Everesting riders in South Africa!

Recommended Posts

Seems like 4 of the young guns at UCT cycling managed to get an Everest climb ride in yesterday! The very impressive ride was a 24 times hill repeat of the Glen all the way up to Signal Hill and back, which took 17 hours to complete, that equaled 304km of total distance in order to get the 8862m of vertical ascent in one ride!

Yoh, hardcore has just been tamed! MASSIVE RESPECT!!!!

Yoh-yoh, would be hard pressed to find something in Bloem to do that and not ride it almost 100 times at least.

 

Well done to the riders!

Some stuff on FB and twitter. Check for #everestingchallenge

You got a direct link maybe? everestchallenge is quite generic with all sorts of altitude events including running up stairs (who in their right minds will do that?!)

RESPECT!!! Did they split the distance or did all four accomplish it?

 

They each rode all of the 304 clicks and all individually climbed the 8862m of vertical climb. Started around 3am on Sunday morning and finished their last loop around 8pm on Sunday night.

Most of it is on private FB profiles.post-1208-0-53572400-1410247900_thumb.jpg
