Stage Rating Scale

I am working on the race day guide book today. I remember quite a few people saying that they didn't feel some of the legs did not match up with the ranking of Easy, Moderate, Moderate/Hard, or Hard.

Here is a link to an old Blog with the most updated Maps of the course.

Would anyone like to chime in on how they feel what each leg should be rated. I base most of my ranking on elevation gain and very little on distance. Some people will say that stage 1 is way easier because it is 2.77 (6% grade in some sections and has a hill for 1.5 miles) than stage 4 because it is 5.00 miles (which gains maybe 20 feet).

Stage 1 2.77 H
Stage 2 4.19 MH
Stage 3 5.09 EM
Stage 4 5.00 EM
Stage 5 5.40 EM
Stage 6 4.70 MH
Stage 7 3.49 M
Stage 8 4.50 EM
Stage 9 5.41 EM
Stage 10 5.50 EM
Stage 11 3.00 H
Stage 12 3.59 M
Stage 13 3.91 EM
Stage 14 3.02 E
Stage 15 4.33 M
Stage 16 3.58 E
Stage 17 4.14 E
Stage 18 3.35 E
Stage 19 2.72 EM
Stage 20 2.95 E
Stage 21 3.64 E
Group 0.15 E
