That's so sweet, Ryan! But, sorry, no. I'm taken. I'm sure one day you'll find that special someone to drope your hamer on.

So is that up and down the same overpass over and over again or is there more than one overpass in your area?

Amazing.......simply amazing. Anyway, an overpass is a bridge going over another road.

Nope, just checked Websters. According to them what you have pictured is called a "false flat".

Don't worry you would never see the top.

That is because there is no "top" to a false flat. You would think that coming from the "mountain state", home of the WV Mountaineers, and living in the Appalachian mountains I would have some idea of what a mountain is.
Oh by the way, I'll be riding the Cheat Mountain Challenge here in a few weeks, you should come. It would probably be a nice little warm up for you with it's 107 miles and 10,000 feet of climbing. I'm sure you would show the pro's how it's supposed to be done. It would be your chance to be recognized by some of the big boys and possibly signed to a team right away.

I see a gradual incline but where is the rest of it?
You should head to Bakersfield in October and ride the Hideous Hundred. You could dress up as Jan and scare children along the way. https://www.kernwheelmen.org/spooktacular-alone.php
It would be a nice easy change of pace for you.

Better yet, Ryan, next month is Cycle to the Sun on Maui. 10,000+ feet of climbing in 35.1 miles.
Race up the steepest road on earth, 36 miles through spectacular Haleakala National Park to the 10,005' summit on Maui. Hawaii's ultimate cycling event.

He's not, he's worried about attention.
