Post the route and *elevation changes* of your favorite route using g-map!
I just learned that g-map now does changes in elevation. The URL for the site is here: https://www.gmap-pedometer.com/
You basically hit record and then double-click to plot out your route. Turn on the elevation chart (make it large its easier to read, IMO). Then click where it says TinyURL to make a URL you can post here.
I just spent 30 minutes tracing out my favorite rolling hill course combined with my favorite local climb. Then I copied the URL only to lose it when I copied to the site's URL to post here. I'll redo the two course separately tomorrow. Somebody throw on your favorite rides / climbs.
To keep you interested, my favorite local climb starts at 5000ft or so and climbs to over 8000 in under 11 miles. Whats even better though is the backside of that hill (which I've gone up several times). Nearly the same elevation gain in a LOT less miles. I didn't get a chance to calculate the back (western) side of the climb, but the east side is a winding 10.5 miles averaging 5.6% grade.

Old San Marcos and Painted Cave
2600ft in 5.6 miles. Very fun going back down the other way, but the road condition is very poor. I do just the Old San Marcos (1200 ft in 3.0 miles, 7.6% grade) part 1-2 times per week and constantly improving my time. PR is 21.48 minutes, about 8.3mph. Goal is 20 minutes even.

Sierra Vista Ave is about 390 feet in a mile... interval hill (average about 7 percent of so), deceptive though, it is steep then flattens out a bit for the top.

This is a route I ride fairly often... some tough (albeit fairly short) climbs, and a nice downhill... 27 miles.

This is one of my regular weekend rides.
https://tinyurl.com/8qsqb
It's a nice modifyable course (it's also part of the Hilly 100) that I can cut some chunks out of when I don't feel like doing a 50 mile ride. My route seems to have broken the elevation feature on the map though because it's not loading for some reason.

A nice 40+miler I do quite frequently in the Poconos:
https://tinyurl.com/8cmh8
There is a one-mile 12% grade at mile 26 which is a part of a 7-mile, 2000 foot grade. a good bit of up and down on this ride, but the winding downhills are worth the effort.

Here's a route that I've done but not before falling over in exhaustion near the top of Keel Mt. Nice and flat for the first 8 miles but that next mile is a killer. ~950 feet in 1.3 miles.

Here's my longest ride of my very short riding career:
https://tinyurl.com/9wnel
46 miles with two climbs of the same Grant mt. I'd been riding maybe a couple of months when I did this; I was in real pain the last few miles. Felt great the first 35 miles, though.

How accurate is the cumulative elevation gain feature of this program? Hopefully, it is better than DeLorme Topo USA.
