Anyone fancy a go at riding up (and down) Everest (from sea level) in one ride?

This weekend someone did it in The Peaks - 44 times up and down Mam Tor

So who's up for it?

Saw this the other day- it's an interesting concept- will hopefully give it a go one day, got a few other achievements to get under my belt first though.

Personally, I'd rather be taken somewhere rather unfortunate by a wild stallion.







Ouch!!

Some quick maths reveals my local hill would take a hell of a long time to do this challenge:

114m gained, requires 77 ascents.
15mins avg to summit plus descend.
Total time not including breaks is 19hrs 15mins, so realistically a full 24hrs..

I think I'll pass on this one........

If you look at the website, a few UK riders have done it and taken all but 24 hours to do. Very impressive charity event though!

Not a challenge for us, we live in Norfolk and don't have anything much in the way of hills. My regular 15 mile loop has a whopping 124 feet of climbing, it would take forever plus a bit to do the Everest challenge.

Oh don't be so negative- to summit Everest on that route (not technically allowed but bare with) you'd need to complete it 235 times, this would only be 3525 miles and based on 15 miles per hour would be to 235 hours (obviously) which is just shy of 10 continuous days riding- get training!

I could do it over the course of a year
