Am I at elite level? Break down my data/ power data

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I just watched a documentary about the Red Bull Trans-Siberian Extreme Challenge-- 9,105km, 77,000m of vertical, 25 days. In 2017, Alexei Shchebelin did it in 312h16m58s, for an average of 29.1kph-- that's 18mph. Average. He climbed a quarter of a million feet in 25 days.

One of the individual stages is 1,386km long.

That dramatically altered my impression of what is "elite."

Bikes: An old orange one for dirt, and for the other stuff: a white one, a kinda mint green one, and a black one.
