etrex30 r4:17.10.25).
Notes: second annual
Bob's-change-your-email-mantra-to-skiing-season-ride-without-Bob.
Basecamp calculates the track as having
7952ft of climbing (wich is actually the
same figure as from the etrex30 device)
and 8047ft of descent. Since they should
be equal basecamp's best estimate comes
out to 8000ft of climbing.
