I must admit I havn't been up (or down) this hill. I've walked it and driven it, but never on a bike...
DH has taken this route several times going to the grocery and he loves going downhill on this one.. said he hit 28mph coming down and was on the breaks.

Is that a beta version of Map my Ride? I haven't seen those graphs before when I've mapped my ride...

Admittedly I wouldn't be mapping my routes for the whole Internet world to see.
A general description/summary, is better.My Personal blog on cycling & other favourite passions.

I did remove all street and city names.. so yes, I did take some thought into posting that map.

I like that! What a hill though. I'm just mapping my epic trip from home to soft play and back. Hmmm, 1.97miles. Still, much faster than walking and a lot more exciting.

If you want a decent approximation of grade, use ridewithgps, or look at the USGS topo maps.
MapMyRide wildly understates grade and total elevation gain, and you've found a clue as to why. I didn't realize the contour lines got farther apart as you zoomed out, though!Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

There's one in my neighborhood like that. 27.7 and my right hand was cramping up. Originally Posted by Roadtrip

Warneral: While you're mapping, there's a check-box that says "show elevation". It's underneath the "undo", "clear", etc buttons.At least I don't leave slime trails.
