Last week I had a good amount of climbing getting ready for the Everest Challenge this coming Saturday/Sunday. This brought my total climbing on my bicycle to 513,000 feet so far this year, which is nearly 100 miles vertically. Here is a chart that shows how I did compared with last year. The flat portion in the spring was due to training for the Boston Marathon. (click chart to enlarge)

Because I had signed up to do a two man team for the Furnace Creek 508 this year in October, I had thought about waiting until next year to do the Everest Challenge, but with all the climbing I have been doing, I decided this was the best shot I would have. By the end of this month I will reach the 100 mile mark.
