Very, very cool!

I did a little under 300m (964feet) Saturday and was pretty tired. This is many levels above that.

That is really impressive!
I didn’t join this challenge because I knew I had to train for long distances on flat, and ended up doing half the ascent targetted by those guys.

Here is a good summary of the event, which includes hours riding time.

I think the results from the event was quite dependent on time available as much as hill climbing ability.
Speaking for myself, I had an advantage because I had hills in the streets of my neighbourhood that I could ride to and hill climb.
