    You only need to hit about 16,ooo' every day, including today, for the remainder of the year to make your goal. Now, get out there!!!

    It's a lot easier if you think about it as an 8000' effort from 6 AM until noon, then an hour for lunch, and another 8000' ride from 1 PM until 7. It's a good way to cycle your riding lights!

    After today's ride I'm 5,201 feet shy of 500k feet. My luck I'll get 5,200 and be a foot short.

    I'm sure you'll easily surpass it. Last year I realized it was within reach and it took till Dec 30th but I made it happen.

    Not bad at all for a Saturday warrior who sometimes bounces off trees and takes a few involuntary time outs:confused:. Glad I could be there for most it.

    Thanks Buddy! And you were there for most of it!
    I can at least say it was quite an improvement over last year...
    Um... quoting STRAVA again:

    Jump up in the air while your phone is in your pocket and Strava is turned on. Or run up a flight of stairs, just to be sure.

    Are you ready for these numbers, IMTBers? Brace yourself.

    My abacus computes -

    126,700' for the year.
    65 rides
    I don't know how many miles. Probably around 850.

    All that, without STRAVA!

    Probably the lowest stats of anyone on this forum who was not injured. And my wife thinks I ride a lot!

    So since I KNOW you do not have an Abacus, my spidey senses tells me you may not use STRAVA but do use simply another data collection App... right?

    Runtastic. It captures mileage, elevation and total time. That's about it. No comparisons to prior rides. No comparisons to other riders. No medals, attaboys or competitive prompts.

    You would have to ride 100 Floops. That's only like 100 hours. You can do it there's still time!

    One thing to do... I've been using Veloviewer for the past year. It's a geek's treasure trove, but it's also made it obvious when Strava messes up the numbers. Three times this year, the monthly totals from Strava were off. The "refresh data" button on the profile page forces Strava to recalculate everything.

    I climbed 7000’ yesterday.

    See, cuz I’m in Cedar City UT at the moment, and it’s at about 7000’ so...

    Heading for Vail. Have fun with your last minute “gotta meet my goals” rides! No ER visits please.
