Hmmm, cunning plan there Simon, use a site that shows a route without any elevation data and everyone will think it's flat.....
Unless of course, they remember these roads are used by the Vuelta, the Tour has paid the odd visit as well, David Millar and assorted other pros live/have lived in Girona.....I mght be wanting the Campag 12-29 cassette next year then.
Something similar has crossed my mind before (being as that handy ferry port a mile and a half away would be our departure point). Sounds good, lumpiness aside, which deters me about as much as it deters Adam (I can nonetheless hear the gnashing and wailing already from certain quarters).
Despite the (entirely understandable) objections, I think Olaf's Berlin idea still has considerable merit, though with hotel/B&B prices in the BRD being what they are, block bookings in youth hostels would probably be the only viable option. If we could make them all....
Might I suggest a bit of research is carried out on both suggestions, before any decision is made?
Edit: Martin beat me to it sticking it on RWGPS. Equivalent 42 climbs of Ditchling? Fun, fun, fun
Altitude and gradient would be more of an issue for me at least than the climb per se.
