Note on elevations: The elevations given above are estimates using an online mapping program and should not be considered totally accurate. Mapping software calculates elevations using U.S. geologic survey map contours, not road surfaces, so crossing bridges can show a precipitous drop in elevation and then a dramatic climb. More accurate elevations will be calculated in the spring when the course is ridden with a GPS unit.
