Is there a rule of thumb for miles to add to a trip for elevation gain, such as add so many miles per 1,000' of elevation? I believe I read some where else that there was such an estimate, but I forgot where. I'm brand new to all this, and I have an upcoming trip that's 188 mi long with an elevation gain of about 2,000', temp will be around 25º or so.. I think I'll be fine, but I'd like to get a better idea.
Thank you,
Tony
