The NC500: 516 miles of undulating but beautiful Scottish Highland roads. In 2015, Mark Beaumont set the inaugural record, and now he's back to reclaim it. There will be a GCN+ documentary of Mark's challenge (coming 6 Dec 2022 👉 gcn.eu/cyclingdocs) but first we join Hank in the support car, following Mark for what he has described as the hardest single-ride effort of his life!

Of all the GCN presenters to have with Mark, Hank is the one. He has been on some epic rides on his own and with Mark, plus he seems such a positive character to have around.

@robertparry8725 Год назад

On the text at the start, it's stated that Mark set the inaugural record at 32 hours. It was actually just under 38 hours. James McCallum brought it down to 32 hours 23 min in 2016. That stayed until Josh Quigley then took another hour out of it in 2020 (31 hours 19 mins), and then Robbie Mitchell then smashed that last year down to 29 hours and 5 minutes. A remarkable set of achievements by all concerned over the years, chapeau !

@sh-mufc Год назад

@@toosas I trained for 9 months having never ridden a road bike before. I'm quite lucky where I am in Scotland that a 15 mile route was around 1.5k of climbing so that was my training for a long time. I upped the distances as I rode more. Then I rode around the Isle of Dunoon as a typical nc500 day for us which was an eye opener for me in terms of time in the saddle and nutrition. Our team completed it over 7 days for charity.

I've ridden on and off for 40 plus years and at 62, recovering from blood cancer (Chronic Lymphocytic Luekemia), I'm doing the 100 mile route of Ride London next May in aid of Blood Cancer. Nothing compared to Mark's typical mileage but I'll be re-watching a few of these to put wind in my sails!

Ardbhair Brae coming in at 27% or thereabouts is particularly brutal. To think that Mark would have been hitting these sections late-ish on in the 1st day makes the times he recorded on those sections even more impressive.
