Doesn't a GPS fluxuate anyways....

it will bouc up and down continuously a few feet or so.....does that add to the elevation totals? A bunch of flux would add up pretty quick.

We rode up green line^ 6 from fall creek, then hit c-line... rode up c-line to trail 50, rode up trail 50 to where it hits green line 6 back to c-line, then we hit c-line back up to mima porter #8 back down to fall creek.

its a pretty good loop really with not too much road.....
