Hank’s Toughest Challenge | Lands End John o' Groats Record Attempt
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- Hank and Mark Beaumont are no strangers to epic cycling challenges and breaking world records. But, this time, we set them a challenge that takes things to a whole new level. Cycling from Lands End to John o' Groats in a time trial relay. Riding 1 hour on, 1 hour off, full gas for almost 2 full days is enough to bring anyone to their knees; even the kings of pain themselves. Would they be able to complete this truly epic ride?
In association with: Argon 18, Nuzest, Lupine, & Chamois Butt'r.

Is this the most epic challenge Hank & Mark have ever undertaken together? Have you ever ridden LEJOG? Let us know in the comments below!
Use need to put a GCN team in Australia. Dream job
This was brilliant. Just hearing Hank, he sounded just about dead. What a stunning pace to maintain over such a distance. Why not do something like 3 hours on, 3 off? Wouldn’t that give you more rest, or is that not allowed?
By far your best challenge. Just a herculean effort!
I would love to see a bike touring version of this. A Tour of the 🇬🇧 (TOUK) would be neat with mandatory pub stops.
GCN, I would like to request a video if you can do it “How to properly ride out of the saddle on a mountain bike” I really want to know if I am doing something wrong when getting out of the saddle with my Mountain bike Thnx.
This is a TH-cam video - and it's free. The production quality is insane. Props to everyone involved 👏
Thanks, Joe!
It's technically not free. You pay for it by either spending time watching ads, or spending money on TH-cam premium.
@@Wargwarn I pay £0 to watch it. Therefore it is free to me. The advertisers pay TH-cam - of which a portion goes to GCN which is how they make their money. I however am watching it for free.
@@joewallace7552 time is money, hence the phrase 'spending time'. You spend time watching ads, therefore it's not free, unless of course you value your time at £0.
@@Wargwarn That's a superficial view on things from my perspective. Yes, I need time to make money which I need to buy food to survive. But not every second of my day has a financial equivalent. When I'm sitting at home in the evening and I watch a video that's 30 seconds longer (because of the ad) than I expected, I didn't spend money. I couldn't have made money from those 30 seconds in any realistic way in my life. To be honest I didn't even spend the 30 seconds watching the ad. I just think about something about which I didn't have thought had I been working (for money) that time. Your statement that "you value your time at £0" just because you consider watching an ad plus a video free (of charge, which it is) is too big of a conclusion.
I like how Mark sounds more or less exactly the same at the end as he did at the start, where as Hank sounds like a totally broken man lol. Epic effort guys, a great bit of film.
This is basically just a training ride for Mark considering what he's done.
Little blow off the cob webs on his legs kind!
Ya Mark sounded like he had just set off on his first turn every turn 😂 dude is just a beast. And for hank to last showed some serious balls for someone who isnt use to this. Experience is everything.
These are familiar waters for mark. It was his first long range cycling ride when he was 12 and got a taste for the ultra endurance. He did look like a Tim Burton character at the end though.
If you watch the 1903 Tour de France stage they did together though you'll see they both look like they aged 10 years at the end.
Yeah Mark's mental toughness is something to behold, love it!
Another series of "Let's kill Hank again"
Love it.
He just keeps getting back up again...
Poor guy looks like he was in serious pain at the end there. What a trooper.
@@TheGerm24 He's not nicknamed The Tank for nothing
You can't kill Hank the Tank!
Hank is the first subject of every experinent.
Chapeau. I did JOGLE with a pal when I was 18 years old in 12 days in the mid-90s. On MTBs. With no helmets. We just slept in bushes, in fields (woke up several times with cows sniffing my head), on beaches, and on the last night on a central reservation roundabout next to a helicopter airport. Oh, how times have changed! We realised three-quarters of the way through Scotland that out guidebook was taking us to local points of interest like churches and stone circles. Needless to say our route ended up being 1660km. Loved it though!
90s full rigid MTBs are awesome. Basically like a touring bike with beefier tires.
Bloody hell! Even the entire team must be utterly exhausted from this effort with little sleep and looking after Mark and Hank! Well done, everyone!!
It was a huge team effort behind the scenes! We're super proud of everyone involved. Hope you enjoyed the film!
A video about the recovery after these challenges would be interesting.
Yes, I'd very interested to see what they recommend, especially the nutrtionist/physio as I fuel well on rides but then often get a little sick after big efforts (nothing of this magnitude of course) because I don't refuel and recover well. I am assuming Hank didn't just go straight to bed....
straight down the pub getting the early beers in, pushing on and smashing a vindaloo after closing time, is the recommended course of action for maximal gains
The evening before I started walking Lands End to John O'Groats a few years ago, I shared a hostel room in Penzance with a cyclist who planned to do the same on a bike, a tough looking fellow. He said he'll do it in six days, which sounded crazy to me. It eventually took me about twelve weeks to get to the other end. Admittedly it's a bit longer on trails, closer to 2,000 km.
