Some of you guys must live at the base of some big hills.

I do live q few kays out from a few fairly decent climbs, but 10km of that ride was along the flats to get to the first climb

Huh, I did the correct elevation thing on Sat too and gained 900m Unfortunately, statmonkey had already fetched the previous elevation gain..clydesmcdale wrote:Completed the Strava Quarq Challenge on Saturday. Uploaded the 162km with 1650m of climbing, then did the correct elevation thing in strava and it dropped to 1100m.

Is this elevation correction something that Strava does automatically as it processes one's mobile data? Then sends the corrected data back out to the mobile device? When I get back from a ride, I get out my iPhone and hit save, then by the time I go inside after putting things away, the distance has usually shrunk by a small amount (a couple of tenths of a km out of say 30 or 50km) but the climbing elevation gain has in some cases almost doubled. It is then usually a fair bit more than bikeroutetoaster but a small amount less than ridewithGPS.

On the device it exaggerates elevation, when corrected by Strava I consistently get 10 - 20% below real.

Which measure is correct. I assume everyone on here isn't correcting their data, or are they?

If you log in to Garmin Connect you read up on the elevation correction and how it works - not sure what Strava does with theirs but I guess it is similar. It essentially uses known altitude measurements based on mapping data AFAIK. This is why there are always differences in elevation when using things like mapmyride, ridewithgps etc. to plot potential routes.
The Edge 500 has a barometric altimeter which *should* be giving the most accurate elevation readings based on exactly which path you have taken on the road. As long as your starting elevation point is correct, then everything will be fine. Although if it isn't, the +/- over a ride should still be the same.
EDIT: Strava also does funny things with moving time/elapsed time - the figures are never the same as what Garmin Connect displays which is just the raw data from the device. Strava has their own algorithms which do funky things.

I'm coming second or third, but 20,000 off Daccordi. Hahahaha.

I'm keen - earlier start the better, and I'm keen to do any sealed climb anywhere in Adelaide as long as the descent isn't too hairy.jzr wrote:We should arrange a local climbing fest - any other Adelaide BNA members keen?
I don't like Coach Rd or Kensi Rd - both give me the heebee geebees coming back down.
I really, really want to hit 3000m in under 100km. Without the aid of Strava elevation correction of course!
Tomorrow morning I think I'm going to try and go for a ride with a crew that head up to Lofty on Tuesday mornings, 550am at the lights, after that I want to do a repeat on Coachhouse/Woodlands... not sure if the repeat will eventuate haha.

Mt Osmond (Beaumont side), Freeway to very top of Lofty, down to Windy Point, up Towards Crafers via Sturt Valley Rd. Into Stirling for a refuel. Down Freeway, back over Mt Osmond and up Greenhill, down to the Parade for the end point. 100km.
Or there was the Dirty Dozen route Adelaide Cyclists did that I missed, we could find that.

Dirty dozen does Kensi & Coach... I'd do Coach again if I had to, definitely never going near Kensington again. It's way too narrow and car filled and suburban for the speeds you can catch heading down.Daccordi Rider wrote:i'd be keen. Maybe one day at Easter could work.

I'd be keen for a Dirty Dozen style ride, though. There are plenty of roads you could substitute Coach and Kensi with... Osmond (Beaumont side) comes to mind, I like that climb a lot.

Let's pencil it in.
I'm not the fastest climber out there but I like to think I can hold my own, so happy to be challenged whatever route is determined. My resolution for this year was to explore more roads/climbs which so far is working out, the only limitation is spare time to get out there!

I'm in the same boat as you I think. Not super fast - haven't been riding for long enough - but I haven't had a climb beat me yet and I think I've ticked off most of the tough climbs in the eastern and north eastern climbs.
We should trade strava deets
