Alex showed me something neat


Above are google earth views of two rides.
One was SS, one was geared.
The SS ride was a tiny bit faster, .2 miles longer, and w/ 500' more of climbing according to Garmin.
They look pretty identical to me so I'm wondering where those 1060' linear, and 500' vertical are?

    Yes.
    I do a "reverse loop" and throw in couple of fireroad climbs.
    When I get to the powerlines I take the fireroad down and then climb back up to the gasline, loop around and finish the regular "reverse loop".
    How the frame building going?

    Ahhh now I see it.

    Frame building is going to pick up a bit soon. I took a looonnnggg time off contemplating throwing in the towel on the whole thing (TIGging is very frustrating), but a buddy of mine is going to help me set up a more sytematic approach to practicing instead of kinda "winging" it. It will help alot.
    Stay tuned...I hope

    The singlespeed lap was a claimed 16.13, but the geared was 15.92, so we can just say about 16.
