I took a long weekend (Thursday through Monday) and, according to my GPS, did 12,000 feet of elevation gain. Not an inch of it was on my bike, but I climbed about 1,000 vertical feet of the Sahale Glacier.

Camping at 8,000 feet at the foot of a glacier, you've really got to bring more than you think you'll need.

575miles and 13,500 feet of climbing. Did a century this week and one last week. That's a first for me. Doubt I can do one a week but fun to have done two this summer. Did 23,572 feet of climbing in April when I was in Denali Park for several rides.

Dang - nice work digibud!
For me so far this month - 299.8 miles and 13,202 feet.
It's too bad we're doing our Clyde ride to the Mt Baldy Village on 9/1 or I could probably get to 20k feet for the first time ever. I hear there's a club.
