Great stuff of course!
The total ascent he's doing .......... according to the news report ................
That's 320miles a day and climbing only 8,000ft = 25ft per mile.To break Mr Thompson's record, Mr Quigley aims to cycle a daily average of 320 miles.
He will do this by cycling four laps of an 80-mile route between Aberdeen and the Cairngorms that will take in Peterculter, Banchory, Aboyne, Ballater and Balmoral Castle.
He will burn 15,000 calories each day during the challenge, which will see him climb 8,000ft a day.
I don't blame him in the slightest for picking a route as flat as possible, but can that listed route be only 25ft per mile?
