My August goal is 25,000'. Of course, this is somewhat dependent on the weather, because if it gets really hot, then all bets are off! This upcoming Saturday, I plan to ride 50 miles here locally with about 4,000' of climbing. That may not sound like much to some, but it's a bit daunting for me!

Jeez it sounds like a lot when the numbers are in feet. Well, I suppose it still is a lot of climbing in a month, but I really did think Trekhawk was saying she was going to climb twenty-two thousand metres in August for a second there.
Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

LOL - now that would be a lot of climbing for this sloth. Its funny you should mention the metres/feet thing. For ages I didn't realize my computer was reading my climbing in metres (I have it set for metric so I should have known Originally Posted by DirtDiva

Lets just say I was pretty depressed with my climbing numbers. I felt much happier when I realized it was in metres. After converting the numbers to feet it sounded a little better.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Jo, thank you SO much for your exuberance (sp?)! It is so fun to have people to celebrate with...people who actually ride, themselves, so they KNOW what I mean! Yippee! Thank you!"The best rides are the ones where you bite off much more than you can chew, and live through it." ~ Doug Bradbury

Yee - ha!!!
Way to go Starfish! (And Jo who did a heckuvajob on a tough ride on Saturday!)
I'm at about 8000 for August and resting for a bit. Have to exorcise the @ss thetans. (See the Marin Century thread in "California" if you really want to know.) Plus, I popped my ankle out last night (duh - klutz in clogs). So I am definitely off the bike for at least a week.Sarah

That's a pretty healthy proportion of climbing. How did it go? Originally Posted by sara
