World Record Attempt

11/10/2015

 In New Zealand I'm really excited that I will (attempt) to cycle up the World's steepest street.
 
​  I intend on carrying all my gear to try to make The Guinness Book Of Records two ways, for carrying the most weight up Baldwin Street Hill on a bike.
  I will be also attempting to break the Guinness record fastest ascent by bike. I feel confident as I already raced up Filbert Street the steepest in San Francisco 31% . Yes this is what cyclists do like what climbers do surfers do etc go for the biggest steepest etc.

 Baldwin Street, in Dunedin, New Zealand is the world's steepest residential street, according to the Guinness. Its so steep they had to replace the asphalt with concrete because on hot days the asphalt melted down the hill
It is 350 meters or 1,150 ft long a slope of 1:5. That's (19° or 35%). That is, for every 2.86 metres travelled horizontally, the elevation changes by 1 metre.

                   My Journey

    I am a fire captain and cancer survivor.
    ​ I have now cycled around  the earth  by bicycle for cancer charity, but my journey is not over. I followed the rules of Guinness global 0circumnavigation. Same bike, same direction, cross two antipodal points, the equator and cover at least 29,000 km.  My final legs were crossing Australia north to south and east to west across the deserts bringing the total countries crossed to fifteen and a distance of 29,000 km over 10 years. The journey now continues to the most desolate and highest points of the earth.  email:
