    What is the biggest that you've ever done and where was it? Let us know 🙌

  • @oliverbridgewood3929

    Thanks for all the kind comments! Glad so many of you enjoyed the video. A lot of work went into training for this and the team who filmed and edited it did a phenomenal job!

    Dr. Bridgewood is such a beast!

    I followed Ollie on the semi-live map and tracking provided by the organizers and I was stoked when I learned that he finished 6th. This is massive, and the physical and mental endurance required for this is mind-blowing. Total respect and inspiration.

  • @mathiasthelander7834

    You know Oliver is a true brit when he manages to findthe energy to insult the french even during this! Brilliant film and awesome effort!

  • @gefloigle

    Reminder: Ollie dropped Contador.

  • @ashleyhouse9690

    This is my favourite style of GCN video. No pissing about with gimmicks, just pure cycling heart. Congrats Ollie Bridgewood. 👍👍👍

  • @matthewrepucci3564

    "When I did this before, I lost ten places, and I'm worried that it will happen again... " You are a different rider now Ollie! Absolutely epic!!

  • @craigdyson1761

    “Over the last 28 hours I’ve had 45 minutes sleep!” and then smiles at the camera. 😂 Chapeau Ollie. Tremendous effort!

    "Fench cobbles... Put them anywhere" lmao. Great video and I love how you communicate the utter suffering and sense of accomplishment of completing an ultra. Keep going!

  • @DslainteC

    So inspirational! The next time my legs/knees/butt hurts I’ll remember Ollie carrying on while being unable to lift his head up. A ferocious effort worthy of much praise!

    I love how Ollie's accent got broader and broader the more tired he got. Amazing effort!

  • @Seppster58

    I had a tear in my eye when Ollie reached the summit. I have been a huge fan for a long time and watched him grow into such an epic rider over the years. Is he our new Mark Beaumont?? And kudos to the crew. Without them, this journey could not be shared with all of us. Well done all. Love GCN!!🤩😍

    I don't always comment, but when I do, it's because Ollie is magnificent. Well done, Dr Bridgewood. Well done indeed.

  • @shaun7163

    They say that endurance events are all about spirit and mindset. Hundreds of kilometres into the ride, aching and in pain, Ollie was somehow still cheery, cracking jokes. What a ride, what a man, so inspiring!

  • @beermonster1234

    Bravo Ollie. You continue to push yourself and it’s mightily impressive to witness. Chapeau sir.

  • @ZOB4
    @ZOB4  +23

    Ollie is an absolute hero. What makes him even more so is that he is the presenter of the people. Much love to Ollie, and a hardy GREAT JOB to the crew - that is its own unique challenge, and they've done an outstanding job.

  • @djrlloyd

    Having just completed a 320km event I have watched this in absolute awe. Chapeau Ollie and everyone that finished this brutal challenge. This is super human stuff. Great video too.

  • @jamesrowe4861

    It would’ve been awesome to know how Ollie recovered after this insane ride. Massive kudos to Ollie, this one blew up my little brain. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

  • @MyPrivateViewing

    A true inspiration to all cyclists! Anyone who can finish that ride is in a class of heir own! Well done and a trillion kudos to Ollie! Always a joy to see your passion on the bike!
