Update:

The Everest Roam documentary is now live on the Dialed Health YouTube channel. Check it out here:

Ever wonder what it would be like to climb Mt. Everest on your bike? What about doing it twice?

These are both things our friend and strength training aficionado Derek Teel has wondered and actually accomplished. Once a year, he dreams up a crazy challenge that will test his mental and physical strength, his bike skills, and his emotional resolve.

Embracing the Challenge: Derek's Everest Roam Adventure

After completing an Everest by performing repeats on the same hill, and then last year completing a DOUBLE EVEREST (seriously!) once again performing repeats on the same hill, Derek came up with the (type 2) fun idea of completing an Everest within a single route where no hill repeats would be completed. With more of an ode to adventure, Everest Roam was born!

Derek spent months dialing in his fitness and nutrition, and mental fortitude. As 2023 ticked on by, he set a date of September 22nd, and the planning began.

Fueling Adventure and Innovation: The ALMSTHRE Spirit

At ALMSTHRE, we dream of adventure and the unknown. We constantly strive to find our limits and push a little bit further. As soon as we met Derek, we knew he had the ALMSTHRE spirit. He told us about his planned adventure, and we immediately knew we needed to do everything we could to make his day a little bit easier and more comfortable. We got him an assortment of our best products, including some new items that haven't been released to the public yet. We figured this was the perfect moment to get some final feedback on some new products.

Team Best MAAP Equinox ride: "A Million Feet, One Smile at a Time"

The goal was deceptively simple: as a group, climb 1,000,000 feet in a single day on San Diego's Mt. Soledad. At first glance, it might sound monotonous or downright tedious, but scratch the surface, and you'll find an endless maze of roads winding their way up to the summit. The real kicker? No matter which route you took, each lap only netted you a mere 700-1,000 feet of elevation gain. A million feet? Yeah, it was a grind—but somehow, everyone did it with a smile.
