I'll give you the chance to summit Mt. Doom for only $2K per person, and I'll throw in a delicious post-ride feast at Wendy's. You can do it on a Sunday and be back home the same night.

There are no guarantees of course. Many Freds have met their fate on the slopes of the Col du Doom. But it's a personal challenge I'm more than willing to help some of you experience.

Discuss.
