Elevation gain to distance ratio scoring

[lancy1]

As the title.  Of all the stats that Strava offers, it's only the elevation gain one that really appeals to me.  It'd be very useful to have a scoring system for every ride based on a ratio of elevation gain to distance, for comparison with my own rides and others, and it may quieten down a few people who rave on about their average speed but don't do much hill work.

I like this idea and it seems like it would be easy to implement by displaying feet of elevation gain per mile along with all the other basic ride stats.

Yes, it would be very easy Chris, amazed it's not already available to be honest!

I find elevation ratio to be one of the stats most indicative of effort in many sports, including walking/hiking. I use a third-party app to calculate and add this to my activities, but having it displayed directly in your stats summary would be a lot better.
