2025 holds many highlights to look back on, starting with @benhildred kicking off the year with a mission: to climb 10,000 feet per day for 100 days straight. It wasn’t so long ago that Ben was chasing the goal of an “Everest”, a now more common goal amongst cyclists to climb the height of the World’s largest peak inside of a 24-hour window. This did not satisfy. From there came the Stratosphere, Olympus Mons, Double Everest, and then 1 million ft in 200 days. In 2025, Ben raised the bar again: 1 million ft in just 100 days. We are always in awe. Ben rode a @santacruzbicycles Tallboy built with XX Eagle Transmission, Motive Ultimate and completed with @rockshox Lyrik + Super Deluxe Ultimate Flight Attendant and 250mm Reverb AXS.
