I’m not sure if this is the forum for this event, but I’m in awe of two friends (Brad & Josh) who are attempting to “climb” the equivalent of Mt. Everest on a bicycle.
They’ll be going up and down Normanstone/32nd (between Woodley Park and the National Cathedral) on Veterans Day (tomorrow). One hundred fifty-one times. Here’s 0.33% of the route:

They plan to start about 4 am and, if all goes to plan, ride until 9 pm.
I’m sure they wouldn’t mind a bit of company through some of the mind-numbing repetitions.
As inspiration, here’s an article about an attempt in Pittsburgh:

I went back after work and rode 6-7 more reps with them. Here they are refueling at about lap 114 with 50 or so miles to go.
I felt badly abandoning them, but am very pleased to hear that they made it.

Pretty freakin’ amazing feat, Josh and Brad!
