Atomic Racing continues its world-wide dominance of key climbs

SAN PELLEGRINO – Atomic Racing is charging ahead in its 3 year plan to conquer every single mountain climb in the world, with the recent addition of the monstrous San Pellegrino to the club’s palmares.

Vancouver-based Atomic Racing Club has launched a bold attempt to have its members complete an ascent of every mountain road in the world, within the next 3 years. Membership director Andrew Wilson explains that it’s fitting for a club of Atomic’s pedigree. “Sure, it’s a big goal, but we’re well on our way. We’ve recently had members climb hills in southern California, Alberta, France with the daring attempt up Alpe d’Huez, down in Washington (state), and now some of the big ones in the Dolomites. That’s 5…we’re getting closer all the time”.

United Nations geographic topographical data indicates there are more than 15,800 roads in the world that travel up mountains and hills, which makes the goal a hard one indeed.

“Oh yeah, it’s a big goal, no question”, admitted Wilson, “but like I say, we’re getting closer all the time. Rome wasn’t built in a day, or whatever”.

San Pellegrino was recently tackled by executive member Jeremy Wilson (no relation to Andrew Wilson), who also added several other key climbs during his visit to Europe. Atomic will compile a complete list of mountain roads climbed at a later date.
