BTW, I accidentally posted this same thread in foo. Feel free to delete/ignore this one, that one, both, or neither.

So, in my quest to describe my rides to friends and family members in different states, I've became caught up in terminology. How do you quantify how hilly a ride was, or how much effort was given during a ride? I've recently been using strava, and I like it a lot. I don't have a premium account, so I can't use the suffer score, nor do I have a computer. I use the strava app, so I can see splits, climbs, segments, ect...

Questions:

How hilly would you rate this ride? http://app.strava.com/rides/9242348
Arbitrary scale of 0-5

How accurate would you say the power column is? It seems very high, but I don't have a meter of any sorts to measure with.
