Hi all.

Anyone know if there's a web facility to look up elevations or spot heights? I know I can get them from OS maps, but that's fiddly.

Just want see what my commute climb is.

ta.

    I think MapMyRide gives elevations.

    bikeroutetoaster.com and bikely.com let you put in the route, then give pretty decent summaries, which include elevation profiles. I use bikeroutetoaser and find it pretty good.

    Thanks chaps, I only tried pimpmyride.com so far, but it worked a treat.

    btw, the answer was 400 feet in 4 miles. How's that?

    About 1:50 or 2% :)

    Thanks Geoff, I was too drunk to work it out last night :oops:

    You're quite sure it isn't 50%?

    Didn't think so :cry:
