This follows the recent challenge at Antur Stiniog, Snowdonia, where they attempted to set a new world record for the greatest number of vertical metres descended in 24 hours.

In weather that can best be described as ‘changeable’, they descended an amazing 25,875 metres within the 24 hour deadline.

The four riders who took part in the challenge included:

  • Paralympic Athlete – Nathan Stephens
  • Paraplegic Racing Driver – Brian Roberts
  • Simon Powdrill – Loco Tuning
  • Calvin Williams – Manager, Project ENDURO

“We are absolutely delighted that our audacious attempt to set this world record was such a success,” says Calvin. “I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way, in particular Hope Technology, Renthal, Disability Sports Wales, Polaris Bikeware, Nukeproof Bikes and LOCO Tuning.”

All money raised from the 24 hour challenge will be donated to Disability Sports Wales. Donations to Disability Sports Wales can be made here:
