THE BIGGEST CLIMB WE'VE EVER DONE (Tanzania K2N Day 2 - Kilimanjaro)
Can't wait for Day 3? Watch it right now on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/106882405
Today is the infamous Kili day of the K2N stage race, and we'll be doing the longest continuous climb we've ever done. That's right, 7,000 feet (2134 meters) over 21 miles (34 km) up the side of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak. And with our teams turning out to be surprisingly well-matched, it's going to be a battle the whole way.

This fall, we're signed up for a 100-mile mountain bike race that bills itself as the hardest single day race in America...the Marji Gesick.

You needed a piece of Velcro on the towie and maybe your bike or shorts to make the pass off between your legs one handed and much easier.
Great race so far, Cheers
looks like prime gravel bike riding ;)
Great Team work 💪🚴🚴😎🚴🚴 🏴🏴👌
Simply amazing and on my bucketlist!
one word "phenomenomenomenomenomenomenal". thanks soooo much for sharing!!!!! 🙂🙂. We can only hope days 3 - 5 make you work hard. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow this was crazy, but that guy who ran up with the bottle, WOW!
Incredible race! I can’t even begin to imagine what it’s like racing that terrain at that altitude…hats off to you all.
Wow, just wow. Good on you all.
The stuff you guys ride on a fox 34 is incredible to me
That's a incredible effort by all. Its no joke doing 3-4 hours climbing on that terrain. Well done guys!
You guys KILLED IT! Great job❤💯
I've climbed the mountain, the terrain looked very familiar. The Shira plateau is camp two (of five) and you were very close to Shira campsite.
Fabulous effort by all. Loving this race.
Just......WoW!!!
"Liking" this video is such an understatement - FAAABULOUS!!
Love to see the team aspect with you guys, I’ve been to Africa twice in that area on safari and i sure wish I’d had the chance to ride my bike while over there. Thanks as always for sharing your adventures you are all amazing !!!
This is just showing me i don't need a E-Bike i just need a Macky and a tow line 😄
Great work everyone
AMAZING!
So glad you guys got good weather! Really cool to see what it's like up there (turns out you can see whats coming!) Also somewhat of a relief that even you guys found it difficult. :)
Yeah, your run of that stage last year couldn't have been any more cursed from a weather standpoint.
I was thinking of the conditions you guys had last year and was wondering of you were watching this. Talk about complete opposites
Incredible!! My hat is off to Lo, lo, through the pain and suffering of that 3 hour climb, pushing your limits, I love your beautiful crazy optimistic but still hilarious sarcasm. That is so my style when I'm in pain, cracking jokes to take mind off of it. Mackey, the bike mule carrying both bikes to save Lo's legs and retain the energy for the decent. Can I say the brake slide at the end was pretty cool, too!! The block strategy by Joe and Syd was classic to start. Syd, just a quad cramp, but I'm good. I'll keep pedaling!! You 4 are amazing, and what an adventure of a lifetime to tell stories about for years to come.
OMG!! That looked sooo brutal. Even the decent was hard. Y'all are tougher than a $2 steak!! Much respect!! Look on the bright side, at least you don't have to do that one again. 😁 Hopefully the next stages will be a lot more fun riding and less climbing. Best of luck and I'll catch ya on the next one. ✌️Out.
Thank you for doing these incredible adventures we get to enjoy!
That’s just looks awesome.
What bikes did you ride?
That big girl is a effing hero.

Insane effort by all parties
I would be interested in a towy, but my 8yo is already dropping me on accents.
Your 8 year old can tow you up the hill.
Mackey is an absolute beast. Just casually passing others on a 7,000’ climb while towing.
Meanwhile, I do a single 500-foot climb and go into respiratory failure 😢😂😂
I was just coming to say this!!!
Incredible!
For sure and then caring both bikes, making it the whole climb in tow without farting on Lo even once and being a constant source of encouragement etc. this guy is the goat of beast.
The upside of riding above 12k is you Always get great views above the treeline
Cool sunglasses syd..... the brand are?

R U planning to catch the Tour of Rwanda? Plus there’s a zip line at Victoria Falls Stay safe
Amazing that you guys kept riding most of that chunder. Wow! What a course.
A great video that deserves a ton more views!!!!!!!
Use it the same on my road bike... Like it👌
Wow Wow Wow! This is just plain fun to watch. The team match up is pure entertainment. I was waiting for Macky to slingshot Lo in the mud or Lo to pull Macky over. Great riding by all.
That elephant saw white people and said, "oh hell nah not today!" 😂
<3 18:20 Joe has a Spurcycle bell!
Awesome!! I need a tow rope 😊🎉
So impressed with Lo and Joe, both very strong "amateur professionals". Syd and Macky are simply in the pantheon.
I wish I had a Macky to tow me😊
If you see an elephant, you need to cycle for your life. Quote of the day!
The energy balls sound delish!! Can we have the recipe or a video?
Macky deserves a medal, he had the toughest job out there. It's tough enough looking after yourself in a race, let alone towing someone else 👏👏
Are you thinking of the Tour of Rwanda?
Battery dies out in the middle of a race and the guy with the tourney mechanical groupset leaves you behind... Opsieeee!!!
WILD.... literatelly
When the cost of a bike manufactured overseas approaches the cost of cars one has to wonder what's going on.
Welcome to Africa guys, great footage 🙌
