Do you think you can ride 200 miles in one day? Let us know in the comments below!👇
Yes
I’m getting ready for a 60 mile now
Sure, in like 16 hours. 😂
My longest ride so far has been 160 km. Based on the time it took me to recover, it will be a long time before I will be ready to tackle that distance.
Yes i have riden 350 km twies and 300 km ones
Impressive. Well done. My longest cycle ride I've done was 60 miles on a road bike. Last Friday I done 41 miles on an e bike but I'm 72 this week.
Incredible! Happy birthday!
Nice mate 👌
Good effort man!👍
When Connor starts going on about culture, fauna and architecture you just know he is GCN’s James May 😂
He's no Captain Slow though. LMAO
@@3L_Pabl0 He is Captain Altitude!!
his look of disgust at Ollies comment at visiting Hendricks grave
Captain Tall
Also Isle of Wight is more like the British Okinawa than it is Hawai'i. That doesn't even make sense. Also GMBN Blake is from there :3
Yesterday I woke up at 3:30 in the morning getting ready for my ride and saw this video. The funny thing is my ride was exactly this, a solo 200 mile ride. I completed it and beat my goal time.
What was your goal time!?
"Wait for me Ollie" - Words I never thought I'd hear on a GCN video 😅😁😂😂
that sentence should've been included on Olie's dream ride...
Wow Ollie is becoming a real monster on the bike. One of these days it's going to 4 vs Ollie :-) Love the content.
The droppee becomes the dropper
Becoming ?
He already was.
Mark Beaumont- "now do it 77 more times"
”Wait for me Ollie” First time those words has been said on this show.
Did Contador not say it in the Route de Stations?
@@cdogensis6392 No I think he just cursed... 😀
@@mathiasthelander7834 same thing lmao
“On a boat!” - you could just tell that Ollie wanted to finish that Lonely Island classic 🤣🤣🤣
:D Hey Ollie, did ..by chance... the boat engine .. make noise!?
YEP
Is it not the dude from the Imperial Leather advert? "I'm on a boat"
ruclips.net/video/R7yfISlGLNU/видео.html&ab_channel=thelonelyisland
Ollie’s fitness has really improved! Goes to show that even if you get dropped every time. Always strive to improve yourself. It’s more inspiring than the ride itself
I'm not sure what you mean about Ollie getting dropped every time. Ollie got dropped once and that got replayed a few times. Apart from the 4 against 1 what other time did Ollie got dropped?
@@matthewbaynham6286 I think he git dropped in the 4v1 and the 3v1, but i understand your point.
tbf his fitness has been pretty consistently strong, even before he joined GCN (check out his hill climb days). Since he's been with the channel he's been the token "strong amateur", yeah he's up against ex-pros, but he's been their equal or above more times than not. Everesting, hour record, Tour des Stations, the man is strong physically and mentally
That's just a meme bro. The only times he get's dropped is when cycling against retired pros. That's basically like boxing against Hulk. Just watch the "How long can you hold world record pace" video where the guy puts down 400 watts without coasts/rest on a trainer bike for an hour and walks off like it was nothing.
Did my 1st 200 mile ride this past June 21st SOLO. Was an awesome time besides bonking between miles 145-180. That was a very dark time but kept my nose the the grindstone and finished. I’m only 4 years into cycling so if I can do it anyone can, just got to want it.
200 miles solo, that's impressive! It's easy to forget how you constantly have to fight yourself to keep pushing yourself forward, especially solo. But once you conquered yourself, the feeling is so satisfying you're instantly looking for the next challenge. Well done!
Yeah nice! I did my first 200 solo a few years back then did a 250 (400km) solo last year, then another this year. This year was 125 miles into a headwind, then 50 miles of saw tooth Welsh/ Shropshire Hills - hardest 50 miles I've ever done on a bike. Still another 75 to go at that point, and I punctured in the pitch black with 15 miles to go! I think that's what they call character building!!! Brutal, but so memorable. gonna try for a triple century next June...
