Breaking The Speed Record!

We set out to break the "Classic Rock of The Peak" record using a tandem bike.
Classic Rock routes are from the book 'Classic Rock' by Ken Wilson. The routes we did are all the ones in the Peak District National Park, UK.
There are 12 routes, 4 crags, and around 55km of cycling between each. Due to time constraints we ended up doing this on one of the hottest days of the year!!...classic shenanigans.
Big shout out to Will Gould and Wesley Cole who brought this challenge to life and put a time down on paper.
Then to Matt & Dylan Heason and Tom Newberry who put in some quicker times after our round.
Classic Rock of The Peak by bike is a brilliant challenge that is achieveable for lots of climbers and generally a great day out. We'd certainly recommend it 👍

[@LoveAndClimbing]

Did Matt/Dylan/Tom stop for pudding and ice cream? If not I feel like they didn't complete the WHOLE challenge.

[@DreIsGoneFission]

NOBODY walks the line between world class athlete and complete goober like these boys.

[@WaiSanLee]

The level of focus, planning and determination is very similar to Honnold and Caldwell on their record-breaking Nose speed record! Pete: "Is it over there or something?" Inspirational!

[@MrAbbe81]

Imagine being a none climber seing two people on a tandem bike and one guy wearing a shirt saying ”Crack is back” 😂 great video

[@fakename757]

the war on drugs failed so now we just climb high

[@calisthene]

Casually climbing rocks without safety gear after wearing a helmet on a bike ride. 10/10

[@fix500ml]

Haha, so true :P

[@bwen18]

haha, good observation but in all likelihood, they are safer climbing without gear than biking with a helmet

[@trisje123]

Pete's run is adorable, like a toddler still learning :)

[@WideBoyz]

😂😂

[@kavali6320]

2:40 Running in climbing shoes?! You're mad lads and I like it ;) World would be a sadder place without you both. Well done 'professional dad' and his 'dripping buddy'👍🤣.

[@joshgibson267]

I can't believe you guys were so nonchalant about soloing all of those routes. It's so hard to tell the difficulty so I was sweating my palms off.

[@WideBoyz]

They're easy,and we've both soloed on grit for 15 years so know the rock type well.

[@runbike28]

@@WideBoyz what are the grades? Roughly in YDS... I still don't get y'all's grades yet.

[@mikecheque]

@@runbike28 The hardest would be about 5.7.

[@milanboez]

vs = 5.7 - 5.9. A few of these are mid vs so 5.8 in US currency is more accurate.

[@GraverGames]

Had me dying the whole time, such good content when you both take it easy breaking a "record" like that. Truly can't get enough of this stuff

[@liamb9606]

Love the challenge, love the video! I do have to admit I get nervous when seeing anything related to speed & free-solo in combination though - even if it is very easy for you!

[@WideBoyz]

Soloing is always done at a sensible pace even though it's a speed challenge 👍

[@ck1858]

The golden ratio of Climbing to walk-in was hilarious! I absolutely agree ahahahahahah

[@evoneli]

I thought this was a Guinness world record attempt for using a two seated bicycle, at first. Also, congrats!

[@driesvanoosten4417]

Same here. Somehow the Wide Boyz seem random enough to try that as well...

[@hidden_sense9839]

First, you got me, when I read the notification "speed record by tandem"... and I thought "ok, what shenanigans have they done again? No way did they beat any speed record as a human crackipede/tandem(cause no crack) on the speed wall"... and it was an actual tandem and some actual cracks (not disappointed though!!). Second, you got me with the really light weight ropes... just free soloing everything. Finally, you got me, when you said, you broke the speed record.... only to get it broken twice before the release of this video ;). Kudos to you, wide boys, kudos...

[@jakubsimonak4174]

You guys are the greatest climbing and personality duo ever! Greetings from Slovakia ✌️☺️

[@moleculekid]

15:41 Pete's "aaggh, i don't like cycling' - me everytime I cycle

[@grampsz.]

Tom was looking very professional Dad with that headgear and luminous top combo 🤣

[@kf6948]

One of my favourite videos in a while. Thanks for being great climbers, innovators, mediocre cyclists and total goofballs. You're awesome!

[@jnick5358]

Nice job! This is a bit like the Longs Peak Triathlon in Colorado: 76 miles biking, 10 miles running, 1700 feet of climbing. I think that the record is around 9 hours.

[@jacobrogers7286]

Been waiting for this video! Gotta say it's nice to see Tom, he can be a funny bastard

[@Pedigru]

Great day out. Thanks for taking us along!

