Mr Phelps said you're looking at more than double that whilst you're away.. All I know is I have to try and match your mileage! ;-)Time 138h 49m

Interting to see the hillyness for various people. Some of the totals imply they're flatter than a witches tit - even riding on the cheshire plain gets you 1k foot in 30 miles.
Equally, other people seem to either do nowt but hill repeats, or live half way up the eiger. Some people seem hiller than a hilly thing!

For me it depends what mood I'm in and what the current Strava challenges are...Equally, other people seem to either do nowt but hill repeats, or live half way up the eiger. Some people seem hiller than a hilly thing!
...it was last year, I know, but I did this ride chasing the IMBA climbing challenge:- http://www.strava.com/activities/93725263
there were 3 rides for me last November that were each over 5,300ft of climbing, simply to gain a silly digital 'badge'
54.3mi & 5,338ft
51.7mi & 5,387ft
78.6mi & 5,535ft
The monthly challenges can certainly be a factor in motivating me to ride on days when otherwise I might not bother.
Those rides are hillier than a hilly hilly thing.
I live on the edge of the peak district. A hilly ride for me (like "lets go and hit the hills") is 4.5 feet in 40 miles as a benchmark. Getting. 5.5 in 40 miles must be brutal! It seems like such a small difference on a screen, the reality is an average increase in climb grade of about 3 or 4 cogs. Chapeau.

If you check my speed over those rides, you'll find it was really quite slow I live on the edge of the peak district.

What some call "hill repeats," others call "commuting"

It's a reasonable workout: http://www.strava.com/activities/122709822 (5360ft in 36.5 miles)uncinqsix said:

Bump!
Another month has gone by, so how are people doing for 2014?
46 rides
767 miles / 1234 km
29531 feet / 9002 metres elevation
65 hours moving time
Longest ride - still 45 miles/72 km so far
Hoping to get the bike out for some commuting miles soon with a new job, but a month away in the summer will cancel out those extra miles I'm sure!
