Patella fractures interfere with climbing stats.

Strava says 354,347 feet. 6216 miles. Legit numbers, no trainer or ebike. Rode my age on my birthday (72) but did not get in a century this year.:o

I live on the easternshore of Delaware. It is about as flat as can be. My highest point to ride is the Indian River inlet bridge, about 50 ft. above sea level. I go over that and back maybe 2 times a week. Other than that, we are talking about 16 feet above sea level. I may have reached a mile in elevation gain for the whole year. I have not been more than 40 miles away from home in 2021, by any means of transportation. Good grief, my world has gotten small.

Ain't that the truth! Without a commute to take up five days a week, my other "I can ride that far from home and back" routes seem to be getting a bit stale.

Strava says I climbed 220,000 feet, but I need to get 2,000 feet from my latest ride on there.

Data = 0, Clear Handlebars = +1





clear your handlebars and your mind will follow!

137,106 feet with 34,000 feet during my 3 week cycling trip to Croatia, Italy and Greece in October.

I wish I had some hill climbing to do near by. It's kind of funny, I have had numerous riders tell me they ride in hills all the time where they live, but here on the flatland where I live, their legs get tired because they never stop pedaling and are not used to that. Also gripes about the wind. Everybody has their perspective. I know when I am somewhere with hills, I might cuss the climbs a bit, but I sure do like the downhill ride.

According to Strava, I climbed 209,936 feet. Considering that I live in pan-flat Illinois, I feel pretty good.

224,642 ft. last year’s total was double that.

This is the first year I've owned a GPS cyclometer, so it's the first year that I get to participate in this particular end-of-year pissing contest, yay! According to RideWithGPS I climbed 219,848' in 2021 ...but I still expect to put in another week's worth of riding before 2022, presuming the weather cooperates.

226,000’ as of today in real life and Zwift.

11,300+ ft in 5,300+ miles via STRAVA

I live in central Oklahoma and like several others here have not strayed too far from home this year. Its' pretty flat here, but not pancake flat. 2430 miles, 82,221 feet elevation gain. With the exception of one 75-mile ride near Tulsa, all of that is starting and ending at my house.

Kind of a disappointing year for me on outside rides this year:
79,297ft on 1817.2 miles (69 rides).

243k feet on 5,500 miles real world.

72k of that climbing was in six days of riding between August 21st and 31st, over 1,150 miles. That was a tough ten days. EDIT: Actually 4 of those days I'd describe as tough, and 2 as brutal. The rest days were bliss.

240,564. Slightly under last year. Rain has stopped us for the past week; I needed about 14k more. But hit my highest mileage, being a tad over last year at 3364 miles. Yay!

Using RidewithGPS:

218,870 feet climbed
5020 miles

My goal for the year was 5000, which I hit yesterday by riding 52 miles in the 45º drizzle.

233,000 feet over 5,500 miles. About half my miles are flat commuting and the elevation gain is from the weekend rides in the local hills. My regular loop from home is 30 miles with 2,500 feet of climbing which adds up quickly.

Weather cooperated a little bit: I wound up with 224,813' total.

WOW. It’s amazing what percentage of 50+ year olds have exceeded 200,000’. You guys are awesome!

And those with a few less are still showing those punk kids.
