So the end of the year is nearly upon us, for 2013, I've covered 5800 miles and climbed 118,000 feet, so my annual average elevation is 20.5ft per mile, what's yours? ....I live in Cambridgeshire; it's flat!

    Distance: 4,531.15 mi
    Elevation Gain: 72,245 m - 237024 feet - or 52' per mile.

    so far ...

    Anyway - my goal for this year was 4000 miles - so happy with the target exceeded ... :) It's over 1000 miles more than I did last year. 2500 miles have been on my CX - although I think most of that has been on thin slick tyres - it's only the winter where I have wider tyres on ...

    44.8 for me in Hampshire, mainly riding around the South Downs. Also quite a bit of turbo mileage included in that to bring it down a bit.

    About 55 feet per mile - mainly that low due to the commuting.

    Total so far is about 11,500 miles and 630,000 feet.

    Slightly more climbing than Chris Bass in a bit more than half the mileage! :lol:
    Faster than a tent.......

    A metric that caught my eye, so ran the numbers, and conversations (sorry I'm metric) based on my Garmin and get:-

    118,146ft (36011m) over 1,241.6 miles (1,998.1km)

    So I get 95.2ft/ mile or 18m/ km

    That's Hong Kong island for you. But no more this year as I am in transit to Malaysia, so new routes for 2014 :-)