@Advanced Driving A few years ago, while visiting out grand kiddies in Amsterdam, I borrowed my son in law's e-bike to ride from Amsterdam to Apeldoorn to watch the start of the Giro. 175km on a 22kg e-bike that had enough battery for around 50-60km. Fortunately, it was pretty flat, with only 400m of climbing over the 175km, but it was still pretty tough on such a heavy bike with limited battery. It was a long day, especially given the 3-4 hour break in Apeldoorn to watch the opening TT for the Giro. Would've been nice to charge the battery at Apeldoorn, but I'm not a very bold Aussie traveler, so didn't attempt to try that.
"It should feel too easy at the start" for how trivial this might seem, I NEVER heard this from anyone. It's such great advice to put pacing into perspective. Great Ollie as always
This is the challenge on a long ride, especially on your own. Take it easy for the first 90 minutes, that's what I do, you so feel grateful deeper in the ride
@@douglaspate9314 Definitely. And for those of us with no self control, keeping to a maximum heart rate is really helpful.
Ollie has turned into a beast!
Always has been!
200 in one day is impressive, nice work guys
This is actually a thing once a year in Sweden, it’s called Vätternrundan. The route goes around Swedens second largest lake and measures about 315km. You should try it sometime! 🚴🏻♂️
Yup, it's great fun, did it in 2019!
Actually rode it yesterday. First 10k was in total darkness and the temperature was just above freezing. Burnt all matches just to stay warm making the rest of the race just a fight not to bonk. Would recommend everyone to give the distance a try even tough I might wait a bit before my next try.
@@johanbjorhn2646 I started just before 1am. Got so cold I had to call it a day. Could not reach for my bottle or food and breaking/shifting was troublesome. What time did you finish in?
I did Vätternrundan in 1995!
Having worked out of Jonkoping for a while its a ride I really want to do some time.
Actually I just came back from my first multi day cycling event with 150 riders (4 days, 420 miles / 650km)
I thought I wouldnt make it. Day 3 was the longest one, and the most hilly one by far! (I never had to use the easiest gear ever before).
But I made all of it! And I'm proud :)
This was my first long distance experience ever. Now with this experience, I'm confident that I can go even harder!
I'm now going to make a 200k route this friday. Goal is 25 km/h in average (it's quite flat. only 800m in hight)
I can do 31 km/h on a 60k - so lets see.
Everything is planned out already. I'm very exited! Wish me luck.
PS: I bring 110kg (230lbs) to the scale - no excuses, guys. (When I started cycling in march, it was 125 kg (265lbs).
i'm not gonna lie this comment is inspiring me. I'm a 130 kg currently and wanting to buy a bike for weight loss . Still not decided should i get a Giant Talon 2 or Trek Marlin 6
Pretty good, I think I can do 100 mi because I do fifty fairly often. But, four days in a row--no way, too hard. Congrats!
I'm close to 100 kg, loaded my bike this weekend with camping stuff and road for 120 miles split between 2 days. Probably another 10KG at least. Definitely didn't set any landspeed records but I only dismounted to climb 1 hill.
@@sabufinisher I was 130kg in April 2020 and got a Giant Roam. At 110kg last January I got myself a road bike. Under 100kg now. Just go for whatever feels right to you and hit the road. Just have fun and the weight loss will follow
Ride on brother!
I just did my first 100-mile ride yesterday. It was amazing. 200 seems scary but it is something to work toward.
Great work!
"Any cyclist can do this"
Well, maybe one day... I was happy with 50 miles yesterday. But definitely inspiring me to try my first single Century before the end of the fall. Kudos to both of you!
Went from 50 to 80, oh boy it was hard xD.
They are right. A friend of mine started at 400lbs and now can do double centuries on gravel. Just keep pedaling even if you barely put pressure on your pedals.
@@edrcozonoking "barely put pressure on the pedals" - to be honest, that's probably my biggest issue! I'm always pushing the pace on shorter rides, but I would have to slow it down a tad to be sustainable over more than 50 miles.
