- Wales is a stunning country, and there's plenty to enjoy for cyclists - mountains, valleys, beautiful countryside - so why not try to take it all in in one go? That's exactly what Hank and Ollie have set out to do, armed with the latest Giant TCR, their goal is to ride the length of Wales in a day!

Do you fancy attempting to ride the length of Wales in a day? Or even another country? Let us know👇
I'm actually doing this next week (not in a day though) - as part of my 2000km tour round the British isles
I want to ride the width of Greece in a day. Patras to Athens via Delphi. Amazing scenery.
carry signs that say "save wales" and see if you get arrested. very beautifull. id like to see jpow ride it and give his comments, being from across the pond
I rode the length of Monaco once. Did it in about 8 minutes.
I’ve ridden across the width of Wales a couple of times, but never ridden from north to south
Given the sponsor, this really should’ve been called ‘GCN’s Giant Welsh Ride’
Or just an entire series of Giant Rides, it'd be epic.
"Giant Bike Review" whilst riding in Wales
So True!
I saw what you did there ! LOL 😂
The biggest power couple in cycling ! Like posh and becks 😂
gcn's own ken and barbie
I like Becks but only if it comes in green bottles.
Don’t insult Hank and Ollie like that
They’re far classier than those two washed up snobs
🤣🤣🤣🤣
GCN: Do you fancy riding the length of your country in a day?
Me, from Chile: "not gonna happen" 🇨🇱
You’re one of those that would change length to width 😆😆
👍 Would be an awesome video though!
Just do the width instead haha. It flattens up a bit on the northern end of the country and there's a few low traffic roads that go from border to coast. There's also another one just a little bit north of Santiago but it's really mountainous.
Ride the width from East to West and you hardly have to pedal at all.
Yeah. I'm from Brasil, that's not gonna happen too. Maybe Uruguay
Add a voice over where Manon corrects all the pronunciations.
JavaCycle911 what’s wrong with you people Manon is great in my books
She is from wales she can actually say the town names correctly that James was messing up. It is positive comment about Manon making fun of James getting all those Town names wrong. @edward Thomas
Agreed. Poor journalism by Ollie and James when they have a Welsh girl on their team. Both made a hash of most place names.
Does it really matter when most of the presenters on a global cycling show can't even pronounce Campagnolo?
@@gustavmeyrink_2.0 lol. Hank messes that one up frequently.
GCN presenter at beginning of video: "we're about to go on an EPIC ride"
My wife from across the room: "shocking... "
🤣
I just rode the length of my country, too, and it wasn’t even that tough...
... then again, I am from Luxemburg.
😂 Hahahahahaha jesus
I rode around Luxembourg - length about 322 but it took me way longer 😇😇
😂😂 not sure how big that is but my island end to end is 21 miles. But i still got 126 miles in😬
Good that u aint from Liechtenstein.
@Lars & @Myriam: I hope to do this one day. It would be a nice challenge to achieve. Greetings from the south end of Luxembourg.
Fun fact: I spent months and months wondering why I couldn’t tell the difference between James and Hank.
Ya, they are twins. Even their mother struggles.
@@billinhouston3291 Like the weasley twins
GCN: We're going to ride the length of a country in a day
Aussie: (in Crocodile Dundee voice) That's not a country, THIS is a country.
That's not a knife. THIS is a knife!
@@WillFaustCuber that's not a spider this is a spider
😂😂
Was just thinking the same thing. 300km is a normal ride round the hills for some folks in these parts.
That is a Continent!!
Did Manon authorise this?!
Another great video from Hank and Ollie. Not as epic or as beautiful as the C2C ride, but still a great watch. These guys have great chemistry on camera, get them doing more stuff together!
Fookin ell, seriously wtf, what an epic ride. That ride deserved a 90 min widescreen version for release in cinemas. Hank and Ollie FTW!
Cheers Mike 💪🏻
Living vicariously through GCN! I’m on week 2 of being a couch potato whilst recovering from a broken clavicule from a bike crash. Thanks for keeping me inspired!! You guys are awesome.
Proud Welshman here that's extremely thankful to have these roads to ride on! Great vid as always both, excellent!
"No one want's to watch us being sensible" hehe Loved this video. Giant success imo:D
That bit was so funny :-)
Glad that you guys mentioned this time the convenience of being followed by a crew and not to have to carry all that is needed for a 300km ride. It is a considerable advantage and security, that most of us don't have, and you can ride with clean bikes and make Giant happy 😄
That feeling of being absolutely done in, but also over the moon about what you just did. Too many emotions.
