Show us your commute elevation profile

This is the route to work, just reverse it for the way home. More climbing on the way home. It's probably not actually hilly by any Real Cyclist's standard, but it kills me (only done it twice - changed site I work at this week )

My ride to work profile resembles a bath tub.

I ride along the West Midlands plateau at 430 ft until it drops to the river Avon valley at Hatton down a 10% to 120 ft.
Eight miles of flat basin is followed by Chesterton bank, a 10% incline back up to 420 ft.

Not particularly hilly, but definitely slower on the way home than on the way in:

This is my current commute just now although I'm not doing it too regularly :-( just once or twice a fortnight and once the uni term begins again it'll only be the last 8km.
That other web site whilst being time consuming reported that it was a max of 29% but I seriously doubted it an chose Bikely instead and got bored so I decided to repeat it in Bikehike. Bikehike shows a max of 12-14%, thats more likely. It also show 30m less climbing than Bikely. Circa 45m of the climb doesn't exist it crossing the FRB and I actually stay at that level rising a metre or two rather than falling to sea level 0m. Now I've got the bug I might look at it in Mapmyride and RidewithGPS.

Its pretty flat in Mapmyride but Ride with GPS sort of agrees with the first two 396m of climbing 15.9% max. My guess out of all the sites Bikehike seems to be the most accurate.

How do you add bit maps?

How do you add bit maps?

Convert them to Jpegs. I 'open the file with' 'Paint' and 'Save As' a Jpeg.

I was going to say:-

But it seems its like this:-

Quite mystified at it all really...

Here's mine. Takes me 5-10 mins longer getting to work than coming home.

look at the scale though, 45 to 75 pretty flat

My scale is 0 to 35. It feels like this: __~_____________________________

it sure feels it too...

I can take the A316 part of the way and that adds a few nice drags up hill, but still, you can see why the ones who know me know I dont do hills...
