that fatcyclist, for the 100 miles to nowhere some woman rode an 8.7% grade 1 mile hill 48 times.  she failed the 100 miles. 

 

i'd never do that.  wouldn't even entertain such idiocy.

 

200 miles in one day across relatively flat land wasn't fun, and thats only climbing 7 mountains, the first two aren't very long, the last one isn't very long, and the middle 4 aren't very easy, at least 4 or 5 miles on 2 of em. 

 

i'd tell anyone thinking about 1 mi 8.7% 50 times, "have fun" with a big cheery attitude
