I am just planning a multi day route but have one day where I just need to get from A to B.
One section of this day is about 50 miles. I have two options, one option is 6 miles longer but saves 1000ft of ascent.
Is there a rule of thumb covering miles v height gain as to where the benefit of one outweighs the other?
