Rosehip Jul 2020 9:38pm, 8 Jul 2020 17,008 posts	0 Rosehip Sits back ( I think the kids phrase is something bout opening the popcorn ) I spent 25 yrs in a lab working in metric mg and g, but in my kitchen it's ounces and lbs all the way! On the hills its miles and feet!

Her route is shorter ( avoiding 2 out'n'backs ) but a large drop and re-climb. At this stage of the game are you better doing shorter distance and more climbing, or vice-versa ? Personally I'd go for less climbing, but suppose it depends on where your strengths lie.
