Course elevation profile, 8× vertical exaggeration Elevation along the course from km 0 to km 16. The trace runs between 14 and 17 metres, a range of 3 metres, drawn at 8 times vertical exaggeration so the shape is legible. Smoothed over 1 km before this profile was derived. An unsmoothed urban surface carries the buildings and would assert a climb that is not there.
