Looks like it'll be a nice ride.
I don't know why there are dropouts like that on bikely. I managed to "fix" it by scooting the points in that area around a bit.
Bikely says 5100ft, but I bet it's much more like 6500ft. Bikely is notoriously low.
The climbing is placed well in the ride. Lots of sharp hard climbs in the beginning (including Dogwood again!). The hills round off as you near Libertytown- still climbing, but gentler. The last 1/3 is a nice roll home.
There's a nice 1 mile unpaved in there too. I'll offer a detour for those who aren't up for the adventure.
Very nice route. I'm psyched to ride it with a group.
