Rich Payne is joined by @gcn's Manon Llyod and Conor Dunne as they navigate the wet and treacherous conditions of the Forest of Dean as these two roadies try to get to grips with the muddier side of cycling!

    Kudos to the roadies for giving it a go in such horrendous conditions. The experienced MTBers always make it look easy but we know that's not the case. Showing such enjoyment and terror at the same time makes this such a fun video to watch. And I've never seen a telegraph pole ride a mountain bike before, but Conor shows it is possible.

    Great video Rich ,Manon and Conor good effort to you both and on those conditions too 👊🤘
    It does show how technical mountain biking is.

    "Manon does MTB" should be a series where she learns how to get better and then convince her to become a GMBN presenter, she's awesome!

    Absolutely loved this. This is more of the squeak challenge to see who had the loudest brakes 😁 Nice to see Manon and Conor taking on these types of challenges that pushes them outside the comfort zone. I love. the collaboration between GCN and GMBN. Makes for some excellent content to watch

    Manon: "Downhill's pushing it a bit..."
    Me: But Hank would be up for it, no doubt! He is probably the best bike handler on GCN so he could definitely do some more technical skills!

      Blake did indeed! As did Neil I think. It was pretty fun to watch. Hank is naturally pretty bold and he just sort of threw himself into it on this trail set

    I never thought that I would see a mountain bike cry for help. Those screeching sounds of the break were like the bikes howling in agony. Nonetheless, a fantastic episode and Manon is infectious whereas Conner reminded me of what I was like when I rode my MTB for the first time.

    Rich “ these trails are designed to be ridden without the need to pedal”. Manon “pedaling is the only bit we’re good at, we’re not good at anything else”. Rich thoughtfully “oh yeah”. Such a blast, Manon’s laugh, Conor’s “skills” and rich the perfect teacher.
