I Completed the 30 Longest Routes on Zwift over 30 days, Here's What Happened

[@gplama]

Take Hannah out for dinner mate. (But pay your own way. This $ is for her) :)

[@cyclingmaven]

Woah bro! Very kind of you, she has a smile from ear to ear. xx

[@gritmedia225]

I miss this man being on YT. Unbelievable achievement. Also Hannah just being an absolute class human being. Loved this maven, good to see ya again.

[@mrm95]

Really miss Maven riding crits. Were the first cycling vlogs I started watching on KZbin.

[@abuckeye26]

@@mrm95 same, I loved this guy's vlogs and CRIT commentary when he was known as cycling maven.

[@mikulamusic]

You’re a true warrior!! And so is Hanna for supporting her man! I just started Swifting two days ago ( I’m 46 with no notable history of being active) and I can’t even imagine finishing just one of these routes. Such an inspiration watching you pulling this off!

[@Megaboyd]

Maven! Hope you are well. My favorite vlogger ever. Cheers to you and the fam.

[@grantritchie]

So happy I stumbled upon you and this video, everything about it was ace! Your attitude, the challenge, the storytelling, the filming and the support of your family. It was all incredible and inspiring. I’m subscribed and hopefully there’s more to come! Kudos mate 👏

[@ChrisPahor]

Do yourself a favour and go back through the Maven archives from the beginning. So much great content, amazing people, ups and downs, and fantastic stories!

[@usmcfox09]

Maven is BACK!!!

[@roxic1212]

Saw you on Cam Nicholl’s Tour Down Under video. Real awesome video. Enjoyed it thoroughly. That shed is where it’s at 👍

[@gplama]

MAVEN! Good to see you mate! (btw - The older Kickrs were vampires. They didn't like direct sunlight)

[@technovelodos]

Was going to post the same thing - you need a little sunshade for the trainer. I forgot about this until a week ago, when the sun was the just the right spot in the sky again and bang -power went crazy. Took me 5 min to remember it was the sun shining in the window.

[@stewarthinsley6995]

I struggle to spend more than two and a half hours on a trainer so I'm in absolute awe that you've done that 30days running. Really well done mate 👍

[@PhotoColin]

Huge thanks for continuing to commit to these videos. I think the periodic videos with more details is awesome. Quality over quantity. Thanks for all you do!

[@benanderson9551]

Can honestly say this is a mega achievement. The Uber pretzel is so tough. The climbing in all the courses is hard but the mental challenge is next level. Fair play, absolute legend

[@alsayers]

Great to see you man! The kids are getting big and Hannah looks great! Be well!

[@Steveness100]

You are an absolute legend to complete this challenge and to share it with us. And your wife is an absolute legend to be so happy and supportive of you especially with those young people to look after! Well done to you both 👍

[@tomgoold8694]

Made my day to see a Maven Vlog. 🙌

[@carlosv8119]

Welcome back Maven, you absolute legend !!! What an accomplishment! Very inspirational for anyone that considers themselves less fit than they would like, anything can be accomplished, its the WILL that makes it happen !

[@BenDhover7]

The King returns!!!

[@kendallseaton2621]

I was so happy to see another Maven video pop up in my feed! I love your work and I can't wait for another update on you, fitness, family, and life.

[@dernioo]

Great performance maven. Myself I'm a hobby zwifter for a year now and I even didn't found the courage to ride the last 6 routes you did in a week for over a year. So: great job. And also a big hug to your family. Like you say, without them it's nearly an impossible job. Well done as well Hannah.

[@chrisbeard9704]

It's great to see u back making videos Maven. 👌

[@paulowen7878]

Great to see you back, awesome challenge. Totally lost my mojo over the past few months, not ridden or done anything. Hoping to get myself in a good place to get back on it. This certainly helps the motivation. Thank you

[@cyclingmaven]

Throw the leg back over and start small mate. Mojo will follow.

[@dimasmateos4127]

Congratulations TEAM Maven! There is something to be said about setting your mind on something and fully commit to it. No one can take away that sense accomplishment. Chapeau to you and your family.

[@sianb1260]

Great to see you and the family back. Amazing work, so glad you stated that you still found time during the challenge to enjoy life - eg barbi and beer and some time with the children. Hannah once again so supportive.

[@stagumphs]

This is simply brilliant. How much I’ve missed this man. Thanks Maven you absolute legend. Wish you could be a regular feature in my viewing. Mahooosive fan x

[@robertdmarchand1929]

Great to see you back Maven. A whole year's worth of content in the bag I see - looking forward to the Neistat-esque great comeback!

[@Chairboys]

Yes Mark!! You (and Hannah) are bloody legends. Very inspiring. True grit and a gooch like leather 😆. Very well done and love seeing back on KZbin. X

[@chun-anchan2189]

Wow epic efforts! Also Hannah's support was phenomenal!

