24 Hour Zwift Epic | How Far Can Hank Ride?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 เม.ย. 2020
- Isolation can drive us to do things we haven't before, which, in Hank's case, means attempting a 24 hour ride on Zwift, possibly one of the most mentally challenging GCN presenter challenges yet! From the relative comfort of his own home, Hank bring us all of the ups and downs a 24 hour indoor bike ride brings with it, did he make it, and did he find it harder than the 24 hour outdoor epic he rode last year with Mark Beaumont?

Could you make it through a 24 hour indoor bike ride? Let us know in the comments! 👇
No, everything above 90 min is real pain.
I'd rather ride outside than inside. Indoor is my nightmare 😵
Genuinely don't think I could manage more than 3 hours tbh. Fair play 👏🏼 bonkers
What was your family's reaction when you told them 😂
Nope 🤷♂️
Get that long distance German companion some merch! He deserves it at the least!
That's exactly what i thought.
You mean that F.G. dude?
Exactly
People need to know how insane this actually is
And dumb.
@@christopherbv shut up man
@@christopherbv You seem smart. And weak.
@@christopherbv no, it's called dedication and strength. Learn it
Hi GCN.
I am a 12 year old cyclist from Australia and this video inspired me to do my own 12 hour indoor cycling challenge. I did 330 kms in 12 hours averaging about 28 km/h.
That's amazing, Tom! Awesome work.
Superb performance!! But really I wouldn't advice you do to such intense work at your age, you will regret it very much at 20 years old
I'm a 12 year old cyclist from nz, but haven't done that challenge
@@cycling2732 dont do it. At 12yo just ride for fun and 40km at that is already a lot. You should Ask your doctor next time you see him. If you want to be in perfect control of the bike later, you can start doing exercices like making you a little circuit putting stuff on the ground and going around them/picking them up
Wow! I'm 1 year older but my highest km is 80. That is amazing well done
Still not finished watching yet but just want to shout out to F.J from Germany for the Herculean effort he has put in. Champion.
Cam Jeffers: does virtual Everest
Hank: Hold my beer
Bas Bakker yeah Bas agreed
hank didn't everest tho 21:58 both super impressive and similarly painful
It’s too bad that the official Everesting website doesn’t recognize virtual rides. But I can understand why. Too easy to cheat the data.
I noticed he was in the booze aisle at Tesco to pick up the Red Bull. I did wonder if he grabbed a few beers at the same time...
Did he use a bot?
GCN italy: you shouldn't ride trainers for more than one hour, actually, it would be better to make 30mins focused sessions
GCN: let's do 24 hours on a trainer!
Hi, why doing more than one hour is not good experience?
@Deepboy666 I guess chances of catching the virus are much much higher in Italy than somewhere in the middle of nowhere in the UK. Also, I live 40km away from Germany's first epicenter and yet there are 0 cases in my village and less than 50 cases in the next bigger city and since the virus is not airborne I guess you really have to be in contact with a person having it in order to contract it. I'm glad I stopped working on time (went on holidays on March 1) otherwise I would have 100% gotten it.
ahahah la prima cosa che ho pensato :)
Deepboy666 Chicken!
(Not really. )
Deepboy666 i do about 40 min but i dont think ill get the virus at home
2019: Don’t ride your trainer for more than an hour.
2020: How many hours straight can I crush my testicles?
So many Dinosaurs in Watopia: Mylegsasaur, mybumisaur, neesasaur. The most impressive is the Hankisaur.Kudos to you, that was tough.
Megasoreass also

Hank the Tank strikes again
Kezlarr I really admire him for his stupid stubbornness/ heroic determination. Can’t decide which it is, but definitely a big Chapeau.
You would have gotten further with an aero bike in your living room...
And a full suspension mtb would help soak up the bumps and pot holes eh!
well, had he ridden through the sands all the time, he would have made way more kilometers... but maybe that was to keep his sanity
JA MOIN?
DU hier?
Radfahrer?
I hate to break it to you but exercise bikes don't move! Ok I had to be that guy! LOL
with tubeless setup too.
