Climb Data for Skyline Drive

Using some mapping tools from mapmyride.com, I'm able to generate elevation and climb data for my planned trip on the Skyline Drive in VA next summer.



Keep in mind that I'll be traveling from South to North -- or right to left on the above diagram. If I were heading south, there would be almost 20 miles of 5% grades (or higher) of climbing right out of the gate. Since I'm going South to North, there is only one section where I'll be climbing 5% grades. This is what I had expected based on various reading. Its easier (relative) to bike north towards Front Royal.
