      Fantastic video. Thank you. I would love to see a video on how your presenters setup their bikes to ensure the constant flow of new bikes are going to work for them. I (and many riders I know) obsess over saddle position, reach...moving things a few mm at a time until things are dialed in. Your presenters are riding new bikes all the time and doing big rides on them where there's no room for error in setup or injuries could result. Thanks for your consideration.

    Knewal, I agree, with Si's presentation making me want to jump on a plane and do the ride in a day.
    I used to think the same about distance, 20k seemed a long way. But after bouts of injury and ill health I decided the couch wasn't the place to be. Building up over a couple of years, this Southern summer just gone, I completed East West traverses over two major passes in New Zealand's Southern Alps. 290Km in 15hours and 215km in 11hours respectively. Watching Si I could relate to his comments but also given I'm 61 year's old and a quarter of a century older, I also felt a bit smug that I could have paced him. Certainly I didn't complain as much, but then I had nobody to complain to, no camera, no support crew. He caught the highs and lows, and the need to feed beautifully. Kudos!

      GCN does a good job with product placement. Not loud enough to turn you off, but in focus enough to please the sponsors. I imagine the revenue from your eyeballs as the product (i.e. the money TH-cam pays to GCN for attracting viewers) is a small fraction of the product-placement revenue. I'm guessing that if you "like" the video, GCN gets even more money from TH-cam. So if you like the "free" content, be sure to "like" it!

    34:25 "Totally meaningless but incredibly amazing personal achievement." I think that neatly sums up what we do on our bikes. Some hair-brained scheme that looks good on paper, raises serious doubts in one's mind, tests the limits of what you think you can do, but....we do it anyway. Well played.

    dont eat garbage, if u need food, then sit and have food, if u are thirsty, drink till you are not thirsty
    this is not a time trial or a race, this is a test of fortitude and endurance,
    being able to keep a strong pace through out the entire distance is how solid paces and time checks are kept
    keep up these kind of videos, i hope they inspire more people to get out there and brave the elements and natural pathing foibles
    and realize, this is really biking, this is why we get on a bike, top just go, and keep going

    usually a big fan, but have to voice my opinion on this, not sure encouraging folks to head down and go for it are what these routes are all about, keeping them free for access to all users if a bigger challenge than riding it fast, we would all be having a pop if a couple of horse riders came down the track flat out ! surely the appeal of gravel and tracks is not to blast it but apart from that keep up the good content.

    solid effort si, you seem to power through and just get it done, in good humour whilst being able to communicate all the way to the end

    It’s a great part of the world to ride. We’re there in two weeks for the Ridgeway and Kennet and Avon in a two day, 200km ride. Beer, bikes, gravel and good mates. Can’t wait.

    So cool you made it. You and the documentation of the Pan Celtic inspired me to get on long distance bike rides. Just to see how far I can go on my own. Go on like that!

    Thanks for the video. I can totally relate. A decade ago I finished Unbound (210 miles) in 20 hours flat.
