- A very difficult day in the highlands of Scotland travelling east to west, 96 miles, on bike and foot.
Due to the terrible weather, the kayak section was removed from the race (if you can call it a race at that point)
See you there this year. Thanks! This 😂was one hell of a giggle 😂. Hoping mine is not quite as “eventful” weather wise! 😂 Well done!!
That wind was horrendous! Good video
Mark solid effort borther. I'm participating in the challenger event this year. This has given me a lot of insight into the race so thank you for this. Any tips/advice you can pass on for the event would be welcomed. Do you know how the majority of people carried all their kit for both days? Did they have frame/handbar bags? Got to think about carrying all my mandatory kit for the two days (as scottish weather is unpredicatable), my tent and all other stuff - it's going to be hard to fit it all on the bike
Haha, I did this! I'm glad someone caught it on camera so people will believe me how rough it was.
Did this event this year, saw you in the Fort William transition, captures the event fully, tough day out but one to remember, thanks for putting this footage together.
you are absolutly mad lads! did you do all the orr road cycling with a gravel bike, oder did you change to a mtb?
Off to do it next weekend! Hope the weather holds 🙏
Amazing effort lads, a mate and myself did the challenger version, I don't know how you pushed through Saturday to do the whole thing, that cycle was brutal, when we got to Fort Augustus we felt like hyperthermia was setting in! Well done!
Just finished watching this great film to remind myself how bad the conditions were that year for us. All been well going to go ahead this year- wind behind i hope !
Cheers for putting this together, I’m doing the challenger event this year. This is really helpful as it’s our first type of event like this.I guess weather really is a game changer.
what tyre size are you running? Looks like your bike was very stable in those winds and wet roads
i think we were both on 35 mm needle tread cross tyres. perfect for the conditions!
I did this in 2019 over the two days. Next day was gorgeous weather but, going over from Whitebridge in that howling wind and rain was definitely, character building, shall we say. Well done, no way I could expert and sadly you missed the best bit with the kayak but, maybe you will get to do it this year if you transferred :)
Fair play to you both, great achievement. I did the one day last year but the two day this year as was doing with a friend and I'm glad as I wouldn't have made the one day this year, it was just savage.
awesome video. Weather did hit you hard!
Signed up for experts. Just pulled the bike out today (well hello ya sexy bastard) Unfit, overweight but this video has given some inspiration. Haha tastes like ass. Technical term 😂
