Terty tree - pretty much flat around here. It is harder on the flat than for you hill dwellers though. I mean, you pretty much always have to pedal, no relaxing downhills.

You try riding up 20%ers and tell me that again!

34.3 ft/m (across both road and mtb) in flattish Essex.

No idea, don't really care much either.

I know some individual ride numbers. If I ride from here out across the levels it'll be about 3 ft/mile for the whole ride. From here to the top of the Blackdowns or Quantocks then about 200ft/mile one way. Here to Bridgewater and back on the canal, 1 ft/mile if you're lucky.

I can understand why an individual hill is of interest, and just about for the aggregated uphills of an individual ride, but can't really see what's important about a long term figure. Please tell.

On my commute its 45.4 according to a route mapping website
No idea about club runs as i do not have any fancy strava/gps devices, i do know they ride leaders love hills and we went up a 23 % according to another club member on Sunday.

It was something that i stumbled across whilst analyzing my data.

Most cyclists like the competition factor, it is why we use strava and such.....

thanks for your useful imput though.

It'll be falling all the time, now I'm down south but based on Garmin alone, I'm at 45ft per mile. It was 52.7ft/mile last year up north (well up central, up north is somewhere around Inverness )
Strava says its 51 this year
