First glance it looks harmless. You can zoom in on the profile for more detail. What I usually do is break the whole route up into days. I have one route for each day.,
Just a note on both the Google route and the Ride with GPS route. Both route you up Apex trail which is a mountain bike trail. That steep little bump you see at about 18 miles is in the middle of the trail. It’s not a trail you want to ride a loaded touring bike up. The actual route would be up US40 about 2 miles to the south.

The route would still be better from west to east.
