Riding The Nevis Range | GMBN Epic Ride In Scotland

[@gmbn]

Where would you like to see Blake and Neil go for an epic ride? Let us know!

[@emilyjcowen]

Italian Dolomites- the Sella Ronda and area surrounding Selva di Val Gardena

[@willbennett7107]

Bradford

[@coryevans6176]

Would love to see them do something like this, but on a fat bike.

[@willbennett7107]

Cory Evans fat bikes are fucked up

[@bozofn1526]

go to a bike park with kids Walmart bikes

[@the_spanner_ch7mp]

OH NO not another Blake and Neil EPIC ride................................................... LOVE IT we need more Looks amazing and is now added to my bucket list Awesome stuff Blake,Neil and #GMBN

[@tinidavies6531]

I miss Scotland so much (based on the south coast for work at the moment), and this was a perfect illustration of everything I missed! Blake’s appropriate happiness at the lack of the fanged clouds, the dreich weather, the epic mountains, the drainage ditches, awesome rock, even those fire road climbs from 10 under the Ben! Much as I hated them several laps in...

[@keefff1]

I've walked that path down many times and not once did I think that it would be fun to ride.....respect guys 🤘

[@rumplestiltskin1350]

Knew you guys where filming when we saw you near the ben nevis inn, not finished watching so lets see if you edit the misses out shouting "its blakey" haha great work guys love the content 🤙

[@Jp-gw3tu]

Saw them there too!!

[@rumplestiltskin1350]

Me and the doris at the end there.... we made it on gmbn!! #bucketlist

[@neildonoghueMTB]

We spent a bit of time at the Ben Nevis inn that week 😀

[@solmackay]

@@neildonoghueMTB Unrelated, but what trousers are they you've got on there lol?

[@Jayneflakes]

I love these epic rides in wild places, well done GMBN team. I would have loved to see you drag one of the GCN gravel bikers up there too.

[@gmbn]

Steve over on EMBN did that recently 👉 embn.me/EMTBvsGravel

[@Pienimusta]

Will we get a bike check of that new Neuron CF? Epic Ride!

[@dereksmith3632]

Been riding in high heat, this vid was refreshing, and the views were wonderful.

[@erpo1977]

I love these videos with Blake and Neil. Really cool adventure ride, definitely on my list of adv rides to do. Keep these videos going! 👌🏻👍🏻😎

[@jamesglezos]

Music is awesome thanks so much film and edit crew!!

[@brauljo]

Well except for 4:29, real kill the edit crew moment. And 7:14 was a kill the cameraman moment

[@thedudeabides3403]

For me Niels always been the best presenter. I love Martyn too of course but I’ve never enjoyed Blakes hyper approach & In this vid Niels subtlety takes the edge off him so i could really enjoy it. Thanks.

[@mikieson]

You sound really boring like a couple of guys I've ridden with. Rode with them like 2x and never again.

[@Pienimusta]

Neil has some inner Finn inside him. Always cool and relaxed and says only what is needed =P

[@wreed3395]

Neil keeps it all grounded and even. Stoic and mature. A great balance on the presenter team.

[@ocbyn]

Great video lads. Props to the camera guy/gal. Still had to ride their gear too.

[@mojo3398]

i happened to be there in a hostel and i went up that hill before breakfast, came back and someone told me that was actually britains highest mountain. i got higher mountains in my literal backyard and that's only a smaller mountain area in my region :D but it was nice, enjoyed it, will come back one day. every scott was so nice and the nature is beautiful.

[@Perigault]

Definitely more like this. Thanks for another great film! Excellent work!

[@Squirrel_Rides]

Dammit, you guys need to stop doing so many epic rides - my list is getting too long! Adding this to the next trip 😉

[@steamerAE]

Great one, those epic ride videos are always my favourite one's.

[@kathyerickson9402]

Wow! That looked crazy rough on the body! Thanks for sharing such a gorgeous ride!

[@ianrichardson62]

Thanks for the great video lads!

[@TheGrimshaw]

Nice ride guys, its really Beautiful up there.

[@davekelly8168]

Excellent stuff, makes me want to go out and ride..

[@lukedamon3219]

Same 😀

[@gmbn]

That's the plan Dave! Have fun 🤘👊

[@felipeherray]

Best mtb content on youtube

[@gmbn]

Thanks! 👍

[@jkirk9697]

Thanks guys, great video. Inspirational!

[@gordonhenderson1194]

Carn Dearg is pronounced like "Carn Dirrig", Gaelic never seems to read how you'd say it. Great content, and an absolute beast of a run.

