@@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
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 :)
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.
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
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 🤣🤣🤣
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!
@@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.
@@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.
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 😂😂😭😭
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
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... 👏👏👏
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.
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. 🤣
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 🚴
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 👍🏆
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!
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” 🤣
I’ve recently entered cycling from running due to an ankle injury. I needed to get my cardio fix using a lower impact modality. The biggest thing that is driving me nuts about cycling is I think the same thing that I could love (obsess) about. Cycling has so much damn measurements, corrections, materials, mixed with buyers remorse. Running on the other hand is so more simple. Now to make all this make sense. Time to work in swimming so I can really get obsessed. An effort to use my body to the max before I die. I guess? Why?
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
Omg guys the production of this video is better than most dc movies.
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!
A remarkable ride by Ronan and a great production by CyclingTips. Well done!

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
The mental focus on this guy is impeccable. Fantastic support around him too, so proud.
Very interesting gear selection... Frame, stem, can imagine soon they're going to sell dedicated "Everesting" bikes
What a pleasure to see and hear such good bloke who seems “normal” even though clearly he is supernormal!!!

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!
Ronan's Cat 🐈 was the real star of the video, as the cat was when Ronan used to commintate on the CyclingIreland Zwift Races.
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 😂
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!!
Truly epic physical feat of both mental and physical endurance that deserves more praise and attention!
The way you held your daughter at the end, adorable
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
Congratulations, Ronan. Incredible commitment and performance, and a great video production to boot.
Mamore Gap will become the Everesting ‘go to’ spot for the world! Awesome job Ronan. Perfectly planned and executed.
Congratulations for a new world record,, cheers from the philippines
I've actually tried it twice and have only gotten to about 16000 ft. This is simply amazing.
Congrats Son, proud of you!! Enjoy your precious family they are your special Blessing 😊
I’m glad he mentioned the tailwind that was definitely the difference in setting the record 18 mile an hour tailwind.
No kom can be gotten without tailwind nowadays. Doesnt take anything away from his achievement

Making the near impossible look easy.
Amazing job.
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 :(
@@TheOptimisedCyclist For your next challenge Ronan, how about the Race across America?
Not only is he the Everesting World Champion but an all round nice bloke too fair play Ronan Congrats
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!!
Holy cow! That's the inspiration I've been looking for. Fantastic job Ronan, and super humble about it too.
Fantastic video guys...... I’m subscribed!!! 🇮🇪 are 🤴🏻 of the Everesting AGAIN 😍😍 Ronan is the new Irish cycling legend!!!
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... 👏👏👏
His mom's accent is just perfect.
...what accent?....
I didnt hear any accents on this video.
What an achievement,superhuman effort, absolutely insane,most people would be lucky rocking that once, congratulations well deserved 👍
such a legend. the ride data is so consistent, right to the very end.
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.
This is hard core cycling!!! I loved the whole story.
Wonderful to see how much Ronan loves his daughter!
Fantastic achievement Ronan, and so humble to boot! Great work on the video too 👌
Way to go Ronan. Kudos to Giant for making such an excellent frame
Super kudos..!!...this is one of those records/activities where the choice of location / hill is critical
What an absolute legend - fair play Ronan!
Chapeau Ronan! An incredible feat and a brilliant video. Well done team.
Damn. No words. Not sure I'd ride up that thing twice.
I hike up it occasionally which is tough enough…….
Is Mamore Gap going to be the Everesting equivalent of Aguascalientes velodrome, with riders flying in from around the world to make their attempts?

Just amazing - this is incredibly inspiring. Congratulations from Tokyo!
Kudos Ronan! What an epic effort👏
Adding two bottles for the way down. Genius.
Simply amazing, great work. That climb is really good indeed for this challenge
Brilliant Ronan, congratulations!
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! 🚴♂️🏔
Mild mannered news reporter by day; Superman by morning! He should also teach a Masterclass on humility!
Technician, planned brilliantly. Great effort mate 👌🙌
Incredible! Congratulations Ronan!
Brilliant video of an amazing achievement. Congrats all round!
Chapeau Absolutely awesome achievement 👏
Great video as well
Chapeau, not only the time record, but using such a steep climb also.
what an inspiring story, and what a ride!
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 👍🏆
Beautiful scene with his daughter. Well done, well done.
Amazing, superhuman effort and more importantly, a really nice bloke. Well done!
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!
Great account and doco of a truly awesome achievement. 😊 Love it
Legendary effort Ronan! Congrats! 🍻
Well done to him! Family is his no 1 support.
Holy crap that power chart is gross 350ish watts for 6 hours and 30 minutes while weighing just about nothing.
A fine new hero for a cycling. What an achievement!
Great video ! Congratulations to Ronan, family, and friends.
Incredible achievement Ronan.
Absolutely class performance from a class act congrats Ronan 👍
Good job, congratulations!
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” 🤣
Another win for Giant bikes and rim brakes!
Great... Congratulations everyone included...
Awesome video! Well done!!
The Fighting Irish!!! What an unbelievable achievement...

Ronan your a star. Way to go Bro. Fantastic video Cycling Tips!
Congratulations to all the family team.
Kudos for that Flandrienne t-shirt as well 🙂
Well done Ronan, incredible achievement. Will Malin to Mizen to Malin record be the next challenge?
Not wanna brag but i climbed 243 meters today..... ;)
You're the Real Deal😉
Haha when I climb over 400m it’s a good day baha
Congrats! Hope you descended 244m.
Champion
Just did a 94 km ride, 1800 meters.
Massive congrats man!
Well done so glad a Irish rider did it a great effort
You know what's cool about this? At the end of the day, he did it to leave a legacy for his daughter to look up to!
Ultimate reason.
Those hamstrings are INSANE.
