Awesome effort Cam. Wise to listen to the signs of heatstroke, go for medical assistance and duck out of final stage. No shame. I did same whilst riding in Colombia. Felt first effects, stopped and got in support van. One guy in group didn’t listen and is lucky to be alive. He lost all sense of direction and went over the edge of the climb. Fortunately he was spotted, rescued and taken to hospital. All the time delirious fighting and hitting out at his rescuers. His heart went into overload and docs had to stop his heart and reset it a few times. Don’t mess with heatstroke it could be ☠️. Chris
Yeah man, it's a tough one to take. Was having heart palpitations too the night more which added to the decision. But luckily all okay. Glad you were too!
I live in that heat since I was a child......the heat itself is no problem but dwelling under the sun without shelter for extended periods of time is just foolish, also people that have no choice and have to work under the sun (like builders or farmers) don't drink much water after the sunrise till sunset.....the more you drink the more you sweat the more dehydrated you'll be. However you have my respect for trying something as extreme as this.
Dude.Awesome effort and you did the right thing,health first,better prep next time. Mtbing is great in N.Z you should come. Sub antarctic to sub tropical,mountains to sea,desert and rain forest,an outdoor paradise.
….that looks brutal, heatstroke is no joke, I had it once just out hiking in the sun, you just feel so ill and weak, and I was the same water did nothing. A cold bath for 30 mins helped. Scary stuff, big effort.
Great video mate, you persevered and achieved a lot! Glad you are alright and motivated to have another go. Any plans for another ultra endurance race? It might be your niche.
excellent job!! I can’t believe how much differently (harder) your video portrays Titan over the promo videos they put out!! much respect, heat is a killer!! 👍
Epic effort Cam. That looked so tough especially for an Irish lad not used to such intense heat! Hope you found the nearest McDonald's and got yourself the biggest feed.
Hi bro, I hope you and yours are all well and I'm sorry I haven't been commenting on all of you recent videos....there have been loads!!! This particular vid shows the work of a genuine O.G.the game! To notice the little stick formation at the bottom of that tree was beautiful....a small break pushed down and then surrounded by small leans. Not many would pick up on that bro. Good on you and fairplay. Love and full respect from a sunny UK (for a change) 💚🪴🙏
Morocco is a very beautiful country I enjoy every time a long bike ride, there is snow, desert, jungle, seas, everything is there, cold weather, warm to hot, one the same day and the same country
@@Cameron_Jeffers It will suit you a lot in the north of Morocco, because it has a somewhat cold climate, forests and breathtaking views You are welcome anytime
OMG I had heatstroke when I was 16 and still remember it to this day! Chapeau for going as far as you did..... I did the London ride 100 Sunday in 21 degrees! on a Brompton! And where you were it was 40 degrees ! That is like an air fryer 😝
This is an amazing video, Cam! New bucket list event to try. You made the right call pulling out though - no shame in it, and often all part of the experience of these extreme events. Props to ya mate
Brilliant well done, loved following your adventure. I was engrossed with your regular updates throughout the race when you probably weren't in the mood and pushing yourself to the extreme. You going to attempt it again with a bit more preparation? 👍💪💪
You Have More Stages Completed Than I - What An Adventurous Episode There Brother Cam - Like WoW - Where Did The Gravel Bike Gal Finish - How Many Days Later Before You Felt "normalized" Again Stay Rowdy , Cheers
Amazing effort! Not to mention documenting it all too 😅. Listening to your body in that state is crucial, heatstroke can turn fatal very quickly - so you set a good example. Well at least the viewers have the upside that we might get to watch you do it all over again (minus heatstroke 🤞🏻)! This might be a stupid question, but were you taking on plenty of electrolytes as well as water?
I mean, you're from Lancs. We struggle with the heat when it gets in the high 20s, so fair play getting that far. Looked brutal and those endless, dull stages with no scenery or signs of life. Blimey.
Did the girl on the gravel bike make it? Guessing her forearms and hands definitely wouldn't have without having suspension, but curious to know if the rest of her did 😅 I personally think the rides/races/routes where a gravel bike performs the best are few and far between. Definitely in the UK anyways.
I will never understand how we can take a plane to fly to distant location to cycle. That's completely anachronic. When I lived in the UK, I saw tons of people flying around the world for fun. I hope all of this won't detract the climate to a point such that I won't be able to cycle around my place peacefully for the rest of my life. That's not sure though. But it seems you enjoyed these few days, so it was probably worth my future years.
Great effort Cam, Ain’t no joke MTB stage races, just done cape epic 8 day stage race myself and was hard, fortunately I was prepared. Should try some of the Spanish MTB stage races.

I love the ultra-distance documentary genre on TH-cam!
Bru, this was epic! Well endured, well documented, well inspirational and well done 🙌
I have been watching you since you went out with Cycling Mavern. I Think this is your best vid yet.
On fire again, Cam (almost literally!) Keep this content coming!

One of your best videos that Cam loved it! Welldone 👏
That looked absolutely brutal. Lancashire doesn't prepare you for that but incredible effort!
That was fucking great mate. Feeling very inspired to take on something crazy
Dude.Awesome effort and you did the right thing,health first,better prep next time.
Mtbing is great in N.Z you should come.
Sub antarctic to sub tropical,mountains to sea,desert and rain forest,an outdoor paradise.

