While a lot of riders will try their hand at getting records like a Strava KOM on their local trails, there are some other riders who set their sights on a bigger prize - a Fastest Known Time, also known as an FKT! FKTs are the fastest known times for a self-supported ride, over 150km long with a recognised, fixed route.
To see just how hard these riders push themselves on FKT attempts, Neil, Isaac, and Rich decided to team up to see if they could challenge the FKT held on the South Downs Way by Tom Couzens. Tom completed the 159km route in an incredible 7 hours, 44 minutes, and 47 seconds - could the boys beat that time, or would Tom's record live to see another day?

FKT is what I'd be if I tried one of these!

@user-yx1qk4sk5t 11 месяцев назад

Neil's segment has brutal climbs. I feel like Isaac should've done the last segment as he's closer to his prime and ligher than the others. Good job nonetheles. Kudos!

@the_spanner_ch7mp 11 месяцев назад

I understand why they went the order they did as to try and give Neil a buffer but I agree the last section has brutal hills to tackle

@tomascalder6825 10 месяцев назад

I agree most of the climbing is at the end

@davidf2281 11 месяцев назад

Cool that you got the actual FKT holder on the show, that was a nice touch.

@TiagoMorbusSa 11 месяцев назад

Props to the whole team, including Neil, doing 50k when you're out of shape is no joke, and you weren't that far off from the others anyway, fantastic effort. And Tom Couzens is a super hero, that ride looks like murder!

@cliffsangelsphotography 11 месяцев назад

Great effort 👍 I bet with the trio of Isaac, Rich, and Hank should be a dangerous combo 💪

@dansheridan9904 11 месяцев назад

Rich is so happy to have another XC host on GMBN!

@Yuzushuu 11 месяцев назад

Great video!! So refreshing to see a team/relay challenge on this channel, would love to see more like it, maybe a big downhill one??

@raphaelwolff8205 11 месяцев назад

Great effort guys that looked tough,Neil great stuff grinding it out in the end as you looked cooked.

@jeffslade8621 11 месяцев назад

Hello from New Zealand, love GMBN, what a great bunch of Presenters and all the interesting videos you guys come up with.

@dominicwitherowdwp2467 11 месяцев назад

I've done SDW twice with the British Heart Foundation - best time just under 14 hours. It's tough as Hell, but an utterly brilliant ride!

@phearnden 11 месяцев назад

Respected guys, I grew up riding the south downs and there ain't any easy bits. More videos like this please.

@curtvaughan2836 11 месяцев назад

Refreshing to have you feature some XC style riding - most features these days, at least as witnessed on youtube, seem mostly focused on enduro / downhill. I was also wondering if you guys brought along any energy drink or bars during your rides? As with road racing, all that climbing really needs adequate supplemental carb's for anything more than 90 minutes or so. Looked like Neil was hitting a bonk toward the end. Nice video!

@tiagolage5642 11 месяцев назад

Great content! We need to see more things like this! Congrats!

@DirtlovR 11 месяцев назад

We want to see Rich beat the time by himself. Time for another endurance video!

@richardpayne5176 11 месяцев назад

Ha ha keep your eye’s peeled 😉

@steveflint5009 10 месяцев назад

Did this as an adventure for my 55th. Birthday bash, after15 years not on a bike. Some of those hills are brutal climbs up, and challenging on the downhill. The climb up to chanctonbury ring, is just a killer Well done, great effort to all. Let’s see Si and crew do it !

@smv9338 11 месяцев назад

Great edit - really enjoyed it.

@TheProjectX3 11 месяцев назад

GCN's turn now!

@simonroebuck7145 11 месяцев назад

that looks like a really nice ride if done at a more leisurely pace. And what i would give for someone to open the gates for me too. Great vid, would love to see more like this. Top work guys

@cheeeeeeeef 11 месяцев назад

That bit up to Firle Beacon is brutal, great video lads

@pchittum 10 месяцев назад

Tactical error. They had the person who was admittedly in the worst shape on the leg with the hardest climbs. Always anchor a relay with your strongest person.

@gregstevens2917 11 месяцев назад

Loved it...great effort, all!

@richardruns4cake 11 месяцев назад

Wow great film and the guy wit the FKT must be a machine 💪

@josephmounter5278 11 месяцев назад

Haven’t watched it yet but can tell this is gonna be a banger!

@budycelyn 11 месяцев назад

more of this type of video please :)

@kevincross9206 11 месяцев назад

Awesome effort guys. I think there’s a perception that we don’t have anything tough down here in the South, but let the nay sayers try this!

@fegasegiawan3440 11 месяцев назад

YESS BOYS! I like this kind of video! More challenges more fun!! Also, it's inspired me to ride more!