[@thexbigxgreen]

"I think the key to today is efficiency." *stops to take a cinematic selfie shot*

[@romanformicola5517]

*Stops for pudding*

[@reyals474]

That was brilliant, looked like so much fun... Apart from the sweltering heat and all that, but just going for it on chill relaxing boulders really looks like a good time

[@derzerbrosler6631]

Had a constant smile while watching. Love your spirit.

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

A great book! Hard Rock as well

[@GodlessReverend]

Well done gents, this was brilliant to watch!

[@Bobbzorzen]

You two are absolute beasts, and keeping up the mood whilst doin this is impressive! well done chaps!

[@powote]

needed some motivation to get active today and this hit the spot, absolutely awesome video! couldn’t stop smiling the whole time 😆

[@TheTobyrobot]

Congrats on the (temporary) world record! Thanks for the entertainment and the great ass shots ;)

[@FreshClipMedia]

I once had a pee on the ledge at 5:28 which dislodged a kidney stone that caused me so much pain that we had to bail off and rush to A+E. Good times.

[@xPhillMcDx]

Love ya guys! Happy to host you in Canada any time!

[@TheLeggy5]

I’ll always be on the edge of my seat with these things! Had a good friend fall 20ft on a solo luckily he was okay just a couple broken bones but this many at speed in a day 😅 that’s a tense watch!!!!!!!

[@andersfugelli2764]

"Professional dad"!! Love it 🙂

[@somechrisguy]

You guys are too precious to be free soloing... I was scared!

[@WideBoyz]

Easy climbs, done them before, know the rock well, no worries to be nervous 🙂👍

[@DEAD-DROP]

The stamina you guys have to travel so far, climb so much and all at such a fast pace... And on a tandem bike XD

[@stitch3163]

Absolutely mad and yet brilliant at the same time. Seems to be the running theme for Wide Boyz videos… which are always superb. Well done Tom and Pete!

[@Spen_cey04]

Tom: *brings a tandem bike* "what have you brought Pete? Pete: free solo.

[@Theboardbro]

another great video!!

[@ritas6971]

Next time take maybe this classic: The Sufferfest with Alex Honnold and Cedar Wright ;) Thanks and great vid = )

[@MusicScala]

I just love you guys and your shenanigans ❤

[@michaelhedges8839]

Love that you used a tandem bike to do this!!!!!!!!

[@Reeenald]

Loved it. Classic Wide Boyz.

[@59PLUS]

Ahhh this makes me miss the Peaks so much!!! Can’t wait to come back

[@palomacarrion2356]

I laughed out loud while watching at the climbing gym right after stretching. You are something else 😂❤️ And well done!!

[@palomacarrion2356]

Btw, I totally share the disappointment about that ice-cream 😂

[@saemj]

Just getting proper bikes will save you at least 30 minutes. Smart of you, leaving some room for improvement for your next run :D

[@hawkhunter3256]

Haha I was like, "good joke with the guide books". Turns out, it wasn't a joke.

[@meganwong9508]

Great video! I could feel the quad burn just watching... (Hope you get your choice ice cream next time!)

[@TurnipFeast]

Congratulations guys - that was great fun to watch. Gonna go rewatch No Sleep Till Bakewell now!

[@WideBoyz]

Ooo yes that's an oldest classic. Hardcore challenge day that one, it took us quite a bit of prep to get it in the 24 hours

[@ryangross5446]

such a cool video guys! I agree about the cycling just being hard as nails as well, it really kicks my butt however it helps a ton with cardio endurance for sure.

[@KeltererDesWahrenMets]

Be like me, knowing nothing about the British climbing scene, wandering the whole clip if all people solo hard looking routes. Didn’t see any ropes with the other climbers also. Now afraid of ever climbing there!

[@randomistmech]

love the Burgtec hat on the guy criticizing the incompetent cycling, dare I guess he owns a Santa Cruz?

[@sessionmediaa]

He does not 😂 He owns a Vitus

[@Mikey.M.V.P.1]

Epic video lads I proper enjoyed this one 1st class🤘

[@WideBoyz]

Thank for tuning in

[@zebbond2752]

Love this love grit will have to attempt one day

[@juliabristow1579]

Hard to say what my fav part of this video is... I think the sheep cameo is winning 😂

[@sessionmediaa]

You have no idea how close it was to not staying in the final vid😂 glad you liked it!

[@leham27]

Loved the map graphic as a history major

[@WideBoyz]

Yeh that was a fun touch to the edit from cameraman Pete!

[@WaechterDerNacht]

You guys should make a video with Francis Cade... i think i never saw Pete looking as destroyed as after a couple kilometers of cycling.

