Why elevation gain cannot be read in isolation
One thousand climbing metres over a smooth 100 km road ride is different from the same ascent on loose gravel across 45 km. The model combines the route with bike type, technical confidence, luggage and expected time.
Mapped data with a manual fallback
Automatic routing can estimate geometry, distance and elevation using open services. Every result remains editable because provider coverage, legal access and current surface conditions can vary.
Cycling route questions
Does the score include live weather or traffic?
No. Select the expected exposure yourself and verify current forecasts, closures and local traffic guidance separately.
Can I use it for an e-bike?
Yes. E-bike assistance lowers endurance and climbing load, while handling, surface, exposure and schedule demands remain.
