Black Bear Cycling Presents: 2015 Bear Scat 50 Endurance Mountain Bike Race: June 7, 2015

Saw this and the number surprised me. My Strava was ~4.5k elevation. I looked at some others and found similar: stravas are in the mid-4ks while garmins are around 6k. That's a big difference. I believe the garmin is more accurate than strava for this.
I have a feeling you are correct.

Not sure how much faith I would put in the 705's altimeter, but regardless, get out there and give it a shot! I was just hoping to do 1.5 laps and would have been ok with just one lap. I surprised myself and was just barely able to finish. Will definitely be back next year.
 
Great, the course is in great shape. Now, how's your shoulder since the accident?

Shoulder is good. I'd say 97% functional. It didn't bother me bumping through all of these rocks on the fatty. Not bad considered how bad it could have been. Now I just need an accident free 2016 😉
