Hit the Crystal City Bike to Work Week pitstop again this morning and saw all the usual suspects who were there yesterday
It makes it really hard to actually GO to work when you’re in a nice park drinking free coffee and all your bike friends are showing up… they should do that every day!
My legs are gonna be so dead by Friday…
I tried syncing from Endomondo but nothing showed up so I entered miles manually – now to see if it doubles up on the rides or not

Over the 5+ years of the routes existence, the elevation has gone up from about 10,800 to my estimate of 12,800.
I have usually talked about it with educated guesses for the elevation gain because Ride With GPS doesn’t accurately calculate it.
Today I looked at the actual elevation data recorded on 4 different types of devices by 12 different people on many occasions over the last 3 years. The lowest measured elevation gain was 10,800. The highest was 13,200. I’ve ridden the loop 20 times in the last 5 years and pretty consistently come up with numbers that tend to validate the mid-upper 12,000 estimate. It takes me a little while to calculate that because I generally ride for an hour before and after the ride so my legs don’t explode. I rarely take the time to subtract out the pre and post ride elevation.
Does that help?
Eesh. That 40 mile gravel grinder we did had about 2900 feet and that pretty much killed me. I can’t imagine doing 4 times that

Spoiler alert: Cycling is number 3, but biking to work isn’t fun.
Kickball? Dodgeball?
“If you’re like me, kickball was the one playground game that meant not getting picked last.”
Clearly the author played a kinder gentler version of kickball than I did as a kid
