Is this a flat route?

Hi there, as a newbie, I find any incline hard work, on my 11 mile route I seem to have an altitude gain of only around 300 feet, which I'm guessing is pretty much nothing.

Here's a link to one of my rides, feedback welcome:http://www.brytonsport.com/mapTrackView?id=4243867

Oh, and on this one which was my ride today, I took a little detour via my LBS, hence the pause.

 

[SpokeyDokey]

Yes - pretty much nothing at 5m/km.

As I'm a bit of a hill avoider, I can say with confidence that's a flat route

 

[HLaB]

Yip, thats pretty flat, keep at it and you'll soon think that way too

 

[Mickthemove]

Yep, thats flatter than a nude pre op lady boys chest on ITV4 ! keep at it and you will go looking for hills instead of avoiding them

 

[jowwy]

its very flat

 

[Hip Priest]

That's flat.

Mind, my commute is flat too, but when I first started I noticed every little incline. Persevere!

Nice to see someone using a Bryton, my first rides were like that.

Yeah, that's flat, but give it a couple of months and those inclines will take on all the significance of speed bumps.

After all, only a year ago, if you'd told me I would be riding this:

I'd have told you to get stuffed

Yeah,pretty flat but keep at it. Slowly expand your route and you'll gradually get better.
By the way. What bike have you got and how long have you been riding?

I have a Mekk Poggio 1.5, and I've been riding for around 6 weeks.

Pan flat, yes.

 

[Dusty Bin]

flat - but you've got some great climbs all around you..

That's a pretty nice bike you got there. A decent weight too.
You are doing OK.
Enjoy.
