I’m showing a bit over 40,000ft of climbing. I know my 1030 has a habit of over reading but a mate with a Wahoo is showing similar.
What has everyone else got ?
-
11.412 meters (Garmin 530; start at 17:30 and finish at 01:50, in case barometric variations play a role)
-
I get just over 12,000m for the 1200km, so 10m per km, which is fairly average for my riding. neither flat nor hilly, just rolling.
-
12512m on a non-calibrated Garmin 510
-
I didn’t check this time but they used to quote 10,000m so that’s 20% more ?
-
mine shows 11,519m which is fairly average for most uk audaxes

PBP used to be quoted as climbing the height of Everest last century. I suspect some of the increase comes from the measurement methods employed and some from route changes.

The climb/fall and overall climb is given on the PBP web site. Their figure is 11,835m.

I felt like the return route to Loudeac was more hilly than before. Imagination? There were a couple of big descents that I can't recall from previous editions.
-
my Garmin GPSmaps 64s counted 11.834 meters of climbing. Strava, which ignores the device's altitude data and uses its own elevaltion model, says 10.200 meters.

My Garmin Etrex 30x shows 11837m
-
My Edge 800 gave 10274m (33707ft).
-
12,057 Metres with a Garmin Etrex 30

No, afraid not: the return section (9) Carhaix to Loudéac had a different route to 2015* - in particular the roads to Le Quillio through St-Thélo had the steepest climbs and descents + the twistiest and roughest roads of the whole event. Very pretty, but not entirely appreciated coming 3/4 way through a 1200km!
:'(
* I should add "as I remember" - which is hardly definitive!

My Wahoo's barometer/temperature sensor started playing up mid ride, so I've recorded 510536m of climbing.
I've got warranty details to send them, a load of correct elevation buttons to press and a refund at the Ibis Budget to sort out as well as all my washing/unpacking.
urgh.
