Where do you find the miles to elevation ratio? I want to make sure I am still an MTBer.

I'm so not a mountain biker.

 

[Faust29]

I hope I get accepted... Jeez this must be what pledges feel like. You don't haze the newbs too badly do you?

You're in as long as you send me the initiation fee by Saturday.

You're at 114 feet per mile... You're not a roadie!

Divide your elevation by your miles

If you really want to geek out on Strava data, I like VeloViewer. This is one of the screenshots where you can see a graph of almost any data you want (like Elev/Distance) laid out daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly.

I think I made the MTB cutoff most months

You can even check out interesting stats like Heart Beats per Mile ... I'm not quite sure what to do with that one

And if you REALLY care what other people think of your accomplishments, you can even graph your Kudos!

You're welcome!

88 feet per mile...... . Guess I better head over to www.imtbpavement.com

But wait, 2016 was 274,117/2,735=100.23! I still have a quarter step it up for 2017.

 

[Faust29]

Ok... Before you guys label me a Stravasshole, 100 is just an arbitrary number I chose. I do look at the elevation/mile for myself, and I like to see it go up each year, but don't take it too seriously!

This weekend's Holy Jim to Trabuco loop, just for the record, is up around 170 feet per mile... @Mikie could make the ride easier if we went on to San Juan. 7500/50 works out to only 150 feet per mile... It's actually easier!

I didn't realize 100' per mile was something you came up with. That's actually the ratio I use to describe an easy MTB ride.

Rides under 100' per mile tend to be flat.

As a climber I like to see 150, 175, 200' per mile....but I'm a ride snob.

 

[Runs with Scissors]

My last ride was 7,461/54 = 138 ft/mile. But it was on a road bike, on pavement, so it doesn't count.

 

[dustyyoungblood]

Year to date: 119.4'/mi
Most weeks 130-140'/mi
guess I not a big of a pussy as I thought.

 

[Runs with Scissors]

I'm not saying what my YTD ft/mile is...

 

[Faust29]

Me neither!

 

[Cyclotourist]

I've always figured 1,000 ft for every 10 miles, but yeah, that's what I consider a nice ride, no drama, all fun!
My average is pegged in roadie territory... I'm either a fat-tired roadie, or a dainty mountain biker!!!

 

[Mikie]

I hope I get accepted... Jeez this must be what pledges feel like. You don't haze the newbs too badly do you?

Hey, I apparently just accepted you. You're in! Now you are somebody?

 

[Sidewalk]

I'm mostly roadie, so my climbing numbers aren't impressive. I use Strava for the social nature of it, riding with other people (or running). I mainly compete with myself.

 

[herzalot]

I don't STRAVA, but I know my elevation profile would be no less than 150' per mile. The majority of my rides are between 15 and 16 miles and 2400 ft. of climbing.

Yay me!!!!!!!

Now if I had the time and dedication to push my regular ride to 3500' plus of climbing, at that same ratio, without giving up the fun part of mtb. And develop my jumping skills. On the other hand, that would seriously cut into my smartass-post-writing-on-IMTB time.

Same here. I like looking at my stats and it is just another form of social media.

I live or die based on what my Strava stats say.

 

[Cornholio]

I just looked and I’m actually at 111.92’/mi this year, that’s with many of my recent rides finishing at Irvine park with flat miles too. My total mileage/climbing is pathetic this year though.

 

[littlewave]

Uh oh. 105. But, that includes a lot of commuting miles.

 

[Voodoo Tom]

Guess that means our Cannell ride last weekend was a "roadie" ride.

 

[Faust29]

My two shuttle rides last week dropped my yearly average by a foot!

Thankfully the ride we have picked out for @Mikie will bring my average back up...

 

[Sidewalk]

I'm at 53/mile.

But I should break half a million feet climbed so far this year by the end of the week...

 

[konakc]

I only use strava for my own nerd stats and have (reluctantly) less than 20 followers. If I joined a group like this it would just make me more angry about my lack of riding, not to mention embarrass me since I don’t meet the climbing to mile ratio that makes someone a MTBer rather than roadie.

Hey u finished ccoup..in the mud n rain..enough said..

 

[konakc]

Divide your elevation by your miles

Is there an easier way?
