Computing Elevation Gain
Hi All. My girlfriend and I are planning a Spring 2013 trip around the perimeter of Michigan's lower peninsula utilizing USBR#35 up the Lake Michigan side. We do not travel light, e.g. our lodging is a 4-man Hilleberg tent weighing 14 pounds with footprint, and this time I will be pulling our dog in a trailer. Being in my mid-60's and from the flat lands of Chicago I am concerned with getting up hills. Does anyone know of a way to determine the elevation gain along a given route so I can plan an appropriate length to ride each day? I've entered the trip into Google Maps but it doesn't appear to compute the elevation gain. Thanks for any suggestions.
