How much climbing do you do each week?

[Shut Up Legs]

This is my "how far do you ride per week" but with a twist!
I'll start the ball rolling on this one: Due to my commute being reasonably long and moderately hilly, I generally manage about 800m (2630ft) climbing in one round-trip commute, so about 4000m (13160ft) per week.

I get 350ft minimum per trip so commuting 5 days a week I get over 3000 ft over 56 miles. I am stretching it out so expect it to rise shortly

 

[Dave 123]

At least 500ft if I take dropped kerbs into account!

Not something I count. I deliberately go looking for hills, and therefore do lots of hill climbing, but keeping any sort of score on that is not something I have ever considered doing. Sorry!

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

this one actually surprised me given where I live. According to strava last week I did over 1,719m of climbing. Garmin also concurs...

 

[Herzog]

Between 2000 (6500 ft) and 7000m (23,000 ft) depending on what I'm doing - 45,000m (148,000 ft) done so far this year.

Who cares? I climb as much as the road I'm on does.

I'm at a distinct disadvantage given I live in Cambridgeshire but I guess 1-2,000 feet per week depending on how many speed humps we go over .

Does this include running up and down the stairs to check on the girls in my "massage parlour" business?

 

[Kestevan]

My commute racks up about 1800ft a day - but that mainly follows the bottom of the valley, so counts as flat round here.

I thought we were discussing bikes, not "bikes" .

Here in Suffolk I do about 10-20ft per mile - even if I'm seeking the hillier bits....

So I'm in the 1000-2000ft group.

The stats are on my home PC but IIRC its pretty variable for me, my rides here usually only have circa 3000ft in 70-100miles but ocaisionally events further afield see me climbing more iirc the Marmotte was over 16,000 in 129miles and my recent trip to Winnats etc was 14000ft in 140miles.

 

[Hacienda71]

A flat week for me is about 5000 ft a hilly week is about 15000 ft. I find it is dependent on what mood I am in. Hilly for me is 1000ft per 10 miles ridden.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

I'm averaging around 8,000 feet a week this year. 140,000 feet so far this year (per Strava which robs me blind of elevation )
