New Hope’s Everesting Cycling Fest is an official Global Everesting Event.

And you get to do that while raising money for a great cause!

How Solo Climbing Works
-
Sign Up & Fundraise
The first step is easy. Register for the Solo Climb, and then spread the word. Riders are asked to raise $250 to participate in the day’s events. We will provide you with fundraising tips.
-
Climb. Descend. Repeat.
This is the hard work, but fun, part of the day. Based on your own elevation target, ride your bike up and down the Fifty Rd climb until you’ve decided you are done. How many times you climb is up to you.
-
Count Your Climbs
This is the math part and you get to decide how you do it. You can count your climbs in your head, keep a talley, or let a bike computer tell you how many meters you’ve climbed.
Here are some epic mountains and popular cycling climbs to motivate you.
Only a handful of people actually set their sites on Everest. That’s the give or take part. We’ll provide some different targets but you decide what your goal is and then try your best to get there.

Donate $25 and do a Try-A-Climb on your bike
A Try-A-Climb is a single climb up Fifty Road. It is for those of you who want to come out and support us but maybe aren’t as into climbing as others or have never done a large climb on their bike before. You can experience cycling a climb on a safe closed-road and hang out with the other cyclists.
