I recently got an Apple Watch with elevation. I’ve always wondered about elevation gains on rides/sections of rides. I’ve kept a record of the elevation on typical rides with climbing or mtb trails. It is not extensive, and more of just interest.
I have an idea of my avg speed range. I don’t record it, but I know if I had a stronger or weaker day. It is funny that there are rides when I feel like cutting it short and I end up going longer at a good pace. That does encourage me at times when I start out feeling pretty feeble on other rides.
Bit like you, my yearly mileage is just a guess. I’m thankful for just being out there turning the peddles.
