There is a very real chance I might not succeed at this challenge, but on Saturday 18th December 2021 I intend to cycle the height of Mt. Everest - 8848 m - in one activity, based on the following rules:

To be completed virtually on Zwift, riding repetitions of Alpe du Zwift, all recorded on Strava.

Direct drive trainer difficulty set @ 100% - 8% gradients should feel like 8%, unfortunately.

Must be ridden in one attempt, no sleep. Breaks are, however, permitted.

Must ascend and descend the same route - Alpe du Zwift in this instance.

This is all in aid of STAR for Harris, an amazing charity Supporting Treatment and Awareness Raising of childhood cancer.  Funds raised go towards experiences and opportunities for brave youngsters undergoing treatment and their families, as well as contributing towards vital research.

Please give generously!

If you would like to join me on a few laps of the Alpe on Zwift, please get in touch, as some company and pacing would be wonderful!
