Grand April Fool is no joke

A Singaporean woman has just spent one month in the Napa Valley, USA, riding a bicycle for the title of Grand April Fool. She was taking part in the 2009 April Fools Challenge - and that is no joke. Iris Set covered a total of 804 miles (around 1300km) in that month, climbing 10706 feet (3.2 km). Thats almost halfway up Everest if you added everything up. In total, the event inspired riders to ride almost 10000 miles, and raised over US$5000.

See Biking Fools website for information. A local newspaper also published a report about it.
