Thanks everyone for all the kind words and messages, this truly was a monumental effort by everyone involved especially behind the scenes both before and after the event and i know they appreciate these positive comments as well. Happy shredding everyone and see you out on the trail 👊
Huge effort, Rich! You couldn't have a more proud team! What a race! 🤯🙌
The man, the machine, the spaniel! Top effort Rich!
Unbelievable commitment rich, you’re a great athlete for the channel!
Really enjoyed. You’re an animal. More videos like this
Well done - That looked brutal. Have a look at the Munga down here in South Africa. We'd love to have you
The edit on this one was top notch! Great video well done Rich.
Totally agree those night Timelapse shots were so well thought out and edited.
Much appreciated! We have such an awesome team behind the scenes that help bring these videos to life! 👊
Agree. Whoever shot this, and especially edited it, are unsung heroes. Great work.
One of the best and inspirational MTB films ive seen in a while
Brilliant video!! I also did it solo, and had the pleasure of riding/chatting with Rich for a few a sections. The video really captures the event. Excellent camerawork.
Rich`s ability to always stay positive even in the worst of times is amazing! He is one of kind! Great ride!
💯%! Rich certainly pushed through some low points and kept going with his classic can-do attitude! 👊
Ah thanks mate much appreciated, there may have been the odd time i wasnt smiling 😁
@@richardpayne5176 They must've edited those parts out lol
Rich when you do these kinds of events, you don't just entertain us, but you inspire us. So, yes you should absolutely do more of these events. You make me want to get out more on my mtb and actually clock more miles in rather than just head down the trails...
What Hank is to GCN, Rich is to GMBN. A true challenge monster. Total respect and admiration here. What an inspiration. I got a bit emotional at the end when he finished, all mud covered and exhausted. Well done Rich. Kudos!!!👍❤
Hank Vs Rich Extreme race challenge!? Wonder what we could get them to race?
This is 100% accurate 😂.
That was beyond impressive....great video...that was very extreme...I don't think I could ever train enough to finish that race...cheers to all the competitors ....🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it! Rich did an amazing job! 👊
These videos are so fantastically made! Well done Rich!
Thanks a ton! So much effort goes into these epic challenge videos! Rich smashed this race! 7th is crazy good!
*** Curiosity question I’ve always wanted to ask *** For epic events like this, was this something Rich wanted to do and went to GMBN about, or is this something GMBN wanted to film and asked one of their presenters to compete in?
I'd bet anything it's rich who wants to do these things. On GCN, it's Hank who's their endurance/challenge guy and both of these guys seem to genuinely love to push themselves to new heights.
Rich is always looking for his next challenge and we're always keen to make it happen! It's a bit of both. 🤘
@@gmbn Thank you!!! I always wanted to know how that worked, haha.
@@dylan-5287 Agreed!
Congratulations to Rich' & the team! Think that was the best GMBN video I've seen yet.
Awesome job! Would love to see you do more races like this. Thx for sharing!
This is why he and Hank are the best presenters, great video!! 👍👍👍 I’d love to have half the engine these boys have. Brilliant.
Epic achievement Rich 👊🤘
That race looks brutal but tempting.
As you say add the word RACE to any event and you can't help but push that little bit more than you normally would on a challenge.
Awesome video #GMBN 🤘
So right!
Hey Ross! Thanks for the support! Rich smashed this race out of the park! We couldn't be prouder! Yeah, the word "race" increases the intensity of the event so much! 😅
Remarkable ride and shared perspective. Great job Rich! The video production was top notch with the transitions and overlays. Just super well done and a pleasure to watch given the grueling effort of a 24-hour race.
Cheers dude, yeah the camera guys, editors and graphics team smashed it on this one.
What a race! What an effort to attempt it! Great ride. Great rider. Great support team. Great filming and editing. All in all exemplary. Thank you Rich, Amy and the rest of the crew.
Hell of an achievement Rich, well done to all involved in support and the team.
This video is next level - the highest amount of respect given from myself, I can struggle in normal races by not pacing correctly, but this is next level! Well done on your monumental life achievement!
