The fastest ever Everesting - Breaking a world record

[@TomChard]

Not only is he the Everesting record holder, but he's the only bloke from Donegal that anyone could understand!

[@sisaktamas]

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...

[@protokolarac]

aaaaahahahahahahaha

[@dtmateo]

🤣🤣🤣 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. 😆

Shout out to the organization system of Ronan's dad's desk. That's like how my brain works

[@jacobsack]

glad I'm not the only one who works like this

[@brettm1501]

I'm typing this from a similar looking desk. :D

[@jacobsack]

@@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

[@MrHector1006]

Hahaha totally noticed that too. Makes me feel better about my desk lmao

[@datdudeinred]

Omg guys the production of this video is better than most dc movies.

[@eto2352]

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! ;)

[@TheOptimisedCyclist]

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 :)

[@supernpstr]

True that!

[@conorverbruggen5133]

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.

[@weewilsy]

Have a listen on the 'endure' podcast. Even more detailing

[@rosscads]

A remarkable ride by Ronan and a great production by CyclingTips. Well done!

[@richardharker2775]

The mental focus on this guy is impeccable. Fantastic support around him too, so proud.

[@jeremyallen5056]

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

[@Rakonzi]

Loudly grinding beans at 6 am witht the certain risk of waking up everyone is dedication to your nutrition strategy 😂

[@Fixin-To]

I thought exactly the same thing. I’d be in for 3 days of misery if I did that.

[@marcalvarez4890]

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!

[@RazvanPopMM]

What nutrition strategy? :)

[@flxgreen6346]

Coffee

[@Requiredfields2]

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!

[@SteveBrill]

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.

[@sixwestpoint]

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 🤣🤣🤣

[@lothburke2243]

i heard that about you darren. aka the governor 😂

[@richk755]

Epic achievement, a humble and likeable chap, and an awesome film. Well done Ronan and team - super impressive!!

[@oldmanbreezer]

Great to see behind the scenes. A fascinating and beautiful film. Kudos to Ronan.

[@Thankful_n_Grateful]

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

[@JohnPaulYT]

Truly epic physical feat of both mental and physical endurance that deserves more praise and attention!

[@db613]

Very interesting gear selection... Frame, stem, can imagine soon they're going to sell dedicated "Everesting" bikes

[@LukeGJPotter]

Ronan's Cat 🐈 was the real star of the video, as the cat was when Ronan used to commintate on the CyclingIreland Zwift Races.

[@richcrompton6891]

Mamore Gap will become the Everesting ‘go to’ spot for the world! Awesome job Ronan. Perfectly planned and executed.

[@dylanmd7917]

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

[@TheOptimisedCyclist]

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 :(

[@dignamshane]

@@TheOptimisedCyclist For your next challenge Ronan, how about the Race across America?

[@gregbianchi2689]

I've actually tried it twice and have only gotten to about 16000 ft. This is simply amazing.

[@ronanmac]

Congratulations, Ronan. Incredible commitment and performance, and a great video production to boot.

[@rserton]

His mom's accent is just perfect.

[@marcalvarez4890]

...what accent?.... I didnt hear any accents on this video.

[@rudyelizondo1935]

Congrats Son, proud of you!! Enjoy your precious family they are your special Blessing 😊

The way you held your daughter at the end, adorable

Fantastic video guys...... I’m subscribed!!! 🇮🇪 are 🤴🏻 of the Everesting AGAIN 😍😍 Ronan is the new Irish cycling legend!!!

[@danproposkanovovski]

A legend! And some beautiful story telling in that video too. Thank you all for that!

[@srh148]

I’m glad he mentioned the tailwind that was definitely the difference in setting the record 18 mile an hour tailwind.

[@cypriano8763]

No kom can be gotten without tailwind nowadays. Doesnt take anything away from his achievement

[@steviett7734]

@@cypriano8763 Exactly,do you remember the 100 miles in under three hours. The fella who broke that record, needed assistance of a tail wind . It does not takeaway from the enormity of the achievement.

[@cypriano8763]

@@steviett7734 aint no point in even going for koms with a headwind. Its just part of the game, just like having a light bike and the right psi in yer tires. I dont see a problem with it. Drafting a vehicle or other riders that would be crossing the line in my opinion.

[@steviett7734]

Fantastic achievement by Ronan, bravo! Great production too and I continue to enjoy your pods more and more, keep it up CT. :)

[@firsthippy]

Is Mamore Gap going to be the Everesting equivalent of Aguascalientes velodrome, with riders flying in from around the world to make their attempts?

[@aidankenny8550]

Extemely ulimikely, Rural roads in Ireland are attrocious when compared to mainland europe and the USA that gritty tarmac surface would have cost him a minutes on descending. Which makes this all the more bonkers.

[@sixwestpoint]

It’s in the middle of nowhere and likelihood of a sheep based collision is very real and those deckers don’t move for anyone no matter who you are or what you’re doing 😂. Fantastic video. Would also like to point out that the rural roads in Co. Donegal are significantly better than the bloody main roads in the north. 🤣

[@caperider1160]

This is hard core cycling!!! I loved the whole story.

[@paulodonoghue8866]

Not only is he the Everesting World Champion but an all round nice bloke too fair play Ronan Congrats

[@cremenivea6282]

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 😂😂😭😭