[@AB-st7tr]

Cracking Video Mark, not only the riding itself looked tough but the editing was gold standard as usual & 10/10 for Hanna to allow you not only to be able to complete the Challange but also allowing you to walk about with the Hugh Hefner dressing gown on camera 😂 love it champ & see you at sandown “you legend”

[@andygriffiths4910]

‘Bike and trainer for sale’ classic!!

[@refinedimages2869]

Solid effort Mark. Sounds like pure torture.

[@SteveBMor]

Hey Mark, great to see some new content from you. Lovely to see your growing family and the beautiful Hannah too! Give us some more content soon matey ❤

[@hackgolfer7352]

Forgot how much I enjoyed watching maven!

[@marnug]

I remember when you were doing this challenge, I was completing all my route badges, but I was doing 2 or 3 a week. You inspired me at the time, thank you.

[@ChrisPahor]

30 minutes of Maven -- an absolute treat! Good to see you're still kicking along Mark.

[@tehcarlo]

Chapeau Maven! I really struggle on the trainer, so this challenge and you knocking it off just blew my mind! Team effort for both you and Hannah, she's awesome! 2 minute noodles as a mid ride snack, can't believe I never thought of that.

[@michaelm5203]

always happy to see you post again, truly happy for you and hannah

[@cyclingmaven]

FINALLY got around to making this video. Who's doing the challenge? (tip: Don't!)

[@DarenC]

I've been on Zwift since 2015 and still haven't done most of the long routes, let alone 30 days in a row. No plans to either. 🤣

[@stefmb1290]

hmmm , dec 24 th to jan 8th - 16 days , winter boot camp

[@chrisbayliss3532]

Great stuff Mark! i havent seen your chanel since 2019 so have resubscibed again .

[@bicycle697]

Great see you back on the youtubes! I miss those heady days when you created something special. But, and it's a big but, you have created something possibly more special since. Peace brother!!

[@jasonng8143]

Ive finished the video and im so glad that you got uploaded a video. Keep the riding going on, you absolute legend!

[@clinthoneycutt4246]

What a legend!!! This is inspiring! I'm currently doing a 100 days in a row on Zwift challenge with the finish trying to complete the Festive 500...big challenge for me, and like I said this is inspiring. Thanks!!!

[@StephenLaneHPTek]

Good work fella. Nice to see you challenging yourself. Love your work. Get outside. See you out on the road.

[@mechpatt]

Congratulations Maven! Really glad you got the video out, I knew how hard this was and wondered how you would make something interesting out of something so static. However you succeeded again, really enjoyed it. You really have a talent mate👍👍

[@edlaverack]

Love this maven! Been a long time viewer! Great challenge and an equally great effort :)

[@salsalawyer]

Missed your video vlogs, welcome back

[@adsholly1]

Great vid Maven thank you for putting it together. Hanna with the tough love but it got you back on the bike, she's a keepa

[@ChrisWhatley]

Great to see you on screen again Maven! What a legend! What a legendary effort!

[@marlonpdot]

Yes!!! Maven is back!!!! And Hannah is a legend, you guys are are just amazing!

[@andrewraine3405]

Fantastic to see you posting again! Top job ticking off those routes, has proved a good motivator to get my turbo back out and working on fitness! Hoping you've got more videos in the pipeline! 🤘

[@terrygolding5544]

Great work Mark - super effort on the challenge! - & very well documented/recorded!

[@ImGlossy63]

Just stumbled across this and wow that was fun to watch. As a seasoned cyclist if I were to do this I would separate the long/hard days and sprinkle in some easy/shorter rides between as recovery days. Well done Maven and your wife is amazing!!!

[@FunkyVibesUK]

Chapeau, great vid, nice to see you back.

[@AliWareham84]

Maaaaavvvvvveeeennnnn!! Missed you and your amazing blogs! So good to see you back. Hope the family are all well.

[@teroy45]

not gonna lie, i teared up a bit when i saw your upload. hope to see more.

[@chrisfowler6278]

ohh mate, what a moment! Hopped on the trainer for the first time in almost 8 months yesterday was thinking about you. Missed your videos. Heck I remember when you and Hannah announced the first pregnancy...time flies. Great seeing this, glad you are well, and yes... Hannah is an absolute legend for this. I watch my wife take care of our 14 month old while Im gone on work, its not easy. You said it right, selfish challenge... but stoked you completed it! Ride on mave!

[@AdventureswithLenny1]

Really enjoyed this mate, well done

[@gillesbensabeur7754]

We missed you guys! Another great video

[@1234andrewjones]

I did the PRL half last night and it’s not the actual cycling which is tough it’s the repetition of it, dreading the full! Mad effort - props from the UK! 👌

[@laurippt]

Incredible accomplishment! Great video!

[@jdtyper3196]

Great to see you on the tube again! You've got me motivated to do this challenge :] Take care!

[@fgewfee]

you dont imagine my true hapiness of seeing a new video from your channel, amazing cracking human! keep going! Go Maven!!

[@goodytyler9645]

I love how you are climbing and only at 115W power. Truly inspiring! ;)

[@stevebucknall1928]

Loved the video Maven welcome back 😁

[@tomrowlay7343]

Awesome Maven. Great to see you back on the screen with the family. Well done mate.

