Hello folks! very Happy to say that I achieved my highest elevation of my cycling "career" today!!According to Strava its 2,917 ft of elevation gain but according to runkeeper its 3,040ft so I'll just say 3,000 ft of elevation gain, with a continuous grade of 6% to 6.5% and with a peak of 10.5% grade. Again according to strava its a CAT 4 ascent whatever that means. My plan was just do my normal extended downhill and uphill climb but I just told myself "let me see how far can I climb, but before I knew it I was already at the point of no return in my climb which mean I'm already up here why not just suck-it up and go for it!!..I was kinda a little worried during my ascent because its starting to rain and I don't really want to descent in the rain but what the heck I said I'll just be careful on the downhill. My max speed was only 37.5 mph because i was on my breaks most my descent, and yes I learned something today to, going at that speed the raindrops HURTS! and its is freaking cold!!..Anyway I know most of you guys probably do this kind of climb everyday of the week but for me I'm stoked!!..So what is your highest elevation gain of your cycling "career"??..some screen shots of Strava and some pics of my bike in the open road at the top..
