The video quality you guys are now producing is beyond belief. Honestly better than most TV shows and documentaries you see nowadays. Keep it up fellas :-)
thats the trend my friend for years, internet took over nothing to be surprised, Discovery channel tv crew probably had to sign new contracts with their profile changed to internet content production :)
Excellent video. You managed to arrange the weather too! Just wish You Tube would stop littering your videos with very annoying adverts - often in mid-sentence.
I was inspired by this video to complete this route with a friend. We finished yesterday, it was amazing. Unlike you guys we're novices, let's just say it took us more than a day !
Video looks so good, how about a behind the scenes video showing the technology and processes used in creating the videos, maybe with some interviews with staff doing this work that we don’t usually get to see?
18:51 still gives me chills and motivation for the next day! When I lack motivation, I often re-watch GCN videos. I forgot about this one and how motivating it is.
I love how you can track how close to Yorkshire they were getting through the lakes by how much more broad Ollie’s accent became. This looks like a fantastic ride, nice one.
@@kibbee890 Quebec City to Vancouver is under 5000km and still satisfies the coast-to-coast requirement. (Add a couple of hundred km to the east if you don't want to count that part of the St Lawrence River as coastal.)
North to South translation. North: tea = evening meal, usually eaten around 6pm or later. Chippy tea = evening meal from the chip shop. Awesome video. Route duly added to the bucket list. I might need easier gearing for Hardknott and Wrynose, though 😂
Also, I’ve never ridden Wrynose or Hardknott in the dry. Last time I was on 34-28 and it was like riding up a couple of waterfalls. Not sure I want 30C heat though 🥵
Ollie and Hank just exude fun and excitement on this ride. Well done guys. I bet some UK riders are going to do this ride sooner rather than later. GCN, I would love to see more rides in your backyard- the UK while the warm weather is here. Top notch filming by the way.
Outstanding lads that was next best video to GCN 500 content as superb & scenery nearly as good as Scotland 🏴🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🏴🏴🏴🏴👏🏻👏🏻
Hearing the old DDE intro on a GCN video is surreal! Lol! Fitting though! Great upload guys. Well done on this massive trip! Just picked up my first Giant road frame after being on a traditional geometry Pinarello for years and years, Loving it so far!
Love these two. Well done lads. Surely everyone knows what a “chippy tea” is? What a great way also to show off the fabulous places we have here in the UK.
Fantastic video. Production quality out of this world. Ollie and Hank’s genuine love of cycling really shines through. The GCN kit with those machines looked full on pro too.
Just watched while peddling on my trainer (8 Feb., 21) and saving myself a freezing cold (31°F), wet evening ride. Thanks for the beauty and quasi-companionship!
Terrific video guys! One of the top GCN videos ever for me. Sums up what being on the bike for a day is all about. Good mates, good weather, good scenery (really good bikes help!). Those climbs would have killed me though at my age. Really great atmosphere and camaraderie. Hope to see more. Chapeau GCN.
What a great ride! And what a great bikes! Thanks Ollie and James and thanks for the music! Everything was super nice! I forgot. Of course cream first. ;)
Me and 3 friends did this route just the other day, aged 14/15 we set ourselves the task to complete it in 2 days, and we managed! . But instead of sun and heat it was raining for alot of it, hardknott pass was an absolute killer. The relief we felt when we could see the sea. One of the best rides we've ever done and we all enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you for the route and inspiring us to do it!
Thanks so much for posting this. These are the days that live forever in your memories. I can only imagine how good that food tasted at the end of the ride.
Been thinking about doing the Coast to Coast for a few years, and after seeing this I'm more motivated to actually do it! Great video guys, really enjoyed it.
This was very well produced. They captured the spirit of the day perfectly - the camaraderie, the sense of adventure, and the landscapes that turn what would otherwise be just a very long ride into a truly epic ride. Bravo Hank, Ollie, and GCN crew.
Absolutely brilliant, loved the video and found it proper inspiring. Some fantastic videos of late. More of the same please and keep up the good work 👏
One of the best videos GCN have done. Amazing route, great scenery, maybe could have had some drone shots but some great camera work nevertheless. Looked like an awesome/tough day out.
Absolutely superb as usual. These are always so inspirational. Today I was struggling to get motivated and go out on a training ride. Just watched this and now I'm straight off out! Ciao and many thanks :)
Definitely an amazing video put together by GCN! Soundtrack, the scenic shots, everything! Hank and Ollie should do more rides together, absolutely loved watching them! Must have been a great ride! Looked super fun. P.S. it's cream then jam.