Hank is just a torture test for GCN at this point
Major kudos to the dad being there the whole time.
It's Dad's house, he lives there. In fact, it would have been far more unusual for him to be gone the entire time...
Bloody brilliant stuff Hank. And fair play for digging out that extra for the full 24hrs on bike.
Chapeau
I've never known a man with such little respect for his scrotum. Even those circus acts that lift stuff with their swingers wince at this madman.
Well done, Hank!
Hank the tank is my favorite presenter😁😁He is so committed and never gives up!!! Make a jersey that says hank the tank And i will 100% buy it
Same
Hank is so game, I love his attitude. We do love to see him suffer but it’s because we’re willing him to make it through and come out the other side celebrating. Amazing achievement brother!
3:40 - Wow.... shops with food in them.
Very retro !!
Those were the days with toilet paper and stuff.
What a hero, fuelled by pizza! You didn't even really complain about anything, not much apart from saying how you felt, what a great guy.
The other presenters talk a good game. Hank is the real deal. Great job Hank.
Watching this my brain went straight to The Ramones,: “Twenty-twenty-twenty-four hours to go, I wanna be Sedated, Nothing to do, Nowhere to go, I wanna be sedated”. Fantastic work Hank, particularly loved the Neighbour-Cam Broom Wagon.
Imagine, 23 hours in and the power goes out... 😮 Incredible effort.
when i was 14 earlier this year i did a 24hr zwift ride, 683km, at 4am my power cut out for 5 minutes but luckily didnt lose my ride
Hank needs a raise. Two 24 hour rides in 4 months all for our entertainment. What a legend!
Hank is the Posh Spice in GCN. Love this dude.
Just watched this, been looking forward since this was mentioned on GCN show.
So much respect, people think I'm nuts doing more than 6 hours on a bike often. However I struggle to get to 2 hours on Zwift. The mental toughness alone is astounding. Inspirational. Sleep for a week dude, you deserve it. Awesome GCN vids. Between this and the other GCN challenges you step up to - you have my respect.
Sam Leitch that’s bc the trainers have constant resistance while riding outside on your bike doesn’t. Unless you’re climbing uphill for 24 hours you’re not going to replicate the resistance.
Hours outside, free with the wind vs inside on the torture rack.
I can't stand it.
I've actually cancelled my Zwift because it was so depressing. Now I just use simple (non-game) training apps to get my workout in. If it's cold and I want to ride, then I'm bundling up and riding, even in the snow.
This is so crazy. I hope he doesn't keep doing this stuff too often, because he'll crack eventually.
@@brandonclark8736 that is just you.... people in general like it. And can do it in moderation. Seek help.
23:18 he also non intentionally completed burning off 10,000 calories in 24 hours challenge, which is kind of interesting. This video really shows you how hard it really is to burn off 10k cal in 24h.
This is an interesting side quest, achievement badge for sure!
Epic. Can’t believe you managed that. My max indoor is 45mins........Hank, you’re a legend.
Amazing effort Hank!! It's incredible what we can accomplish if we commit our minds and body to the challenge! Thanks for suffering for us all and sharing your journey to the unknown with us.
Mr. Hank Lowsley Williams. What a guy. 👏👏👏👏👏
Congrats!! Huge feat & definitely motivating that if you can make it through that, we'll all make it through this. Thanks Hank!
Certainly the toughest GCN presenter! Your will amazes me, congratulations Hank! :D
Great achievement Hank, well done and respect. I could feel your pain. Another fantastic GCN vid.
Hank, that was awesome and inspirational for those of us stuck at home staring at the turbo and trying to get motivated. Thanks!!
I love this channel, it got me started on cycling, and has given me numerous tips and the will to get fitter. Always looking foward to new videos!
Hank is the only person who has his jersey done up on Zwift
Gotta stay aero 😂😂
I did 11.5 hours last weekend and I can only imagine how tough twice the time must be. Respect!
Dino_TM Insane. Even on the road if I’m going slow my nether regions start to complain fairly quickly.
