Elevation Gain with Line Chart

 

The above chart and graph shows how the photo below relates to elevation increase along a linear distance. The photo is of Brasstown Bald in northern Georgia near Dahlonega.

Brasstown Bald has been the finish for several stages of the Tour de Georgia (no longer being held). Some of the professional riders who had ridden the Tour de France, the Giro d'Italia (Tour of Italy), and the La Vuelta Espana (Tour of Spain) said this mountain top finish was one of the hardest they had ever done, just a testament to the steepness of the mountain.
