Can We Survive & Enjoy A Winter Bikepacking Epic?

[@TheBroomwagon]

One of the funniest GCN videos ever: just having a laugh with your mates - a proper feel good film.

[@gcn]

Hi, thanks for the comment. So glad you enjoyed it! 👍

[@yokaidigital3033]

I always know when I see Sy and Hank together it’s going to be an entertaining adventure

[@rshelmerdine]

Properly laughed out loud when they had lunch at a picnic table. Hilarious. Great work fellas.

[@Zebsy]

You guys need one more person and you'll be the new old top gear. On bikes!

[@jdancouga]

Tern can consider their marketing sponsor money well spent. I want one. Good video nonetheless.

[@HasanIbrahim147]

Miss GCN+... Would've killed for another hour of this film. Si and Hank - pure gold. Loved the film. Well done team.

[@joshaalders3029]

Was thinking the same thing!

[@gcn]

We miss it too 😢 Would you like to see some longer videos on the channel?

[@azMONKza]

Yes please! ​@@gcn👍👍

[@benshannon3121]

Yes. Bring us the documentary films again. The Himalayan one is THE best film I've watched and I'm sad I'll never get to see it again

The best!

[@rosson1983]

This is what GCN is about. Showcasing the sheer enjoyment of cycling. One of the best videos in a while.

[@gcn]

thanks! the guys really enjoyed it!

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I am a cyclist and I live on the Pennines and this was fantastic GCN. The first thing I noticed was how much you two were smiling, grinning and laughing throughout the ride. Chapeau to both of you for taking on such a challenge in February. Them bikes definitely have a gap to fill in the market for sure.

[@gcn]

Smiles per hour, not miles per hour! 😊

[@ianstewart8301]

I love hearing Si describe a bike-he can describe the adverts in a magazine and I’d still enjoy it. This was fantastic

[@gcn]

Hahahaha sounds like GCN is your dream then 😉

[@daskleineM]

22:10 I really appreciate this scene a lot, the message it sends is much deeper than just drinking a cup of wine.

[@gcn]

Apart from the bike, food might be the best method of transport out there 🙌

[@nicholasbelanger3853]

Love this video. Just got a Radwagon nearing the start of winter here in Washington State. Looking to brave the elements as long I can while doing home visits for my geriatric patients. Those Terns are gorgeous machines… Maybe next time for me.

[@treyquattro]

once again Si and Hank impress with their irrepressible good humor and willingness to take on epic challenges. They made it look easy but I bet it wasn't, especially that 35% climb! And always take a table and chairs: advice to live - comfortably outdoors - by.

[@gcn]

The table and chairs was pure comedy

[@TheGinger1]

We've had a GSD for the last 5 years and loved it. Watching this, I can just imagine all sorts of family adventures we could have. I love when great companies let great people just build cool stuff that they personally want to use. This looks mega!

[@gcn]

We couldn't agree more!

[@Cycling366]

Nice one chaps, I love bikepacking in the Peak District having grown up there. Just got back from a winter bikepacking film trip there myself!

[@capturemylife]

So lucky to have the peaks so close to us. Had some epic times and some brutal climbs!

[@Cycling366]

@@capturemylife yes indeed! That trip we did a couple of years ago was brilliant. Will have to do it again some time soon

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@garyharty1902]

Si and Hank were not the only only ones with a massive smile on their faces. This video was too much fun to watch and put a massive smile on my face.

[@catherinepeele5217]

Tern never misses. I'm a very happy owner of their HSD (in addition to a regular touring bike), and the clever utility and sheer fun of it never cease to surprise me. This bike will bring that experience to many more people and use cases. Excellent video!

[@gcn]

They are great bikes 🙌 Utility bikes are so much fun, It's all about the fun of cycling!

[@mitch_smith]

This brings to memory the epics from gcn plus with these two. Absolute joy.

[@gcn]

Would you like to see a longer form video of this? 🎥

[@nmcelroy3540]

@GCN yes!

[@lanterner6565]

This is the best GCN video I've seen in a while, great to see Hank and Si having fun on a mad adventure 😀

[@gcn]

Never a dull day shooting with these two 🙌Chuck some cargo bikes in and everything is great!

[@jonw1431]

I am ill in bed at the moment and your video has properly cheered me up. Those bikes look awesome, I would definitely have one of those! Great work guys.

[@gcn]

Get well soon!

[@andrewdeer2147]

How many bottles of wine were in there? Funniest line in the video was Hank, doing his best Rowley Birkin impression, asserting that he wouldn’t go anywhere without a table. Great video boys. Like the bikes as well.

[@gcn]

Bikes and Banter... what's not to like?

[@Radelbande]

Cool! Hopefully I’ll get my hands on the Orox as well soon!

[@hoser7706]

You guys just bottled pure epic fun and passed it around to us. Cheers!! And kudos from a wimpy Canadian to uou tough Brits for bike camping in that “winter”. Toughest weather ever.

[@bittiapina]

That shot of Si explaining the details of the bike while Hank's in the background eating is just peak comedy 🤣 Also figured it was a Finn that came up with this thing. Cause we do be have some narly winter weather that is just a big no no for anything "standard" 😏

[@better.better]

it's basically e-bike version of a Surly Big Fat Dummy, although Surly discontinued the "fat" version and their e-bike version is based on their Big Dummy frame which is 29 × 3, though I wonder if it can fit 26 × 4.

[@willpeakes6000]

Hilarious! I didn't think Hank would really bring the table! Those bikes were awesome too. Nice kids Si!! Bring them on the next adventure with Hank.

[@gcn]

Hank is always up for the challenge! 😂

[@janetamaki2383]

Fantastic and hilarious video. Absolutely loved it!!!! I want that bike!

