MTB vs Ultra-Runner: The Tour du Mont Blanc

[@scottwilkie5049]

Dude is a unit. Just an hour behind one of the world's greatest trail/mountain runners, and he did it carrying a bike!!

Top Man Matthew. Great trail and awesome riding.

[@broncotrail]

Dude.... Go back and do it again! You got this!

[@MattGlynn]

What a guy! Great job!

The kid is a beast!

Who's filming the third person segments? Because if Matt is wasting time to set up a camera, only to ride by for the shot and then go back to fetch the camera, he's got loads of time to gain back.

Nice but why are you comparing your effort to the Kilians UTMB time? You did not do the UTMB course but went in the other direction. Yes you went around the mont blanc massif following the TMB tracks but it has nothing to do with Kilian and the UTMB time...

It's literally a bit of fun! Think of it as a "top gear challenge".

@@BenJones-sk8gz Having done the CCC I was at first surprised that I didnt recognize any climb then saw his track on Strava and realized he went the other way around. So how can he say constantly I was behind him xx minutes etc... comon he should have just done the UTMB. I'm intrigued to do it myself now haha

[@BenJones-sk8gz]

It's pretty well accepted that on an MTB it's better clockwise... This was not designed to be a direct comparison to a runner on the UTMB, there were several route changes versus the running UTMB route - made for the enjoyment of the ride.

@@BenJones-sk8gzOh ok thats fine, then I just find it strange that he keeps comparing his time...
