I am having a very hard time following the Alyn Ride website (www.alynride.org). In general, it's very user unfriendly and difficult to navigate but, in one particular area, I'm totally lost.
The Tuesday route has an option that looks like it adds about 20+ kilometers to the day but I am at a loss to understand what the option is. Is it going down and up Maale Akrabim? The elevation chart does not include the extra miles and the aggregate elevation numbers seem low for a day in which we climb out of the Machtesh Gadol (The Big Crater) and climb Maale Akrabim. I suspect that the elevation chart does not include the descent down, or climb up, Maale Akrabim (leading me to believe that that is the option).
Anyone have a clue what the cumulative accent is for Maale Akrabim and whether it is reflected on the chart?

Its not in the chart.
ReplyDeleteDont know the cumulative accent, but we go from "0" m' elevation to 466m' so I guess its about 500m' cumulative. that will give a total of about 1600 meters for the day.that's not too bad. last year we were scheduled for more. Maale Akrabim is still the hardest hill I've ever climbed. and now I have to get into shape for it and maybe loose some weight
