In the 101 year long history of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, only 5 riders have completed the course in less than 10 minutes. Rennie Scaysbrook (Road Test Editor at Cycle News) is part of that list, thanks to his 9:57.712 run this year on a KTM 1290 Super Duke. What’s even crazier is that he placed second to Chris Fillmore, who ran 8 seconds faster on the same bike. No matter – Rennie is one of the nicest guys I’ve met in the industry, and he had a GoPro Session 5 strapped on the front of his helmet so now we get to get a taste of what it’s like to be an elite rider on one of America’s best courses.
Congrats, Rennie!
