What other ultra-endurance challenges would you like to see Mark take on?
The ev12 cycle route from start to finich
RAAM
Around the world in 10/20days. 🤣🙌🏻
C'mon, let him take a rest!😂
Thank you for converting km to miles
GCN really is becoming a true film production company. The likes of Mark Beaumont and Andrew Feather really add a whole new dimension. Well done.
Advertising Company !!
@@waynesmith4589 So what?
@@GarethRules It means you can never trust the reviews , which is what we need if you’re going to spend your hard earn dosh 💰
@@waynesmith4589 oh PO ffs
@@waynesmith4589 dude, every media company is advertising company. They advertise something, GCN never claim as "review" company.
The man, Mark Beaumont is a machine.
The Mark bot 🤖
for guys from kona or ironmans he is nothing special
@@damianzurowski1018they’re all machines haha
We saw Mark when he had about 50 miles to go, climbing out of Helmsdale on his way back south to Inverness. Brilliant achievement !
Thanks for coming out to support Mark! 🎉
This was a brilliant watch of a monumental effort. Anything with Marc is always an instant watch, sometimes more than once. Also, well done to Robbie Mitchell for setting such a hard time previously.
Robbie did a great ride 🙌 Keep your eyes peeled for the full length doc on GCN+
Wow, what a super ride! Mark's ability to focus on the task at hand while dealing with the pain and fatigue is unbelievable. Congratulations.
It's incredible to watch 👀
Of all the GCN presenters to have with Mark, Hank is the one. He has been on some epic rides on his own and with Mark, plus he seems such a positive character to have around.
The mental and physical strength is inspiring, congrats Mark.
He smashed it 🙌
Mark continues to excel throughout the hardest challenges. 👏 Super human effort!
His mental strength is amazing! 🤯
based on what I've seen of Hank, I think it'd be amazing to have him on your support team, and I don't care what it is your doing. You could be in line at a cafeteria and no matter how terrible the food was you'd feel like you won with Hank cheering you on as you tried to get through it
Worlds best cheer leader 📣
@@gcn and madman in his own way!
The mental toughness to remain committed and focused throughout the challenge really is admirable. Not to mention the physical strain Mark is able to endure. A superb achievement, well done Mark
Glad you enjoyed the video 🙌
@@gcn Yep, this is great GCN content. Loved it.
Have to say, not only an amazing effort but also the production of the video does it justice too.
Mix it all together and its a modern day masterpiece
Mark is an absolute legend. Insane ride. Love the hank and Mark bromance
Think Hank was happy to sit this one out 🥵
Can you all imagine how much effort is put into these records, like as a student athlete cyclists this is like an inspiration to me
Glad we could get you fired up 🔥
I love that Hank is there for him to support him. Still a GCN team.
Hank is GCNs best cheer leader 📣
Fantastic effort Mark and crew. What an epic ride and a film that really shows what these records are like to do. Chapeau.
What an achievement for the team and a unique athlete, you did Scotland proud…again
Thank Ian! 👍
Wow, unbelievable. Well done Mark.
Thanks GCN for taking us along for the ride 👍👍
Inspiring ride, great, wonderful support team and super audio / video work. Mark Beaumont is absolutely amazing!
MASSSSIVE KUDOS MARK AND THE SUPPORTING TEAM what an inspiration i feel like going for a long ride by watching this!! incredible !!
Loved every second of the video, great story line, well-paced and serious segments from Hank, amazing editing, epic shots. Also props to the whole support crew who pulled out a 29-hour shift focusing and driving around.
I love watching these 2, whatever they are up to, their friendship makes for good watching, and I am in awe of their adventures
Love this, really great work everybody (especially Mark!). I like how the team has developed to handle Mark's attitude on the bike (it's tough!); what a great team he has around him. Every time I watch, I just want to get out and ride
That was absolutely immense!! What a machine Mark Beaumont is!! Huge well done to him and all involved in this record-breaking effort! A truly excellent watch! 👏🙌
Well done, Mark. Just amazing. Robbie had set such an amazing time, and this effort to surpass it was phenomenal.
