      so mark basically -
      1. dropped james and left him without inner tubes
      2. started having a beer anyway, without keeping one handy for james (literally zero extra effort)
      3. continued sitting & sipping as pablo gave up his beer and got another one for james

    I concurr with the others saying this video felt too rushed, maybe out of time constraints. The sheer endlessness and tranquility of the patagonian wilderness was a little bit missing.

    Been deep diving on GCN lately when not indulging in the "pain cave" and sneaking out on rides when the early spring weather allows here. I'm thoroughly enjoying Mark Beaumont's contributions. Love this Patagonia adventure - its been on my list for awahile now. It would be great to add this to the area around Bariloche to Puerto Mont a little further south as well. Just finished watching his Ultra Endurance Tips on his recent ride with Simon on the North Coast 500. Having recently completed a Trans Continental myself whereby I rode over 11,000km on 4 separate tours (1991, 1992, 2015, 2018) self supported meandering across Canada (on the same Scott Santa Cruz BTW), I was fascinated to agree and recognize many strategies I employed but also picked up a few new ones for my next grand tour once the madness of this virus passes. Thanks for that!
    I want to make a suggestion if it hasn't already been done. I think we need to add something to the cycling lexicon. A "Beaumont" (noun) - the name given to riding a distance of 240 miles in a day; akin to a "Century" (100 miles). A "proper Beaumont" is completing it in a period of 16 hours akin to his around the world schedule. A "half Beaumont" constitutes 120 miles. You can also make this into a verb where you can apply it to anything in cycling that is initially kinda of fun and then figuring out the most impossible challenge with it ie Hour Record on a Penny Farthing. Example : He/She is really "Beaumonting that right now.
    After a few too many glasses of wine recently I decided - out loud - to commit to do my first "Beaumont" this summer. Let the masochism begin...

    Great video, but it should have been longer or in 3 parts, 3 x 15 min video per day. You don't fly to the other side of the world with that amazing location and squeeze it all into 18 mins. There must e so much good footage on the cutting room floor.

    Loved it.. I wish it was longer. I was looking forward to at least 3 hours of scenery and description of trails lakes and people that you guys met.
    I'm glad to see that Pablo had a proper mountain bike for the single track to his place. I'm not a fan of gravel bikes...they just don't make any sense to me. Kind of like taking a Penny Farthing in the tour de France.
    Will GCN be editing a longer version? All the guys at my local bike shop are asking the same question. We all loved it.

    James is amazing with all of these massive crazy stuff you guys make him do, GCN certainly loves to torture James

    • @thecrowfliescrooked
      @thecrowfliescrooked 4 года назад

      What’s crazy about a completely paid for 3 day adventure that was fully supported? Pull your head out.

    • @jasongirvan6729
      @jasongirvan6729 4 года назад +1

      Well for one paid for and supported or not, could you do It, so why don’t you pull your head out.
      I was referring to the fact that James has suddenly became the whipping boy for GCN due to the fact he did the cornering test, 24 hrs with Beaumont, one hour penny farthing challenge, the red hook critt, that recent climbing challenge with opie and now this multi day 350+km backpacking challenge.
      Quite a list of torture testing don’t you think? so when you complete that list, supported and paid for or not because remember this is his daily job so of coarse it’s paid for, let me know, oh and remember, if it ain’t on Strava then it never happened
      ROFL
      By the way before you go trying to challenge my torture abilities, I have completed a 250+km ride solo self supported without stores carried on person supplies, had a flat on Canada’s largest highway and still got home in time for dinner with my wife and I do this at least once or even twice in a Canadian road bike season of 8 months if you brave some of the cold
      Also I regularly will do a 10,000 calorie workout challenge, by the way I run bike swim all in on day too also used to way 307 lbs and have lost nearly half

    Is it only me, or this bike packing mini trip feels (a lot) less exciting than Morocco and Iceland? Next you guys have to ride in Namibia for a week... Breath-taking landscape, never-ending tracks and amazing wilderness.
