Munda Biddi Dreaming // An Ultra Cycling Record Film
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 фев 2025
- In November 2023 I embarked on a record attempt along the Worlds Longest Continuous Bike Trail, The Munda Biddi Trail in Australias South West.
1067km in length and with 14,000km of elevation, the weather couldn’t have been more challenging. The hottest November temperatures on record, I set off in 40’C heat and battled the elements for 60hrs. Snakes, kangaroos, wild dogs, spiders, bushfires and 80km/hr head winds, with just 17 minutes of sleep, I arrived at the finish line...
Following the ride, we visited roughly 5,000 children in schools along the trail in the remote South West to talk about the power of dreaming and the importance of exercise on our mental health.

As a fellow West Australian who has ridden lots of those trails and been out on the bike in our dust and heat I cannot imagine how absolutely hard core this achievement is - Jack this is superhuman and absolutely inspiring!
Really appreciate it! It was a hard old slog, but knowing it would help to inspire others made it all the more important to keep trucking on! Hope you’re managing to enjoy some time on the trails this winter 🙌🏽
@@jackultracyclistofficial For sure - much nicer when it is cooler and the rain has made the pea gravel grippier! Ride on!
I can imagine!! Enjoy 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Just watched this with my 10 and 8 year old sons. Super inspiring! My 8 year old just started riding his bike last weekend (I know he's a bit old, but he wasn't interested until now). Greetings from Brooklyn!
Big thanks for your generous contribution mate!! I hope the kids enjoyed the film and that you guys can get out together and enjoy the trail adventures too!
Glad you loved the video!

50 hrs without sleep and he punishes himself by listening to James Blunt. Give the man a medal immediately

Great adventure mate. You are one reason I took cycling more seriously and after my mom’s death I got into triathlon. Sports really is the best therapy and suffering together with others creates a special kind of bond
I appreciate it mate and so stoked to hear that you’ve found the sport helps ❤️❤️ Sorry to hear about the passing of your mum. Hope you’re doing well mate!
Thanks
Appreciate it BT! Love ya lots ❤️❤️❤️
Incredible Jack.. what a legend truley an epic adventure and achievement.. ❤ Chapeau.. you have my upmost respect 🚴🏻👍 I have no words.. Pete 🚴🏻👍💪
Thanks a lot Pete, really appreciate it mate!!
Amazing Jack. What an achievement. Thanks for sharing
My pleasure!
Chapeau, Jack. What an achievement! I'm doing my furthest ever ride in a few weeks, 150 miles across the UK. I have been dreading it but after watching this, I'm convinced I have the strength to dig deep & do it.
You 200% have the strength to do it and then ride home again!! Enjoy the ride, I’m sure this is just the beginning of the long stuff for you!!
You’re a legend Jack. I love that you stopped off at the local communities on your way back and inspired so many youngsters. I wish I had had an encounter like that when I was a youngster. I got into cycling in my mid 50’s and now at 63 am finding motivation to keep on pedalling from folks like you. Thank you. 👏🏽💪🏽👊🏽
Thanks so much mate. Messages like these mean a lot 🙏🏽 I hope to see some of the kids we interacted with smashing my record on the trail one day 💪🏽😁
Absolutely brilliant effort. Well done.
Thanks Craig 🙌🏽
What a privilege to join in on this insane ride. Thank you for allowing us to see what you accomplished from afar. So inspirational.
Thanks so much, I’m stoked you enjoyed it!
What an achievement, congratulations. Ive ridden sections of the MB and im always certain to get lost....😂
Thanks so much for your support, it means a lot!!!
Absolutely loved working with you on this project Jack. An epic journey. A gritty test with every obstacle you can imagine and more. And a social cause that brings a difference to the community. I still remember the way those kids faces lit up when you spoke with them about achieving their dreams. Amazing work mate - we love working with you!
Was a pleasure mate. So good to team up again and work on this project. Love your professionalism and easy going nature. Can’t wait for the next adventure together!! Just too bloody many to choose from!!!