[@KimiTheCat09]

Absolutely loved this. Vids like this affirm the conviction that there's just something special about rides that aren't controlled by data-driven performance i.e. speed, aerodynamics, watts per kilo, FTP etc. Too often the data hype dominates cycling content and it's nice to take a mental break from it all and just watch Si and Hank riding the modern equivalent of pack mules and laughing themselves silly on the trails. Well done, Team Glampzors, this was a real joy to watch.

[@sandymeek343]

Loved seeing you ride my local trails from Sheffield and into the Peaks. Looked like you had a lot of fun making that video. It was so good I watched it twice 👍

[@HenningFCB]

My favourite GCN-presenters! So funny! Thanks mates!

[@bkmontgomery]

Well done boys. You’ve made a wet & rainy February camping trip look like a really good time.

[@gcn]

You don't need the sun to have a good time... just a bike 😉

[@ssenssel]

One of the best duos in GCN roster.

[@eduardocarvalhoneto909]

That was awesome. Made me remember the days of GCN+… make more like this.

[@gcn]

Thanks! Would you like us to create some long form videos on the main channel? 🎥

[@eduardocarvalhoneto909]

It would be awesome if you release some like the GCN+ documentaries and adventures. That was one of the main reasons I signed up initially to GCN+. You could do in series like zwift academy or even release some of the GCN+ documentaries here.

[@seattlegrrlie]

Hank slicing a watermelon on the side of the road has to be the happiest I've ever seen him 😂

[@Uduwerage]

Wow, I live in the Highlands of Scotland and this would meet my needs. All I would need is something for my pooch to sit in.

[@Mavczers]

This kind of video motivates me to get out for a bike ride and to plan a little weekend adventure to live my life out of depression :)

[@xardasvonlorien]

We've got a GSD a few weeks ago and love it. Now, when Tern announced the Orox, my wife instantly wanted one of these, too. With this video, you are not making things better. :D I think we need to save up some money ... Awesome video, guys!

[@cruachan1191]

Love the tone of these vids, the lads were clearly having a blast and the impressions of Ollie moaning were brilliant.

[@martinaxe6390]

Good reminder that cycling doesn’t have to equate to suffering. Almost done with my conversion of a late 80s ATB into a touring/bike packing rig. It’s a different ride than my road bike, but no less fun. So long as I’m on a bike.

[@gcn]

That's such an important point! Cycling is not connected to suffering, the focus should always be on enjoying yourself 🙌

[@Kimberlietriracer25]

Super fun! I need one of these bikes in my life. 186 mile range would make an epic bikepacking trip in the Rockies or a pleasant ride along the Oregon coast highway, with a stop in at Mo's for hot fresh clam chowder would be perfect.

[@johngray8798]

Awesome. Si is so enthusiastic, it really is good to watch. Keep it up guys.

The Katy trail. That would be my ride. It is a bucket list ride for me. I have to thank you for all your video's. I have been using them to try and come back from a very serious bout of Covid a couple of years ago. I have been struggling to get back to what I could do prior to that. Tonight I used this video to ride the longest ride I have made in many months. Thank you GCN. All of you are an inspiration to me.

This was an epic video! It was odd for Hank to question whether a route was safe, but then went full Hank and sent it, as one would expect It was I missed opportunity though for Hank to bring his Gurkha knife to cut up that watermelon

I just rode one (the 14) it’s spectacular!

Man this bike is made for Seattle. Carry groceries on the weekdays, hit the Cascade mountains on the weekends.

Mam Tor is known as the Shivering Mountain. it lies on the geological fault between the Dark Peak (gritstone) and the White Peak (limestone). Mam Tor shivered faster than they could repair the road. I remember going up it in the family Austin as a boy. Great adventure boys - please keep them coming!

[@johnlieto8906]

soi nice to see two mates out doing something so cool!

[@ryamldess]

Glad to see someone like Tern finally making a bike like this. It's sort of a mash-up of two bikes I own, a Quietkat Jeep and DIY "bike tractor" I built on a 1996 Gary Fisher Supercalibre frame with dual hub motors and dual batteries, plus a GSD. $8,999 for the upper spec model isn't too bad considering the dual batteries and Rohloff. For my personally it's not worth it because I have the Quietkat and don't have kids. The Quietkat and my DIY bike are considerably more powerful and have more torque as well, but having gone on numerous trail rides on, believe it or not a Riese & Muller Homage, I can say that despite only being 250W nominal, the Bosch Performance Line is one of the most capable bikes in off-road touring conditions. Combined with a high-range transmission in turbo mode, it eats hills alive, it's honestly really impressive what they've achieved with that drive system. I built that DIY bike, and bought that Quietkat, which is considered a "hunting bike" because no one else made anything like these two bikes, and therefore didn't really meet my own needs. So I'm glad to see Tern making a bike for crazy people like me who like doing XC rides on e-bikes and hauling 300 pounds of cargo in city riding. One criticism I would level is the complete lack of suspension. Although the fatties properly aired down provide a surprising amount of suspension just from the balloon action of the tires, one some of those loose over hardpack conditions you were in, it will probably still tend to bounce your around a bit.

[@mattjordan9521]

[@amelieelanor8953]

I really enjoyed your video! My husband has a Riese & Müller Multicharger and we went on quite some trips with it with our now 9 year old daughter. When she was younger, she could sit on the back when she couldn’t go any further and we attached the bike with the follow me tandem system. On the Multichanger, everything is a size smaller compared to this bikes, but as we live in Munich we don’t need a car anymore.

[@IoanSaid]

Really lovely! Reminded me of the Nepal trip (the last GCN+ film we watched :( ) because of your fun interaction! You're a great team! Those bikes are really cool! I just came back from Costa Rica in the Ojochal area, the worst roads I've ever seen! Maybe take them there!
