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
