I can relate fully to Jack, I had a problem with drug abuse and was a street intrenched heroin addict after loosing my pro skateboarding career. I since have become a Cat 1 bike racer on the road, but see myself doing more ultra and more Ultra Gravel rides especially, I am very lucky to have sponsor support for most of these rides but I will never suffer like I suffered in addiction. So when I suffer on the bike I feel like its a privilege to suffer while doing something so fun in some beautiful areas of the world.
Dude I'm the same. Had some major surgeries and was hooked on pain pills for 3 years I quit cold turkey and instantly started running and riding. Now I just purely love the high I get from pushing myself and proving to myself I'm stronger mentally than I give myself credit for
@@AdventuresomeOutlook That's awesome, Yeah it's tough after injuries, that's what did me in and so many others i see fall in the same dark place. Kudos man, I know how tough it is. I race against dudes that have been training and fit their whole lives and knowing where I came from to be up there... we definatley need to credit ourselves !!
Brilliant story. Jack is an absolute legend. What a ride, what an inspiration. If you don't succeed go about it in a different way. Superb advice. And thank you Jack for opening up and sharing not only the ride but your thoughts as well. Chapeau sir.
When you see people like that it just motivates you more to go search for your limits and realise that you always can do more if you really want it ...Hats down big guy...that's all i can say ❤
Jack's ride's just completely amazing. And the team behind it all - chapeau!!! Then for putting these ten days of riding into 33 minutes - superb job! Many thanks!
Jack, you are truly an inspiration. Like this ride, life has it's ups and downs. But, you're winning man and importantly you're making life better for millions around you suffering with depression as you do it!
Jack really is on another level. Everything he does just has me gobsmacked that it's even possible. I know the wahoo thing is a corporate deal but all the same it's great you're backing him to help keep him rolling and keep mortals like me inspired 👍
52km elevation gain is horrific for me. I can’t imagine the pain and struggled while climbing. But your preparation and fitness paid off.. Your team is really awesome as well. Now i have an idea to make my own documentary.
Watched this film and really appreciated the cinematography and general feel of how it was put together. Watch the credits and turns out it was Matt who I used to work with
Amazing. Thanks to jack for sharing your story. As someone who is almost 4 years sober. I too was at the lowest point and close to ending my life. Cycling is one of the things that turned it all around for me
Great story and well recorded and presented. Thank you to Jack for his honesty and being so real in this. Most people go through hard/dark times, glad to see you’ve found your place in the world.
Wow - I already knew what Jack had done was incredible but it was so amazing to see behind the scenes, and hear his thoughts on all of it. So impressive and inspiring. ❤️💪
Monumental Accomplishment!!! Your videos are so inspirational. They demonstrate how high that bar of difficultly can be raised, in return gives me motivation to raise my bar of difficulty a notch higher. All the obstacles you faced reminded me of a quote “Obstacles are the Raw Materials of Great Accomplishments” - Tommy Newberry
F^#% mate, so awesome! I just watched this whilst on the Kickr. It had me smiling from ear to ear, feeling full of positivity, dreaming of adventure & (although I don’t know you) proud of your effort, incredible! Chapeau 🙌🏽🙌🏽👊🏽
Just awesome!! Question: Can you provide the supersapiens infos somewhere? How did the infos influence your riding experience regarding eating / drinking?
Very inspiring. The highs and lows on a bike. But always love when I'm on the saddle. Places you see, people you meet, challenges you face and overcome. 👏 Out of interest, what was the bike and components you used?
I don’t understand; if he could catch them why can’t he beat them? Are there qualifications that he can’t achieve? I’m new to road biking. Just a casual bikepacking observer here lol. Forgive my ignorance. And ty for helping me understand the greatness of what was done.
He didn’t “catch them”. Incredible achievement, but what he simply did was ride the stages and then transition faster than the tour. They had dinner and slept and breakfast and rode one stage a day. He stacked them all into one consecutive effort. Amazing achievement to ride that volume, but “catch” is a bit miss leading. Hopefully that clarifies it a bit for you. Regardless, impressive effort Jack💪🏼
Almost as cool as Lachlan Morton's Alt Tour... it would have been cool to be able to "follow the dot" in real time, before they knew if they would be able to complete the challenge ;)
Love watching all of Jack's amazing rides. Wish I could have finished watching this video. Too much camera shake. Makes me nauseous. Ever heard of image stabilization or a gimbal?
I love that you love riding and hanging with friends more than all the rest aspects, that is why you can do what you do! I loved watching Tristans vlog on this ruclips.net/video/g23TSsCLTTs/видео.html
Brillant accomplishment, well filmed, but please get rid of your “like“ several times in almost every sentence. That would make listening to you so much more enjoyable.
Amazing athletic. Amazing achievement. Though the story telling and the doco is a big let down. Could have done in several different ways to make it a much better film. The guy already done all the hard work. When was the last time u seen this kind of doco and the athletic doing the talk and narrative instead of focusing on his journey (joy/pain/emotion). All we see is him whining for 30 mins in a tone that seems it was a big mistake doing this and im glad it's over. Never again.

