- Solo British cyclist Jim Rees attempts to break the UK record for ‘the world’s toughest event’, the transcontinental 3000 mile Race Across America
A one-hour documentary charting the remarkable resilience and determination of an ordinary person accomplishing an extraordinary achievement. Cycling for 20 -21 hours every day for 12 days, the race crosses 14 states and four time zones. Encountering desert heat of 115 degrees and thin mountain air, the Race Across America is the most extreme cycling marathon for the world’s toughest athletes.
Starting in Oceanside, California and ending up in Atlantic City, New Jersey 3047 miles later, the varied terrains of America’s landscape serve as a beautiful backdrop for the challenge. Race Across America is an engaging portrait of one man’s inner belief, desire to inspire and relentless quest for the ultimate sporting achievement.
This was the first video I saw about this incredible race and just want to say that it has greatly inspired me to train and hopefully attempt it soon enough
Thank you very much for your kind comment! Wow, go for it! I wish you every success with the race. It truly is something else.
Look forward to seeing you in Maryland....I'll be there to cheer you on.
I don't wanna attempt it but I would like to do endurance riding and bicycle touring.
That is one Great Ending. Thank you Jim and team for showing what is possible when you believe.
Thank you very much. It was a pleasure to witness this.
Great video. I was a crew leader and therapist two years in a row. It is definitely a test of will for all involved. The hallucinations are the best. Crew members who can't handle the strain is the worst. I spent too much time keeping the crew calm and focused. Even with a couple months of training before-hand, the strain can effect the less emotionaly stable.
Great effort. Amazed this hasn't had more views. Fantastic stuff.
Thank you for your kind comment.
@@Swiftfilmsuk Your very welcome 👍
Such an inspiring film! As a fellow cyclist, I can certainly understand what goes into such an event as this. Appreciate all the hard work by the crew and rider and film producer. Major kudos to you all!
Thank you very much! It was an amazing experience and it felt incredible to witness / document what Jim achieved on that ride. Really appreciate your comment 🙂
Yes I'm surprised too, should be in the millions. I don't many people know about this race. Jim is the inspiration he hoped to be. Anything is possible, well done Jim
I have been aware of this race for years. I'm always surprised it's not a much bigger event.
Entry fee just for a team of 4 to participate is $8,000. Add to that the support crew, logistics, plane tickets, car rental, RV rental and bicycle spare parts and you're looking at a MINIMUM of $20k. So there's that!
@@tomasdiaz1974 True, but im sure the Tour De France is no free ride either. I would just like to see the race with more interest.
@@michael7324 More press coverage should certainly help! This race is a big deal when you think about it!
The first solo you completed Jim was incredible and i was proud to race for your team in the 8 man in 2008.
👍
This was so awesome to watch! Great going! Very inspirational.
Thank you very much!
So much respect for the whole team and really motivational; love from India. :)
Massive effort. Well done mate!

One word:
Lionheart
Thank you!
I could do this, no problem. Of course, it would take me about 50 weeks.
😂
I know the heat was getting to him. I've measured the temp reflecting off the road at 142ºF or 61ºC. You feel like you're being baked in an oven. You've definitely got to stay hydrated, which means drinking electrolytes continuously.
This is pushing your body and mind to extraordinary limits.... One helluva achievement. But to think about punishing yourself a 2nd time???
This is the kind of thing I am happy/sad that I didn't know about in my 30s, as I totally would have attempted
It’s a shame that the event isn’t more widely known about, especially here in the UK. Still, you’re never too old…
A cocky guy learned the hard way :)
“I can massage you on the toilet 🚽” What a champ, props to her lmao
I had forgotten about that moment! Yes, props to her for that offer 😂
I will tell my kids this was Psyched Substances
Looks like everyone bit off more than they could, oh wait...huuuuufff, huff, awwwawwwawa! bbaarrfff... chew.
Ah yes
*steel ball run*
Very true 😂
Stupid things people do.
😂
Torture
stupid effort. just ego. he didnt enjoy a single moment of it.
He enjoyed the end of it. Can't disrespect this man by using 'stupid' either. He biked across the goddamn United States in a bicycle. All you did was mash the keyboard, you tiny man
@@joecalderon7088 I can have whatever opinion I like. I think it is stupid and he clearly didn't enjoy it. Now get back in your box Joey boy.
not at all, finding and fighting your demon is not stupid at all. I don't want to judge you, but could it be that you are frustrated with yourself?
Respect
Thank you!
