Could someone explain what exactly elevation gain is?I'm considering several rides in Wisconsin that reference it, I think I have an idea but would like to be sure. Thanks

Maximum % grade is the thing to worry (or get excited) about.

elevation gain in short is how much uphill riding you are doing throughout your ride.