Massive inspiration! Well done! After his disappointing summer with RAAM it's so cool that he was able to put that training to use in smashing this record
I've cycled the nc500. The fact he did this in just over 1 day is absolutely incredible. I cannot even imagine how difficult this must've been. What an absolute legend.
Anyone else that has ridden the route would agree, amazing ride 💪
how long does it take a mere mortal to cycle that? thanks
@@toosas I trained for 9 months having never ridden a road bike before. I'm quite lucky where I am in Scotland that a 15 mile route was around 1.5k of climbing so that was my training for a long time. I upped the distances as I rode more. Then I rode around the Isle of Dunoon as a typical nc500 day for us which was an eye opener for me in terms of time in the saddle and nutrition. Our team completed it over 7 days for charity.
@@sh-mufc wow, welld one you, also thanks for putting it into perspective - this guy is super human!
Hank you're a champ for providing all the support.
What an absolute Monster, I am blown away with this epic result, well done Mark and the team as without them it would not be possible, much Kudos....👍
Fantastic achievement, well done Mark and well done to your support crew too!
Such an amazing rider blows me away every time I watch something about Mark Beaumont.. a huge inspiration 👍🤩🚴🏅
Epic. Love these videos, keep them coming!
Amazing job! Truly inspiring. Well done Mark and the entire Team.
Well done to Mark! love to see him on GCN. He truly is a beast. Everybody need a Hank as support in their life.
Goose pumps just watching this monumental achievement! Congrats to Mark! Thank You The Team! Even this is a Man versus physics without a team, love and faith it would be impossible.. Mark, what a cycling!!! 🤩
Congratulations Mark and the whole support team, it takes a village. I love your adventures Thank you
Cross Canada. Did that in my teens and it took 30 days - it would be amazing to see Mark do this. Epic, amazing wild country for much of the way. Like Scotland, long long days in the summer. Agree with the comment that your films are getting better and better - absolutely engaging.
Big congratulations on setting a new world record! The planning, execution and team work is truly world record class. Makes me a proud owner of an Argon18 e119 Tri+ disc bike as well 🎉❤
Having taken on the NC500, I know how tough it really is. I was truly drawn to tears watching this production and all I can say is "Chapeaux" and a massive "Well done" to Mark Beaumont for his efforts.
Wow! Awesome achievement! Congratulations on the record Mark! Awesome production again GCN 👌🏻😁
Congratulations Mark, that was an amazing ride! Thank you GCN for such an awesome video
Thanks for watching Tim, glad you enjoyed it 🙌
Thats some next level focus by mark, even taking shorter breaks to keep the momentum going. Absolutely inspiring stuff.
Absolutely top plaudits to Mark and the team … Marks immense determination, dedication and sheer grit to push through the pain and fatigue is so admirable…. Awesome efforts ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
He's a real inspiration 🤯
That was incredible. Mark is an absolute monster. The team are all amazing for supporting him. Thank you for making this.
Thanks Olly! Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Absolutely fantastic, many congratulations on the new record!
I rode NC500 last year, crazy to for mark to complete in under 29 hours. Well done again! 😁
Incredible. Congrats to Mark and his team!
I am speechless what an effort... amazing work by the support crew... congratulations to all...
Thanks for watching 👀
Immense effort and stunningly captured. Well done all, that was incredible. (That bike looks and sounds weaponous too.)
Everytime I see one of Marks challenges he inspires me and I'm sure many others to keep going whatever you're doing.
Outstanding effort by all involved. Congratulations Mark
Those drone shots at 14:18 and 14:30 😍... Incredible production from GCN, again.
Capturing human endurance and performance at the peak of what is currently possible - just awe inspiring. Well done to all involved in this challenge and to those who have pioneered before, setting the bar so high.
Mark truly has set the bar with this one! 💪
Great work done by the filming crew too. That drone shots were splendid.
Congratulations Mark what an outstanding effort big thumbs up to you and your outstanding crew 👍👍👍
Amazing achievement and great filming GCN! 💪🏼
Mark Beaumont is a legend! Always love seeming him on the channel!
