Wow, what a super ride! Mark's ability to focus on the task at hand while dealing with the pain and fatigue is unbelievable. Congratulations.

This was a brilliant watch of a monumental effort. Anything with Marc is always an instant watch, sometimes more than once. Also, well done to Robbie Mitchell for setting such a hard time previously.

based on what I've seen of Hank, I think it'd be amazing to have him on your support team, and I don't care what it is your doing. You could be in line at a cafeteria and no matter how terrible the food was you'd feel like you won with Hank cheering you on as you tried to get through it

[@johnhickie1107]

Cross Canada. Did that in my teens and it took 30 days - it would be amazing to see Mark do this. Epic, amazing wild country for much of the way. Like Scotland, long long days in the summer. Agree with the comment that your films are getting better and better - absolutely engaging.

[@chrishey6891]

Of all the GCN presenters to have with Mark, Hank is the one. He has been on some epic rides on his own and with Mark, plus he seems such a positive character to have around.

Anyone else that has ridden the route would agree, amazing ride 💪

[@toosas]

how long does it take a mere mortal to cycle that? thanks

[@sh-mufc]

@@toosas I trained for 9 months having never ridden a road bike before. I'm quite lucky where I am in Scotland that a 15 mile route was around 1.5k of climbing so that was my training for a long time. I upped the distances as I rode more. Then I rode around the Isle of Dunoon as a typical nc500 day for us which was an eye opener for me in terms of time in the saddle and nutrition. Our team completed it over 7 days for charity.

[@toosas]

Am I the only one watching his toe off and hip rock in the early hours, then as the fatigue sets in the beautiful alternating sinusoidal curve Mark's spine draws and thinking either the cranks are too long or his seat has been set too high? 😳

Wonderful! What a man! I think I've watched all of Mark's epic challenges and find them so inspiring. I've ridden on and off for 40 plus years and at 62, recovering from blood cancer (Chronic Lymphocytic Luekemia), I'm doing the 100 mile route of Ride London next May in aid of Blood Cancer. Nothing compared to Mark's typical mileage but I'll be re-watching a few of these to put wind in my sails!

to average just around 30 kph on elapsed time for 28 hours 35 minutes - including all his breaks and everything is just mind blowing. This is a super human effort!! Congrats Mark! And great job GCN for capturing it in such an entertaining way. I know KZbin calls for 30 minute or less clips to keep viewers engaged - it would be cool to see a bigger production that showed more of the details both on the bike, and behind the scenes of this record breaking attempt.

It's a superhuman effort. Incredible work. I've cycled the short B869 Stoer/Drumbeg section of the route, it's only 20 miles or so but has some brutal hills/ramps on it. Ardbhair Brae coming in at 27% or thereabouts is particularly brutal. To think that Mark would have been hitting these sections late-ish on in the 1st day makes the times he recorded on those sections even more impressive.