I did a 302km ride in 27/12/2022 doing a Sydney metropolitan/Wollongong megaloop. It is a very satisfying achievement not every cyclist can do. It pushed me to new limits and we did it in 40 Degree Celsius heat and I had an RD mechanical giving me only a 25T rear fixed and a 48/32T FD gearing. What a day!!! My hardest day in the saddle. Even harder than the Peaks Challenge I did in 2021.
Riding Way-ells without Manon? That's like having fish without chips, cheese without pickle, jam without strawberries........ You can do it but why would you?
I could't believe that Manon was not part of a ride across Wales.
Especially when instead we get Ollie at his most over the top and salesman-like (at least in the intro)
cheese and pickle? is a thing?
My first thought exactly...
She wouldn't be able to do it
It's absolutly amazing. Every time I think GCN has reached the limit with some challenge they come up with something even crazier.
I expected Manon to make an appearance at a cafe stop. Great job and this was more an ad for Wales than Giant.
Me: fish and chips
GCN: chippy tea
They had needed Manon for that ride. Great bikes to great presenters!
This video should be an hour!
This is an ad
Morzsaszar Yeah most vids are for GCN but still could have watched more of these two 👌👍
@@KOMHuntTV I dont even belive the actully do the rides, just make some shots during the course. Big part of it made with car.
"Robots are cool". Ollie is a man after my own heart :)
WOW!!! I WISH I COULD'VE JOINED YOU GUYS!!!
love from the Philippines 🇵🇭
2 most crazy dudes from GCN together on EPIC ride - lovely ;-) even the ad part does not really disturb. LOVELY
The shots, editing and colour grading is amazing these days. Great work GCN
Terrific photography, great editing, and superb weather. This was a treat to watch. Keep it up!
loving these epic rides!!
Hank is ace. Ollie suggests a stupid challenge, Hank “I’m up for it”. These two guys are just a couple of good lads.
Great video - I've been waiting for it to come out ever since I saw it posted on Komoot!!! Nice one 😁👍👍
Loved it! Beautiful scenery, challenging climbs and great tech! Thanks guys for another epic ride!🚴♂️🚵♀️🍻
Great Again. Respect for you guys ! Super shots. Love GCN !
Another banger of a ride! Well boys keep them coming.
I enjoy watching it 😍
Probably this will be my next adventure, a 300kms ride in one session...after my 14 days isolation w/ this covid19 (i was test positive 😥)
So far, ive done 216kms in 7 hrs w/ total 9hrs in one session 😊
Keep it up GCN for giving us motivation thank you 💪💪💪
I just love seeing these two go on crazy adventures.
Damnnn. This is the earliest I’ve ever arrived to a GCN video.
These epic rides are awesome Olly and Hank 👌, thanks for inspiring epic days out in the UK.(can't do it in one day but probably manage over a weekend) Love to see more!!
That killer landscape! Wow! Please do more videos like this in a clear blue sky weather...Kudos!
awesome video, we need more of these long ride videos they´re the absolute best
You guys are crazy. Love it. And love the places you ride. Beautiful!
10 o clock stop and the couple behind are supping on pints!!!!! That’s Wales for you.....
Andrew Shirley Is it morning drinking if you are still drinking from the night before though?
So nice to see this route, I’m cycling WIAD next year (wales in a day) and it’s a similar route - lovely to see what to expect. I cycled C2C last year, a similar route to yours and it was so nice to that video too. Brought back so many memories.
Brilliant, inspiring ride, that route looked great, I’ll have to give it a go!
Love these videos. GCN at it's finest.
Love the new epic ride series 👌 really inspiring me to plan a big ride! The duo of Ollie and Hank is definitely a winner, "shotgun not describing the route" 😂😂😂
I enjoyed this a lot! One the the best Ive seen. It was a days work and a few hours of overtime.🤗🚴♀️🚴♀️🚵♀️🚵♀️ Ride On !
Epic rides have always been my favourite kind of gcn videos 😍😍😍
The production quality is just superb. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼💯
Awesome ride . Great videography capturing that beautiful scenery.
Brilliant show lads very inspiring, looked like a super day in the saddle with to Mates👍
I’ve been to loads of these places it’s so cool that I’ve been there and so have you guys !!
More of this ! This, the coast to coast, original Tour de France stage and the NC 500 are all fantastic...