I did a century once by myself. Not sure I want to do it again, but it was a fun experience. Keep pushing, you can do it.
I did 50 twice. The second time I got cramps. Later I did 63 and it felt easy. Shooting for a century next spring!
"Any cyclist could do this"
I took that personally
Lol
I road my first double century on my 63rd birthday last year.
I'm thankful for podcasts and anti-inflammatories.
The first 150 was pretty non eventful. The last 50, my knees were screaming at me.
It was some of the worst pain I've ever experienced.
I was 99% sure that it wasn't anything other than pain from overuse.
Healed up in 4-5 days.
Very glad that I did it; however, it's back to centuries for me.
Once was enough.
Very inspiring. I turned 60 this year and have ridden all my life but nothing of this nature. Did a few long rides as a teen but nothing in the 100 mile range.
I have been riding an ebike for the last year and covered over 6000km , but I want to tune up my old road bike and try some more epic rides. - Cheers
This conveys an accurate sense of how long 200 miles in a day feels. I’ve done it 25 times. Double Century riding is a long established part of the cycling scene, and a whole culture here in California.
It's a big day out 🥵
Epic long rides are the best ! Done this year two epic rides. One from munich to arco (italy), ~360km and another one from munich to vienna ~420km .
How long you needed for each ride including breaks?
@@waldemarrrrr with breaks it was 17/ 19 hours. One should always do some coffee and ice cream breaks in Italy 😂
So epic!
Very impressive, guys 👍👍👍👍
That is 300+ km in one day. Kudos!!!
as an ex audaxer have done several 200 mile + days . Was never ever easy. Also one cycled around the IOW which is suprisingly hilly much respect
Yep I've done a double century. I helped a fellow rider do his 500km ride. I road 100 miles on the front so he could keep fresh then I turned around and road back home.
I left my mate with his kids to help carry on his mammoth ride.
This sounds like a Hank and Mark ride. Crazy from the drawing board
The scientist and the historian…two of my favorite presenters out on an adventure!!! Good times!
OAN: to see Ollie towing Conor is a twist we didn’t see coming. Ollie didn’t return the favor to drop him when he was in the hurt locker! 😂
Lotoja in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming 206 miles 2nd weekend in sept is a classic Logan to Jackson hole
Great ride with 3 beautiful climbs. Come race it GCN!
I was about to comment about LOTOJA. GCN makes it seem like a double century is something new. thousands have been doing it annually for almost 4 decades in the Mountain West.
Congratulations on your epic ride .... and it's nice to see what power Ollie has 😊
But the biggest question I've is .....
When will GCN do on ride where normal people can ride with there Stars from GCN?
I would gladly book a flight from Germany to you guys to ride with you!
Secretly I only wanted to see if Conor is really as tall as it seems 🤪
This brings back memories! I rode 200 miles on an 8.8 mile (one way bike path) I just went back and forth all day on the bike path but it is now something I can say I did! Took just about 15 hours and I slept for the next 4 days. Cheers Ollie and Conor
I always enjoy the epic ride videos! The bikes looked amazing but I really loved the combination of Connor’s and Ollie’s history, tech and general knowledge fun facts. 👌😊
Can't wait till I can ride further than a 5km radius. Great film!
Why not today? Just keep pedaling.
@@edrcozonoking in Melbourne we are limited to riding in a 5km radius, for 2 hours
In other years, the GCN presenters visit all sorts of beautiful and exotic locations around the world, but getting lost in Salisbury and taking a detour through a urine-stained lift in a carpark is surely the most relatable experience for someone who has spent any time trying to navigate the car-centric cities of the UK by bike.
I did my first double century this summer. It was on a fixed gear with a similar amount of elevation. It wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. I thought it would be dark by the time I finished, but I actually still had an hour and a half of daylight left, leaving around 5:30AM and finishing just before 7PM. I failed a 300K a few years ago, so I learned from my mistakes then.
Drafting Conor who is drafting the photo vehicle is probably pretty chill. 200 miles is much easier when you have a dedicated support vehicle.
