Elevation per mile pointless prize

[QuikAF77]

I feel like sponsoring a pointless prize, and I enjoy climbing so here goes. Most elevation per mile on average for the entire competition. It is kind of the anti-HP laps prize.

Rules:

You must have a minimum of 29,029 ft of climbing total (height of Mt. Everest).

Self report on this thread if you think you have a shot. Pretty simple math, divide your total elevation by total miles.

Winner gets a curated 6-pack from breweries located in mountainous regions of the country. (Probably a decorated paper plate as well).

Edit/New rule: You MUST attend closing HH to claim your prize! I’m not carrying that extra weight for 40+ miles that day just to carry it home too! No-show winner means next highest gets the prize.

Bonus: If a team manages to average over 50ft/mile for the whole competition I will buy members of that team a beer at the closing Happy Hour.

It is an individual thing. Team prize only if the team averages over 50 ft/mi as a team. Right now Team 18 is at 54 ft/mi (RIP my credit card).

Although more involved, would be cool if there is a team leaderboard too. jrenaut???

Team leaderboard is already there from a prior prize, it’s just not listed in the menu. See the billy goat leaderboard.

I can do an individual leaderboard at some point.

There’s still time to be an alternate, Subby.

I hear Team 20 is happy to add slackers, sorry, “friends.”

Every sleaze for you should be up Mt Daniel, down, up again.

So the question becomes: Stop my hill sleaze at elevation for the best ratio, or stop it back at home for the extra micro mileage?

The struggle is real! Unfortunately, this thread inspired me to calculate my elevation/mile which …. wasn’t pretty. I gotta step up my game.

[fxbooks]

Woo hoo! I’ve got almost one foot per mile more than reji does! Let the bragging rights commence!

It still isn’t pretty, but I’ll take what I can get.

I think you’ll be going the wrong way in that case.

You’re right. Guess I’ll turn left instead.

Ooooh, a hill challenge. Count me in!! I’m around 56′ per mile right now, but that includes many flatter rides than I usually do thanks to travel and the wickedly cold weather.

I figured you would be a front-runner, looks like you’ve got some competition! Bob C from Team 18 is sitting at 75 ft/mi, Cynthia P from Team 22 at 60 ft/mi, and Rachel C from Team 17 @ 59 ft/mi just from my quick look at the “Distance Elevation Speed” chart.
