Subject: "double" IRONBIG on Pannonhalma (202 km + 6592 m) Sat Sep 22, 2012 7:06 pm
When I realized that it can happen that someone can get the level of IRONBIG with only ca. 4 hours of cycling (while others choosing a serious climb has to climb75 hours in a year and more than 20000 m heightdifference) I decided to do a "double IRONBIG" at Pannonhalma to express my opinion that getting an IRONBIG for 1650m heightdifference is a "joke" (sorry, but my opinion is that) and isn't similar performance than those performence with 50-70 hours of climbing for 1 IRONBIG title. I think for an IRONBIG there should be a minimum heightdiff level (for example 3000 m) if it is 1 day version. ) On 16th JUne 2012 I cycled 202 kms + 6592 m heightdifference by my touringbike to show a really manful performance. The video shows the history of this day (with Vili who did 25 climbs) from sunset to the night, to my heightdifference record

It is sometimes harder to climb 25 times the same BIG in a day then in a year !
