The fastest ever Everesting - Breaking a world record
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 мар 2021
- Six hours, forty minutes, and fifty-four seconds. That’s how long it took Ronan Mc Laughlin, a full time tech writer here at CyclingTips, a father and a husband, to ride the height of Mount Everest. He smashed the world record by nearly 20 minutes and lopped some 25 minutes off his own previous record.
How did he do it?
One of the benefits of having a CT staffer hit out at world records is that we get a bit of extra heads up. So we sent our own Phil Golston to Mamore Gap with camera to capture the effort, from bike prep to mid-descent tire explosions to an emotional finish. Catch it all in the film above.
Huge thanks to everyone involved.

Not only is he the Everesting record holder, but he's the only bloke from Donegal that anyone could understand!
I was gonna write “ah man the Scots are really a determined lot with all the endurance athletes coming out of there” but then I noticed it’s Ireland...
aaaaahahahahahahaha
🤣🤣🤣 His mum and wife were easy to understand. His dad though... 🤣🤣🤣
Will CyclingTips publish a version on English?
I had my subtitle on but I didn’t need it. 😆
“Morning Ride” 16:33
what a flex ✊🏼
Haha I thought the same thing :)
Thought the exact same thing haha
Not one kudos 😂
Humility 82% 😂
Wth, almost 300 watts for 7 hours, dude's a monster
Shout out to the organization system of Ronan's dad's desk. That's like how my brain works
glad I'm not the only one who works like this
I'm typing this from a similar looking desk. :D
@@brettm1501 my desk isn't too bad but my workshop is a tip but I somehow manage to get things done🤷🏻 there's a tipping point tho and when it's reached I do a big clear up
Hahaha totally noticed that too. Makes me feel better about my desk lmao
Loudly grinding beans at 6 am witht the certain risk of waking up everyone is dedication to your nutrition strategy 😂
I thought exactly the same thing. I’d be in for 3 days of misery if I did that.
Imagine what kind of time he would have done if he had done methamphetamines instead of coffee!
Coulda broken the 3 hour barrier!...and his heart muscle!
What nutrition strategy? :)
Coffee
I love that he has a great perspective on the whole endeavour, but his drive makes him go for it.
The mental focus on this guy is impeccable. Fantastic support around him too, so proud.
A remarkable ride by Ronan and a great production by CyclingTips. Well done!
What a video, really a step above. The interviews all are personal and honest, you can tell the love and how down to earth the whole family is.
Congratulations the whole team, and thanks for a stunning representation of Donegal and Ireland, land and people.
Have a listen on the 'endure' podcast. Even more detailing
This is absolutely mind blowing, it takes me 7 hours to get out the door sometimes, just amazing 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What a pleasure to see and hear such good bloke who seems “normal” even though clearly he is supernormal!!! Wonderful support form his family and friends made this record even sweeter and honestly give your wife whatever she wants and needs.She understands the addiction or accepts it anyway.One of the best cycling videos here
Like his confidence & humility...
Didn't have time to watch whole video...
Did he do complete Everesting in one continuous ride?
Thanks for sharing...
Watched video several times since...
Truly insightful...
Amazingly scientific in his approach...
Liked way he calculated:
* selection of course
** straight up & down
** no curves
* selection of rims
* selection of gears
* selection of brakes
* selection of handlebars
* shortening flat course to
reducing time, turnaround &
increasing speed down hill
optimizing round trip time...
I like fact he came up with thought & idea for having a bike specifically customized for Everesting...
I know I could not last that long in saddle / on bike for a grueling ride as his; ~ 14⁰ avg grade & 17⁰ & 23⁰ grade near top for 50% of total course...
Thanks for sharing
Nice to see your devotion to family and your little daughter. I'm sure she will treasure the shot of herself on the potty in 10 years or so. Congrats!
Astonishing!! I'm sure that record may stands for some time??? (How can some people give the effort/video a thumbs down)?? Well done Ronan.
Probably because some people are miserable gits who are jealous of other peoples achievements. I for one am proud to know he comes from Muff and that I regularly ride through Muff and no that isn’t a euphemism 🤣🤣🤣
i heard that about you darren. aka the governor 😂
His mom's accent is just perfect.
...what accent?....
I didnt hear any accents on this video.
Omg guys the production of this video is better than most dc movies.
Great to see behind the scenes. A fascinating and beautiful film. Kudos to Ronan.
Epic achievement, a humble and likeable chap, and an awesome film. Well done Ronan and team - super impressive!!
Brilliant video of an amazing achievement. Congrats all round!
What a great ride we’ll done Ronan, you have been a great addition to CyclingTips ,I can’t see this record being broken for a long time
Fantastic job, really enjoyed a truely honest video, congratulations on an awesome effort!!
Chapeau Ronan! An incredible feat and a brilliant video. Well done team.
Genuinely delighted for you mate. Massive chapeau. Ydeprecating
Congratulations, Ronan. Incredible commitment and performance, and a great video production to boot.
A legend! And some beautiful story telling in that video too. Thank you all for that!
Fantastic achievement Ronan, and so humble to boot! Great work on the video too 👌
Excellent coverage of a brilliant world record. Well done and congratulations Ronan. 👏👊👊
Fantastic achievement by Ronan, bravo! Great production too and I continue to enjoy your pods more and more, keep it up CT. :)
Holy cow! That's the inspiration I've been looking for. Fantastic job Ronan, and super humble about it too.
Absolutely fantastic. Awesome guy, awesome achievement !. Well done and congratulations Ronan.
Great account and doco of a truly awesome achievement. 😊 Love it
Ronan your a star. Way to go Bro. Fantastic video Cycling Tips!