[@grigorbrowning]

I'd go further and suggest that Dearg is pronounced almost with a 'j' in with the 'd'- so "Carn dJerag". And while I'm being a pedantic ass hat, Blake was pointing at Tower Ridge. Carn Dearg is behind his head... :-)

[@brauljo]

Well that's English too

[@brauljo]

​@Pete is never wrong It's unphonetic

[@brauljo]

@Pete is never wrong Oh yeah I didn't mean that Carn Dearg was in English or of English origin. Goes to show its ambiguity as well.

[@gordon1545]

It's really Carn Jerack. You can get away with more of a 'g' sound at the end, but definitely not a 'd' sound at the start of Dearg, it's a 'j' sound.

[@chrispugh2450]

wish i had the ability and fitness to even attempt the first climb !!!!. top effort boys!!!

[@beardedvikingmtber]

Well done lads, quality content as usual 😂

[@ewanminer6865]

I just got my first full suspension bike it’s a Rocky Mountain Thunderbolt

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

Swan, it took me 18 years. I love my full sus, however I bought a plus tired hard tail and I am surprised how often I use it.

[@Aggressive_Splooge]

@@ronaldtartaglia4459 I'm looking at both, full sus trail and a hardtail carbon with plus sized tires. What do you prefer?

[@willyd-adv]

You guys should check out Grizzly Monroe Diarys, hes riding every single Munroe (mountain) in Scotland and is a badass

[@cameronlesley2428]

@3:40 it’s cool to see both bikes rocking the same grips, looks epic fun and interesting

[@davidland8217]

Great ride: love epic rides. I’d love to see if you could piece something together in Mallorca. Mountain biked there once and felt like there was a lot more the island wanted to give that we never found.

[@thomasbodegrim]

Would be awesome if you could note in the description what bikes you're ridning!

[@robertschaefer370]

Blake’s on a canyon neuron - www.canyon.com/en-de/mountain-bikes/trail-bikes/neuron/ Neil’s on a nukeproof mega - nukeproof.com/products/mega-275-rs-2019/

[@mtbjurmala5735]

Simply great video. GMBN you'r still welcome in Latvia. Can you make video about MTB tricks you can progress in when you are over 30, 40 or even 50 y.o., please?

[@doctajuice]

The landscape and terrain in gb/Ireland is crazy beautiful. I've been but didn't have my bike. Would love to go back and actually ride sometime. Great video dudes!

[@Eltoca21]

Wow! I wonder when those stone paths were built?

[@BIKEITSN]

It would be nice to see a movie for filmmakers related to mtb. How to prepare for such an expedition, some useful tips, useful accessories. Because from my (little) experience I know that it is quite problematic. You make great cycling videos on trips like this one, so I think you've already gained a lot of experience on these topics :D

[@andrewgreenwood8727]

Magic !! Guys can you ride up & down "Scafell " in the lake District as you have been up " snowden & now Ben Nevis ' great vid !!!!!👍🏼🌲🌲🚵🌲🌲👌🏻

[@keaghanwillamson3271]

I’m getting a 2017 giant stance the bike I’m riding now is a 2013 giant boulder the suspension doesn’t work and the brakes don’t work Love you guys

[@ewanminer6865]

Keaghan Willamson I was going to get the stance but instead I got a Rocky Mountain Thunderbolt

[@enuazeal]

amazing ride

[@yeti575lt]

Blake needs a CushCore tire insert sistem to avoid that sidewall pinch flat and keep the lovely tubeless feeling.

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

4:00 PREMIUM Neil at his best ..

[@rrobotman]

Very entertaining to watch, I really enjoy these types of videos you guys make. From the terrain it looks like tire choice was a critical one. What tires and gearing did you both run and what was your feeling on how your choices performed?

[@JimmyRed1234]

Will you guys share the route that you took? I would love to give it a go myself

[@gmbn]

It's up on our Komoot page 👍

[@JimmyRed1234]

@@gmbn found it thanks guys!

[@ghostofjakeblues]

Make sure you understand what you are taking on before you get started. This video is a poor reflection of the route from the lochan down.

[@Mr229357]

Nice ride 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@givemeakidney]

Of all the routes to choose in this area. Oh what you've missed😭.

[@nickb8257]

Great vid. What are those box things on the posts each side of the trail at 3:34?

[@themeatnpotatoes]

😟 I was hoping for some shots at the pub . Great vid as always though, looks epic

[@richardbarton6647]

Guys what Garmin are you use for navigation on your MTB. Thanks

[@tombowman8308]

What category does Blake’s bike come under trail or enduro

[@robertschaefer370]

It’s a canyon Neuron, well and truly a trail bike ( a lighter trail bike ). Tbh the category shouldn’t matter though.

