What other ultra-endurance challenges would you like to see Mark take on?
The ev12 cycle route from start to finich
RAAM
Around the world in 10/20days. đ€Łđđ»
C'mon, let him take a rest!đ
Thank you for converting km to miles
GCN really is becoming a true film production company. The likes of Mark Beaumont and Andrew Feather really add a whole new dimension. Well done.
Advertising Company !!
@@waynesmith4589 So what?
@@GarethRules It means you can never trust the reviews , which is what we need if youâre going to spend your hard earn dosh đ°
@@waynesmith4589 oh PO ffs
@@waynesmith4589 dude, every media company is advertising company. They advertise something, GCN never claim as "review" company.
The man, Mark Beaumont is a machine.
The Mark bot đ€
for guys from kona or ironmans he is nothing special
@@damianzurowski1018theyâre all machines haha
We saw Mark when he had about 50 miles to go, climbing out of Helmsdale on his way back south to Inverness. Brilliant achievement !
Thanks for coming out to support Mark! đ
This was a brilliant watch of a monumental effort. Anything with Marc is always an instant watch, sometimes more than once. Also, well done to Robbie Mitchell for setting such a hard time previously.
Robbie did a great ride đ Keep your eyes peeled for the full length doc on GCN+
Wow, what a super ride! Mark's ability to focus on the task at hand while dealing with the pain and fatigue is unbelievable. Congratulations.
It's incredible to watch đ
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.
The mental and physical strength is inspiring, congrats Mark.
He smashed it đ
Mark continues to excel throughout the hardest challenges. đ Super human effort!
His mental strength is amazing! đ€Ż
based on what I've seen of Hank, I think it'd be amazing to have him on your support team, and I don't care what it is your doing. You could be in line at a cafeteria and no matter how terrible the food was you'd feel like you won with Hank cheering you on as you tried to get through it
Worlds best cheer leader đŁ
@@gcn and madman in his own way!
The mental toughness to remain committed and focused throughout the challenge really is admirable. Not to mention the physical strain Mark is able to endure. A superb achievement, well done Mark
Glad you enjoyed the video đ
@@gcn Yep, this is great GCN content. Loved it.
I love that Hank is there for him to support him. Still a GCN team.
Hank is GCNs best cheer leader đŁ
4:01 Hank was hanging there for dear life, you could see his embarrassment, so glad Mark recognized it. Hank's longest seconds of the day for sure haha.
Have to say, not only an amazing effort but also the production of the video does it justice too.
Mix it all together and its a modern day masterpiece
Can you all imagine how much effort is put into these records, like as a student athlete cyclists this is like an inspiration to me
Glad we could get you fired up đ„
Mark is an absolute legend. Insane ride. Love the hank and Mark bromance
Think Hank was happy to sit this one out đ„”
We did this in 5 days and were f@%ked. This video really doesn't highlight how tough some of the climbs are. Mark makes it look easy!
What an achievement for the team and a unique athlete, you did Scotland proudâŠagain
Thank Ian! đ
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 !
What's the total elevation on this route?
Congratulations Mark, that was an amazing ride! Thank you GCN for such an awesome video
Thanks for watching Tim, glad you enjoyed it đ
Fantastic effort Mark and crew. What an epic ride and a film that really shows what these records are like to do. Chapeau.
Having taken on the NC500, I know how tough it really is. I was truly drawn to tears watching this production and all I can say is "Chapeaux" and a massive "Well done" to Mark Beaumont for his efforts.
I've cycled the nc500. The fact he did this in just over 1 day is absolutely incredible. I cannot even imagine how difficult this must've been. What an absolute legend.
Anyone else that has ridden the route would agree, amazing ride đȘ
how long does it take a mere mortal to cycle that? thanks
@@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.
@@sh-mufc wow, welld one you, also thanks for putting it into perspective - this guy is super human!
Inspiring ride, great, wonderful support team and super audio / video work. Mark Beaumont is absolutely amazing!
Fantastic achievement, well done Mark and well done to your support crew too!
Wow, unbelievable. Well done Mark.
Thanks GCN for taking us along for the ride đđ
Great work done by the filming crew too. That drone shots were splendid.
Loved every second of the video, great story line, well-paced and serious segments from Hank, amazing editing, epic shots. Also props to the whole support crew who pulled out a 29-hour shift focusing and driving around.
Simply stunning images!!! What an amazing record breaking ride, and what an amazing team đCongrats Mark and to everyone involved đ
MASSSSIVE KUDOS MARK AND THE SUPPORTING TEAM what an inspiration i feel like going for a long ride by watching this!! incredible !!
Immense effort and stunningly captured. Well done all, that was incredible. (That bike looks and sounds weaponous too.)
Hank you're a champ for providing all the support.
Amazing job! Truly inspiring. Well done Mark and the entire Team.
Love this, really great work everybody (especially Mark!). I like how the team has developed to handle Mark's attitude on the bike (it's tough!); what a great team he has around him. Every time I watch, I just want to get out and ride
I love watching these 2, whatever they are up to, their friendship makes for good watching, and I am in awe of their adventures
Well done, Mark. Just amazing. Robbie had set such an amazing time, and this effort to surpass it was phenomenal.
Incredible. Congrats to Mark and his team!
Outstanding effort by all involved. Congratulations Mark
Congratulations Mark and the whole support team, it takes a village. I love your adventures Thank you
Massive inspiration! Well done! After his disappointing summer with RAAM it's so cool that he was able to put that training to use in smashing this record
That was absolutely immense!! What a machine Mark Beaumont is!! Huge well done to him and all involved in this record-breaking effort! A truly excellent watch! đđ
What an absolute Monster, I am blown away with this epic result, well done Mark and the team as without them it would not be possible, much Kudos....đ
That was tough. Well done Mark. Also well done the bike designers and kit suppliers.