Just started biking a few months ago and this channel is amazing! Hank you are a BEAST, giving me inspiration over here! This looks unimaginable
Yet again, I am mesmerized by this mammoth effort. Wow, wow, wow!! Well done for completing this. Pure beast mode!
4.28 look the hole in the seat, looks like a fork hole 😳. Great effort as usual 👍
Absolute legend I found 3 and a half hours he'd on the trainer let alone 24 hours. Keep inspiring us during this tough time. We'll done hank enjoy the rest.
Hank, you are amazing! Unbelievable effort, congrats.
But it’s just insane to do this without a rockaplate.
Hank, this is an incredible feet!!! Congratulations, you can be proud of yourself. The mental aspect must be insane. Keep up the great content, especially during this lockdown period 💪
I just did my first century today and was riding for 6h 35m and I'm pretty achy...kudos to you, Hank! That is a massive physical accomplishment!
Very impressed Hank (and highly envious of your "pain cave"..)
That was epic Hank. You gave us tons of motivating vibes, all of us staying home, loving cycling and especially keep on pedaling in every way. 🙏 Fancy the way you chanced your headphones to smaller more comfier 🤗 and the tips and support you've recieved (your neighbor rocks), showing we are together in this.
Damn. Hank's mental fortitude is unmatched! Thank you for the inspirational content!
Well done dude! You've got my biggest respect!
How about asking Mark Beaumont to go around the moon on Zwift?
How about riding to the moon... As the whole gcn team..
If the software can adjust for zero air resistance and 1/6 gravity he should make pretty good time!
@@The1trueDave Also means just 1/6 of the grip^^
@@ClemensAlive less rolling resistance
Love it! Thoroughly enjoyed watching this during lockdown in Australia. Great job hank💪
Hank man. This was so good. This is one of the best videos since Ollie's hour records. I love these challenges. And I low how in-depth you got the prep , during and post ride! Well done man. Hope your nice and recovered now. And I've got my fingers crossed for some more long distance content from you in the future. A summer 24 hour ride is a must! Bet you can smash it past Scotland when it's not raining. Or how about how far south you can ride from your house 🤣
AMAZING!! What a tough challenge. Would love to have seen your Whoop data! Great job James!!
Kudos! I was more concerned about a power or internet outage on hour 22, than on you not finishing the challenge. Absolute legend!
Why.? He doesn’t live in third world?
Sincere congratulations! This is epic and very well recorded achievement!!! Happy recovery :)
Incredible. Beyond my comprehension. You are a legend. And a machine.
Absolutely unreal, congratulation!
First item in trolley; ‘brioche’. That was so Hank! Respect to you Sir. 12 hrs was enough for me
Well done mate! I’m glad you did the extra time to complete 24hrs cycling. Great achievement 👏🏻
Absolutely astounding! Brilliant effort - I’m done indoor riding after 90 mins absolute max. Nice place you have there too.
24h on a trainer must be absolute torture. 6 hours has been the longest i've done in zwift (prl full) and at the end of it my derriere was totally wrecked. Might be the static position versus riding outdoors. Hats off to you, Hank. What a legend.
Absolute legend Hank! 👏🏻 Even a couple of hours on Zwift takes physical and mental stamina. To do it for a day, the mind boggles!
Wow that was incredible.. massive endurance test, not to mention mentally how tough that had to be. Hank you are a beast💪 huge well done👏👏
EPIC!!!!! Well done, Hank!!
why is it gcn so love to torture Hank....and yet we find it so amusing to watch him being torture...
Hank really is a good sport about these challenges.
Because he's posh. Class resentment
The second part of your comment explains the first part.
I don't think i can find words to do this effort justice! Just amazing Hank, A-maz-ing :-o
Well done, Hank. That's a fantastic effort. There's no way I could do that. Great to have your dad there too!
7:32 - so I'm not the only cyclist with a motorcycle in his living room. Whew!
He’s got a triumph Thruxton
first cameron with everesting now this, im so intrigued to do one myself 👍👍👍 im loving it 😁
Zwift needs to give you a special achievement for that herculean effort of sheer madness. Amazing job!
