Does doing it to yourself count? Google Maps is 2D, and reality seems to prefer up-and-down.
I once made a left instead of a right one afternoon "just to see what was over there," and doubled the day's elevation gain in like 4 miles-- about 30 miles from home.
I'd never laid eyes on Torrey Pines before, and hit the base of at at mile 140 of a 157 mile journey of nonsense.
Rather than driving out to Glendora to do GMR, I rode 40 miles out there, climbed 6,500ft, then rode 40 miles home. On the 4th of July.
I do not make good decisions.
