Hueret. Or was that my rear derailleur.

Everesting in Holland? There are some steep hills in the Southern part near Belgium border? I was going to do Michael's "Race around the Netherlands" last year but we can guess why not. GL on the Everest. I think the most I did in one day was 26,000+ feet and 221 miles but I did get bit by a dog, slowed me down.
thankfully some dutch cyclists and possible math nerds did the calculations for a couple of places. so i do not have to do that on my own. if i remember correctly shortest distance came to about 250 km
