Sometimes I encounter many hills in the area around where I live. It can be fun to climb them and then go downhill quickly. On longer rides it can be important to take into account how much climbing you will be doing, so you are ready for the challenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elevation gains while cycling can be measured by the total uphill distance traveled. Going up and down 10 hills can total more elevation gained than one long hill. Cyclists need to make sure they factor in the total effort needed, even if they’re not cycling to a higher elevation than where they started from.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I remember going on a bike ride where there were gentle hills to climb at first, but then came along, slightly steeper hill. It was easy at first but my legs wanted to give out after a while. I didn’t realize how the elevation gain over longer distances would tax my legs so much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
