The Ridgeway is the UK’s oldest road, having been used as a route through Britain’s countryside for over 5,000 years. The fastest known time to cycle this ancient gravel pathway is a little over 13 hours, and Conor thinks he can go faster. The route is 284km, with over 4,000m of climbing and 85% is off-road. This ride broke him, but did Conor claim the FKT?

Conor's almost relentless positivity and ability to enjoy the beauty in the middle of an incredibly challenging ride are just ... life goals. He may not have hit the goal he was aiming for this time, but he always sets a great example of remembering to enjoy whatever aspects of a ride you can, and I appreciate that reminder.

ah nice one mate, thanks for pointing me in the right direction!!! Was great to see a friendly face at that point - hope you enjoyed golden hour.. it was a good un! Cheers, Conor

@Songbirdstress Год назад

The reason ancient routes go over the top is also because the valleys were full of forests, and not very passable. Even today you'll find pathways that aren't mown or with actual trees across (I'm talking to you sections of the GR13...) Ha, you can see this when he gets to the forest....not wheel friendly. Also, take into account what the road is for. The Ridgeway is probably to link the North to the richer South, for commerce etc, therefore will be easier that way. Few people will have gone up (Connor's direction), but many will have gone down and then the trail is easier when you're heading home. If you do the Burgundy canal, it's SIGNIFICANTLY easier South to North because it was built to take the wine from the South to Paris. There are companies who will take your gear and you down south so you can bike back, it's well worth it. (Though I personally preferred the NS route, it's prettier that way) As a rule of thumb, biking goes well with Roman roads (built for animal/human pulled wheels), as long as they aren't used for the modern main road; and with train tracks. Train track grading is very doable on bikes. They're often longer though, mine does a huge detour because it had to go fetch the grain out in the sticks. The worst are modern roads, they're just not graded the same. Cars and bikes do not go together. Hiking trails are fun, but get frustrating, because you can't get any speed up on a touring bike. They are often medieval and built for walking or pack mules. (Great fun on a mountain bike). All of this speaking about Europe and not the US, obviously. As you can see I'm an anorak on this, so if you want more info feel free to ask :) (or not lol).

@themagicbullet74 Год назад

Averaging 25KPH on single track, even on the flat, over that distance is a tough ask. You have to stop to feed regularly. And your arms, shoulders and neck will fatigue in a way that just doesn't happen on the road. I am attempting a 320KMS gravel ride along canals next month. Having done a recce a couple of weeks back, it's the first 70KMS which is single track and grass that scares me. Well done Conor. Rest up, come back in July and smash it.

Just home and showered from giving the Dirty Reiver 200 km gravel route a go as a two day bikepacking trip. I took a couple of shortcuts to get it down to 149 km but 77 kms yesterday and 72 today, with plenty of climbing was hard enough - so well done Connor - your effort was epic! Beyond the standard saddle soreness I've managed to epically sun burn myself - I forgot about that as a possibility and didn't bring sun cream - DOH!

@heatherbellbikes Год назад

I recently completed a 66-mile Etape (my first, a solo female rider at 50). I did it with a coccyx injury a B-12 deficiency and, unbeknownst to me, anaemia. It was extremely hard and it took me over 7 hours to complete when I’d originally hoped for just over 4 but, at the time of entering, I was just hoping to take part and had no expectation of even doing 30 miles. After doing that I am amazed at anyone attempting 200 miles. I’m still suffering from the event depleting my iron, chronic fatigue being the worst, so I would advise anyone to really listen to their body. Conor being an ex-pro knew exactly when to call it a day. Well done for trying Conor. It takes a lot to know when to quit.

