New cycling accomplishment metric: combine distance traveled and elevation gained

The Data Science Cyclist devises a new metric for combining distance traveled and elevation gained to measure overall accomplishments from a ride. It can be used to compare two rides with different profiles of ride length and elevation changes. Specifically, the flat-equivalency distance (FED) is the distance on flat road which would require the equivalent total work to cycle given typical riding and conditions. Statistical analysis revealed that the FED (in km) is calculated by distance (km) + 1/20 * elevation gained (in metres) - 1/70 * elevation loss (in metres). An imperial version is also provided. Another metric is proposed to quantify the cumulative accomplishments of numerous rides over a period or lifetime of endurance riding. A cyclist's FED-index is the number of rides s/he has completed with a flat equivalency distance of at least the same number of kilometres as its rank among all endurance rides. It is a derivative of the Eddington-number which was defined by Sir Arthur Eddington. Feel free to leave a comment below and like and share the video. Happy endurance riding!
