I Tried To Burn Off The World's Biggest Breakfast!

Conor took on the world's biggest breakfast from Shepherd's Place Farm near Doncaster. Not only did he try and eat this mammoth full English but we also challenged him to cycle home and burn off all those calories. 17,000 calories is the challenge, does he make it? Will the breakfast beat him? Is his iron stomach up to the task? Watch the video to find out.

What do you want to be our next challenge? Let us know in the comments 👇 (p.s. don't try this challenge at home, it didn't end well for Conor!)

[@two-eyedRoy]

"it didn't end well for Conor" Not surprising. The sheer volume of food in a single sitting... I would be intrigued though, if it was spread out over three sittings during the same ride. We have atleast proven Conor is no 'Muscles Glasses'

[@F4R182]

Maybe another eating challenge but after a big ride instead? Bet he could eat a lot more 😂

[@sergeynikiforov4552]

Not torturing people, please!

[@alinapopescu872]

Keep Dr. Bridgewood away from poor Conor, the man's got two small children. You have James to experiment on - a good, sturdy lad already used to the harsh demands of science.

[@robw718]

[@FlatSpinMan]

Unhinged is the exact word for this one. Poor Connor. That must have been horrendous.

[@swazi5]

I loved it 😄

[@cccycling5835]

The David Goggins quote is golden too, I say it all the time 😂 but I think that applies to physical endurance and not how much food can one person eat in one sitting 😅

[@adamgriss2025]

[@HowP88]

£50 for 15 portions of everything is actually very reasonable 😂

[@gcn]

[@lasskinn474]

it's not too bad for a group. I guess depends on how much does a hotel buffet breakfast cost per person over there or how much are the individual items.

[@mathewrose2951]

II was thinking the same. Minus the meat, that's very close to what our family of seven eats for a breakfast at home, and it's more like $100 if we go out for breakfast in the US

[@volkervoit]

It also shows the value and quality of ingredients :-)

[@Reason077]

Right? Divide it amongst 15 people and you’ve got a very reasonable breakfast for £3.33 each

I‘m 100% sure Ollie is THAT guy that had most fun „decorating“ drunk people at university.

He needed some space for that one 🤣

[@prispin]

Hank and Conor need to get together to give Ollie one of these evil challenges, given the way he's been doing them wrong lately. To be fair, Conor had to agree to this insanity. The real question is: on his slender frame, where did all the food go?

[@gcn]

We like your thinking! What should the challenge be? 👀🍝

[@QoraxAudio]

"The sausage that broke the camel's back" sounds so baaaaad! 🤣🤣🤣

[@RedleafUs]

Ollie's laugh @ 7:27 might be the greatest " Supervillain" style laugh I've ever heard. Now he just needs a terrifying name, like "Dropper Man" or " The Climber" - On a serious note, I greatly enjoy everything you guys do. Nice work once again!

[@davefave4351]

You are a sick man Oliver Bridgewood... Nice one! 👍

[@cruachan1191]

As I said on the video with Hank fuelling like a pro (but on gels etc), Ollie is really starting to relish being GCN's resident mad scientist/evil genius. He's clearly been practising the laugh!

With a friend like Ollie who needs enemies.

[@fa1coner]

When Ollie tries to force Connor to have a sausage 2hrs into the ride, and then cackles, he sounds exactly like Beavis and butthead.