Absolutely awesome. An epic ride - one that I would love to do one day but of course over 2 or 3 days !!!! Can't believe how you can get up those 20+% climbs towards - legs of steel. Wonderful scenery as well.
@@clarkeyi721 Hah hah!! I'm not proud - I learnt my place in the world a long time ago - rolling into the coffee shop after the rest of the gang in my cycling group have already finished their "coffee & scones" !!
Lads. Such a great video. I've been without a bike for a while now and this was such beautiful viewing. It fills me with such joy and I can't wait to get my new bike when they finally start shipping and get out and have some of this 😍😍
Great watch as I enjoy my Sunday morning coffee! Well done on the achievement lads - some of those climbs looked painful! More videos like this please GCN. (And maybe less of the repetitive other stuff you tend to be showing at the moment - constructive feedback). Cheers Paul
Ollie, I can confirm your theory is correct. Chippy tea makes any day better 👌🏻👌🏻 slightly disappointed at Hank for not knowing what a chippy tea is though 😂
THIS WAS AMAZING! It's peak season so you all KNOW we're putting together our BIG rides with our bestie. I was missing getting to see new roads on organized/supported rides so I put one together myself. Me and my bestie road it today and it was great. Excellent content!
Great video guys. Loving the banter, just makes it a great epic to watch. Surprising how much a fantastic ride just get even better with good company. Great ride on the road bike, if the weather stays like this, I might be tempted to do it on the fatty 😳 😂👍👍👍👍
I only skipped through the video, and saved it for later - but saw your comment. Did a loop 2 years ago , was called Hawes toughie - the hardest ride ever.
Where do you sit on the scone debate? Jam or cream first? Does it even matter? Have you ever ridden coast to coast before?
Ahh in Australia coast to coast is either a 3,835.7km ride (NtoS) or 5,019.3km ride (EtoW)..... so that’s a no.
Jam's heavier and denser so goes on the base, creams a lighter fluffier topping. anything else defies all logic.
@@bantcliff obviously never had cornish clotted 😜
Jam first and cream on top. Does not really matter, however from my point of view it is just easier to spread.
Are you filming this in the future???..where are masks
The video quality you guys are now producing is beyond belief. Honestly better than most TV shows and documentaries you see nowadays. Keep it up fellas :-)
Before Quarentine It was super good too, just couldnt really have a whole crew with lockdown
agree. such a great video.
thats the trend my friend for years, internet took over nothing to be surprised, Discovery channel tv crew probably had to sign new contracts with their profile changed to internet content production :)
RUclips is the new TV. Especially convenient on the toilet.
Excellent video. You managed to arrange the weather too! Just wish You Tube would stop littering your videos with very annoying adverts - often in mid-sentence.
7:15 "Mate, more people die from cows than sharks"
Yeah but if you tried to milk a shark...
We presently have 2 bronze whalers and a 5m white pointer hanging around our surfing beach atm chasing bait fish and spooking the local crew.
And you can run away from a cow...
you can walk away from a cow...
Mgapagnolo no you can’t😂
Omfg I laughed loudly out loud with this one, thanks mate!
I'm sharing this video with my non-cycling mates. If this video doesn't make you want to ride a bike then nothing will. It is absolutely superb.
Yeah, watching people do a 30% grade is gonna make people wanna ride. Riiiight.
I would like to do something like that. Cycling isn’t just going down hill !
@@KandiKlover True, but what goes up, must come down. And that's where thrill is
I was inspired by this video to complete this route with a friend. We finished yesterday, it was amazing. Unlike you guys we're novices, let's just say it took us more than a day !
Nice work!
Good job
nice one! next time i'm in the UK i might have to try it.
As much as I love watching three old blokes driving cars in amazing places. This, and the other videos like this on gcn, are just way better.
Couldn’t agree more. But an exploding caravan now and then wouldn’t hurt.
I loved the cycling commercials Top Gear did and had to present to some city council thing lmao.
@@KandiKlover i remember it well. 🤣.
Basically brits on a trip is probably one of the better forms of entertainment
If this car, was a bike, it would be a Willier
Wild "Best bike ride of the year" watched on a rainy, Sunday morning with coffee. What else?
Sounds like typical british weather! Hope you get out and ride
it was a rainy sunday morning in singapore too
That’s literally what I’m doing
Ollie: “this climb is brutal”
Hank doing a wheely at the end: “yeah sure mate”
give it a go! 😂
Video looks so good, how about a behind the scenes video showing the technology and processes used in creating the videos, maybe with some interviews with staff doing this work that we don’t usually get to see?
18:51 still gives me chills and motivation for the next day!
When I lack motivation, I often re-watch GCN videos. I forgot about this one and how motivating it is.
Happy riding, Nicolas!
