    22 seconds, wonder if they would have still been allowed to bring it to the next nearest docking station if their choosen one was full.

    :D

    Joking aside, great effort for a great cause.



    Just a shame they never got to ride back down.

    Ive been thinking about this video the last few days and telling a few cycling friends about it.Some have expressed doubts about it being done for a few reasons.The bike must weigh 25kg,its lowest gear wouldnt be that low,higher than 34-28 at a guess,and the rider is neither the slimmest/lightest or the youngest.Some of the lads think it would be hard going getting that bike up Sally Gap,never mind Ventoux.

    Yup, two years ago if recall right. Raised a load of money for charity in the process. Time might have been around 12-13h. He was in a good few news sites afterwards.
