My experience with TopoUSA is that it counts. every. foot. climbed, which will be a higher number compared to taking the difference between your start and ending elevations, which is what I've noticed most ride organizers do to get their elevation change. Our ride to Echo Lake TopoUSA put at 12k+ of climbing, for example....
