just curious..is the trail from Pleasant Hill to Windsor fairly flat? or what is the change in elevation?

I've only ridden from Pleasant Hill to Leeton. That section was very level. Much more so than the KATY. According to the internet the elevation of Pleasant Hill is 906 ft, and Windsor 912 ft. My brother and I rode from Clinton to Windsor on the KATY finding that there are long stretches of either slight uphill grade, or downhill.

I just rode from PH to Windsor and was surprised by how much elevation gain there was--1520 feet total in just under 49 miles. Most of it is between mp 20 and 35. Never steep, but there are some long stretches where you climb gradually for some distance.