@nicolasremillard3491 AGREED!
11:04 when Hank & Ollie got a little too friendly!
Great video Boys...
What goes on tour stays on tour...
Alfred Munkenbeck 😂😂😂👌 YES
Love the guy behind Hank & Ollie on his phone & catching them up!
Nice bunny hop @18:00. Looking at that grate, bunny hop looked to be the comfort option
I love how you can track how close to Yorkshire they were getting through the lakes by how much more broad Ollie’s accent became. This looks like a fantastic ride, nice one.
260km from one side of the country to the other... Sounds weird being Australian. I can ride 2000km and still be in the same state 🤣
Do you think guys from Красноярск are impressed? ;)
As a Canadian, I can understand. 20 hour drive, about 2000 km across Ontario, from Ottawa to Kenora. 7500 km to go across the country.
And they didn't even cross the narrowest part of England! Bowness to Tynemouth is only about 145km.
@@kibbee890 Quebec City to Vancouver is under 5000km and still satisfies the coast-to-coast requirement. (Add a couple of hundred km to the east if you don't want to count that part of the St Lawrence River as coastal.)
I live in Malta, 27 Km is what it takes to cross the island.
Yey!! Ollies back someone found the key to his cage
IF THIS DOESN'T GET YOU MOTIVATED TO CYCLE, I DONT KNOW WHAT WILL. WHAT A PRODUCTION AND YOU GUYS SO LOVEABLE!! 11/10
North to South translation. North: tea = evening meal, usually eaten around 6pm or later. Chippy tea = evening meal from the chip shop. Awesome video. Route duly added to the bucket list. I might need easier gearing for Hardknott and Wrynose, though 😂
Also a great song 😉
And about three days in which to do it!
Also, I’ve never ridden Wrynose or Hardknott in the dry. Last time I was on 34-28 and it was like riding up a couple of waterfalls. Not sure I want 30C heat though 🥵
You sure it's not a brew made by a carpenter?
Breakfast dinner tea
Ollie getting more and more northern as the ride went on, although chippy tea does sound good!
Also this is my favorite GCN video ever
Ollie and Hank just exude fun and excitement on this ride. Well done guys. I bet some UK riders are going to do this ride sooner rather than later.
GCN, I would love to see more rides in your backyard- the UK while the warm weather is here. Top notch filming by the way.
I have to admit that I shed a tear when you crested that hill and you could see the sea.
Give yourself a slap!
12:25 Ollie and Hank “racing within a ride” while random dude trailing them keeps pace while sitting up and checking his phone.
I think he was taking pictures with "the gcn guys mid ride OMG OMG" hahaha. Didn't he turn up here yet?
I'm going to assume that was a car.
100% trying to snap a photo...probably holding on for dear life
I love the part at 12:30 where you are flying down the road and there is a guy in the background texting on his phone keeping up with you lol 😂👍🏽
I remember going up hardnock pass wondering if I’d get to the top! And I was in the car.
It's steep isn't it!
Sunday vids on GCN are bloody good these days.
@19:00 just epic, got some goose skin 😍😍
this video made my day!!
The production quality of these films is superb now. Camera work excellent
Great production, great route, good fun. We walked the C2C in 2013 in 13 days - 305 kms. Beautiful from one end to the other.
That ride was so epic that time stood still. I’m sure you covered a good 30-40ks between 4:30pm and 4:30pn
This video is still a favorite. We need some more like it!
One of the best vids to date. We can talk about the bikes until the cows come home (badom). But more epics like this please!
Ollie: *tells Hank about the climbs*
Me a Dutchman: What are 'climbs'?
I've heard a lot about NL's "flatness" , but oh my presentation of "flat" was so wrong lol
Climbs are headwinds that then turn to a tail wind at halfway. ;¬)
Aren’t there some pretty brutal climbs in the spring classics in the Netherlands?
The only 25% climb in the Netherlands is up the stairs to bed! :D
I'm loving the mullet and the 'stash
Outstanding lads that was next best video to GCN 500 content as superb & scenery nearly as good as Scotland 🏴🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🏴🏴🏴🏴👏🏻👏🏻
Kudos to the production team! Nice video
amazing work from cameraman and videoeditor. Top in their field !
Absolute legends, love this video and editing! Honestly made my day!
👏👏👏👏👏! One of the best... Beautiful landscape, exceptional bike, the music, the story, and the towns... Kudos!!!
Hearing the old DDE intro on a GCN video is surreal! Lol!
Fitting though!
Great upload guys. Well done on this massive trip! Just picked up my first Giant road frame after being on a traditional geometry Pinarello for years and years,
Loving it so far!
Again beautifully made, visual treat. Great route, nice banter. Love watching these clips! Keep doing them.
Love these two. Well done lads. Surely everyone knows what a “chippy tea” is? What a great way also to show off the fabulous places we have here in the UK.
Jam then cream. Then a beer in The Bay. Then chippy tea. Thanks for the memories, keep em coming!
Brilliant video. Epic day out 👍🏻👏🏻
Fantastic video. Production quality out of this world. Ollie and Hank’s genuine love of cycling really shines through. The GCN kit with those machines looked full on pro too.

