How do you ride three of the most iconic mountain passes - Mont Ventoux, Alpe d'Huez and the Stelvio - in lockdown? Some would do it virtually, but for one very special Genesis fan (or nutter), that wasn't enough. 



Russ Kingston is currently living in Spain where, unlike the UK, cycling on the public highway has been forbidden. Bored of Zwift and with nothing to do in the evenings, this Genesis Zero Disc owner figured out that if he rode up and down his driveway enough times, he could amass some elevation. 


Granted, it wasn't any old driveway. Measuring 137-metres and with an average grade of 13% this was more of a private road - nonetheless, 230 reps later Russ had completed his challenge - equal parts genius and insanity. 

Let us know what you've been doing to break the monotony over the past few weeks!
