Show Notes

In recent years many cyclists have challenged themselves in an event known as 'Everesting'. The idea is fairly simple- you attempt to climb 8,848m on a bicycle in one ride. Simple, yes, but not easy by any stretch. However, this challenge can be completed with the right knowledge... and a lot of grit!

So, a few years after Cyrus completed his first (and last) Everesting - we sit down with him and discuss everything you'll need to complete a successful Everesting.
