    Maybe Everest climbers need to spice things up by "olympusing" - multiple ascents of Everst until you have climbed 22,000 metres

    Needs modifying to account for gravity.

    I can't believe you didn't go and do an extra ~1300 feet last weekend, to do a non-repeating Everest ride. ;)

    You're probably going to tell me you've already done 24k+ feet in one ride now. :lol:

    I've still got a very long way to go on that front, managed just under 8900 feet on Friday, doing my first 100-miler.

    Nope, that was my longest and with the most amount of climbing ride I've done.

    I could have diverted to the Gospel Pass and racked up a few more miles and feet, but I was pretty wrecked by then and the last thing in mind were statistics... the full account is here:

    As for the guy on the Brompton... I met him at a 300 km Audax event last month... nutter, he holds the Guinness world record for the biggest number of consecutive Burpees

    ha ha... actually my XT rear derailleur is quite posh in that respect... the jockey wheels are mounted on bearings...
