Subject: IMKY & IMWI Bike Elevation Comparison

Anyone know where I can find an elevation of the IMKY bike course. I did IMKY in '07 and want to compare to IMWI for '09. Everyone says how tough the bike course is at IMWI and I want to know what I am getting into.

 

If you haven't seen this yet it's pretty cool

there was a graph of the kentucky bike on the website right here  

It's small but if you save the picture of it on screen you can enlarge it on your own..

IMKY Route and Elevation:

IMWI Route and Elevation:

If you don't have a Garmin, you can download the Garmin Training Center software, download the courses from MotionBased, and do whatever analysis you'd like.

Or download the Google Earth .kml file and do a virtual flyover of the course on GE.

The motionbased links are good to look at profiles but the elevation gains are a bit off. I got about 4400' of climbing last year at IMWI and about 4200' this year at IMKY. Those numbers were from the Polar altimeter. 8000' and 10,000' are a bit on the high side.

The graphs look worse than the courses really are. It's a long bike ride with a lot of rollers. "What goes up, must come down. Spinning wheels, gotta go round." I was singing that going up and down the hills at IMKY this year. They go by pretty fast, find a gear and spin right up the hill and have a blast going down!!
