Years ago there was an event called the Mountaingate Century to promote RAAM. I don't know if anyone finished it but it was 50 times up and back for 100 miles and 35,000 feet. It's 1 mile from bottom to top and gains 700 feet so I don't know why the numbers are so different there (wiki). Maybe they just did part of the ramp.

Looks like they didn't go all the way up to the T-intersection with Canyonback, if that's what you're talking about.

Everesting has to be up and down a segment, and recorded on Strava. You need to pick your route carefully, because you don't want a nice long climb that will gain you 3k per rep, simply because the descent ends up taking too long. Fatigue for most humans is real, and reducing the time on the bike is a very important consideration.

Nah, I can cancel anytime up until my build date comes up. Then, I have to poop or get off the pot. My son owns a Tesla 3 and has been through this. There's a good chance that I'll cancel my order when the time comes but who knows...

Have you checked to see if the bed is long enough for a tandem?

That would be good for climbing the highest peak in Florida. Or Britton Hilling, as some call it.