@geoffreyhoney122 Год назад

Head held high all the way Conor! We've all been there: for want of clothes, food, mech equipment, luck etc. Good call keeping yourself safe and knowing when to bail!! I went up the Hastings Heritage Rail Trail from Trenton to Bancroft (Ontario) and hit sand just south of Bancroft. Had to bail on the goal. Even more so the next day when tornadoes and an extreme weather alert meant that I had to seek shelter in Apsley. All along the route there were unexpected 'water features' courtesy of multiple industrious beavers! Love this content!! And I will gladly watch any challenge you set yourself, whatever the outcome may be! I invite you to change your self talk as you encounter difficulties (No picking on our friend Conor, Conor! ) The challenge is epic and you will have at it again in different circumstances. Well done! And thank you for content that I can really relate to!! ❤

@better.better Год назад

the way Connor is at the end, that's how I felt one time on a 3 hours cycling commute. I was pushing against the wind but I felt good and made good time at the start, however somewhere along the way my rear tire acquired a slow leak, and I didn't realize it. I have no idea how many miles I rode on it before I realized that the handling wasn't right. it must have been flat a while because after I patched the hole I was completely fried. I stopped for breakfast and fell asleep at a nearby park/boat launch looking at the sun rise, coffee and sandwich half finished. the kicker was that I was only about half an hour away from my destination by that point, I had to call off when I woke up a few hours later. sleeping like that is definitely not a "recovery sleep" after that I learned my lesson and if I had a long commute like that, left the evening before and find a place to camp along the way, so that I would wake up with only half an hour to go.

@belowthehill Год назад

Connor, my takeaway is that ride sometimes do not go as planned, so it is important to carry your credit card with you. And your medical insurance card if you are an American. Despite the few grams of extra weight, I carry mine in case I need to pull off the trail in search of a Pad Thai. But in more exciting news, I was just out riding my local loop and when I passed a unicyclist riding the same giant green wheel as your El Alto! Wow! That was even bigger than I thought watching your El Alto video! You are living large!

Conor im very proud that as a fellow big man, you went and tried. you started. you are an inspiration! tip for places where arms jiggle, just relax. try not to brace unless the wheel jerks laterally. it will save the forearms and biceps a lot more. you likely won't fall. and if you need a little bracing, engage your core and legs. i do core work for my obliques and spinal erectors. of course i balance my muscles to keep strength from pulling things out of alignment. i have massive triceps and they still get sore, but my biceps rarely do because i tend to relax them. anywho, I AM TRULY impressed by your resolve and i look forward to your future solo adventures!

I used ride lots and compete in local races but then had some major health issues and now 8 years later I'm back riding. I feel the expectation of others to perform like I used to but I'm nowhere near that level. Each day I gotta put the negative speak aside and focus on the fact that i know I'm doing the best I can. There's just no gain in being harsh on yourself - there's plenty of people out there ready to do that. Remember to be your best ally. Thanks for this and all the content you do.

Valiant effort, well done Conor! Sorry to see you fell foul of the flint along the route...quite a few people attempting the route had the same issue. I got luvky on mine! hope you get a chance to attempt the route again. Cheers. Mark.

What I love about so many GCN videos is that they show us even pros return to mortal status if they don’t stick with the insane training. Well done!

Well done Connor. Defeat makes you stronger and makes better memories. The best stories are not of things won but things done while giving it your all. Keep you chin up and keep presenting real life.

Connor your a winner in my eyes.. I failed a ride this weekend for the first time forcing myself to go and knowing I didn’t feel right ended having to picked up by paramedics and on a drip dude to exhaustion and a sickness bug I caught. I leant valuable lessons from this and praise the paramedics who looked after me 😢👍🚴🏻 ride on bro

Great! What would you like to see us do next?

What a legend, you gave it a go, would be a shame to miss the sunset, and all the glorious views just racing the clock.

I mean this in the best way possible but Conor is absolutely awesome at videos where he DNFs

You've done it! ... motivated me to give my gravel bike a longer spin! ... planning for half your distance though 👍

You’re a champion Connor, whether you finished or not. Such a beautiful route, and always a smile on your face despite the pain. And thank you for letting us enjoy the sunset with you!
