0 to 6893m by Andreas Fuchs
First we met in the legendary "Gartensauna" at Therme Bad Waltersdorf in 2019!
I'm not really shy when I'm naked and I speak a lot about electric cars, also in our Sauna!
Andreas Fuchs is a thriathlon legend, ultra-athlete and also a early electric car adopter. Check out his Wikipedia page.... you would'nt beliefe!
So there was no way around to speak from time to time about electric car's and the ElectricOjos project!
In 2022 when I came back from the Ojos del Salado in the middle of the Atacama desert in Chile, we met again in the Sauna and he came up with a Idea! His plan was to cycle from the pacific coast with a gravel bike up to the heighest possible point and run from there up to 6893m, the summit of the Ojos del Salado!
So we decided after 3 years to meet each other for the first time with cloths in the real world and try to form a team for preparations, training and later for the project!
That is the reason why he took part at the Race Around Niederösterreich R.A.N. 2024, a 600km Ultra-Cycling race.
For me it was a perfect chance to learn together with Andreas Scheucher, our second supporter at this race, how to support a Ultra-Athlete for 20 hours and 3 min to race to the 3rd place in his class!
He and me didn't want to try this for the first time in the Atacama desert....
And we have been the first team in Austria to support a ultra-cyclist with a electric car for the whole race! With 15min charge time after arond 300km and with 128 Wh/km in avarage.
