Everesting!
Since races aren't really happening right now, Everesting has become the new big thing.
Which got me thinking: Could one Everest on a track?
Assuming a track is 25 feet high, one could gain 50 feet each lap. That would mean you would have to do about 581 laps.
Assuming each lap is about 30s - we're not trying to set speed records here, that's about 5 hours of riding. A lot of time on the bike, yes, but about 2.5 hours faster than the world record currently held by Lachlan Morton.
And if you did it correctly, you could climb to the rail, cut the turn and go straight down to the sprint lane and use your momentum to go back up to the rail without having to work that hard. I'm thinking that a shorter steeper track, like the Lexus Velodrome in Detroit, would probably be the best option to do this.
Thoughts?
