Have you tried the recalculate elevation option on strava. Should rectify any issues

Hello BigDL

My Laptop doesn't have a Option to Recalculate only Distance correction.

Well done sir David, you've almost made your 24hr deadline, but I would've been dead before the line if I had to do this killer of a expedition.

It seems he didn't make the Everest record let alone his 24hr target. He needed to do 20 rounds and only managed 14 according to the posts. Not sure if I missed anything. Still a MASSIVE long ride.

 

 

Sorry, my bad. in post number 159 it seems he did make it but not under 24hrs. Well done FRAIL.

If it has it, it will be where my dodgy arrow is pointing .

I hate to be the bad guy here, but I'm confused.  Why did you stop at 14 laps?  All of the calculations beforehand showed that you'd need to do 20 laps to get to the Everest total.  Unfortunately no amount of Strava elevation fixing is going to add the missing 2400m needed.  Your Strava ride is pretty close in terms of true elevation gain.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it's a big ride, not an Everest one.

I think the reason he stopped was because he was going for 25h. A mammoth effort, but still 2395m short. A good thing actually, just shows what an achievement Everesting is. Well not according to the vegan.

Agh man that’s a pity

I’m sure Frail will give it another go some time soon...

I am also confused... Great ride either way, for a good cause. Edited April 29, 2019 by Thor Buttox

Makes sense - thanks

I asked Paul and he says it must have been the choice of gears...

 

Amazing effort to keep at it for 25 hours - you deserve all the contributions received (and more!).

I dont know how correct this INFO is.

According to the "EVEREST CALCULATOR".

 

Proper Bainskloof, Wellington WC South Africa
View on Strava » LAPS & DISTANCE

Total Laps 8.7 Lap Distance. 24.8 km, Total Distance 216.9 km

ELEVATION INFO

Total Lap Gain 1012 m Avg. Gradient 3.4%
Ascent Gain 719 m

 

I got led to believe as to the "Everest calculator" I had ridden more than enough to reach an Everest elevation.

Not sure if it might have anything to do with me Recording my ride on a Phone.

Hi David,

 

My utmost respect for the work you do and I will always wish you well, but the top of Bainskloof is 594m above sea level and you start at about 150m approx, so something seems wrong somewhere.

 

12.4km at 3.4% is also 420m of climbing.

 

Hope I am horribly wrong though!

 

Good luck.