So lovely to see you both keep each others spirits up and get the job done :)
Fantastic video, guys. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it. More like this please!
There's actually a double century sportive in Norfolk. It's called the Round Norfolk Epic and it's essentiallya lap of the entire county (probably a lot flatter than this though)
I did this 200 way back in the mid 80s, took me near enough 16 hours. I am now 80 and cycling 4000 miles a year.
@@tomcarslaw2117 Wow that's impressive, keep going as long as you can.
@@patrickjones1143 a colleague said I would lose a log of salt so I took along chicken pieces and a lot of salt! Ow wiser and older. Oh, and I also smoked my last cigar somewhere in the second century. Wiser and older now
I did that with a friend in 2018. It was a hot, dry July day (so plenty of sunlight) with as little wind as you can ever get in Norfolk. After leaving at 0515, we finished at 1855, which was about 2 hours better than we expected. It was well supported by feeding stations. For me, saddle pain got no worse after around 75 miles.
I did the Norfolk 200 miler, done it 3 times now. My best ride time was 11hrs 23mins. Not bad at 61 🚴♂️😁
Connor saying that he was contracted so that other team members could sit behind him takes race tatics to another level
It’s probably why he made so many breaks. “Oh yeah, I want to have that guy to ride behind for the next 4 hours.”
That's impressive, enjoyed the content and definitely you have inspired me aswell for such long rides. Keep it up..
Well done guys! I did something similar which is called "chase the sun" its a 217miles ride from isle of Sheppey to Burnham on sea (south to west England). So literally chasing the sun from sunrise to sunset and I did it in 17 hours and just minutes before the sun disappear on the horizon.
Did CTS this year. Epic ride
I find it amazing when GCN presenters say anyone can do it citing themselves when one of their presenters was literally a GT rider 2 years ago and the other one dropped contador on a climb within the last fortnight.
Right? Let’s see them do it on a unicycle.
This was so helpful. Thank you. Also congratulations on completing 200 miles. That's epic.
It was very timely as the day after I did the Zwift Academy Mav VO2 ride. Then saw a Heritage charity side started 7min after I finished. So did that, and 2 more charity rides that day for a total of 64 miles.
I kept thinking, do what Ollie said, low level 2 (Cardio). That got me thru the day.
Keep up the great work!
As a former resident of West Dorset and Wiltshire, now living in Canada, I love these videos. I have ridden so many of these roads and lanes and a loop of IOW is always wonderful. Thanks guys.
Conor and Ollie are good blokes - it is awesome to see them enjoy each others company riding together.
Absolute blast guys, great video and great ride. Thanks for bringing us along! I have a 100-miler planned in a couple weeks..
Love these ride challenges. Great work guys. 👍
Logan, Utah to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Annual ride and one of the toughest in the World. Follow vehicle required!
Love these road trip videos, great watching Conor and Ollie
I've bagged 4 200 mile rides so far. Utah has a sanctioned race that's 206 miles and is a popular race for many here. I know many who race it every year. It ends in Jackson Hole Wyoming near the Tetons. It's pretty awesome, called LOTOJA. I'd love to see a gcn presenter race it 😀
I finished my first LOTOJA at 50. Have finished 2 more since. It can be done but it requires a lot of training. I would love to see GCN give it a try!
LOTOJA is a great ride. I did it twice, did the Davis Double in California, and my Everest day on the Alpine Loop ended up at exactly 200 miles by my wahoo, or 199.9 by Strava. GCN really should send a presenter or two out to race LOTOJA. It's unique in that it is the only 200 mile+ sanctioned race in the US. It would be sweet to see them do a video about it.
Glad to see you guys have much the same experience as I did - 6am to 10pm and having to grit your teeth for the last 50km. Chapeau gents!
Really impressed with you guy's. That speed for that of a long time. Just wow! 💪🏻
What was their average speed?