We love having Mark take on these crazy challenges 💪
Simply stunning images!!! What an amazing record breaking ride, and what an amazing team 👏Congrats Mark and to everyone involved 👏
Mark Beaumont you sir are a true inspiration. You determination has a ripple effect across the wider audience. Truly deserved and let's not forget the team you had around you. It's people like you that show us all that anything is possible. GCN, great effect! This is brilliant content! I personally would love to see a series of Documentaries of the worlds touch challenges show on a wider platform, with the support from Netflix etc... Again, well done to Mark, to his team and to all those who showed there support. Thanks for sharing this GCN. Looking forward to the next instalment where Hank rides the NC500 taking on 500 coffees 😉🤣👏🏼👏🏼
Hi Tony thanks for the kind words. Have you looked into GCN+ our subscription service, it's brimming with great adventure docs. A full length version of this challenge coming soon! 🎬
On the text at the start, it's stated that Mark set the inaugural record at 32 hours. It was actually just under 38 hours. James McCallum brought it down to 32 hours 23 min in 2016. That stayed until Josh Quigley then took another hour out of it in 2020 (31 hours 19 mins), and then Robbie Mitchell then smashed that last year down to 29 hours and 5 minutes.
A remarkable set of achievements by all concerned over the years, chapeau !
What's the total elevation on this route?
Wow phenomenally impressive, and not forgetting the support team!
Ive listened to quite a few podcasts with MB. He is a humble, interesting, articulate and engaging person. Thoroughly enjoy hearing his views and analysis as he is clearly intelligent and able to convey his views in an accessible way for all to appreciate
Thanks Joe, Mark is great! We love shooting with him ❤️
Wonderful! What a man! I think I've watched all of Mark's epic challenges and find them so inspiring. I've ridden on and off for 40 plus years and at 62, recovering from blood cancer (Chronic Lymphocytic Luekemia), I'm doing the 100 mile route of Ride London next May in aid of Blood Cancer. Nothing compared to Mark's typical mileage but I'll be re-watching a few of these to put wind in my sails!
A few Mark Beaumont videos for inspiration and a great cause to support - you won't even notice the hills! All the best for next May 👍
What a machine and what a team! Huge congrats Mark! Another truly breathtaking and epic film! Bravo everyone involved!
Thanks Pete!
Wow, what an effort! Really enjoyed that. Well done to all involved.
We did this in 5 days and were f@%ked. This video really doesn't highlight how tough some of the climbs are. Mark makes it look easy!
This is what GCN is all about, loved it, Mark is a hero x
So happy for Mark. He works so hard, GCN is lucky to have him. I've seen everything with him in it, but it never gets old, I just want more. The white kit was striking and beautiful. Great job.
Keep your eyes peeled on GCN+, full doc dropping soon 👀
@@gcn Can't wait.
Well done sit. A brilliant example, thanks for sharing.
Brilliant Mark, having cycled the route, as Nikki says you are a beast.
That was tough. Well done Mark. Also well done the bike designers and kit suppliers.
Incredible video, thanks GCN
This is phenomenal. Unbelievable to watch. Amazingly filmed and edited.
What an awesome video! Absolutely loved the little bits from Mark telling us how he felt.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙌
Amazing and inspirational Mark and crew, well done you. Cheers from Australia
Our pleasure! Glad you liked it
That was amazing! 👏 Bravo to Mark and extra thanks to his team for making it possible!
Glad you enjoyed the video 💪
From following Mark for a while I was inspired to give the NC500 in under three days a ago and managed to succeed. Massively inspirational ride but don’t think I will be trying a sub 29 NC500! Great job and keep up the fast work!
Wow! Amazing ride!!! Well documented GCN!
Another phenomenal effort from Mark Beaumont, I’d be happy completing that in six days!
Magnificent effort and achievement. Chapeau Mark Beaumont.
AWESOME!!! well done Mark and to all the team and congratulations!! 🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴
Unbelievable achievement Mark is a machine. Great production from GCN 👏 👏
Well done, the filming, the effort just perfectly done from the whole GCN team and also Mark.
