Yup, the three of us are very close. Been close for the last week.

Next week I may drop down again. Need an easy week, body tired and have been very busy at work.

Have a great weekend!

I wonder who lives in the most hilly area and what kind of climbing they get up to if you look at it over a year of commuting?

 

My usual ride to work has about 110m and going home it's 480m but seeing as sometimes it's could be less I'm going with 500m per day. Today being the 160th day I am using the bike that's about 80+km of ascent so far.

I think you climb a fair bit more than me.

Never checked my altitude but think it is around 250m to 300m per day. Generally according to strava I do between 6500m and 8000m per month.

I am on almost the same climbing as you (76km) for 134 days of commuting. I do about 220m in the morning and 350m in the afternoon.

My most direct routes only gives me about 170m in the morning and 270m in the afternoon.  :mellow:

 

On the Sani2C commuting challenge I really struggled to find routes to get to the climbing requirement ... and missed it by a few 100 meters ..  :unsure:

Between Randburg and the Spruit is a ridge, and between the Spruit and Sandton is another ridge, so from home to the office I have to get up (and down) 2 ridges - same back. Riding in the Spruit itself is fairly flat, except if you're riding loops around Delta park. This morning's commute was 35 km; ascent was 548. Home this afternoon will be around 30 km and around 400m ascent.

 

Zub set up a vertical challenge a while ago, but Strava revoked the access to some of the info, so that page hasn't updated in months.

Just a question, this mornings ride please.

 

I forgot to switch Endo off after getting to my friends house and clocked 5km in the car before realising this.

 

Do you lot of riff raff mind if I keep this 5km as a replacement for all the other times my cell dropped and lost my rides?