@@josephdoby6411 I don't know but just by seeing it I know they are riding a lot faster than me on that kinda distance 🙈
@@ChristianNorling They averaged 27.5 km/h, which is mightily impressive given the distance. I was a couple of hours ahead of the pair of them on the Island that day (19 Aug), in the thick sea fog on the top atop St Catherine's (they didn't show that bit - visibility was about 30 m), and their segment times were consistently good. They should go back in good weather: one of the best places to ride in the UK.
@@AndySymons yeah that's impressive alright! I don't know if I last that distance at any speed? Average 27+, wow!
@@ChristianNorling My best average ever was 22 mph. I would get dropped quick riding with these guys.
Loved the Pillars of the Earth shootout! I was just listening
for the 3rd time to the Audiobook on my ride yesterday
Well done you two! I have done double century rides before but never while making a video at the same time. Awesome videos GCN!
Classic film. Epic ride. Great to see the GCN guys slumming it in an audax hotel (bus shelter). Got my first 300km ride coming up in November so I’ll be channelling my inner Ollie and Conor as I plough on through the dark.
Is “Audax Hotel” the name of a New Wave Synth-pop trio, from 1981?
@@trickied7310 indeed but they broke up after their experimental 8 track cassette ‘Premier Inn ate my derailleur’ only reached 499 in the Gallup album charts.
Thoroughly enjoyed to watch this, great job!
20:00 - That music…I was waiting for a baritone-voiced narrator to start talking, “After an epic ride of victory, Conor and Ollie arrive back home…only to find their town had been devoured by a giant creature from space. Seeking revenge and on the edge of madness, the two cyclists set out on a… *RIDE OF RETRIBUTION!* ” Coming soon to a theatre near you. Check local listings. Tickets on sale now.
Ladz, this was great , I loved it, you are right it’s all about personal goals.
October 2019 I was 16 stone 5 oz, today at 55 years young 😜 I’m 11 stone 6 oz, early June this year I did a 110mile solo ride . . . I watch all your RUclips videos, you are all great and it was from watching them I decided to do my mini challenge, 7 hours 39 minutes on a gravel bike 🚴 isn’t to bad 😜
Anyway I’m looking forward to watching many more of your epic challenges 👍 and maybe beating 7 hours next season myself, I love cycling again and feel 20 years younger, thanks again all 👊
Did 325km last June with a group, so I can really feel your pain, guys. Awesome work, love the vid.
Great stuff Arno!
I LOVE LD biking! Really enjoyed watching the commodore, the ride, the scenery. So glad Conner escaped Injury!
8 years ago, when 55yo, I did 320km in a day = 200miles.
I enjoyed long rides, and had no other particular reason to ride it.
I planned it solo, but 2 days prior, a young fella wanted to join me.
He wasn't keen on rolling over turns on the front, so there was no advantage from drafting.
I picked the route and time of year for flatness, and being close to trains in case of mechanicals, and getting tail winds both ways on this out and back route = Australia Scarborough north of Brisbane to Point Danger on Qld/NSW border.
We left at 2am to take advantage of quieter metro roads, and a slight tailwind. It was a good decision, as it was cooler (summer time) and less stressful. Very few cars.
We had no issues with bonking, cramps, saddle sores, other pains, or mechanicals. So good planning does pay off.
I was used to doing 160km rides every month or so. and averaged 6-10 hours a week for a few years prior....so adapted adequately. averaged 25.8kph, burned 9500Cals according to strava but more likely 60% of that, duration 16 hours.
Good job guys 👏👏👏👏 Another epic ride !🥇🥇
Just got round to re-watching this and its easily one of my gave GCN films...epic ride gents! Epic!
Yep! There's a ride in the Seattle WA. area. STP (Seattle To Portland). It turns out to be around 204 miles. You can do it in one day, or two. A lot of people do it in one day. It's a blast!
I had saved this video to watch later... Now after looking this, i mesmerized! This is one of the Epic Ride of GCN Collection. Impressed. It motivates us cyclists a lot 💐
This is inspiring!
I have a friend that lives 360k away...maybe give it a go.
