That is awesome. It has been my impression that the Strava elevation numbers are pretty over-inflated. Almost everyone claims more elevation gain than I do on group rides. Interesting to note that even my conservative numbers are probably quite inflated.

I have been riding along a cliff on Catalina Island & had my Garmin track show me as being in the ocean for parts of the ride. That was pretty amusing. I should go back & look at elevation gain data from that one, because there's probably 100 vertical feet difference between where I actually was and where my Garmin thought I was. Although I'm pretty sure my elevation gain data is all barometric data from the Garmin unit itself.

Interesting. But again: I don't really care that much.
