If there is a ride back, it'll be all downhill.

Their summer project will be to ride 750 miles into a headwind  from sea level to 9000 ft. where, on a good day, the Centigrade and Fahrenheit scales converge.  These guys are planning to ride bikes to the South Pole.

They're raising money on Kickstarter. If you pledge $75, you can get a t-shirt.
