How do I measure ride distance and elevation changes?
I've done it before on a mapping site but evidently I didn't bookmark it and now I can't find it. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

I use mytracks android app for running, hiking an cycling. Does a pretty good job and is fairly accurate. It's also free
there are other good apps also, SportyPal is the other one that comes to mind.
