      "Share it with your friends… if you've got any" and "I think this is the perfect opportunity to pull out my big book of cycling excuses" are the most Ollie things to say

      When ever I watch Si doing a challenging event for himself I find his candid and articulate descriptio of the event so interesting but most importantly his ability to express how ost of us cyclist have felt during a hard event. We'll done Si!

      Hank’s Lands End ride was a great watch. But I’d say my “favorite epic film moment” was Jenny Graham during her Hebrides film missing a ferry which allowed her time with a local fisherman.

      I really enjoyed this compilation. Brought back great memories of GCN and GCN+ releases. Is there a reason why there is no Jenny Graham represented in an Epic Road Ride Moment compilation? She completed an epic UNSUPPORTED around the world record (I'm reading her book now) and was a GCN+ film presenter, including my favorite film, Hebrides. Whatever the reason, I hope you continue to search the vaults of GCN films and videos to make future compilations. Thank you!

      One of these videos one should watch once a year to remind us that this is possible.
      Thanks a lot @GCN.
      So many heavenly views.. So healing and teasing to get on a bike for an epic ride!!

      I started cycling last January with the GCN 30 in 30 and continued on to much longer rides, audaxing etc. I lost 20kg in 4 months, I was eating more healthy but not rediculous.

      Fantastic compilation. Put the trainer road session I was doing while I watched in perspective. 🤣

      Was really surprised to see Ollie do the 1000km on the Trigon. I spend part of each year in Taiwan and am considering an AR01 to keep there (tired of bringing my bike back and forth). However, the AR01 geometry is really aggressive. In my size its stack height is 10mm shorter than an SL8 and 8mm shorter than a TCR. I’m not sure I have seen a bike on geometrygeeks that is more aggressive.

      I noticed Ollie added some spacers to the stem and I know that he’s much younger and fitter than I am, but did an endurance frame, or at least a less aggressive frame geometry, ever come into the discussion? Might have helped with that day three dead neck.

      The ultimate suffer-fest in stages. Who deserves the crown for most suffering? Ollie certainly gets it for comedy. Connor gets it for the highest emotional content. Alex gets it for extreme bodily torture. Si needs to do the Stations for a proper torture test.
      Great stuff GCN – keep the brutal content coming – we love to see our heroes suffer!
