You tell me. I don't think there is any more frustrating topic then attempting to describe the difficulty of a ride. Just so you realize, bikely gave the elevation on the Charm and Grace ride as 4200 total. Wow! That is less than half of what NR's total was. So you tell me- was the ride a 4200 foot ride? (low climbing for a century) or was it a 9500 foot ride? (lots of climbing for a century)

Not sure how NR plugged in the roughed out 2nd half of my ride, but it is not giving any elevation data. Bikely gives the first 40 miles as 2800 feet. It felt very "medium" to me when I rode it, but I don't have the slightest idea of how that translates.

The more I talk in circles about this, the more I convince myself to change to "easy", "moderate" and "hard" and that's it.