Mark looked tired right off the bike and a few moments later, when talking to the camera, he is looking fresh already :)
He just thrives off suffering!
Absolutely brilliant by Hank, Mark and the team(who also didn't get much sleep and rest). Considering you had all the gadgets to keep track of data like watts, calories etc. it would be great to do a follow up video analysing the data of what it actually did to your bodies and how you coped. Keep up the great work!
I wish that there was a longer version of this film. Inspiring stuff. Congratulations to everyone involved.
Wow. The best of these yet. In awe of Mark’s and Hank’s endurance, professionalism and all round bloodymindedness. Why 55 people have given this the thumbs down, I’ll never know. This video and their efforts is as inspirational as Cav equalling The Cannibal’s record. Chapeau and Chamois
Mark looks like he could turn around and ride back!!
Seriously impressive!
I would actually entertain doing this route-just over a period of days-with the hope of meeting Hank and Mark and their incredible team at some point. Y’all are absolutely incredible and inspiring.
Credit to the GCN editing team for the night scenes. They felt so much like overnight randonneuring.
Nothing but big respect for Hank & Mark , Well done boys !!!
44 km after the first shift (48 min) in a 39h ride - just a typical Hank's thing
MCU movies, Avatar 1,2; even John Wick are NOTHING as thrilling as THIS gem!! Great content, perfect choice of score, characters well built. Golden Globe material!!! This masterpiece brought back childhood memories of watching a trademark reference Sir David Attenborough wildlife on one documentary.
Congrats on the achievement. I follow Hank on GCN and am always amazed how he keeps such a positive and supportive dialogue during the sprints...an incredible athelete and person! WTF on the Thumbs Down people?
Do you guys just have editorial meetings where they sit around and think "how can we torture Hank this time?"
Amazing! Mark looked like he was ready to turn round and cycle back 😂
Yes incredible 😅
Aye but lookit yon map - it's aw doonhill goin back!
Brilliant watch
Outrageous riding
I doff my cap to you guys and well done all involved as everyone is needed in support 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
"Hank’s Toughest Challenge" - title of every 1 out of 10 GCN videos :-D
Man keeps one-upping himself, so it makes sense! lol
I feel this deserves a whole GCN+ feature documentary film. Just the amount of prep for this is amazing. It would be great to get a deeper look into it.
Absolutely love these GCN specials
Thanks, Richard!
Im blown away...im never complaining about a ride ever again well done
Whoever was on the music!!! Bravo!!! Made it all the more epic!!!
That was amazing! I actually got emotional when Hank and Mark hugged at the end of the ride. Wow!
I’m sure that you did but I just didn’t want this to end, you could make this into a full length feature film! The countryside, the little snippets that we got were absolutely brilliant. Thanks for all your hard work
Great work everyone involve!!! This is a masterpiece
Thanks, Dil!
Eight months later, I'm watching this incredible video and I can't believe it. This is a real love to ride a bike. Thanks GCN.
Chapeau! Well done to Hank and Mark for completing a truly epic task, but also to their support team! Having provided support for a couple of 24hr events, I understand how grueling this endeavor was for them too. As for GCN's production values... Your films are getting better and better! Bravo to you all!
You guys have the best video editors!! I love these movies. You all rock! I rode the Wild Atlantic Way a few years ago and I can't wait to do this one 🤩🚴♀️
What an epic video. Thx GCN for motivating hobby riders like myself with these stories. Great channel, great work and what a bloody effort by those 2. Well done!👍👍👍
That was fantastic. What an incredible achievement. Thank you.
YOU CANT DESTROY "HANK THE TANK!"
We're going to keep trying!
@@gcn and now the same thing, but solo, non-stop and unsupported, please... )
We need part 2 with the round trip 😁 lol - YOU GUYS ARE JUST GREAT! Love it!
Excellent videography and music score selection. Well done all.
Many congratulations, it is such a hard ride. Just loved your sporty socks and shoes! Atko
The word Awesome is often over-used. Here it is appropriate. That was Awesome. An amazing achievement, congratulations to both riders and the support team. Phenomenal.
Mark you are the best. So happy to see you by gcn. I was hoping to see you taking part in their challenges
The way Laura was looking after them, it felt like she was genuinely worried about them, I can feel the warmth from here
Without her - they simply wouldn't have completed this challenge.
I love it when Mark and Hank put their heads together to face a new challenge/craziness(?). You know it’s going to be epic and inspiring.
Amazing effort team. I did something similar once, instead of going from lands end to John o groats I was at a festival, and instead of cycling I was dancing. Really took it out of me
You guys are positively nuts.
Congratulations to you and all of your team.
Magic! Absolute Epic Magic! Congratulations and Well Done to All the Team 👍
What an amazing TEAM effort! I’m in complete and utter awe of you all. Keep up the good work.
