British cycling star Mark Cavendish and former teammate Luke Rowe endured over 10 hours in the saddle of an exercise bike to climb 8,848 metres, the equivalent of scaling Everest.
"Just Everested, vEverested, whatever you call it, with @LukeRowe1990," the 34-year-old Isle of Man-born sprinter announced on Twitter.
The pair accomplished the latest homespun feat by a sports star in coronavirus lockdown in 10 hours 37 minutes and 32 seconds.
After the 211 kilometre virtual ascent he added: "We had the idea when we knew the weather would be bad.
"I take my hat off to anyone who's completed it in whatever capacity, it was grim."
