Am I missing something
Yes. Strava only counts climbs, not (climbs-descents), so unless you're on the Bonneville Salt Flats or something, there'll always be elevation gain, even in a loop.Does that 28 miler start and finish at the same place ?

Elevation gain means going upwards as opposed to his house gaining 1300ft since he left for his ride..Does that 28 miler start and finish at the same place ?

Ah right, my Garmin has a total climbing figure and an elevation gain figure, for some reason my loop has me gaining 3ft whilst climbing 560ft....Yes.

Get out and race.
You will ride harder than you ever have before.
You will see where you are really at, and be inspired to truly work hard.
You will be able to look back, as I have just today, and see how far you've come.
While I do not know much about racing, I think you should carry on improving and perhaps one way to do that is to enter a race: it will give you a baseline from which you can excel.
That's bad advice IMO, if the OP gets spat out the back after 1\2 mile and pulled off shortly after, thats embarrassing and soul destroying. It's one thing 'giving it a go', but it's another to be a joke.