Well done Hank and Mark on an epic ride! And well done to the support crew and GCN team; watching this was way better than any film I've seen at the cinema in recent memory!
Driver praising and backing Hank in the end was soo pleasing to watch❤️... team work 💪🏼
Put cyborg Si in his TT bike he'll do it in a day
Si on his TT bike VS Hank/Mark is the next 2 vs 1...
Xi??
@@gcn on the Tandem of course and without sticky bottles all the way. 😉
Well Done Mark And Hank And The Team Really Enjoyed Watching, Did It Some Years Ago 5 Half Days
The man, the myth, the legend, Hank the Tank! Props to Mark and Hank for the amazing ride. What a journey that was indeed.
Superb video! Great bikes and great efforts... Keep them coming!
Just starting to watch, already loving it!
Hope you enjoy the film, David! Thanks for watching!
Outstanding film - congrats GCN
Insane idea, insane crew, insane quality of video, cut and script! Did I say this total insane already...?
I did it in 13 days and most of that consisted of suffering, can't imagine doing it at the breakneck pace you guys did. On top of that, taking the shortest route places you on some seriously busy, unpleasant and dangerous roads.
Wow, what an efford of Hank, Mark and the team! Also the video was so well edited, it was a pleasure!
Fantastic ride, very well done. It was very quite for a video with Hank. Hopefully you haven’t broken him for ever. Mark, what a machine. All of the team deserve a big pat on the back👏👏👏
Hank just keep outdoing himself!
Fantastic ride... well done to the whole team 👏
Amazing ride guys. Bravo for teamwork’s. 👏👏👏
This is absolutely amazing TH-cam content. And it is free. Thank you very much GCN!
These documentary style videos just keep getting better and better. Kudos GCN, find a better way to kill Hank for the next one!
We're literally not sure it's possible - he just keeps bouncing back even stronger! Glad you enjoyed the film!
Amazing guys,… fantastic.!!! KUDOS to the Team !!!
Outstanding effort chaps. Nicely done
Absolutely amazing video. Great effort guys and hats off to the support crew!!
You freakin crazy AND super strong Brits - love you guys and regards from Germany
What a great athletic achievement. That had everything and whoever done the epic soundtrack to it, kudos. Well done folks!
This is a great video with stellar content combined with beautiful editing. It got me excited and wanting more to root them on! Brutal stuff but carryon, Hank and Mark!
Amazing work guys! Well done to the team
Amazing! Takes good planning, teamwork, experience and grit to pull that off. Wonderful to watch!
Very big congrats to all the team! This is amazing to watch.
Glorious! Hank getting the goodbye speech is nothing but fair since he was the one that pulled through the last effort.
This deserves more views well done!
Crazy tough and amazing performance, well done.
When I smoke weed this is my go to video too watch always makes me happy solid work and effort Hank and Mark great work what an achievement to look back on when you get older😀
GCN episodes I can watch and enjoy. Fantastic.
Great! :)
Absolutely fantastic. Inspirational stuff.
Unbelievable! You boys are bulletproof …. Inspirational… thanks
Epic video of an epic journey. Thank you for sharing this. Congratulations to the whole team who made this possible. Well done.
Incredible. So impressed. The cinematography at 25:09 gave me goosebumps. Something very special in that moment going in to the night.
This was amazing.. what a piece of art and a testament to human endurance. Thank you to you two and your entire amazing team, could not switch off
Who gives a video like this a thumbs down? That was a fantastic effort and a superb adventure! Is there an extended version planned for GCN+ ?
Great job I really enjoyed it. From a fan of your blog. Joël from Mauritius keep going on bro.
That was still epic! Congrats to the Boys and all the Team. Wish you all the best to recover well.
Unbelievable! So well done.
Wow! 'Epic' is often misused but that really fits the bill. Incredibly well done, chaps. Am in the throes of planning a JoG to London Scottish RFC fund raising, relay challenge. I learned a lot from this. Thank you!
You 2 need to get your own spinoff show! Enjoy watching your adventures! Truly epic and so inspiring!
Respect gents. Remember... Pain is weakness leaving the body. Well done
Awesome effort guys kudos indeed for an epic ride!
Incredible work ! Unbelievable what the human body can do and of course what you guys are capable of.
My deepest respect, well done !
What an epic ride! Congratulations to the whole team! 👏👏
Epic! Well done guys! Superb effort.
That ride was the definition of Epic...great job guys!!!
Congratulations guys. Awesome achievement! This is an inspirational video. I love the feeling at the end when we (again) realize that achievement is amplified by struggle. I'll be leaning on this for inspiration on my future long distance bike adventures.
Brilliant, salute to the team!!! A video on best way to recover after this sort of endurance other than a few pints would be great. Big ups
Well done, congratulations!!!
You expect this from Mark as one of the best in the world, but Hank! Legend.
Amazing to watch!! Great job!
