Diversion: Cycle Climbing, the McMurdo-South Pole Highway, etc.
Many moons ago I wrote a piece for Men's Journal -- yes, that's just the kind of renaissance guy I am -- on the joys of cycle-climbing. I had originally planned on chronicling my effort to do the equivalent of the Seven Summits of biking; that is, chronicling summiting on bicycle the highest road on all seven continents. (Yes, there is a road on Antarctica.) That didn't work out, so I wrote a general thing about anaerobic hill-climbing efforts instead.
Anyway, I got to thinking about cycle-climbing today when reading the excellent NYT "The Climb" blog about one journo's training to do L'Etape du Tour. I am so-oooooo envious.
