Each year for the past 20 years, a mountain biking event known as the “Mountain of Hell” has taken place in the Alps of France, sending more than 400 riders racing down a massive glacier and along some of the most treacherous trails the region has to offer. As you can imagine, it doesn’t always go as well as it should, as the route will test even seasoned and strong riders. The 2019 edition of the even took place this past weekend, and the sis the official post-race video. As you can see, it looks like a lot of fun. If you’re into suffering, pain, and misery. You know, all of the good things in life.