Yes, credit to the crew (or was it just one camera man? Lol) more epic rides please.

Good try !!!

[@philjoy6635]

Nice canyon Blake

[@dannyr6040]

what bum bag/ waist pack is Neil wearing does anyone know? or recommend a decent one?

[@elischroppel446]

Which pub is the real question. Not many in Fort Bill.

[@edb2070]

Blake where did you get that pocket roll for your bike kit please

[@yorkchris10]

I appreciate that I have experienced this place even if in a small way. Is there a hill in the Shetlands?

[@olliebutler1026]

I love you guys!! Please reply.( best youtubers ever)

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

Dont beg for replies... it's repulsive

[@joopvanroy6599]

That's supposed to be a hiking path though, right? No problems encountered?

[@LB-zb2bb]

Would have liked to see you get too the top.

[@Adwij]

Did I actually just hear a Lethal bizzle POW reference on the GMBN channel haha

[@owenhough9443]

I’ve been skiing up Ben Nevis and have always wanted to go mountain biking there but always end up going other places.😔

[@ghostofjakeblues]

Have you been skiing up Ben Nevis, or have you been skiing at Nevis Range on Aonach Mor? Whilst it is possible to ski on Ben Nevis you'd have to walk up to ski down as there are no lifts.

[@Aggressive_Splooge]

What kind of Fork does Neil have? DVO?

[@th_js]

No, RockShox Lyrik.

[@Aggressive_Splooge]

@@th_js thanks!

[@neilbower123]

Can I ask what the mini track pump you used please?

[@jordanwilcox4723]

What is the pump you was using after plugging your side wall please?

[@n8_vel868]

I really wish I can explore and ride places that scenic. Riding in Louisiana in United States is not even close to the same universe of the trails you ride😂 It's flat with the best mtb trail here around 120ft in elevation. But I've always wanted to climb a mountain and ride down it, that's what a mountain bike is born for💪

[@yengsabio5315]

Superb mountainbiking skills demoed by Niel & Blake! As for me, practice, practice, practice! More of it, eh! Lots'a love, cheers, & Mabuhay, from tropical Philippines! #RideOn #KeepBiking

What were those suits you were wearing?

[@МихайлоСвєчкін]

Wow! You have an astonishing nature there in Scotland!

[@therobot7254]

I've been to the top of Ben Nevis 25 years ago when I was like 15 or something (hiking). Would be so cool to ride my bike there! Great video guys!

[@Mark_Tishman]

Blake on 29 xc bike - someone pulled him out from his comfort zone.

Great ride guys. Very much enjoyed watching it!

Tells us how much ascent and how many miles.... Looks epic....!

How many times does Blake say ‘EPIC’ anyone counted?

[@harleywalters5877]

More of these and longer guys.... these are awesome. More road trip ones like your last one too.

[@rintopapimelo]

Too short video 😭

[@edward1591]

Did the poor old cameraman have to carry his E-MTB (seen@4.34) up those trails?

[@fuckinellitsraymo]

Carn Dearg pronounced "Jerrag" That not an epic riding route that way, in fact it's pretty shite. Oh and it's a lochan not a bloody lake

[@user-zo3ij1fz4x]

Thanks to the cameraman as well. I think they don't get the attention they deserve.

[@swissguy101]

you guys should do this on a 26er

[@CNERail]

"there's a lake up there" Not in Scotland there isn't

[@jamiehay1027]

Jordan Jack There is one lake

[@kiltymacbagpipe]

This video would have been twice or three times as long.

[@jamesshields4649]

What's the odds you guys have a gpx file of this route? I would literally drive a night to be there for first light and ride this route. Looks awesome!

[@ankitkoch7253]

Your contents are great shout out the whole team 💯💯 .

9:30 - Fisheye lens has got Neil's front wheel looking positively minuscule.

[@sebastienvttiste7233]

I did that trail running, yeah on MTB it must be harsh and not that fun I guess :D

[@Nick-pq6ij]

The Epic rides should be 60 minute features! Then they'd truly be epic! My favourite GMBN vids are easily the epic rides...

[@DaucatiFifa]

i was watching this video after i got home from work (out all day in the sun doing treework so very tired), and it inspired me to get out on my bike for the first time in a while for an epic ride and i just got back home and turned on my pc to it still paused! thankyou legends

Have you been out on your bike since or was it a one off?