“It’s a little bit warm”. A classic Australian understatement.
😂😂
great story, great effort...and obviously completely mad. I think whatever we ride, we always go through some of the same thing - the dip, the last part going on and on etc. whether its 100km or a 1000km..... great inspiration.
Absolutely, we can all relate to the same sensations. Hope you’re well mate, appreciate your ongoing support 🙏🏽
Well done Jack. Really inspiring stuff. No idea how you did it, I remember how hot that week was!
I can still feel the heat!!
Amazing film Jack and such an inspiring challenge! Epic achievement. Beautiful message behind it. Chase your dreams.
Thanks so much!!
you are an absolute legend, Jack!! Thanks for doing what you are doing. Huge inspiration to set off and test my own limits!
Thanks mate! So stoked you’ve been inspired 🤘🏽🤘🏽 Go chase that dream!
Jack you’re truly inspirational. I have been waiting for over 5 months for this vid. I rode 20 km of the trail out of Walpole at Xmas and it was a great experience. To then visit the schools after was special.
I could be wrong at 22:33 into the vid, was that a quick visit to the boys at Scotch College.
If so, I’m sure that was special to you?
Onwards to the next ride Jack. Thank you for sharing your life experiences with us! 👊
Thanks so much for the great response 🙏🏽 it really is an epic trip right?!
You’re spot on, Scotch was my old school so was great to go back and chat with the boys 😁
@@jackultracyclistofficial easy picking Scotch College, my son graduated 2010 in Brisbane House. Repped Australia in Road & Track Cycling. They certainly have a successful presence on the World Stage. Keep on pedalling Jack you are changing lives. 🏆
Awesome stuff!! I was a Stuart house lad!
Félicitation vraiment un très grand bravo chapeau 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🚴🏻♂️👍
Merci!

Great to see you still doing your thing buddy. Great video, really inspiring.

Glad you liked the video!!
Outstanding effort Jack, you really pushed the boundaries of what the body can accomplish. Can't wait to attempt the trail myself but planning on getting far more sleep in my effort!
Keep up the great work 👍

@@jackultracyclistofficial Yes it was amazing thanks, forgot how great the French roads are compared with the pothole fest in the U.K. 😂
I was on the trail 2 weeks prior Jack and it was bloody hot. Not sure how you did what you did in that heat, time and sleep debt. Beast mode! Congrats mate.
Hope you enjoyed your time out there.its an incredible trail right?!
@@jackultracyclistofficial it certainly is Jack. World class trail.
fantastic!
Thank you! Cheers!
So Inspiring, I have been waiting to watch this since you completed it and it was a great insight into what you went through. Well done on achieving yet another incredible goal and well done team on capturing it on video!
Cheers Ben! Pumped you enjoyed it and sorry it’s taken so long to come out!!
Thanks Ben - glad you loved the video!
That’s nuts! 😂 Mind blowing effort mate! The Munda Biddi is a bucket list item for most of us cyclists, but you’ve taken it to the next level! Well done mate 👏👏👏
Thanks mate! It's such an amazing trail. Id love to get back and do it over 10 days. Hope you get to spend some time on the trail soon!
Incredible feat man 🙌🏻 keep rolling👍🏻 love following your journey. Respect.
Thanks dude, appreciate the love! 🙏🏽🤘🏽❤️
Nice ride! 👌
Thanks! 🙌🏽
I am an avid cyclist and bikepacker but Ultra distance videos usually turn me off, not yours. The humility and down to earth nature of your personality really drew in and made your achievement relatable. That and the fact it was to help raise awareness for a good cause has turned me into a fan. Congratulations from a new subscriber
Hey Dave, really appreciate the kind comment and thrilled to learn that you enjoyed the film. Appreciate the support and welcome to the channel!
Wonderful. Inspirational. Congratulations! 🙏
Thankyou 🙏🏽😁
Awesome work Jack, way to hammer and way to pass it forward! 😃🔥
Cheers JB!!