Amazing. What an effort. Brutal
Phenomenal effort well done thats one tough event great content.
Great video mate, you persevered and achieved a lot! Glad you are alright and motivated to have another go. Any plans for another ultra endurance race? It might be your niche.
Thanks Gavin!
Real Dune 2 vibes with this video. Well done mate
Awesome effort to get so far as you looked pretty fried by day 4. I hope now that you have cameras again there will be lots more vlogs!
Absolutely brilliant video, Cam! Brutal riding conditions. Amazing effort from you too.
excellent job!! I can’t believe how much differently (harder) your video portrays Titan over the promo videos they put out!! much respect, heat is a killer!! 👍
Great video Cam.
This is the best video you've done in a long time. Great video, more of this please!
Epic effort Cam. That looked so tough especially for an Irish lad not used to such intense heat! Hope you found the nearest McDonald's and got yourself the biggest feed.
Miguel Indurain huh, oh the company you keep Cam
Good effort. Can't help bad luck. This is probably one of your best videos.

So many questions. Need a full debrief video.
Morocco is a very beautiful country I enjoy every time a long bike ride, there is snow, desert, jungle, seas, everything is there, cold weather, warm to hot, one the same day and the same country
Yes! I'd love to come back and explore it some more, away from the race :)
@@Cameron_Jeffers It will suit you a lot in the north of Morocco, because it has a somewhat cold climate, forests and breathtaking views You are welcome anytime
Great video and MTB event. Thank you for sharing. Very nice Bike btw
Great effort and video, Cam! Curious as to how you find the Gamechanger helmet in the heat?
OMG I had heatstroke when I was 16 and still remember it to this day! Chapeau for going as far as you did..... I did the London ride 100 Sunday in 21 degrees! on a Brompton! And where you were it was 40 degrees ! That is like an air fryer 😝
Well done bud, very impressed!
This was great! Looked incredibly difficult.
My favourite video so far.
Awesome effort cam. Those turkey teeth are looking great on cam cam 😂
Another great video Cameron ❤ 9:33
thanks mat e
Epic video that mate. You’re a hero for carrying on as long as you did as it looked brutal. Looking forward to the sequel now! 😊
Next you need to do strath puffer (24h mtb race) in Scotland, in January.
Awesome video Cameron. Loved that ! 👏
Superb effort Cam considering the lack of prep. Back next year fully prepped to give it a real go perhaps
What did you have in the 7 liters of water? Hopefully sufficient minerals/carbs?
A wonderfully inspirational video. I can see this as your new vocation, with the right training, you would do well at these events. Good luck.
Super human effort. Well done man. You are a beast
crazy race, good luck on your next adventure.
This is an amazing video, Cam! New bucket list event to try. You made the right call pulling out though - no shame in it, and often all part of the experience of these extreme events. Props to ya mate
Wow how much weight did you lose by the end, you looked like skeletor at the start of stage 6!
Good job tho can 💪🏻
Really tough race. I can't stop thinking that that aero helmet must be hot as in the desert...
Great Video Cam the desert is amazing
Well done epic adventure. Just to be there is awesome.
I'd imagine finding the right hydration/electrolyte balance in such unfamiliar conditions would be really difficult. Great effort.
Brilliant well done, loved following your adventure. I was engrossed with your regular updates throughout the race when you probably weren't in the mood and pushing yourself to the extreme. You going to attempt it again with a bit more preparation? 👍💪💪
Great effort
Great video Cam! Love it.
That helmet look super hot with little vents 🥵🔥
It's an Abus Gamechanger
haha. Yeah. Definitley not the correct helmet choice
Just crazy, well done
Good effort, great video
That looked amazing but absolutely brutal. Fair play to you. I'm not sure the Abus game changer was the best choice for hot conditions though 🥵🥵

I need to remember to wipe my face after I've brushed my teeth. phahahha
Well done to you👏🏻and Alina👍🏻🫶🏻
Well done lad
Well this was fantastic :)
Thanks mate
Great video Cam. I assume Ribble have to accept you riding a Trek because they only make hardtails?
I mean, you're from Lancs. We struggle with the heat when it gets in the high 20s, so fair play getting that far. Looked brutal and those endless, dull stages with no scenery or signs of life. Blimey.
Kudos Cam looked brutal you did well nonetheless health first
Mate absolute props to you looks though af!!!
My question is why did you take a non vented aero helmet?
bad decision making.
what happened to gravel bike lady ?
Wow that was wild
that girl on the gravel - did she made it ? unbelievable 😮
Looked tough asf. Great effort though man
Only 40ºC'? I have at my garmin 56ºC of max temperature on 4th stage😱🌞🌞
Did the girl on the gravel bike make it? Guessing her forearms and hands definitely wouldn't have without having suspension, but curious to know if the rest of her did 😅
I personally think the rides/races/routes where a gravel bike performs the best are few and far between. Definitely in the UK anyways.
At least you will have some banging tan lines 😂
Was it just water you were drinking? What about electrolytes
You tried. Good effort
Heavy conditions there!!
Too bloody right!
@@Cameron_Jeffers need a week on the Sunbeds for acclimatisation to the heat next time !!
Man needed some crisps
Bro you should sign up for the Nedbank Desert Dash 🇳🇦
Yeah?!
Gosh - that was a tough watch! Sensible decision in the end. Well done ❤
You ride under Irish nationality? or is the team Irish?
Knob! 😂😂😂
40° doesn’t quite cut it. You have to say 104° F.
I will never understand how we can take a plane to fly to distant location to cycle. That's completely anachronic.

Spanish? They speak French there.
At least it made your teeth look nice and white !!
First
yeah
Nice one Jaffa

Thanks guys, it means a lot ❤️
Mate, you are looking far too lean