[@kimberlykay1495]

I want to live wherever this is, it’s incredibly beautiful

[@spudsrus]

Love you both and love your work boys.

[@tobysegar]

excellent

[@chriscurt89]

Can confirm, that is the best Bakewell Pudding shop in Bakewell. I've tried them all!

[@MeTTax82]

what a beautiful landscape

[@michael_angelo]

Nice work out there boyz!

[@alimousavi6720]

thanks for the video

[@zomz786]

3 hours is insane

[@WideBoyz]

Rapid

[@nikhann5682]

ohhhh hahah i thought you'd broken the highest speed ever recorded on a tandem bike! maybe a challenge for the next vid?

[@limbolegs]

awesome challenge! love the tandem bike

[@Masamaihari]

Thanks for this 😄

[@gemigtunnan]

This guys are real world action heros

[@pedalinpete]

"You a professional athlete?", "Nah!", queue the ad. break. Classic!

[@daywalker7687]

Is this the start of Wideboyz v SufferBros? I'd love to see Tom and Peat versus Honnold and Cedar in a sufferfest challenge of some sort.

[@CuriousGeorge1603]

Amazing! I really love these challenge suffer fests🙌🤩

[@TheOutdoorExplorerUK]

Great video guys 🧗‍♀️

[@WideBoyz]

Thanks for watching 😀

[@ryonmerrick3112]

THE BOYS ARE BACK

[@fakename757]

we need a speed run of every boulder and route at stanage now!

[@saemj]

Free soloing everything to save time, how very Alex Honold of you :D

[@24934637]

I'd hate to be the cameraman on something like this. Although it's not too bad because both of the climbers are obviously climbing WELL within their abilities, I hate being around when a friend is soloing, or almost as bad, when they are leading a really sketchy route with crappy pro.

[@tiamat87]

best thumbnail :D

[@vincentcolavin]

HELL YEAH

[@william6171]

Looks like someone needs a time trial bike 😁 Great vid

[@azersgames6053]

Trad and crack climbers are definitely something different 🤣

[@thehivemind5531]

that little comment about almost becoming a pro athletic in your 30s just made a guy in his late 20s starting out in this game feel much better

[@jrgensneisen6021]

You should do a collab with GCN cycling! One cyclist and one climber!

[@richardbradley1532]

Great video. Is there a route list? Pretty sure I've done all the Roaches climbs but cannot for the life of me remember the names.

Thanks all

[@Furansowakun]

@@mikecheque Should be top comment

[@mikecheque]

@@Furansowakun I’ve no idea why they didn’t just put the route names in the video 🤷‍♂️

[@iRunningHunter]

watching these two brits sweat and complain about hot rocks is pretty funny. me in the western USA thinking “it’s probably not more than 80 degrees F where they are”

[@WideBoyz]

😂😂 you're totally right. I believe it was around 90 when we finished,but us brits wilt like spinach 😅

[@ThunderChunky101]

The worst thing about a Refresher ice pop is that the purple bit, OBJECTIVELY the best bit, is the smallest! And the yellow is the worst and it's a good 3/5 of the whole thing.

[@joshuawang6330]

Love the haircut

[@ericknorr6362]

They should have partnered up with GCN for this video. 😂😂😂

[@iandonnelly6684]

I thought the exact same thing!

[@error.418]

The real bravery was the trail running in climbing shoes

[@sethgilbertson2474]

I had to take a break from your challenge to look up Bakewell pudding. Looks so good! Hilarious as always guys!

[@craigbritton1089]

Why in the long version is half the frame blocked by a still photo

[@yourneighborwiththecutedog]

sad there isnt a bike trail :/ MORE BIKES :D

[@craigbritton1089]

Back in the day Bacher and Kauk would tandem free solo; then Ron decided to quit the solo game.

[@od188]

Fruit pastel lollies are banging

[@Skyokia]

is it possible to see Kjerag Solo anywhere ?

[@lordbecks1989]

the vid should be named "free solo 17 pitches by tandem" :D

[@malcolmtisdale9222]

UK version of the CDUL?

[@tomaszgluszak5474]

Collab with GCN comming soon :D

[@renis0017]

15 seconds in, smashing that like button

[@WideBoyz]

Haha brilliant 😅🤙

[@atomic7680]

Which climbing shoes are they wearing and why these? Even running with them? Are they comfortable enough for that but good enough for climbing?

[@WideBoyz]

Unparallel Mocc. Their aim thin crack shoe, so feet are fitted flat in them. Very soft

[@jamessherwood7554]

Lightest weight rope is no rope 🤙🏼

[@el3xg373]

That 3h10min time is completely mental. just... how??