Always inspiring. Keep doing what your doing to bring awareness to mental health
Thanks a lot Derek, appreciate it mate 🙏🏽👊🏽
Great inspiring video Jack. Well done on an epic ride. Perfect viewing timing for me as I will aiming to run across the Simpson Desert at the end of the month. Thx for the inspiration
All the best for you Simpson Desert run mate. Enjoy it! 🔥🤘🏽
Absolutely incredible ride mate. Your persistence & determination is inspirational, especially in such brutal conditions. Congratulations
Appreciate it mate! When you coming over to Spain so we can ride together again?! Miss ya brother 🤙🏽❤️
Congrats! 🎉 😊
Cheers!
What an inspiration - thanks Jack!
Cheers!!
you rock dude. been chipping away at getting back in form after a bad concussion and other injuries. this sort of stuff really pushes me to keep going
Keep on chipping away mate, you’ll be back to full health in no time 💪🏽💪🏽
Nice one Jack. I’ve been eyeing off this trail - not to break a record but to give it a go. Thanks for the inspiration.
I can’t recommend highly enough, you’ll love it mate 🙌🏽😁
5 seconds in and I already gave you a thumbs up! Well done Jack!
Thanks a heap! Hope the rest lived up to expectations!!
Great video
Thanks!
Congratulations on the record and thanks for recording it!
Cheers!
Awesome! Inspiring stuff from you once again! Doing some great work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Needs an international bike race. Lots of competitive types across the globe would move heaven and earth to race that.
Anyone that rides it, be it for fun or a race will enjoy the experience 👌🏽👌🏽
Fully epic effort...
Great job Jack...
So glad for you buddy...
Appreciate it Rebecca!
Amazing mate! More content like this please.
More to come next few months!
Incredible effort mate. What a stunning performance. Well done to you
Appreciate it Wazza!
Amazing ride! I first heard about your record while riding the Munda Biddi a couple of months ago. Given our MUCH longer itinerary, it sounded like an impossibly fast time. Great to see how you did it and the commitment and effort it took.
Hope you enjoyed your time on the trail too mate!!
Top effort 👍
Cheers!
Well done Jack....tourism WA should be donating big time.
Thanks Steve, would be great to align on a project with them. Unfortunately no support with this one 😔
I rode the Munda Biddi two months before you but took 11 days for it...absolutely beautiful ride
It’s an amazing ride. Hope you enjoyed the time out on the trail 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Awesome effort, fella, very inspiring.
Cheers, stoked you enjoyed it 🤙🏽
Awesome and I m your big fan from Bhutan
Thanks mate! I hope to return to Bhutan one day soon!!
WOW! 60hrs without sleep, what an incredible feat.
I managed to grab 17 minutes of sleep towards the back end, and I tell you.. I’m still catching up!
Congratulations!!
Thank you!!
Legend
Thankyou!
What a legend!
Appreciate it!
Such a great trail! Amazing video 😃
It’s such an amazing trail!! Thankyou 😁🙏🏽
Thank you!!
I did my first everesting on a bike yesterday, 20 hours, (i've done multiple on foot before), and jeez my butt hurts😂
I really enjoyed it though, mainly mashing loads of food in my mouth though🤑 your vids helped me prepare mentally
Congrats!! How did you find it?!
How long does a foot Everest take?! My knees feel sore just thinking about it 😂😂
Stoked the vids helped you to prepare 😁🤘🏽
Congrats Jack, well done.
That’s a lot 🙏🏽
Bro, why not just go in Spring. You are going on Munda Biddi in middle of summer. Mad lad.
Ohhh man, if I could have I would have haha. The heat was bonkers 🥴🥴
@jackultracyclistofficial glad you did it though. I tried to get Vegan Cyclist to come and do it but glad you beat him to it
So impressive!! Way to battle through, and possibly inspire dreams for others, while achieving one of your own! Great video as well! 🎉👏💪
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the positive comment 😁😁
Well done Jack, awesome achievement. Given it’s a record I’m intrigued why you haven’t released Strava or any public info on your ride? Would be good to see.
