Glad you got to enjoy the view of Fuji.
A...Manfred:<br />Glad you got to enjoy the view of Fuji.<br />As for altitude, I will disable the "correction" feature for this entry on Garmin Connect. The Edge 705 reported a little over 2000 meters for the full trip before corrections, which I think is roughly accurate. The up and down from Okutamako through Tabayama is maybe 200 meters in aggregate, multiplied by two since you get it going each way. Plus a little more up and down further down river (10 meters? after Okutamako station, another 20 meters? after Ikusabata? and so on). Then again, my Garmin device told me that I had done less than 100 meters of climbing when I had gone from near sea level to Oume (around 200 meters elevation).<br />Best,<br />DavidDavid Litthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09821846303393230109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730233429051035621.post-25184938108084266072010-12-05T22:04:30.265+09:002010-12-05T22:04:30.265+09:00I had the same beautiful view of Fuji from Yanagis...I had the same beautiful view of Fuji from Yanagisawa a week ago, and I suspect Tom too. Yanagisawa was the end of my cyclocross trip on various new rindos in the area:<br /><br />http://connect.garmin.com/activity/58174235<br /><br />BTW, your post is perfect proof of how unreliable the altitude gained readings are. The site says 2,700m of climbing, which is clearly a gross exaggeration. You say 2,000m, which is probably what the unit stated. But how can it be that much when the pass is at less than 1,500m and the bit of up and down between the lake and Tabayama can hardly account for 500m, even both ways...<br /><br />You are rather kind on the Bing maps. They are complete crap! I cannot see anything advantageous about them. Lacking many details, no terrain view, and the road map is outdated (e.g. the first tunnel getting off route 299 just before Sakuho on my trip today is not even on it - but it is on googlemaps.<br /><br />http://connect.garmin.com/activity/58827775Manfred von Holsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569864868439666760noreply@blogger.com