Playing the devil's advocate here: Cycling can also be another form of addiction. Just a healthier one

Hobbies and passions have a way of saving people from addiction so much so; it's encouraged all the time within the recovery community
Incredible 🤩💯💪
Great film
That was excellent!
Insane! great
Tremendous effort 💪🏻
amazing video and good example about dreams come true sometimes
Que cara brutooooooooo 🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏👏
Woww nice !!
I'd love to do this. Not at that pace of course.
Great ride man it looked like fun
Just awesome!!
Question: Can you provide the supersapiens infos somewhere? How did the infos influence your riding experience regarding eating / drinking?
Dude! That is fn crazy!
Absolutely amazing. Well done to Jack and the crew.
Silly question - what bar bag was Jack using?
Great film , although I would have liked to see you do it in cut down birkenstocks like Lachie 😂😂🚴🚴🚴🇦🇺🇦🇺👍
great film, where did the funding come from?
Very inspiring. The highs and lows on a bike. But always love when I'm on the saddle. Places you see, people you meet, challenges you face and overcome. 👏 Out of interest, what was the bike and components you used?
Looks like the Specialized S-Works Roubaix Team frameset (Roubaix with Tarmac geometry)
Epic
Excited to see Lachlan’s video come out.
I don’t understand; if he could catch them why can’t he beat them?
Are there qualifications that he can’t achieve?
I’m new to road biking. Just a casual bikepacking observer here lol. Forgive my ignorance. And ty for helping me understand the greatness of what was done.

"I could never race the Tour De France. Yet I've gone and ridden the Tour De France in my own way. It's special".
Which bike light is Jack using? :)
Insane effort
Pain in the legs ? Really ? Good you mentioned it , i had no idea it causes pain in the legs .
Almost as cool as Lachlan Morton's Alt Tour... it would have been cool to be able to "follow the dot" in real time, before they knew if they would be able to complete the challenge ;)
lol
Unlucky year for Jack to do this. Upstaged Lachlan's much harder challenge. Still cool though.
What handlebar bag is he using? Looks very slim and tidy!
Australia appears to be Arrakis.
Blimey 🤪
Does anyone know which Pearl Izumi rain jacket he was using?
How much did he train for it?
A metric shitload. It’s actually insane looking at his Strava in the months leading up to it…🤯
@@tristantakevideo so better to ask: when didn't he train for it? 😂
Love watching all of Jack's amazing rides. Wish I could have finished watching this video. Too much camera shake. Makes me nauseous. Ever heard of image stabilization or a gimbal?
Was this for charity?
I love that you love riding and hanging with friends more than all the rest aspects, that is why you can do what you do!
I loved watching Tristans vlog on this ruclips.net/video/g23TSsCLTTs/видео.html
wonder how much his ftp increased after doing this
Seems obvious you could say
The worlds most important cyclist.
Nice but the alt Tour was something else