Wow! Awesome achievement! Congratulations on the record Mark! Awesome production again GCN đđ»đ
Absolutely fantastic, many congratulations on the new record!
I rode NC500 last year, crazy to for mark to complete in under 29 hours. Well done again! đ
Goose pumps just watching this monumental achievement! Congrats to Mark! Thank You The Team! Even this is a Man versus physics without a team, love and faith it would be impossible.. Mark, what a cycling!!! đ€©
Wow, what an effort! Really enjoyed that. Well done to all involved.
Epic. Love these videos, keep them coming!
Well done sit. A brilliant example, thanks for sharing.
Those drone shots at 14:18 and 14:30 đ... Incredible production from GCN, again.
He is a beast!! Awesome work from all the team as well.
Such an amazing rider blows me away every time I watch something about Mark Beaumont.. a huge inspiration đđ€©đŽđ
Big congratulations on setting a new world record! The planning, execution and team work is truly world record class. Makes me a proud owner of an Argon18 e119 Tri+ disc bike as well đâ€
Magnificent effort and achievement. Chapeau Mark Beaumont.
Wow phenomenally impressive, and not forgetting the support team!
Well done to Mark! love to see him on GCN. He truly is a beast. Everybody need a Hank as support in their life.
Cross Canada. Did that in my teens and it took 30 days - it would be amazing to see Mark do this. Epic, amazing wild country for much of the way. Like Scotland, long long days in the summer. Agree with the comment that your films are getting better and better - absolutely engaging.
Unbelievable achievement Mark is a machine. Great production from GCN đ đ
I don't understand how his lower-back isn't broken after just half of that, amazing
Lots and lots of practice. A perfectly fitted also helps đ
An absolute machine. Well done.
Congratulations Mark what an outstanding effort big thumbs up to you and your outstanding crew đđđ
Full marks to the support team - huge job well done but to Mark - one word Awesome. Meant in the truest sense of the word.
Again MB showing whatâs possible with Hank on board whatâs not to like. He really is an incredible athlete đđđ
Great inspiration as I was sat on the trainer. Cheers
This is phenomenal. Unbelievable to watch. Amazingly filmed and edited.
Everytime I see one of Marks challenges he inspires me and I'm sure many others to keep going whatever you're doing.
Amazing achievement and great filming GCN! đȘđŒ
Absolutely staggering. I've done beauly to bealach and back in a day and that was hard enough. Chapeau Mark
amazing work MB.
Nice camerawork too GCN
My Gosh Hank...you are bang on about the scenery. It is stunning.
Congrats Mark and team. Hell of a challenge. Hank looked more tired than you at the finish.
From following Mark for a while I was inspired to give the NC500 in under three days a ago and managed to succeed. Massively inspirational ride but donât think I will be trying a sub 29 NC500! Great job and keep up the fast work!
It's a superhuman effort. Incredible work.
I've cycled the short B869 Stoer/Drumbeg section of the route, it's only 20 miles or so but has some brutal hills/ramps on it.
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.
Thats some next level focus by mark, even taking shorter breaks to keep the momentum going. Absolutely inspiring stuff.
Brilliant Mark, having cycled the route, as Nikki says you are a beast.
What a machine and absolute legend! Great video!đđŽ
This is so incredible, hats off to Mark Beaumont.
What an extraordinary achievement - huge congratulations
Wow! Amazing ride!!! Well documented GCN!
Another phenomenal effort from Mark Beaumont, Iâd be happy completing that in six days!
Inspiring! Well done Mark.
That's incredible!! Such an amazing achievement and an awesome watch !! Well well well done!
Amazing what a machine of a man. Well done Mark and team.
Outstanding effort by an outstanding athlete and human being.
Incredible video, thanks GCN
AWESOME!!! well done Mark and to all the team and congratulations!! đŽđŽđŽđŽđŽđŽđŽ
What an awesome video! Absolutely loved the little bits from Mark telling us how he felt.
Glad you enjoyed it! đ
Mark, that was truly amazing. Like it was said - your a beast.
Well done đđđ
This is what GCN is all about, loved it, Mark is a hero x
Mark Beaumont is a man of focus, commitment and sheer fucking will.
Unreal effort. Good luck breaking that record. This will stand for decades.
Absolutely metronomic from Mark and what anachievement. For once a challenge that doesn't kill Hank off.
That was incredible. Mark is an absolute monster. The team are all amazing for supporting him. Thank you for making this.
Thanks Olly! Glad you enjoyed it đ
Love all these types of content. Would love to see more ultra-endurance contents like maybe GCN participating in the Transcontinental or Transiberica.
That was amazing! đ Bravo to Mark and extra thanks to his team for making it possible!
Glad you enjoyed the video đȘ
Amazing Mark!!! So Happy for him!!
Mind blowing - well done. I was part way round unicycling NC500 when Mark flew past our team. Fantastic achievement - next?
Wow, what an amazing human he really is and such a nice guy.
What a machine that man is. He's relentless Absolutely stellar. Well done mate đŽó §ó ąó łó Łó Žó żđŽó §ó ąó łó Łó Žó żđŽó §ó ąó łó Łó Žó żđŽó §ó ąó łó Łó Žó żđŽó §ó ąó łó Łó Žó żđȘđȘđȘđȘ
