Planning a trip in your LSV with Google Maps

Hey everyone,

I have found that going uphill in my LSV can be a bit slow and frustrating. Especially for the folks behind me! I went out looking for a way to chart grade and elevation so that I could plan a better route to and from work.

This website is pretty awesome: Cycle Route | Plan and map your cycle route with elevation profile

It’s intended for bicyclists (obviously) but it’s useful for car trips too. You can give it a starting point and destination and let it plan your trip. Then drag the route around to compare hills/grade/etc.
