There is no max, far as I know…

So, I’m doing the same thing! The reason it moves to a seemingly different goal is that after you finish Everest, if you stay on that challenge, your altitude counts toward earning a TRON bike!!! So stay on that challenge and keep climbing! 💪

I just completed Everest goal. Instead of showing me 100% complete, it just moved me immediately to 17% complete of the 164,000 foot goal. My previous goal of California still shows me as completing it. Seems like you never get to show Everest as complete, they just move the goal posts!

Second, when I completed Everest they did offer me to go to a Trek bike frame. It has the same number of stars as the Specialized I was riding. I went ahead and clicked on it without thinking. Was that a free reward or did I have to spend drops on it?

thanks for you advce

There is a good chance they will return the favor (my ratio is at around 40%) and now you have the chance to receive a ride-on every time these people open the Companion app and press the blue thumb to start with (like we all hopefully always do, right?)…

maybe get the specialized aethos(available at level 34 but best climbing frame in zwift, or really just any great climbing frame) or the new dt swiss disc wheel and/or a tt bike since you already have the tron bike.
