These are the statistics of the ride.

A note on elevation gain and cumulative gain: The Day's Elevation Gain was calculated from a download of the day's GPS route to a mapping program which calculated the day's gain. Since a GPS is usually accurate to within around 0 to eight yards there are times that the downloaded route was off up to eight yards. Eight yards is accurate enough except in the mountains where eight yards could be a couple of hundred feet in elevation if you are riding near a cliff above or below. Consequently on Skyline Drive and The Blue Ridge Parkway the elevation gains shown in this table are off significantly. For the dates May 30 through June 10 the total elevation change is closer to 50,000 feet instead of the 88,500 feet shown in this table.
