Half Hour Cycling Challenge | How Much Bike Riding Can You Fit Into 30 Minutes?

A 30 minute bike ride doesn't sound like much, but time in the saddle is always time well spent, right? We decided to set Conor, Manon, Jeremy, and Ollie a challenge to see just how much cycling they could squeeze into half an hour. Whether it's a savage turbo session, an off road CX skills loop, or a chilled out and back on your local bike path, there's plenty of opportunities to squeeze in a half hour ride around your every day life.

Conors outlook on life is amazing. Such a refreshing presenter. Manons ride is probably most realistic for a 30min session. Ollies looks he has a cracking mullet underway 😳

[edwardjednacz]

We’ve been given four different perspectives on a short ride. Manon, JPow, and Ollie give a taste of intense work-outs, efforts that can really clear the brain. But Conor offers the ride I would like; seeing the world, picking blackberries, celebrating wet shoes and checking out the river - beautiful. And a little Irish philosophy too! It’s better to do something than nothing.

[thekiteflyer]

Conor had the right idea, just go out and enjoy, that's what cycling is about, sod all the reps etc, just enjoy being out on the bike

[mattmiddleton]

Jeremy looks smoother executing a cyclo-cross dismount and remount than I do coasting down a hill on smooth tarmac.

[Calum_S]

Manon's going to have to give us a bike cave tour.

🔥 quote from Conor 14:53
“Sometimes in life we don’t do something because we can't do everything. We'd rather do nothing instead of a little bit of something.”

[benmyers]

Manon: I need a warm up ahhh. J pow: I need get my heart rate in between 130 and 140. Ollie: Ah I am late I will do reps oh I got four mins to get back ahhh. Conor: I am just happy to be out and I am picking berries. The meaning Conor is the calmest GCN presenter 😂😂

[eecak]

Thumbs up for stopping to pick blackberries, Ollie's mullet and Mannon's suffering.

[johnb]

Serious kudos to Jeremy's camera crew for keeping up/ahead of him in the sand pit.

[TheUltimateULTRA]

can we all take a moment to appreciate manons' bike collection

[gja]

Expectation:. Jeremy's ride.
Reality:. Conor's ride.

[derekdelboy]

Conor: So here I am cycling along a Blackberries.
I could watch Conor's vids all day, even without cousin Nigel.

[geoffdelperdog]

I absolutely LOVE the whimsy of Connor, his oneness with nature, and awe of life in general. Thanks Connor for reminding us that we can be serious about cycling and still take time to appreciate the world around us!

[tinman]

Jeremys workout was epic and inspirational. Definitely Jeremy 🥰☺️❤️

[HumaneNewt]

My pre ride poop is longer than 30mins

[diamondguy]

This is awesome. As a Husband and father, sometimes it is hard to get out for a long ride, but in the end 30 minutes is always better then nothing!

[luisdecastro]

Jeremy: "Pump up the jams"
Me: Suddenly hype at 8 in the evening

[PistolPeteLee]

The most impressive thing in this video to me is Jeremy's ability to hop on the bike and clip in so quickly

[HoldenAdventures]

Great content GCN crew! Love it when there are comparisons like this, getting a bunch of the presenters in on it and different perspectives! Keep it up!

[marcuspartridge]

I'm with Manon. 90% of my rides are on the indoor trainer due to my schedule of when I have time. I find I'm able to get some good quality training in. My min is 30 minutes but I try for over an hour.
