Maps, elevation and the Pacific Coast between Florence, OR and SF, CA

Hi bf/touring.

I'm in a bit of a mapping conundrum here. Doing Eugene to SF next month. I've got a loose itinerary of the trip, but suspect it will change based on a few factors including what kind of elevation we'll be doing. As of right now, I'm going fully loaded with a compact 10 speed drive train, so I'm sure I'm going to run into some really hard climbing. I'd like to base the itinerary more on how hard the days will be, rather than how long in distance. Or at least take the elevation into consideration. Problem is, I'm not sure of a way to create and print maps of the route that include elevation metrics. Mapmyride was the closest thing I got to it, but any plotted distances over 75km deliver an error for elevation.

Because I'm cheap, I'd like to be able to create the map, and print it out as a series of pages and laminating them or something. The end result would have a day of riding per page, with an elevation graph at the bottom. Does anyone have suggestions of a good way to do this? Perhaps someone already has and wants to hook me up?