Cheers Brett. It’s unfortunate that the Garmin I was using died right towards the end of the ride and I had to revert to using the phone for nav. We believe it was due to the spikes and troughs of electricity from the dynamo over two days of riding. The Garmin inreach data was used to accurately validate the timing at the finish 🙌🏽
My deepest respect! Did you had any issues with your bike? Cheers from Rockingham mate !!! 🤙
Not one mechanical! Hope all is well down in Rocky mate 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Hi Jack congratulations on your amazing journey. In your planning was it assessed that riding the trail North to South was the best option? Or was that guided by the previous record. Is your ride on Strava or Komoot. Good to see the Aussie pie was part of the nutrition plan, cheers
Thankyou! Logistically we just wanted to finish in Albany so we could then make our way back to Perth via the schools. I’m unsure which direction would have been more favourable with winds etc, but I did enjoy uncovering the different terrain as I moved south! I’ve got a corrupted Garmin file which were still trying to recover 😣 The dynamo hub seems to have overcooked the head unit somehow.
How did the aero rack workout? I have one but didn’t know if I should use it on my carbon frames? Thanks for clearing that up! Great video, good job!
Works great, I’m a big fan! No issues at all on this trip 😁
That was absolutely epically mad! 🤯 Chapeau! 🙌
Does anyone know the rack and bags that are being used on the bike?
Also, is that a K-Lite on the front?
Cheers👍😊
Cheers Lee! The rack and rear bag is made by Aeroe and yes, good spot, it's a K'Lite up front 💡
Awesome,how many days to recover the sleep 😁
I’m still catching up 😂😂
Is that the roubaix you are riding?
I have tarmac sl7 but i regret not buying a gravel instead...makes me limited in where to go...but also have pain on my wrist gooing on a +100mile ride..
For the rest...
This short movie was epic!!!!
I feel so inspired...
I wanne do a ride from Belgium to Spain whats also like a 1200km ride 😊
This is the Diverge mate, it’s a through and through gravel rig 🤘🏽
I ride the Roubaix 99% of the time and honestly think it’s the best bike on the market. Fast, aero, comfortable and can now tolerate 40mm tyres. It’s a performance road bike, but there’s nothing it can’t do really!!
Appreciate the positive comment, get yourself on a Roubaix, you’ll love it 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Awesome ride and top video, thanks for posting and congrats on the FKT. What's the tack plating at the 18 minute mark, sounds like Tim Hecker?
Thanks mate! It’s a good question, music was all from Artlist, so I’d say it’s probably just a similar vibe to Mark Hecker!
What kind of rack are you using to hold the orange bag?
It’s an Aeroe rack 👊🏽
Thanks for swift reply. I'll check out their website.
A very impressive ride!
14,000 km of elevation?
14,000m 🙌🏽
Maybe have a crack at it in winter?
Gets cold down that way too, hard to pick the conditions, but would love to ride it again with a bunch of mates 👌🏽
🙋🙋
@@jackultracyclistofficialI thought you were crazy doing it in Nov. 'Cooked', like you mentioned. Survived tho!😊
Maybe one day again during Spring? at cruisy pace👍🐹
Absolutely, couldn’t me in for a spring, 10 day tour! Bliss!
Deal! 🙌🏽
No good comes from listening to James Blunt mate.
I must be an outlier 😂
This track represent a big waste of money by the department that created it I think it was DEC back then, they change their name every few years in an attempt to divert public backlash.
I was working for them at the time
And we ran a survey on Munda biddi trail use ...people use short sections of it on average, there are many many boggy sand sections that make it a horror over the entire distance, it was a monumental waste of money for the tax payers
It’s a shame you think that. In my opinion the Munda Biddi is a world class facility that is drawing more and more tourism to the South West, not to mention an amazing offering for local walkers and riders alike. I support the trail and all that they wish to achieve 💪🏽🙏🏽
@@jackultracyclistofficial I support that and it is an adventure for sure
But also true is what I've said from the past
smashing records not its purpose.
Riding the Munda Biddi is the purpose, no matter the speed…
3:23 "It is what it is" 🫣
