A Century Around a Roundabout?

That's right, a cyclist in Black Diamond, Washington rode 100 miles around the roundabout near his house. Ride stats from Strava:
100.10 Miles
5:46:28 Moving Time
587 ft Elevation
More details from the Reddit thread:
0.17 miles per lap
~588 laps total
Why? I saw someone who did a double metric century around a roundabout and said to my neighbor that we should do a regular century around the one in our neighborhood and he said yes without hesitation
Didn't get dizzy, the oval was large enough that we weren't constantly turning left
1 bathroom break and a couple snack breaks
Went the same direction the whole time
A few neighbors ran a few laps and brought their kids out to cheer us on
We are only a little crazy

My idiot friends and I used to play a game we called "nascycle" where we rode around turning left (the only proper direction) in a tight circle on our bmx bikes. It was great fun. Cheers to the two heroes who accomplished this historic century!
