Manon has been training hard for her biggest ever challenge: taking on the SBT GRVL race in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The race is at altitude and, at 142 miles (224km) in length, with 9,200 feet (2800m) of climbing, it will be Manon’s longest ever ride. This challenge will be far from easy! Will Manon be able to survive this epic US gravel race?

Yeah, I love Manon and seeing her struggle on this was an emotional roller coaster for me too, but when she made it to the end and said “I did it”, I was so happy and proud of her! Anything that long at that altitude is no joke, gravel or not. There’s a reason so many pros live in and around the Rockies - it’s great for training and getting to your best, and there aren’t many places in the UK to do that to the same level. This was quite a feat!

Manon! Manon! Manon! You are incredible beyond words! Loved volunteering at this event and being able to cheer you on at the aid station and hand you your finisher's hat at the finish line. Wear it with pride! Even after that 142 mile sufferfest, you were so gracious and greeted everyone with that million watt smile. Thanks for sharing your SBT GRVL experience, especially those moments when the doubts start to creep in and you found a way to keep pedaling -- it really does inspire all of us mere mortals to get out there and attempt the things that appear impossible. Congratulations again and hope to welcome you to FNLD GRVL next summer and/or back to beautiful Steamboat Springs again next August. Chapeau!

I fought cramps for almost 60 miles before I had to back out at mile 116 of 150 at Gravel Worlds yesterday in Lincoln Nebraska. I'm up at 4am local watching this thanks to not sleeping well after the effort. Amazing timing for the video.

@better.better 2 года назад

do they groom these roads for the race? maybe put down finer-grade gravel? the guys in the top 10 are doing 22 mph which seems impossible based on the gravel roads I've experienced here in upstate New York. scrubbing through the footage it does look a lot better than I'm used to mostly dirt road and not so much gravel, and the ones that were actually gravel look pretty compressed and not so many large loose stones that you can't get any traction on. it's hard to judge how representative the footage is considering they probably wouldn't be able to use any footage on the type of gravel roads I'm used to. you wouldn't be able to hear Manon talk for the sound of the stones under the tires hitting the frame of the UTV they're filming from

Easily one of the best and most inspiring videos I've ever watched! A few comments: 1. Manon, you are an awesome rider, AND, you have an amazing ability to put your human side into these videos. That's great for the rest of us humans! 2. Did you think your bike wasn't going to get dusty / muddy / filthy? 3. Pink valve stems and flashy fingernails (13:28)! Nice! Gloves for a gravel race might not have been a bad idea. 4. Your description of grasshoppers as "little birds" was hilarious; your focus on pickles was disturbing 5. Your description of hitting the wall was spot on, and was weirdly reassuring to the rest of us. You're right! When you're tired, every bump makes you angry! 6. Only a Brit would welcome a rainshower Congratulations on finishing a huge event, and on making a great video for the rest of us!

Great cinematography! This was my Sunday night movie 🍿. Watched it on a 60“ TV with KEF speakers 🇬🇧. 9 hours is an amazing time with 9200 ft climbing & 100/142 miles gravel.

Tremendous effort Manon. I did a Texas 47 mile gravel ride and didn't think I would finish. 11 water bottles and 37° C with high humidity. It's a LOT harder at 68 years old 😉. Slowest average speed ever on my gravel bike 🥵

Great work Manon. Always fantastic to see someone achieve something they didn't think was possible.

Good job Manon! Keep challenging yourself. Like most solo sports, cycling is 49% physical and 51% mental.

Fantastic effort. It's SO important to eat and get a little break at each feed station at any of these events.

It's amazing the difference even a short period of stopping and getting off your bike can make - I've found I've gone from feeling exhausted and thinking I won't finish the ride to feeling great and thinking I might set a PB after a 5 minute long stop (admittedly on much shorter rides than this!)

Uncanny how your moments of doubt were the same as mine. That second to last rest stop (which was the same as the last one) saw me rest longer and recover a bit. Nice effort Manon. You did great!

Wow Manon, so impressed and so inspirational. What gorgeous scenery you guys rode through as well. Amazing!!

Yeah, 225m is a *very* long way to ride! I’ve done a number of running ultras (trails in particular) & it’s amazing how you start building confidence when training, and then cr*p yourself come start time 😬 It builds massive, massive confidence & mental strength though!

Well done Manon! A champion always rises to the challenge.

Well done Manon! That was some achievement and you can be proud of yourself for not giving up. The scenery was beautful but I guess you didn't notice that lol.

Great effort. It’s hard when there’s that little bit of doubt creeping in. That’s when you have to get your mind back into the zone to block out the pain. Well done. Surprised that you didn’t know about the pickles. They really do help prevent cramp’s and replenish the salt in your sweat. The longer fondos here in the US hand them out at the later food stations. Regardless I loved the few bleeps. We knew you were suffering.
