Strava Climbing Challenge – Climb Everest in 20 days or less

[50000tears]

Forgot I even took up this challenge but was reminded when I hit 75% today. Should be easy if the weather is not too cruel.

47% completed. it going to be hard

 

[moo]

Decided to take a few days rest and go all out on Sundays century. My feet/mile for November is almost double what I usually manage, and my legs know it.

69% so well on track providing I can get another 2-3 rides in. Loads of PBs so I guess the challenge is having it's desired effect ( I certainly won't be taking up their kind offer of purchasing the "limited edition $120 jersey" though)

I am not doing the challenge, but I checked back through a few 20 day periods this year and I often hit over 60% of that climbing without making an effort to put in extra hills. I can see that it would be difficult in a flatter area with long rides to get to decent hills.

Now on 112% with 5 days to spare. The benefit of living in a hilly area I suppose. Just did my normal riding.

none cycling day today so remain on 79%. Being an heavier ride im find this challenge hard work and wondering if its benefiting my cycling goals. Hay brow is a local hill with an height gain of 384ft with a KOM time of 5.02, my best time is 6.33 with an an average time of 7.20 . I started the challenge climbing it at 7.20 but that has dropped to closer to 10 mins while im doing hill repeats. I will complete the challenge if it kills me

If you rode up Ditchling Beacon three times a day you would have a day and a half to spare.

Local club did this in a day , nutters http://www.everesting.cc/

80% after a hilly 50 today. Couple more shortish rides should see me home. Weather looks OK for rest of the challenge

Yeah some guys in our club are proposing Everesting in a day using Bealach Na Ba - not for me though...

Completed the challenge yesterday. However I don't think I will be buying the special cycling top from Strava $75 plus shipping

No where near but I've only been commuting, thought I would breeze it as well.... But never factored in the weekends lmao

The biggest hill on my commute is Battersea Bridge. I think it could take me a bit longer than twenty days.
