How Far Could We Ride In 24 Hours? | GCN's Winter Epic

Показать описание
How far can you ride in 24 hours? What would happen if you decided to set off one day on your bike and just rode, not stopping until the clock ticks past the 24 hour mark... We didn't know. James is always up for a challenge and so along with BMC he managed to persuade ultra endurance cycling legend Mark Beaumont to give it a try. Could they make it to Scotland in less than 24 hours?

Hitting McDonald's in central Manchester at 3am, in full cycling kit, is taking bravery to another level. Chapeau!

Having done several 24h epics, I can truly identify with Hank. His face told the story. Watching this took me back to the dark feelings one only gets from pushing through when every fibre of body and soul, screams STOP! Quality stuff again from GCN.

Love this kind of challenge. This year I rode 600 km from Warsaw to Berlin, self supported in 31h, but it was not raining. Well done guys. 👍🏻

I love these epic rides with Hank! To see a more in depth hour long edition of this would be pretty sweet. The suffering, thousand mile stares, look on faces of 'why am I doing this', and the sheer will of determination to even attempt and then complete this sort of thing is...well...truly inspiring in my own life. I love these 'shows on these epic rides!!!

Watching this must be truly inspiring for Dan. I bet he's raring to go with his 1000km+ challenge now.

What an amazing effort, I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult this was. Mark is a machine and massive kudos to Hank for setting this up and completing the ride. Beast 💪🏻

Every time I watch one of these challenge videos, it makes me want to go clip in. Regardless of the time of day. Great video and congrats gents!

Full credit to you guys and thanks for putting this together for us mere mortals. In my uni days many eons ago, I asked a buddy if he did anything special in the holidays. Mal was a wonderfully quirky (and dryly understated) guy, about 6'3" and he casually said that he hadn't done anything much. I pushed him a bit and he said - oh, I rode to Adelaide and back if that counts. From Sydney, that's about a 2, 800km return. None of knew he even had a bike. Great spirit and many thanks again - cheers from Sydney, Dave

Great video Mark and James! What I loved about your ride was that it was utterly pointless. And that is the impedious for most epic journeys. Doing somethiing hard and ultimately futile simply to prove that you can do it. Well done.

"The Struggle" 20% grade... LOL! Suitably named. Great job guys!

Just a thought... Would a short 'Credit Roll' of the people involved in the production of these videos be possible? Acknowledging their hard work and excellent results seems such a small thing.

I raced a “Tin butt” 12 hr with my 12yr old son on the back of my Tandem in 1992. 192 miles in 12hrs so we decided to ride the extra 8 to make 200miles. Food became something to hallucinate about after 6 hrs. We ate every 45 minutes after 2 hrs and within 10minutes i could detect the food like a drug coursing my veins. My sons energy would peak quickly then crash just as quick between eats. We kept each other entertained thru the event and perfected hopping the tandem over seams and small holes to fight any boredom (high speed railroad track hops on the tandem soon after the event). It was an epic bonding event!
Congratulations to the both of you on your epic 24 hours and is a true IRON BUTT event!

Earliest I've been to a GCN video -I love the content! You guys are a huge inspiration to us Cyclists.

I wanted to watch the whole video before commenting but guys... Wow what a ride. I picked up a bike not more than a month ago with the intention of doing an Ironman 70.3, hence why I follow GTN too. But these videos actually make my eyes shine from happiness and joy. I love endurance sports and next spring I'll go on a bikepacking trip for sure. Maybe up to Scotland from here in Italy, long ride but 100% worth it <3 thank you for your work on the bike and on this show.

Another epic ride and video! I could almost feel the suffering seeing Mark's and James' faces and body language. Chapeau x 2, gents.

Well done! Huge respect! I rode a big one from Edinburgh Scotland to Poland earlier this year - 1700 km in 8 days ; )
The longest one i did in a day was 320 km Edinburgh - Carlise and back.
