Good work dude. Machines.
Mads Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Well Done. I think this is one hell of a achievement. One thing that is impressing me is the fact that you climbed it at a constant effort and kept that speed during the day. Dit ..... wil gedoen wees. I think you will fly up hills in the future.

Sportsworld.co.za Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 It was absolutely amazing seeing these guys relentlessly conquering Malanshoogte in Durbanville, 64 times! It was an eye-opener doing the first 20 x repeats with them. Serious dedication, mental power and a touch of insanity to finish them all Definitely on the bucket-list. More updates here.

xCorWin Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Tweets starting to come thru.... Sani Pass is now on the everesting map! all 3 of them made it, in extremely cold conditions. Its epic... Underachiever and BigDL 2
Ryanpmb Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Tweets starting to come thru.... Sani Pass is now on the everesting map! all 3 of them made it, in extremely cold conditions. Its epic...Did all three complete it? I heard only the Dreyers did...?
xCorWin Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) I saw a tweet or two that seemed to say all 3, but then pictures later on with only the dreyers. So you may be right.Just Checked Kevin's strava, and I quote:"An amazing experience. My legs felt good for the first 3 laps but the rain and wind just froze me on laps 4&5, once my bibs and leg warmers were soaked the cold just went through my body. I couldn't stop shivering and I had to make the horrible call to throw it in, the hardest on-bike decision I have ever made.I am honoured that they let me ride the final lap with them today, and so so proud and amazed at their effort. I cannot describe the conditions, they made the 2014 Giro look like a Mediterranean cruise in the middle of summer. Martin and Jeannie deserve their reputation, they are incredible athletes and even more incredible people. Climb for Nepal was a success because of them."

Ryanpmb Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 I saw a tweet or two that seemed to say all 3, but then pictures later on with only the dreyers. So you may be right.Kevin pulled out at 4500m. The Dreyers completed the full fundraising challenge.
Spinnekop Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 One of the best in SA thus far!! Those conditions must have been horrible!!! xCorWin 1
xCorWin Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 One of the best in SA thus far!! Those conditions must have been horrible!!! Yeah! Have to agree. We were 'freezing' when we had to cycle in 3degrees... they were doing it IN THE SNOW. I know the overseas guys are used to it, but we are just not kitted for those conditions. Triple-Kudos to them for sticking it out. It is monumental. Spinnekop 1
nomoregravity Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Everesting planning starting for my second one...... DUM DUM DUM. Still twiddling your thumbs there, spinnekop? Will we see you in Gamkaskloof on 25th September? Everesting Die Hel. PM me your e-mail address - we're sending out invites this week :-) Underachiever 1
nomoregravity Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Sorry Spinnekop, private invites closed! Everesting Die Hel is now public domain: https://www.bikehub.co.za/index.php?app=hubevents&module=core&do=view_event&event_id=1891 A ride for the incurable romantics (it will be full moon after all) and nut-cases with no lives (with apologies to VicanZA above).
