I need climbing goal linl Bentnose to add you to the list ( that's km's ).
Falling behind... yup me too . Also notice my iPhone app is ripping me off compared to guys doing the same ride as me on Garmins .

Took 23 seconds off my tollgate -> bollards time this morning (now 27:17) and within 11 seconds of my best time on Waterfall gulley road... and it was raining!
Feeling really good at the moment, times are starting to get really fast and really consistent. If I keep going like this I'm going to have to revise some of my goals for 2013!
Haven't done a really punishing long climb ride for a few weeks though. Might have to work out a crazy route for this Sunday.

Nice effort!! I believe that road is basically the worst in qld, and is the only road with a curfew for cars so that school buses can use it without any chance of meeting another vehicle (after a fatal school bus accident way back). Some of the other roads I've seen around there were super steep and scary, and I've been assured that Belthorpe Range rd is much worse, by locals who live up there at Belthorpe.singlespeedscott wrote:Finally managed to get a long ride in today. 101km with 1300m of ascent. They just re-opened the Belthorpe Range rd. after closing it due to damage from the SEQ Jan. 2011 floods. Super steep in sections. Strava reckons 35%. I don’t know if it’s that steep but there was a lot of rear wheel slip on the rain effected new surface. Definitely one of the harder climbs on the north side of Brisbane with an average of 8.3% over 4.6km.

I'm thinking i might just check that out by car before going for a ride up there...InTheWoods wrote:Nice effort!!

Hopefully June / July can make up for it... 5 days in Corsica, Maddonna del Ghisallo, Passo dello Stelvio, Galibier, Alpe D'Huez ... going to be a tough few weeks of work .

Very sorry TLL - definitely not intended mate.toolonglegs wrote:

I've got to say I'm impressed by the number of metres climbed by this group. I'm merely trying for 1000 per week, and building up a bit now because I know I'll be trapped at a constant elevation a few metres above sea level starting early March for a few weeks (the missus arranged a cruise). She's warming to the idea of driving a camper round some hilly bits of France next year though.

That's right TLL, rub it in. I've cracked 40,000 but have a few week of crits left now so the climbing will slow down a bit. Need to be over 100k before winter or it will be hard to get there.toolonglegs wrote:Hmmm... 12,000 behind and that will only keep growing as the temps are going to plummet again .

With respect to planning, I compared the RideWithGPS website and bikeroutetoaster with an actual ride I measured with my iPhone 4 earlier on Monday. RideWithGPS predicted 83km and 1748m climbing, bikeroutetoaster predicted 85km and 1013m climbing, and my iPhone Strava app measured 82.7km and 1504m. Given that all of them use something based on Google Maps for their websites, I'm interested to hear if this wide divergence is expected, and if by similar margins for these three systems.
With respect to measurement, I've been slack the last couple of months and just used my phone, but has anyone compared the accuracy of a Garmin Edge 800 (and maybe 500) against various iPhones/Android devices? And I suppose different apps on the phones.