This is so impressive! I struggle to do even an hour on an indoor trainer
Awesome. But can't believe you didn't raise your stem a bit for that!
Fantastic and ridiculous! Bravo for sticking it out and seeing it through. 🎩👍
For anyone inspired, I heartily recommend the Le Mans 24H Velo event for letting you try this outdoors and in the best possible riding conditions. Have at it!
Congrats! Hank, that was a monumental challenge, well done man! Ride on
Hank has a motorcycle between his dining table and the kitchen. F--- legend.
Bro that is incredible. Wow
Absolutely awesome job.... bonkers......but awesome! Well done Hank. You are a legend!
Congrats! New achievement. Your mind is so strong! Your dad must be proud of you
Cameron Jeffers Everesting on zwift, Hank hold my beer
they actually did it on the same day!
Congrats for copying another comment
How much elevation did Hank gain?
@@cyclenutter2715 cam jeffers: everesting on zwift. Hank: hold my beer
Jesse Compton wow very original 😏😂
The human body and will never ceases to amaze me.
you are pretty much the best thing to ever happen to GCN, this was an epic ride
I'm so proud of Hank! Mental fortitude and perseverance; physically he can do it but there would have been so many demons telling him to quit throughout - then to push on the extra 50 minutes was pure class man... mammoth effort chap! 🙌
That plant needs watering Hank 🌿😉
I''m just as impressed at the amount of mini sausage rolls he managed to eat in 24 hours
Your dedication is fantastic! Besides the obvious differences, for me when riding indoors you hear the constant siren call of the always nearby couch, bed, etc whereas on most outdoor rides that option doesn't exist and you are forced to press on. Well done young man!
I've participated in more than half a dozen 24-hour mountain bike relay races (24 Hours of Adrenaline, etc.), but at least we had riding shifts spread out over 5 riders, so it was enough time to eat a proper meal and take a short catnap until you were on deck to race your next lap. Still pretty tough though. This was way more brutal! Kudos on completing it with the distance and NO SLEEP!!!
This man doing 24 hours challenge and Im here wondering when I can even touch a Orbea one day. Stay Healthy my dude!
Hank your capacity to cope with a challenge is immense! So impressed.. sorry I couldn't join you.. nice pizzas! Great effort! Sleep well mate.. 👊🏻✊🏻👍🏻🚴
Amazing effort, loved the video. I can see how important is the support from other riders.
I have no words. An hour on the turbo is enough for me. Respect! 👍🏻👍🏻🚴♂️💨💨✊🏻✊🏻
Hank to his genitals : I’m gonna do a 24 hour indoor cycling on my road bike.
Hank’s Genitals : *goodbye forever mate !*
Check out Michael Knudsen’s event next week trying to break the world record on 24h indoor riding by reaching 1000km+ with an average of over 41,7 km/h. It is the 11-12 of april on zwift 💪. Nice riding Hank 👍👍🤯
Did he Do it? I avg 23km/h lol..
Hank, you are an absolute BEAST. Respect man!
Very inspiring! Great job and awesome to see you digging deep and not giving up
600+ Km in 24 hours. EPIC. Well done, Sir.
So, now what? The Paris-Brest-Paris? 1200 Km. Record is 42 hours 26 minutes.
Next one is 2023. Got 3 years to train.
In order to get in one must prove that one can ride 300k and 600k I think and within a set period of time from the event. I think Hank was to early for this to matter in registering :-(
Great video! Quite a few TH-camrs have started to use Zwift, not just cycling channels but bodybuilding ones too.😄👍
That’s so awesome! Great job! Wish I had been watching GCN and had known so I could have ridden with you for a bit.
That was absolutely brilliant! Thanks for doing the ride and sharing it.
Your Triumph in the living room! Oh to be single again.
i can’t even do an hour spin class without almost passing out i can’t imagine doing this
Unbelievable Hank, hats off to you. What a ride!!
Awesome challenge...and brilliantly executed! Massive applause!
Good one , I also bought trainer and my longest time is 3 hr 52 min ..
