To help encourage ITB to add total climb to the SCStats spreadsheet, I though it would be a nice idea if we posted our estimated ascents so far.

Not completely accurate - I changed my commute route a bit a few months back to a hillier route and I don't know exactly when but the estimate won't be far out. Rounded down on the basis of it being approximate.

So, total this year = 61,300 feet or 2.11 Mount Everests (1 Mount Everest = 29,028 feet) :lol:
46,000 feet commuting and 15,000 feet leisure.

I'm sure others will have done much better!
Faster than a tent.......

    I wish I had the actual distances, but the best I can say is normal commuting and 4 mountain passes in southern Spain.

    I luv stats me however I neither have the time or patiences to work it all out.
    Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    95%+ of my cycling is commuting so I can be pretty accurate with that.

    Plus, I have like six different routes I take, depending on the weather, time I have and my mood. :roll:

    My Garmin has recorded 118,838ft (or 22.5 verticle miles!) of climbing so far this year - with a weeks worth of climbing in the Alps to come at the end of the month which should push that up a tad!

    Over the 10 rides I made a note of I climbed approximately 59,000ft. I have no idea how much extra for the commutes and short rides I have done, similar again?
