Climbing Over 11,000m In One Epic Ride | GCN Goes Trenching
Рет қаралды 399,574
4 жыл бұрынStep aside Everesting, we've got a new cycling challenge. Instead of climbing 8500m James took on the task of descending the depth of the Mariana Trench, the deepest known point on earth at 11034 meter below sea level. But in order to do it he'll need to CLIMB the same hill almost the exact same amount of meters as the rules are similar to everesting, And all for a good cause: World Bicycle Relief

Porlock Hill - ah memories from the early 70's of an Austin 1100 packed with luggage, mum, dad and little brother as we go off to Devon or Cornwall on holiday from Coventry. Traffic jams on the approach to it and overheated vehicles at the top. There'd allways be one foolhardy/stupid caravaner in the run off area too with steam/smoke coming out from the bonnet... Hank you must have been nuts to select this climb! Fairplay for completing it!

I rode this climb back in October when I was on holiday down that way. It came 40 miles into a 70 mile ride with 8k ft of climb, it is a brilliant climb, not sure if I'd fancy it that many times, mind. I did ride it a few times when I was down there though, loved it!

"Cyclists are advised to dismount." Okay for superhumans. Edited to add that I think you needed a 42 and not a 32.

No thanks the only time I'll dismount is on a gravel path and the terrain is too rocky/steep to pedal up. Otherwise the legs will will work, regardless of if they want to.

And she said that she also did that with insufficient gearing. A GCN tradition, perhaps? If you look Porlock Hill on Google Street View (2018 imagery), there is someone climbing it up on an MTB. He is on his smallest gear and it seems to be something like 22-50.

Oooops, no one took into account global warming and rising sea levels. Obviously the higher sea levels get then the deeper the Mariana Trench gets.