Inspirational is all I have to say!! Always great to see you take on these challenges with such gusto! Well done to you and your crew Richard, great Video GMBN!
Rich , great video , you never cease to amaze me. Your heart and determination going into these extreme events . I will always watch . Amiee is an awesome with her support and keep you on pace ❤
Love Rich and all his extreme challenges. The man is a unit.
Love this sort of video. Cracking edit. Thank you for showing the warts and all.
Hats off to the support crew too.
Would like a longer video.
What a great event too
Glad you enjoyed it!
This video and The Tech behind The scenes is The best from GMBN for a looooong time! Thank you, this was really entertaining
Wow, massive effort, Rich and the crew! I have a whole new level of admiration for you! This is one to be remembered, that's for sure! 🎉👏💪
Hats of to you for daily uploads, but the difference in production is so noticeable with these longer videos. Great film!
Rich Payne still bringing the pain and what a brilliant effort and having such a wonderful partner who supported his efforts all the way and the GMBN camera crew, great filming. Great video Rich.
Wowww Rich!!! Absolutely amazing race. Great job, and congrats to you and the team.
Great job Rich, congratulations on a very respectable ride Sir! It was a pleasure to watch your experience even though you were miserable. Endurance racing is a bit of a staple here in Ogden Utah. Many world class athletes live and train here for some of the toughest races in the world. I wonder how the Strathpuffer would compare to what I consider the toughest MTB race in the world, La Ruta de los Conquistadores. This race is the bench mark for endurance MTB racing. It would be wonderful if you could do a story about La Ruta de los Conquistadores and Roman Urbina, a living Legend! Well good Sir, Cheers! - M
Amazing edit and sum up of the event. Deffiantly relate to all the feelings. Was a pleasure to meet you Rich and to have you lap me out on course 😅.
No words can describe how much respect i have for you Richard. In these harsh conditions. Just amazing ! Well done !
Far out! That is a superhuman effort to Richard and everyone involved! Well done!
Very inspiring. I love all your XC long distance videos. Planning on doing an 16 hour trail ride myself this season
This was a incredible Adventure! Rich congrats for taking this until the end! Is is realy scary to think off such numbers. The video edditing and capture is something else👌 Great Work!
Great stuff Rich. 👍
Your grit and determination to complete the race was epic. 7th place 😎
Excellent video GMBN
Much respect to all that entered the Strathpuffer 24.
I love it how you push through on these challenges. Amazing and Inspirational.
Absolutely impressive Richard. Big shout out to you and your team!
Epic, epic effort Rich. Such mental strength you should be very proud 👍🏻
..Nothing but huge respect for Rich Payne..well done m8,..ur awesome dude!
This one is wild! Good job Rich and congratulations!
Now that's worthy of a thumbs up. 👍 Stellar effort Rich. 💪👊
That's one of the best gmbn videos. No fluff, no bs.
Rich and the GMBN crew are amazing!!!
That was an absolutely MIGHTY effort Rich...well done 💪😊👍
Awesome achievement. Well done... and of course, more please
I almost didn't watch this but im super glad i did..excellent editing and production on this. Great racing

You're truly an incredible athlete. Watching you battle the elements is really inspiring, great work!
A fantastic video .. well done to everyone involved.
amazing effort (finishing 7th ... what! ), amazing video and thanks for bringing the experience to the screen. Hats off to you and monster effort.
Rich you’re an absolute machine, great effort from yourself and the team.
Rich That Was Simply Awesome Well Done Dude!
rich and blake megavalanche duo would be sick
Top shelf cinematography! I thoroughly enjoyed watching that.
Awesome Rich! Man that’s an inspiration to go further and for longer!! Brilliant production by the whole team. Next? Yak Attack? BC Bike Race? Or get on the gravel with Blake and dip the awesome Tour Divide? Now that would be some GMBN/GCN partnership? Hank anyone?😂
Top quality video, Rich and crew!
