Fair play Josh. Personally this is where, for me, the outside assistance is a grey area. It's impossible to cater for every eventuality and i think seeking outside assistance is not what you did. I ride self supported events and I couldn't ride past someone who needed help. But it's great to see you showing that integrity and good luck in the future

[@chrishewitt777]

I agree surely they could review it and allow him to be marked as completed

[@davewatt8840]

Well done Josh, top bloke for being honest 👏 👍 look forward to your next adventure

[@tonysanford7540]

Respect! For the distance and the honesty. Enjoyed the video.

[@holdmybleach2651]

2:12 fancy seeing my home town

[@shaunowen5829]

Once again Josh a great ride and video .The tubeless debate still goes on in my head, Im doing an all road trip through France and still cant decide whether weight /ride benefits will top the absolute phaffing nightmare when they go wrong.

[@christopherhood9241]

I grew up in East Yorkshire - seems strange seeing in in a screen at night, awesome film btw as I prepare for this years panceltic race this is great inspiration, thank you.

[@christheritz]

Unreal mate. Can’t imagine doing three days straight like that with hardly any sleep. Wow!

[@percival3830]

Your integrity speaks volumes, and will carry you further than a thousand kilometres.

[@fionaridley5011]

You made it look so easy! Great to see a video going Hornsea first as I did. I was gutted for you at the fords, I was so lucky I'd scoped them out at Easter and knew to avoid Beck Hole at all costs! Good to see someone else on gravel too. Tough with the punctures needing help but you were riding for you and know what you did. Top effort. No sleep!!

[@Josh-Reid]

Yeah I nearly came off badly on those fords. Very slippery. Had two 30 minute naps, one on the second night and the second on the third. Learnt lots for future events.

[@benwedgwood1766]

The fords at Grosmont are so slippery!!!!!!!!!

[@BikepackingAdventures]

Well done Josh. Completed my first ultra-distance race last month in The Netherlands. An experience I won't forget! My friend took part in APN this year and one thing we both said, was how much we both learnt from these races. By the way that view of Bamburgh Castle was quite something. The addition of quotes around Shortcut made me chuckle. Great effort. =)

[@davidmangas5536]

Congrats!

[@adamhau5]

Cracking work mate, great video!

[@ColdDarkNorth.]

Loved this, Lad - big love from the Cold Dark North!

[@elschumi]

Well done! Would have been great to get your recap after the race after you got some decent sleep and rest.

[@freddiecycles]

Incredible dude, subscribed 👌

[@fijikimbo]

Great vid 👌🏻 love it. Looking fresh for someone that’s ridden that distance!

[@tizziejames9040]

Very well done. And a lovely video.

[@the_trooper_72]

Well done dude 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@MusiCaninesTheMusicalDogs]

Amazing scenery at check point 2! So beautiful!

[@danwhittaker4592]

What a great insight into this awesome event. Lovely video. Great music too. Well done on this and for your performance on the road too 👏👏

[@LakeDistrictcyclist]

Would love to do this one day, well done brilliant

[@darrylthomas658]

Top ride and effort , fair play on not packing in with the tyre issues, 💪

[@smellyelle8422]

Wow you bombed along very nicely Josh! Loved your neat cockpit set up and your amazing adventure😊

[@charliegoblin9680]

Epic!

[@sebastiengaudette9214]

Enjoyed the video, keep on making us dream :-)

[@newbarker523]

Well done. Love the "shortcuts" Admire your integrity and attitude to self improvement regarding the valve assistance. I watched Katie Kookaburra's video of this event. She endured a LOT of rain on her route!

[@ericpan3543]

Hello, Josh. Your journey is so nice! I really enjoy it. Thanks for sharing.

[@ericpan3543]

Josh, how could I get in touch with you?

[@Josh-Reid]

I’m @joshreids on Instagram

[@countMonteTristo]

awesome

[@global_nomad.]

congratulations....good to see you doit for the ride if not the competition. In the end thats what its all about. biggest lesson seems to be about tyres and risky surfaces....and managing exhaustion/eating. not sure i'll ever go that far or be able to ride through the night so kudos for that.

[@markjthomson]

Good form. I reckon ultra distance riders should do a list of "night visions"... when your brain is struggling to work out what you are really seeing. Well done on the assistance call. It's frustrating but hey, you should learn from it. I attempted a 1000km brevet at Easter and was happy with the gear I carried... I pulled the pin due to severe winds so didn't have any mechanicals. Can't do much about that one... I ride again and didn't get flattened under a truck.

[@chrismarton6831]

Great video and great ride Josh well done. It looks like you had better weather anti-clockwise but I don’t think I could have managed those climbs in the lakes at the end rather than the beginning, good effort!!!

[@goldfever4570]

Great ride! Thanks for your integrity and being visible with it, good influence to others. Planning to race more?

[@Josh-Reid]

Next one is the transcontinental

[@global_nomad.]

@@Josh-Reid oh wow, no half measures!

[@DavidMackenzie]

Enjoyed the video - thanks for sharing. Do you have your next Ultra planned?

[@Josh-Reid]

Next up is the transcontinental. Was good to get this one done so I make less mistakes for that.

[@dheat24]

Hi mate. Fantastic achievement and so honest. Which giant bike model did you do it on?

[@allan4054]

Well done 👏👏👏. Would be good to see a map with the route you took 👍

[@Josh-Reid]

I’ve posted a map on my Instagram @joshreids or on Strava

I currently use Attacus adventure bib shorts. I’m a big fan of the side pockets.
