I think we need to give credit to vanzweelism where it's due!

he definitely identified that this world record thing would be beatable.

 

and a whole host of okes have done just that!

i assume he's given up now that the record is 90mins lower than when he first started.

 

anywho, what's our boytjeeee been up to in the meantime?

it would appear he's on a diet..of sorts

Not that I watched the video, but surely you have to climb just as much as an eversting attempt to descend more than that?

The only real difference is that you do 1 less uphill rep. You start the ride at the top of the climb and end it at the bottom.

That was insane! There was sleet and snow involved

 

Yeah, one for the books!

Did a ride up and back down there a couple years back, that was enough.

This is just a classic case of why it's best to just do stuff. Without the 'look at me' fanfare.

 

When you say 'I'm going to.. blah blah' then don't, you are a twazzle.

 

Just do stuff and if you really want to be rad with strangers, post a video/rap/monologue of what you did.

 

This just pangs of attention seeking and failure

That is why this ride (and article) by Emma Pooley is so admirable:
