Hmmm, I don't know. I just reran it again, resetting elevation. Usually that cures any hiccups. But it came back at 2507 ft for the same route. I'm looking at the climbs, and here's what I see:
250 feet from T1 to 64
Have not ridden in the park, but I believe the 3mi from T1 to US64 is a solid climb
180 feet over the next 10 miles
Once you cross the bridge on 64 it climbs decently to the right turn onto Beaver Creek. Then there are a couple of solid ups on Pea Ridge till the park entrance where Duke HIM used to start
Big downhill pretty much to the end of Pea Ridge
Start the long sucky uphill on Old 1 and climb 175 over about 6-7 miles
Pretty much a consistant uphill on old US1
100 feet of random ups and downs down by Harris Lake
250 feet of BIG climbs back up Avent Ferry (remember the backside of Triangle? Get to go reverse up those)
Pretty much what I think looks like the toughest 5mi stretch of the race once you cross the bridge over Harris lake until you get to Avent Ferry.
300-400 at least until about mile 48
Solid rollers on Optomist farm
Big downhill and big uphill about mile 49, about 100 feet
More big down and up on Lake Wheeler (around Yates Mill area), 100-150
Yep. Solid climb from Yates Mill pond up to Tryon Rd.
That only adds up to about 1700, but I'm sure I'm missing a lot of the 50-100 foot climbs.
I won't discount that 2500 feet until I ride the course.
Yep you could be right Bill. When you break it up like that.
