  • Resumen

  • At the start of the global COVID lockdown, professional cyclists seemed to catch a bug for ‘Everesting’, the challenge to cycle a single hill as many times as necessary to accumulate the equivalent height of Mount Everest, or 8,848 vertical meters.

    Phil Gaimon brought it to my attention in May 2020 when he set the first sub-8 hour time in a world record he held for all of 4 days, before losing it to Keegan Swenson. By the end of July that same year, Keegan had lost it to Lachlan Morton who’d lost it to Alberto Contador who’d lost it to Ronan McLaughlin!

    So, in that regard, Warwick Gill was a man ahead of his time when, in 2012, he did a Kilimanjaro’ing.

    True, at 5,895m tall, Kilimanjaro is a chunk shorter than the ‘Goddess of the Valley’, but where the others rode lightweight carbon up the smooth tarmac of their local hills, Warwick had to get his 17kg trike all the way to Kenya, and then up some pretty rough dirt tracks to the peak of the mountain itself!

    In this episode of The Most Fun You Can Have on a Bike, I speak to Warwick about that ride up Kilimanjaro, about training low to the ground on Johannesburg’s sometimes chaotic roads, and about the value of chasing difficult goals.