But I need to get better first. 2-3 more months of training I'd say. :)
Once again, thanks for (1) showing us England and (2) the warning :)
The rain is good though, their faces don't show the strain of doing 200 miles at all (like Si or Mark or Matt would have)
Amazing ride and amazing people! I loved this and definitely inspiring x
I did this for a bet at the end of my A levels 36 years ago. Alone. No helmet, no phone for contact. No lights. Cirencester to Southampton and back. Never cycled more that 70 miles in a day previously. Crazy. And very sore afterwards!
Very much inspired, kudos to both of you.
Epic ride guys! Well done!
That was pretty phenomenal! Great inspiring video!
Ollie towing Conor! I’d happily follow either a** round the IOW but then I’m only 5’6 so have more options than many!
Brilliant ride and video guys. Well done 💪🏻💪🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Loved this video, a great journey! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Mark!
Absolutely fantastic. Thanks Gents. You make 200 look all fun. Come do Kanza. Your skills are absolutely awesome.
I slammed that like button when I saw The Pillars of the Earth reference. One of the best!
Well done guys. That’s some ride, especially when you’ve tight ferry schedules.
Nice bikes. Very nice bikes
Awsome, inspiring...thumps up for Conor and Ollie who didn't even lost their sense of humor in the rain.. real Flandriens..
Oow and by the way..love that red bike...👍🏻👊🏻
I just finished a 100 miles ride yesterday. I would like to do a double century one day. Great job both of you,, way to get it done.
👍👍👍👍 4 thumbs up for that ride. Great video in addition enjoyed the commentary and wonderful scenery.
Epic ride guys. Interesting to hear how much extra time is involved with all the "piece to camera" sections to get enough footage for a ride like this.
This is amazing! Great effort
Brilliant, entertaining video, great presenters and very inspirational
I managed my first 200miler this year at the Solvang Double Century and couldn’t be more pleased. Definitely an addictive format for the ultra-minded cyclist. California has a series called the Triple Crown. It involves 3 doubles in a single year. Sounds like Ollies next challenge , yeah? Lol
Wow, double kudos 👍
Great video
Excellent loved the video , bikes look awsome
This was very inspiring. Cheers guys. Recently did 200k on a vintage mtb. Looking to get a road bike in the future
I thought this might have been in training for Oli’s event but it was after! Well done!!
I have done 200 miles over 2 days before. I did find that a challenge. I am inspired to try it over 1 day. I think I need to do Ollie's Tour des Stations training to get ready for it though.
Thank you for this video. It looked a lot of fun - and a great route, too.
I legit rode round the isle of white from Southampton last Monday. Riding from Bath round the Isle of White and back is madness 🤣 you guys are beasts 🤙
Nicely done lads! Great adventure.
Really enjoyed watching. Inspired by Ollie's continual improvement as I'm the one who always gets dropped. Ollie, this Seattlite thanks you for the shout out to Washington state! You can visit the graves of both Jimi Hendrix and Bruce Lee here!
Amazing effort guys well done! 🚲👍
Well done lads. I completed the flat 100 back in 2019 and miles 40-70 were the hardest so I can’t imagine doing that distance twice. Glad Connor was ok after the near miss.
Well done lads... very brave challenge especially with crossing deadlines...really great effort and very funny on those points made, reminds me - my first Lon2Paris 24hr 280 miles via Dover.. Broken and Proud at the finish. LOL. Awesome GCN
We've got a whole series of these here: the California Triple Crown. They tend to be challenging rides in stunning locales since one needs a lot of open space to get the distance done. You even earn a jersey if you do enough of them in a year: did six and earned mine. Glad to boys had fun!
I got a Vitus ZX-1Evo Ultegra this summer and it’s a fantastic bike. Suprizingly comfortable, feels fast and has an amazing deep blue paint job. Vitus is a brand that definitely flies too far below most radars
Love the red bike of Ollies! Gorgeous!
It's funny, I went out on my very first double century ride the day this came out. Fun to watch someone else do it!
