Story

Sadly I lost on great friend, and the world lost a great man, and more importantly we lost a top cyclist, when Andrew Flynn was stolen from us.

I'll always been grateful for the road bike, as it gave us the opportunity to reconnect and become great friends, like we were still at school. i will always hold the memory's we spend together, especially when riding full gas on the limit, which was the only way we could ride together. Andrew may be gone, but never forgotten. To pay tribute to the top cyclist Andrew was, and in honor of his riding style, I will take on a challenge that will push me above, and above and above my limit.

On August 5th, with my team mate Dan Benford, I will undertaking an Everesting Ride. What is an Everesting Ride?      

  • Climb the height of Everest 8848m (29030ft)
  • One hill, anywhere
  • One activity (ride), no time limit, no sleep.

We are tackling the climb to Boscastle in Cornwall, 42 times @ 8%, 140 miles, one ride (hours and hours (hopefully 12-15 hours).

This is going to be physically and mentally epicly tough, wish us luck Flynn, and enjoy watching me suffering.

Love you Andrew.
