Question...couldn't think of where it should go
So I have this question about gradient. How does one calculate it? I've looked at the gradients of Tour de France mountain climbs but haven't quite been able to figure it out. I know it's rise/run but...yeah.

If there are 5280 feet in a mile then a rise in elevation of 52.8 feet per mile is a 1% gradient and a rise of 528 feet per mile is a 10% gradient. I think it's just that simple. |
