I traced my regular ride using the BRoute of the second or third post. Looks like I've been under-estimating my distances and elevations by quite a bit (for the past 45 years - could be some big numbers!) I've been using 70.9 miles and 700 feet climbed for the rideout to and around Hagg Lake. BRoute says 79.1 miles and 2425 feet. I always knew my elevation numbers represented basically just the big climbs. I never cared about the minor upgrades and small bumps. Good to see my Thomas Guide estimates of distance are quite low. So my celebration of rolling over both odometers oon the same day two years ago, while done late, still was real. (Odometers: fixed and with a freewheel mechanism.)