Great video! Huge congratulations Ronan, what a feat of endurance & mental strength. Love the scene with your daughter and mum's voice-over after you'd accomplished it... 👏👏👏
Fantastic video guys...... I’m subscribed!!! 🇮🇪 are 🤴🏻 of the Everesting AGAIN 😍😍 Ronan is the new Irish cycling legend!!!
What an achievement,superhuman effort, absolutely insane,most people would be lucky rocking that once, congratulations well deserved 👍
Amazing, superhuman effort and more importantly, a really nice bloke. Well done!
Just amazing - this is incredibly inspiring. Congratulations from Tokyo!
Very interesting gear selection... Frame, stem, can imagine soon they're going to sell dedicated "Everesting" bikes
such a legend. the ride data is so consistent, right to the very end.
CT needs to start a gofundme for Ronan's wife! Hire Marie Kondo to come in and organize all of his kit, and give the poor gal her home back! ;)
Best suggestion yet, but more importantly it could fund a pain cave..... there must be a few minutes of savings from having a dedicated training space :)
True that!
Mamore Gap will become the Everesting ‘go to’ spot for the world! Awesome job Ronan. Perfectly planned and executed.
Super kudos..!!...this is one of those records/activities where the choice of location / hill is critical
Superb effort!! Congratulations Ronan!! Cheers!!
Ronan's Cat 🐈 was the real star of the video, as the cat was when Ronan used to commintate on the CyclingIreland Zwift Races.
Chapeau Absolutely awesome achievement 👏
Great video as well
Legendary effort Ronan! Congrats! 🍻
Great watch and a great effort. Well done on the record. Knowing you local conditions was a definite help so picking the day to do it was a master stroke 👍🏆
Kudos Ronan! What an epic effort👏
Awesome achievement. Well done Ronan 👏🏻💪🏻
Incredible! Congratulations Ronan!
This is hard core cycling!!! I loved the whole story.
Brilliant Ronan, congratulations!
Absolutely amazing physical and mental strength. Great video as well. 👍🏽👍🏽
Congrats Son, proud of you!! Enjoy your precious family they are your special Blessing 😊
I've actually tried it twice and have only gotten to about 16000 ft. This is simply amazing.
Congratulations!!! You deserve it. Great job.
Congratulations for a new world record,, cheers from the philippines
Technician, planned brilliantly. Great effort mate 👌🙌
Truly epic physical feat of both mental and physical endurance that deserves more praise and attention!
Awesome video! Well done!!
Love when a plan comes together, but to achieve that one needs total commitment, dedication and support from all involved, this milestone in cycling was accomplished by You Ronan and all your fantastic team, massive congratulations to you all, you've put your local climb, Mamore Gap & Donegal truly on the international cycling map, Chapeau Ronan 🚴
The way you held your daughter at the end, adorable
Massive congrats man!
Awesome effort Ronan! Can't see that being beaten for a long while. 👍👌
Damn. No words. Not sure I'd ride up that thing twice.
I hike up it occasionally which is tough enough…….
Simply amazing, great work. That climb is really good indeed for this challenge
very impressive performance Ronan, congratulations!
Thank you, Cycling Tips
What an absolute legend - fair play Ronan!
Wow, incredible, well done 👍
Great video
It’s such a pitty that we have to be in the current situation which was probably why they couldn’t announce he was doing it cause loads of people including me would have went out to watch
Exactly, that was super tough, knowing everybody who wanted to be there if i was doing it again yet not being able to have them there :(
@@ronanmclaughlin18 For your next challenge Ronan, how about the Race across America?
Making the near impossible look easy.
Amazing job.
Going up the steep side of mamore gap in the RAS 9 day bike race was mental, but going downhill was great and fast, well done Ronan.
congrats man, good effort
Good job, congratulations!
what an inspiring story, and what a ride!
Wonderful to see how much Ronan loves his daughter!
Brilliant Ronan! Believe it or not very inspirational as I’ve only recently taken up cycling. Makes my headwind struggles from Moville to Muff look a little tame but hopefully some day I might ride up the mamore gap “Once” 🤣
Great video, and amazing ride!
Legendary. I hope this record stands a while, maybe even a loooonngg time. It'll be fun to see all the attempts in the future. But this one seems really really to be a new high bar.
Not only is he the Everesting World Champion but an all round nice bloke too fair play Ronan Congrats
This is so awesome! Very inspiring. I think if I ever attempted an Everesting it would take me 3x as long, at least. Probably wouldn't do it on such an extreme bike either!
Wow, amazing, absolutely amazing, I’d have permanently been part of the road surface if I’d had a blow out while descending, mad respect! 🚴♂️🏔
76 laps, on a very steep climb... I cant even run on track for 1 hour straight, it wrecks my mind. And for cycling, i need the constant change of scenery. What a bloke with strong mind 👌🏼
Edit: AND HE HAS MORE CYCLING KITS THAN HIS WIFE HAS CLOTHES, im crying 😂😂😭😭
Awesome from all @Islandwheelers 👍👍👍
Way to go Ronan. Kudos to Giant for making such an excellent frame
So rad! Congrats!!
A fine new hero for a cycling. What an achievement!
Absolutely class performance from a class act congrats Ronan 👍
great production, subbed.
Amazing effort!
Fantastic effort!!
Incredible. Well done Ronan
Beautiful scene with his daughter. Well done, well done.
Adding two bottles for the way down. Genius.
PPPPPP 6 P’s taken to a new level - congratulations 🍾 incredible achievement - love to see the dedication that you put in .
Amazing work!!!
That time is going to take some beating, here's to hoping you keep it for a good while!
Chapeau, not only the time record, but using such a steep climb also.
Great video