@machidaman 11 месяцев назад

Amazing effort, parts of that route are brutal. I live in Eastbourne and ride the SDW a fair amount but never gone further than B'ton - i am almost i tempted to go further, almost.

@KenanTurkiye 11 месяцев назад

If you want the Fastest Known Time, make sure you chose the 'better' weather and surface conditions, makes a huge difference as many would know.

@beardedvikingmtber 11 месяцев назад

Cracking effort lads

@tim_stealth 11 месяцев назад

I reckon the GCN crew with Simon and Hank would've beaten that time. Time for another battle perhaps?

@cubeinformationltd141 10 месяцев назад

Great Work boys. Need to share the combo strava file. And good to know locations you swapped the garmin over. Some of the clips not quite in realtime order I suspect. Given me the urge to have another go at SDW in a Day

@nevillepretorius8948 11 месяцев назад

You guys did very well!! 🤟

@Azoth5876 11 месяцев назад

...DOOM music VIBES kicking in around 13mins for Neil 😂

@Rustyfox46 11 месяцев назад

What an epic route 👊🏻

@alanbussell7894 11 месяцев назад

Definitely more challenges 😂

@JonHolden 11 месяцев назад

Was hoping we'd see Neil in some Lycra. Great effort! I know I couldn't do it.

@brianrichardson5310 11 месяцев назад

Great effort guys! SDW just sucks the life out of you. Made my second attempt to ride it in one day a couple of weeks ago - called it a day at Ditchling Beacon - but if I'd had someone to open all those sodding gates for me...

@markdavis8430 11 месяцев назад

Team work makes the dream work 🤘 Oh how many gates was there really 😂

@brianmagee5847 11 месяцев назад

Neil's MTB fashion probably cost him 20 watts in that headwind.

@matpewsey 10 месяцев назад

I did the SDW on a specialized status….. toughest day on a bike ever! 😂😂😂

@mackrate 11 месяцев назад

first, i love you guys so much, great content, keep up the great work

@KevinT3141 11 месяцев назад

Tremendous efforts all around, thanks guys! That's got to be a crushing feeling for Neil to see the average dropping after they handed him off the Garmin. Unrelated, do you think a 2x drive train for more top end on the flats/downs would have made an appreciable difference? There's days I miss my old bike with its 3x.

@KevinT3141 11 месяцев назад

Brilliant bringing Tom in to the shed with you at the end! Thanks again guys.

@TypeIIAdventures 11 месяцев назад

How about trying a group FKT for the 100 mile White Rim in Canyonlands NP in Utah, USA?

@tiagosantos6273 11 месяцев назад

You could do the same vs GCN's team using gravel bikes

@xavcarmic0686 11 месяцев назад

Bar ends look uncool but would have been useful I think. Good video.

@rogercoomber9598 10 месяцев назад

How about trying the desert dash in Namibia? Nearly 400km in 24hrs.

@cotty303 2 месяца назад

Hi Guys what tyres did you use and did you het any punctures/flint cuts?

@kettlebelleddie5272 11 месяцев назад

Did you guys go on a shortcut at the start on the road to avoid Boomtown?

@Iangatley 10 месяцев назад

What about a gcn vs gmbn challenge? Same fkt, gravel bikes vs xc bikes?

@dcv9460 11 месяцев назад

AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! 😎💯

@sebherrod5344 11 месяцев назад

7hrs 42 Elapsed time for me yesterday on a gravel bike

@deepdiver49 11 месяцев назад

I know where all of Rich’s hair went. Isaac stole it.

@Bangbroer 11 месяцев назад

This is hard

@albertorobinson7611 11 месяцев назад

cheers

@tweeling1977 11 месяцев назад

Next time four people with blake 😂😂

@TheTonstar1 11 месяцев назад

I just done this with my dog and towing a trailer 😅 4 days

@lassebabba9312 11 месяцев назад

Seems a bit mean to put, by his own admission, the 'weakest link' on what has to be the hardest third of the route 🤔

@timhands6681 11 месяцев назад

Let’s see if GCN can beat this on gravel bikes

@rusty2222 11 месяцев назад

GMBN comes to my yard. The bit in the middle anyway. Should have roped Blake in & stopped off at Steyning for some jumpy action. Take your mind off the realisation it's all winch & plummet round here, not for fat downhillers!

@Brookbates 11 месяцев назад

I did this and the first day took us 3h:23 mins 25.6 miles it was challenging

@deedontworry 11 месяцев назад

I love going past roadies on my non electric enduro bike! 😅

@ltrtg13 11 месяцев назад

Talking about stupid this. At least it's not as bad as Si Richardson. Trying to get a KOM starting at 2991m and finishing at 3961m Only to find you did it fast than the current KOM holder. Only to find out Strava didn't recognise it as the road has change that much.
