That being said, as of today, with four more days left in the year (at least three of which should be rideable if the weather forecasts are to be believed) I have 304,889 feet of elevation gain for calendar year 2022.
Sorry, I just assumed the last few days of the year would be devoted to avoiding bad weather and cranking out the quota of nature paintings.
Also, we must recall:
Rule 24 // Speeds and distances shall be referred to and measured in kilometers.This includes while discussing cycling in the workplace with your non-cycling coworkers, serving to further mystify our sport in the web of their Neanderthalic cognitive capabilities. As the confused expression spreads across their unibrowed faces, casually mention your shaved legs. All of cycling’s monuments are measured in the metric system and as such the English system is forbidden.
and
Rule 68 // Rides are to be measured by quality, not quantity. Rides are to be measured by the quality of their distance and never by distance alone. For climbing rides, distances should be referred to by the amount of vertical covered; flat and rolling rides should be referred to by their distance and average speed. For example, declaring “We rode 4km” would assert that 4000m were climbed during the ride, with the distance being irrelevant.
