[DVBC] Road trip, anyone?

[Dave Hartrum]

One comment I would have on Bikely elevation profiles. The few times  
I have checked the route prediction with the GPS data from someone  
that rode the ride the Bikely estimate seems to consistently be  
significantly below actual. It certainly gives you a accurate  
indication of where the climbs are just don't count on the total  
elevation gain to be accurate.
