Er.. not exactly.  Karen said total elevation gain and
loss... which is a total change over the 5 days.  Up
*and* down, not just up.  If the starting elevation
was identical to the ending elevation then the average
elevation changes would have been 12,400 per day, 1/2
being up and 1/2 down... and the average amount of
climbing per day would have been more like 6,200 ft.

Nothing to sneeze at, but Tammy, your ride still wins.

I would have loved to have been there too.
