Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

doesn't look too tough. Can you map it somewhere and show distance and elevation?

You can map the route here: https://www.toporoute.com/cgi-bin/bicycle.cgi.

When you have the route marked, use the "Action" drop-down menu to select "plot elevation." That will give you a new window with a graphical representation of the hill's grade, and the average gradient.
