Christian Completed the Rapha Rising challenge this week. What is Rapha and what was the challenge? Rapha is a company that makes clothing for cyclists. In honor of the Tour de France entering the Pyrenees and tackling a series of climbs known as the Circle of Death where competitors climb 22,575 feet. I think the tour completes this massive elevation climb in one day. This Rapha challenge was to climb the same elevation between July 15-22. Christian did a great job splitting his time between mountain and road bike and getting his elevation in in two less days than the challenge offered (the 15th and the 22nd were Sundays). Here are some of the fantastic pictures he took during his rides.
My brother is *intentionally* doing something meant to honor and replicate something called The Circle of Death?!?! :} Just kidding! He's got a lot of guts and it's great to see him pursue biking with gusto! Go, Christian, go!
