You are averaging 42'/mile. You only have ~20k' to go or if one does the math, which I'm not particularly good at - only 234 miles left to the 20K club or 472 miles to the 30k club on your regular routes you have been traveling. Get ta pedlin son :-O
You could also park near Beverly and Painter and then go east on Turnbull Canyon to S. Vallecito then turn round back to Painter. That gives you 9 miles and 1400' per round trip Do that 15 times and you get the keys to the club

And if I really have no time at all to ride but I've got the itch, I'll do laps of this one: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/981647
So my goal this month is 401 miles (to make up for the one stinking mile I missed last month) and I'm intentionally making those hilly miles despite the protests of my knee, so it's possible I'll make it. We'll see.

Yeah, I'm working up to it... the back half of Turnbull is a nasty little narrow thing and all the local hotheads with their souped up Civics like to teach that road a lesson. I actually live very near the intersection of Mar Vista and Colima - no need to park anywhere to access that climb. My new favorite "short" hilly route is this one: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/997338

elevation:
I just did a long ride saturday
Garmin (the device itself) says 1700 or so
Garmin connect with elevation correction says something like 2700
Strava says 1854
Training peaks with elevation correction says 3700 or so
I also look at the supposed grades on strava, and they have to be crap. They never registered over 4% I know beyond a shadow of a doubt those roads are higher...heck some of them even had signs saying 6%
What do you do with stuff like this?

The elevation correction feature may not be as accurate as you want to think it is. The device is reputedly correct, or close enough. Strava seems to be close to the uncorrected garmin data.
I went on a ride the other day, the correct garmin elevation data had a huge spike in the road that I know doesn't exist. Ergo, I assume the unit's measurements were more accurate.
I don't really get too worked up about it, nothing major is on the line.
I think strava averages the grades out pretty good so you don't see short spikes like you really do when you're riding.

461' yesterday
4566' MTD
Not as much as I'd like. May still hit 10,000' for the month but more likely 7500'

Myself, I'll have to get back on the bike after Saturday as I'll only have 7 days left to eclipse my best elevation gain month which was last month.
I've only had 8(!) rides this month. This sucks.

6/17 28.8 miles 1597 feet
6/19 27.2 miles 1779 feet
6/20 18.9 miles 891 feet
MTD 14,363 feet.
Less than 700 feet to get to my goal of 15k, and I still need to ride another 115 miles this month...so I will easily hit my elevation goal, just gotta focus on my mileage goal.
