Do you think anyone can go under 7 hours for everesting?
@adamj2562 3 жыл бұрын
Yes.
@mateagoston8145 3 жыл бұрын
Of course, if they are lucky with having a strong tailwind uphill then I guess a couple of cyclists would be able to go under 7 hours. I still don't really understand why I have never seen an everesting video where they would have mentioned wind strenght and direction however I think it plays a huge role.

Yes, I do once the optimum logistics are worked out. Be a great topic for an Ollie Tech video- choice of hill, gearing, bike choice, temperature, nutrition, training. This was a super gutsy attempt- well done getting it finished once the record slipped away. Now, can someone explain why these hugely talented cyclists, with access to any gear they want, consistently choose the wrong gearing? It's become like a GCN trademark. There is 0 advantage to having higher gears for an event like this, and a considerable advantage to having one low enough. Can someone explain this please?

@padkinson 3 жыл бұрын
Cracking effort Max! Strange to think that earlier this year I was gunning for the British record at 10 hours, the progression has been insane. I found the exact same thing with the gearing, something that felt absurdly easy during the first half had me weaving up the climb by the last hour. Once Pogacar has won everything else he should have a go and see where the limits are.

I completed my Everest ride just over a week ago, and it was amazing. I picked a climb for the scenery, riding my favorite local hc climb. Very technical descent, so I had an excuse when I didn't break the world record 😀. I absolutely loved the experience, and was proud to have something in common with Ollie 😀.

Wow! I just did an Everesting - 82.3 ascents of a local hill for charity - I’ve biked for nearly 50 years, Ironman, Marmotte, 3 peaks CX and this was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Emma Pooley said she liked it because it’s a challenge for anyone- elite or average. Until you’ve done one I’m not sure you can appreciate just how hard it is- so this ride just blew me away and 7.00 hours can definitely go - probably by Max if he goes again.