Nice work all round. A professional film with an excellent athlete giving it his all. What an effort. 👍
It would be great to see Rich doing something like BC Bike Race. Really enjoyed both this and the tech video. Thanks, keep it up.
Impressive! Inspiring! Entertaining! Thanks Rich😊
Heroic effort Rich. Inspiring.
Fantastic effort and race. Nice one.
Well done Rich!!! Solid effort!!!
You did so awesome so proud of you there's no way I could have done that !!! You the man....
Your an absolute machine, bro! Congratulations and big respect!
Great result! Great report! So motivating for us mortal cyclists!
Well done Rich - excellent result & brilliant video - looked like some bar-ends would've come in handy though!
Just huge respect for all involved.
Absolute beast Rich… brilliant as always 👌
Well done rich done it a few times myself and it is a brutal event but once you see that sunrise through the darkness it definitely gives you a extra gear and drive to the finish top man for taking it on 👍
Great video, great performance, great support team.
Excellent work! Hats off to Rich.
Thanks a lot!
Absolutely fantastic Rich very well done! I live up here and have ridden those tracks but no way have the stamina to do the Strath 24. And 7th too. Huge respect to you.
This was so good to watch. Well done 👍
The content, quality edit 👌 great video hats off the Rich amazing effort
Way to go!!
Insane endurance race in wet wintery conditions!! Yikes!
more xc marathons and bikepacking bdw the filming team did it beautifully! Respect 💯
Total respect Rich, that was impressive to finish 7th, you've got to dig deep to finish a race like that. 👍✊
Well done rich. You are a true grit legend. Also lucky to have Amy if I ask my misses to be pit crew in the cold and wet Scotland I'd get a two word answer for sure. So interesting as well to see so many different styles of riding.
HA HA tell me about it she's a keeper thats for sure and definiteley couldnt have done it without her.
Simply mega! Loved this one.
Mental. Truly mental.
You can tell he’s definitely cooked, and really wanted to call it quits, but his determination, and positivity’s keeping his fire and will alive. And not to mention also having to stay professional for this documentary.
Absolute masterclass
Absolutely epic video and I have enormous respect for you and Amy is a gem mate. Well done, well done!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video 👍
Fair play, well done rich! That looked absolutely savage
BBC Scotland's Adventure Show just had their annual episode covering the 'Puffer. Knew GCN or GMBN must done it at aome point.
Great video!
That is an awesome achievement, incredible effort.
Amazing efforts to you and team, that looked brutal! Well done on 7th, that’s a great result 👊🏽😎💪🏽😉
you got heart Rich. great effort!
Hells yes! Great job, that is awesome. 24hr is no joke especially when it's cold and nasty.
I love mtb endurance challenges!
Well done Rich!
Well done Rich! Epic result 🏆
The effort. The quality, the cinematic, the story. God, it's masterclass from GMBN. Hats off for Payner though!
That is really impressive. Thanks for sharing this great video
Thanks for watching! 🤩
Awesome work you legend. I found 24 hour relay racing hard enough back in the day. And that was with a team of 4/5.
Oh yeah!!!...blumming well done! That was nasty great achievement very impressed.
Epic challenge and epic video!!! Big up Rich!!
Loved this video, great work by rich as usual the man is a beast.
Glad you enjoyed it
Good video. The HR is especially interesting, as the edit made it look like Rich was pushing threshold all the way. Makes a lot more sense to see his average closer to what one could reasonably expect over this kind of distance.
I would have loved the addition of the winner stats (just distance and elevation) to compare Rich's efforts.
Definitely lived up to his surname there by the looks.
EXTREMLY ENDURANCE ! Perfect Job
Amazing. good effort. Great inspiration
Fantastic video guys!
Topic is good and top10 finish is epic but all this is minor compared to the editing. Thank you!!!
Great video, this stuff should be on mainstream TV. Ski Sunday, Mountain Bike Monday on BBC2.
That would be SOO cool!
Well done, much respect!
Well done. Solid ride. Hope to do it myself someday.
Super effort. Great video!
