Bingo. I did a ride yesterday with a reported minimum elevation of 708ft, max of 764 ft, and an total ascent (elevation gain) of 505ft. Overall fairly flat but enough 10 and 20ft rises to add up over the 20 miles.

And to emphasize that these figures are approximate - my reported total descent was 479ft, yet I didn't end up hovering 26 ft above my parked car.
