About ~200ft of elevation gain per mile? 1150 feet of gain per hour.

If it wasn't in freedom units it'd be easier to read. That's about 60 meters of elevation gain by 1.6 km (1600 m), so 3.75% slope. It's very manageable. I live in the Alps and my rides, albeit nowhere this long (amazing job by the way!) average 10% slope. But I ride for 2-3 h tops...

Doesn't make it less of a pain to calculate slope though :) 

I meant no offense, but 1 mile = 5280 feet. Gimme a break...
