MotionBased Elevation

I was just looking at the Walker Ranch profile on Motion Based and was checking out their MB Gravity option which uses Earth elevation maps to estimate elevation changes instead of using unit elevation. They claim that their elevation model is better than GPS elevation but worse than barometric adjusted elevation.

That would explain my results, since the official elevation change at Walker is 1720ft and my Edge 705 shows 1688ft. The "MB Gravity" shows over 2000ft for the same track.

Last few rides

Glen was interested in the cyclocross ride Mike, Bryan and I did last week as well as the road ride Ed and I did yesterday.

Also, George and I rode Walker Ranch today and we did it CCW in decent time (1:11 moving, 1:24 clock). It was in really nice shape, not muddy, but just enough moisture for good traction. I rode the whole way from the river up Columbine Gulch with only 1 dab on the V rocks about 1/3 of the way up.

Kenosha Pass Ride

On Sunday rode Kenosha Pass. What a great ride. 5 hours of singletrack. Painful climbs and thrilling descents. We left a reasonable amount of blood on the trail as a donation to the trail gods. Ride profile is up on Motion Based.
