"This year I've ridden around 12,000 KMs, I've done about 40-50,000 metres of climbing."
That's basically a vertical wall.
Velocio-
Have you been to the Chilterns?

Errr... I stand to be corrected but:
Its an equivalent gradient of 0.42%:
50,000 metres= 50km (rise)
12,000 km= 12,000km (run)
Gradient = rise/run x 100For reference-
Regents Park (outer circle) has 30m (though some sources claim 50!) of vertical rise. It is roughly 4.4km long.
So an average gradient of 0.68% -
It's about 400m of climbing per 100km which if anything seems pretty low.
-
Given tcr 2016 was 4000km 40,000m. (Possibly more). 50,000 per 12,000 is quite sedate!
-
TCR04 was ~4000k w/ ~50,000m climbing IIRC.

Some people do 2-3000 in a day, regularly. Wouldn't be hard (yes it would, but it's conceivable) to do 50,000m in 6 months.
