2007 PMC Elevation Profile

This map should have an elevation cross-section at the bottom - but it doesn't. So Ken was kind enough to plot it for me in excel, so we'll have a cross section profile of the ride.I did have to edit the data a little bit - the data provided by MapMyRide was a little corrupted for the 60-100 mile range, so I had to look up data points on google earth, figure out the elevation for those points, and then amend their data. Take it with a grain of salt.

At least the beginning of the ride came out nicely with the original data - thats the most interesting part, elevation wise. That 800+ ft hill isn't wrong... there are some seriously big hills in the beginning - but at least they are in the beginning, and not at the end of a 100+ mile day.

So it looks like we have a total of 2,133 feet of climbing to do (elevation gain)... as well as 2,700 feet elevation loss - which I am looking forward to... Wheeeeee!
