So The Age is onto it
Not sure which is crazier…8 times up Buffalo in a day or 328 times up Anderson St?
i love that the story was in the ‘executive style’ section…
LOL yes.
All the non-militant cycling articles are in the Exec section. 9000m? I’m looking at 900 trips up one road near me. Pass.
all i could think of during this article was A. Bird riding up Ruckus Hill 450 times.
Mt Cootha and Mt Gravatt in Brisbane have both been done.
Yeah coot tha was done years ago.
Alberto!

Back of envelope calculation suggests to Everest the Kew Boulie in 7.5hrs you’d need to do an out and back lap in 9 minutes.
wot is this in relation to swuzzle
did not berti do it to it in under 7.5hrs?
Yer 7.5 is roughly the record.
I was wondering if an undulating segment like Kew Boulie might have enough vert gain and could be done at high enough speed.
Alas nowhere near it.

Sorry guys
The King is dead. Long live the King.
The Everesting record recently set by Alberto Contador has just been toppled by Irish cyclist Ronan McLaughlin.

.
Got hungry and chewed his bars?
this is the collab of UK/Irish hill climbing culture and Everlasting. Arguably quite cursed.
Pretty interesting article on Ronan’s bike: 6.2 kg, three gears and cut-off drops: The bike used for the Everesting record - CyclingTips
I’m about as far from a weight weenie as you can get, but I kind of admire the DIY approach he took to shaving off the grams.