[@baskin2112]

YOU. ARE. A. LEGEND. (and so is Hannah!!!)

[@dadslostdiary1]

Yay a maven vid! You’re the best story teller ! Great video, come up to Brisbane sometime soon!

[@neilduncan441]

Your an absolute hero.. took some mental strength, makes me want to get a trainer and zwift! (but not do your challenge! ha) - your wife is so lovely and supportive, its inspiring! I love how you fit this in around your family

[@allanfoster6965]

Hurray! Was just thinking that The Maven hasn't posted for an absolute age. Lovely to see the fam are all golden.

[@Bikemanjoe1]

MAVAN IS BACK serious effort mate well done

[@rexringschott]

Enjoyed the video. It's been a long time. Question: What's the advice on the trainer difficulty setting for those big rides? I have mine set on 100% but I only ever do one big climb at a time - and my knees ache for a while after just that one.

[@authorjohnwquinn]

Amazing effort! The most I can handle on the Kickr is about 2 hours before I have to jump off! Well done, sir!

[@YoubiTheGreat]

I just started with Zwift. Didn’t know it could provide that level of training. Wow man ! Good job !

[@MrTomCrx]

Hoping this is the return of your videos, one of the best on KZbin!

[@sashas8168]

Wow glad to see you back Mavstar. Great achievement!

[@Avatar_of_Apollo]

Hannah is a boss. Real kickass lady you got there, dude.

[@Jeetacademykl]

I m struggle doing more than 90 min on the trainer. I am fit but not cycling fit at all . Cycling is so humbling. And this video made humbling things even more humbling. all the best to you and your amazing supportive family.

[@chefsolidOriginal]

Great effort dude. The 6 beers post ride made me giggle🤣

[@nikblyth8047]

Great video Mark. Followed you as you did this challenge so finally seeing this shows just what you went through (Hannah too). I struggle to do more than 2 hours on the trainer but might try some of the longer routes over xmas. Hats off to ya. 👍

[@jeffcarr4870]

That was an amazing feat of endurance and perseverance. I have done them all except the PRL Full, but by no means could i do two in consecutive days. Great video.

[@markdoddridge1828]

Great to see you back buddy,I still think you make the best vids on KZbin. Hope life is good for you and the family are well.

[@kpi314]

Pure motivation! Great video...thanks for that!

[@larrytsang8149]

Great to see you back Mark! Hannah’s the best!👍

[@steve-d0]

Good to see you back Mark. Hopefully more to come.

[@biker_bryce817]

Maven is Back!! Great to see ya, Legend.

[@brynlewis7175]

"Rip the band-aid off" - harsh! 😂 Always good to see a Maven video upload. Awesome challenge too.

[@enaht1]

Awesome achievement, well done and congratulations for getting it done

[@richardhutchings1980]

Massive effort. Takes a lot of focus

[@nadiromar2666]

Epic video mate and great effort.

[@alexrodgers635]

Brilliant video. Shout out to Hannah with the assist as well.

[@Cathy_MidwestHome_Hens]

I’m here cuz I working on the last 6 (hardest) routes on Zwift. Just did Surrey Hills alone yesterday and doing PRL Half Friday and I was hoping for a video on a realistic finish time so thanks!

[@runningwithmarc]

Wow, nice to watch a video again from you Mark, enjoyed it. Did it take 11months to edit :D or you forgot to click publish ;) either way, good to see some content from you again..... and last lol to you drinking from the can and Hannah turning her nose up at it!

[@adaml7987]

Absolute boss. Well done mate.

[@jimmyp7638]

That is a crazy challenge. Well done.

[@longandwinding]

Tops storytelling as usual Mark. This one was worth the wait

[@cyclingmaven]

Thanks mate. I hope the fam is going well and we should catch up for another ride soon.

[@longandwinding]

@@cyclingmaven that’d be great 👍

[@jamesharvey1875]

Wow - Well done !! I’m down to my final 4 being 4 horsemen, mega, Uber and full PRL. If I knock over one a week I’ll be happy. Back to back is insane. Massive “Ride On”

[@derekcravenPT]

Welcome back, now go ride your bike outside and take us with you ( I know the weather is crap there but it will get better as I’m going to be in Melbourne for Christmas.)

[@ccarling]

Congrats on this. Much respect, and also - I liked your comments at the end about the real-life impact on the family. It’s a constant tension, isn’t it? Anyways, what an accomplishment. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@thelmaviaduct]

Glad you're back. ❤️👍🏿

[@allencameron2619]

Welcome back mark its amazing to see after a year your still into cycling you still enjoy doing KZbin videos, family is doing well. So happy for u bud keep up the good work 😁👍

[@__marshie]

This is impressive! I’ve finished every route on Zwift but not a chance would I have done it on consecutive days, madness.

[@thepressroomcyclingpodcast]

Your Zwift avatar is JACKED. On ya bro, welcome back ❤
