- A summary of the ups and downs of my very first vEveresting attempt on the Alpe du Zwift - as authentic as necessary, as crisp as possible. Thanks for all the positive and negative feedback :-)

just watched this again, so epic man, you should be super proud of yourself
Congratulations. Thanks for sharing your vEveresting experience. Really liked your commentary. Awesome.
Well done 👏
Well done man amazing effort. Giving me some confidence to try it this winter
Go for it! :-)
My hat is off to you. An amazing feat of cycling...
I rode 3 hours on zwift 2 days ago which was my longest ever indoors activity. I can't imagine everesting outside, let alone on a trainer :) My biggest accomplishment is 100 miles with 10k feet climb in one day outside before lol. Maybe it'll change. Collecting badges is fun.
Congrats!
Impressive. Rode on :-)
That was awesome and inspiring - well done! 👍
That is a top effort we’ll done mate 🤟
Good job! 12 h 20 min indoors would be too much to handle for me right now, maybe after 30-40 more training ascents and a couple of test runs with 3-5 ascents during my indoor season that starts in a couple of weeks or so. Two big thumbs up 👍👍
Thanks! Wish you all the best, go for it :-)
I will try it tomorrow in the evening. Thank you for your video
Good luck 😃👍🏻
did you get it??
@@8rk No, I did not finish it. I stopped my attempt at 5850D+. I will try again.
@@metallarofolk Still an amazing ride! Best of luck with the next attempt :) I'm sure I'll fail it a few times haha
@@metallarofolk Well done! You'll do it, I'm sure. Keep it up :-)
🐐
Thanks for the inspiration, i am doing a charity everesting in two weeks at the age of 13
It’s funny that you mentioned how 90 minutes up the alps after five attempts is horrible. And I’m here thinking about how 90 minutes is my PR on fresh legs😂😂😂😂😂
200 KM and 9000 meters elevation in a single ride activity ... i feel like lion of the jungle if I manage to do 1000 meters elevation in 2 hours
Silly but really great ride, Man! :) Big Respect!! Definitely it was a mental victory. It was worth such huge effort.
What was your trainer difficulty setting in zwift during this ride? what smart trainer did you use? what was the most used gear ration? what zwift frame and wheels you used? Really interesting to know :) Thanks!
Thank you, really appreciate your kudos! Silly indeed :-) Here's the specs of my used setup:
Trainer difficulty: 50%
Trainer: Tacx Neo
Most used gears were 39-25, 39-23 and 39-21, depending on the steepness of the climb; (I'm using an 11-28)
Used bike frame was the Canondale SuperSix EVO, which is only available upon reaching lvl 36
Wheelset was the Lightweight Meilenstein; However I suppose you can also use the Zipp 202 or any other 4-star weight wheelset.
Hope that gives a good overview over my setup.
@@MonstrMinion thanks, it is more detailed picture now :) I"m just curious is it possible to do vEveresting with trainer difficulty set to 100%, on a powerful trainer like Neo o Kickr... I usually train on my Wahoo Snap with difficulty set to 100% and it is really hard when climbing steep hills.
Your statement about vEveresting being easier than "normal" Everesting is just false. Sure you can take breaks, but so can you outside in between climbs. What makes vEveresting actually more painful is that the bike is just completely stiff and stationary, no micro movement to compensate or get into better positions while you ride. Also the massive amount of sweat / heat because of lack of real airstream. Both variants have their pros and cons, but there is no "easier" variant.
Thanks for the insights, kiform. This vEveresting challenge is my only experience, so I can't really compare. It was just my (maybe naive) assumption, that everesting IRL is even more demanding, than the vEveresting on Zwift.
Hugely inspiring!! Thanks you so much for sharing your experience. Well done for making it 👍👍👍👍👍
You're insane
