goals

[onimity]

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'!

For July I decreased my goal because June was the big month. I still outdid my goal by 29%! Only a puny 15,529 ft but that's better than the 12,00 I targeted -- and it's all altimeter measured so I feel pretty good about the number.

I'm feeling pretty positive that I'll make my yearly goal but not counting any chickens yet.

I got in a bit over 30,000 feet, as I had hoped.

Oooh, and I'm up to about 160,000 for the year. Booyah!

32,111. About 10k more than I expected. Probably due to all that crazy mountain biking.

[SadieKate]

Yeah, that real riding.

I made it to 23,450'. Now I'm headed out the door to start on August!
