jcza Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Anyone have the stats for the Gabema Doordrift climb in Paarl (Taalmonument tar road from bottom to gate? Although, the road does have one dip in it, so would that disqualify it from an Everest attempt? P.s. I'm not thinking of doing it (duh!). Just curious. 2.6km194m8%
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 2.6km194m8%46 repeats, 119.6km. It'd be brutal
TDK Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 WELL DONE!! As mentioned before, this is the LAST hill I would think of everesting! Good job mate
paul.esson Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Could have been on leave? Who cares if he has a day job?LOL, thanks for all the comments my fellow chapeaus. I will never be the fastest or most talented but I have a heart and lungs that any medium sized elephant would be proud of, so endurance is my thing! Yes, I have a job at Fine+Rare in London, but wifey and I are on our first holiday without the kids (x3), back in Hout Bay for a 10 day holiday/Argus/Everesting in the heavenly place/town/city that was our home between 2007 and 2012 and will always be where the heart is.

Couldn't believe it when Don started posting the pics to his news feed. A truly stellar feat for a normal joe. That couch must have been bliss!
paul.esson Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Wow. That is properly brilliant, stupid, awesome, painful to think about, legendary, retarded and long... 17hrs... 71 times... that is a lot. Wonder what his recovery ride tomorrow is! Just an hour on the FLAT: https://www.strava.com/activities/266341009
DJR Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Hi Paul Please tell us more about your preparation and how it went with the actual attempt.
Marius Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I thought the battery life of a Garmin Edge 810 was less than 12 hours?
Marius Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 after 17 hours and the battery icon shows it's only on 50% ? huh