The best GCN epic ride 'video' ever - cracking, well done to you both

Been thinking about doing the Coast to Coast for a few years, and after seeing this I'm more motivated to actually do it! Great video guys, really enjoyed it.
So nice to see the GCN crew back on the roads - inspiring us all!
Love watching Hank & Ollie's adventures - amazing bikes, amazing ride - gave me goosebumps when you guys hit the hill crest @whitby
One of the best GCN videos I've seen! Amazing work chaps

Brilliant content👌🏼 More of this material, PLEASE!!
Definitely one of my favorite videos and those bike jumps were incredible.
One of the best videos GCN have done. Amazing route, great scenery, maybe could have had some drone shots but some great camera work nevertheless. Looked like an awesome/tough day out.

Epic ride. Hilarious duo. Enviable bikes. Perfect.
some azazing footage. well played boys/camera crew. Great day out, even on them bikes ;)
This video was awesome! You guys are amazing and truly deserve every morsel of those fish and chips. Well done and thanks for sharing your epic ride.
One of the best videos you’ve done. Looked amazing!!
FIRST JAM THEN CREAM! LOL Great video. Getting ready for a ride today.
Great video, very inspiring. Some of those climbs seem a bit terrifying; I hope to be able to try them someday.
Thanks Ollie & Hanks.. amazing ride.. keep me motivated to keep on riding!!
Great video chaps, I’m going to save this route and have a go myself next spring, looks amazing!
Choice of background music on point. Perfectly suits the scenery!
Loved this, that climbing was bloody epic!! Jam first obviously cream is the topping 😉
Definitely an amazing video put together by GCN! Soundtrack, the scenic shots, everything! Hank and Ollie should do more rides together, absolutely loved watching them!
Must have been a great ride! Looked super fun.

Nice trip lads. We have a Coast to Coast here in the South Island of New Zealand also. 240km.
A fantastic tour you boys put up, nice landscape and tough climbs. All in all an incredible ride.
A truly epic and beautiful ride. Thanks for sharing it!
Great video, loved the hop over the cattle grid at about 18 mins. Chesters on the River at Skelwith Bridge is an amazing vegan eatery, great choice.
The edit is sick! Love this one! Smooth as a whole don’t even feel like 20 minutes has passed.
What’s sick about it, it’s great
This would make a great weekend bike camping trip. Fantastic route gents thanks GCN for adding to my list of rides to do.

Glad to hear it, thanks for watching!
These videos are life saving, keeps me going. Well done lads.
I love all the presenters, but Ollie and Hank are my favorite, so this team up should be a great one!
Best youtube vid i have watched so far this year. Cream then jam.

This is the ride I was planning for this year, before all this crap. Good job guys, cannot wait for my chance to do this.
You can still do this Andrius! Enjoy it
I love Hawes. Always better to write that, rather than just come out and say it.
You should rewatch with the subtitles when they say they are just gonna pull off into...
I only skipped through the video, and saved it for later - but saw your comment.
Did a loop 2 years ago , was called Hawes toughie - the hardest ride ever.
Love it! I want to do an epic ride like that when we can travel again!