Giant: you get to try the bike for 24hrs
GCN : cya in 300km
Cycled Chester to Llandeilo some years ago (albeit it in three days, with full camping kit). Have to say of my three long distance rides (LEGOG and the Northern 500 being the other two), from a purely cycling perspective it was my favourite. Empty roads, stunning scenery, and towns and villages packed with personality... Good times, and great video. Thanks!
Brilliant. What stunning scenery and climbs. GCN on top form. Chapeau for the ride too.
Thanks JR
Looks like such great fun! Cycling and GCN...it’s what keeps me sane! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Kurt
Awesome presenting on GCN, they nail it
I’ve driven that route, and that was draining! Chapeau lads!
Great video, epic ride and some stunning scenery. Inspired me to do the same ride and route next year with my son...although over 3 days 🏴👍😉
Love your EPIC Riding! Pls more of that.
Greetz from GER
Another great video I have been enjoying the video with these two really well put together sponsorship bits aside.
Awesome scenery and fun between the boys! Wish these videos could be a little longer! Would have liked to have seen more after the coffee stop... 👍
I've ridden the length of Wales myself but it took me a week. An awesome ride whatever pace you go at.
FANTASTIC RIDE!!!!! good job Guys.
Loving these epic ride videos. Do more please 👍
Inspirational! great vid. Thanks to all concerned.
Really a great ride! I wish one day i could ride in wales, such a beautiful country!
I don't see how could this adventure be any better... awesome footage from Wales county side, Casey Neistat soundtrack like, coffee break, drama... great episode...!!
That is very epic. Incredible scenery and great weather. Lucky guys. Would you all be able to post a longer version? Would love to see more of the scenery and ride.
Great video. Loved the music and great scenary shots. Make me want to go ride
You guys ride well together. It shows on the video. Real good. "Absolutely battered." quote of the video. The pint was worth it, I'm sure.
Monster ride chaps, Chapeau! Saw the gpx on Strava - 30kmh is brutal. Great production but note to editors: a 30min cut would be fine
Planning this so you crossed the Severn bridge at sunset was an absolutely genius move. Gorgeous!
Amazing ride! Can't believe they didn't get Manon to join them for a segment. I love the opportunity these videos provide to see places I dream of visiting on my bike.
So much positive energys somewhere on the Scots mountain !!!!!!!!!
Chameleon Atlanta ..... wow. Still looks good. Last year or so Giant's colourways have really been great. Love their deep red.
Really enjoyed this as I’m welsh but also as I love cycling! Keep the legs spinning!! 👌
Wales is a beautiful country. I would love to visit there one day.
Do coast-to-coast across the States next year in the RAAM. Imagine all those fans along the roadside, cheering and wondering which one just rode by. "Was that Hank? Or Ollie? Hard to tell, they all go so fast." And then the GCN Chevy van with shag carpets could toss out some swag and tea bags.
Amazing camera work! Entertaining content and great shots. Greeting from México City.
I do love the TCR. I just recently got the 2018 advanced pro 0 model, with the dura-ace mechanical groupset and it is stiff, light and surprisingly comfortable.
Love these videos. I dont have the legs to do these distances so I enjoy watching people do what I can only dream of😂
Such a beautiful country. Man.
I want more of these paid promotions if it means more GCN videos. Loved it. Would have loved it more with chippy tea.
Cool editing, the colorist nailed it!! DoF! Some great Camera shots. Almost as good as mine! huge choones!!
Love the vids I am training now for the season
"chippy tea" by the lancashire hotpots ( you can find on on most music downloads platforms !) should be his theme tune
After admiring the beauty of Wales and crossing the Seven Bridge, you can now admirer the wonders of Avonmouth.
These types of videos are always my favorite
The black one!
Another great video. Love my TCR advanced pro 1.
Cracking. Epic ride. Great bikes
Nice ride. Great scenery and good tunes 👍🏾
Yessss then boissss
Hope to do something like that one day, when my IT band wants to cooperate that is!
Keep it up guys! Awesome vid :) p.s. tintern is such a nice ride
Love this episode. Finally, Ollie and Hank can fill the void since Matt left GCN.
you guys have the best job on the planet!
Great madventure again GCN! Gwynedd county is stunning and I know Llandudno well, a lovely town with the Great Orme coastal route for scenic cycling. Here's a Llandudno fish & chips tip - try it at Barnacles! And maybe Conor can introduce you to the taste of Barm Brack, the Irish Bara Brith. 😁
Fantastic effort guys. I cycled from Manchester to Abersoch for a chippy. There are some great roads in Wales to cycle on.
loving the long rides
