Jack “UltraCyclist” Thompson had a mission to become the first cyclist to ride one million meters in a calendar year, which he accomplished, as well as setting a world record for the most elevation ridden in a single year.

It’s a pretty amazing feat, to say the least. So, just to be clear on how monstrous this effort is and give it some perspective; the top climbers of the Tour De France climbed a total of 48,530 meters in the 2022 Tour, take that number and multiply it twenty times over…which is still shy of Jack’s total. Crazy.

A typical Everest attempt is said to take around 12-14 hours… for a cyclist in “incredible shape”. Just so you know, there are a select few cyclists that are said to have completed the Everest goal in under 10 hours. Through his incredible cycling endeavors and numerous world records and world firsts, Jack has used his platform as a professional sportsperson to raise awareness and shine a light on those suffering from mental health issues.
