Thanks for sharing this excellent video Richard! I last rode the long route in 2022. I did the 42km in 2023 and 2024 so I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video to familiarise myself with the efforts needed at various points of the route. I am looking forward to training this route as regularly as possible to complete my 24th CTCT long route in 2025.

Hi Granville. Thank you for your kind comment and am really pleased you have found it useful. But am super impressed that you have done the long route 23 times! Training for the event gives me a bit of focus to get me through the long UK winter now 👍 Good luck with your training for 2025 and hope to see you on the start line!

Hi Richard. I went through your video. You are creating content on a whole other level. I'm on a hero 7 Black. I usually go through 2 batteries. I like all the detail like the maps and the info during the race. And the different angles is a nice touch. Well done on beating your previous time. Maybe next year sub 3...😜 I'm going to try it on a road bike next year. Busy getting used to one at the moment. My body is not finding the transition to be smooth. Lower back is feeling it. And the legs are working much more than I thought it would. Great workout though. Looking forward to next years Cycle Tour video.

Thank you for the great feedback it’s much appreciated. It’s a fabulous event and I enjoy videoing it each year. I used a software package called Telemetry Overlay for the graphics and edited on FCP. And an external battery to get the run times needed. Am hoping to go sub 3 but as you know it’s not easy and needs a bit of luck at least for me! Getting a good position on a road bike is key for comfort maybe with the help of a bike fit. Then build up the ride times as you know. Hope it goes well and maybe see you at the event!

Correct yes used Telemetry Overlay for the data visualisation and then edited on FCP, and created 5 camera streams that I cut between for the different views.

@mangofilms1161 7 ай бұрын

Hi Connor, thank you glad you enjoyed it. The starting procedure is a bit more informal than the Cape Town race I did. But as a faster rider it’s worth getting into the early slots to get a good group. The seeding process seemed a bit vague though better last year than in 2022… Good luck!
