On my ride in to work today I was climbing the usual hill that sits halfway along my commute (the hill on the Barnet hwy, past Kask Bros, to North Burnaby for the locals) and I was wondering what the elevation gain is on my ride. So when I got here to work I found this web site that will give you the elevation of any spot on earth Google Maps Find Altitude so I found the high point of the hill on my commute and found it to be 450ft. Now I start my commute at 45 feet and end at sea level. Over the course of the 28 kms there are many ups and downs, hill climbs and fast descents with no actual flat spot. Was curious if there are any people who have a flat, get in the tuck and hammer, commute or some who have nothing but hills like me?

When I have more time I am going to map out the total elevation gains on my commute using that web site.

Cheers,

Dave
