The Man Who Cycled The Americas Ep3

[@bergbarge2011]

Mark Mark Mark - I cried with you at the end of your journey in Patagonia. What an accomplishment and life experience!!!!!

[@wentale]

I love the comment at the end "this feels perfect"....an inspiration to all to reach out and prepare to fulfill your dreams. I know BBC funding must have helped but total respect for Mark's choice of self-filming, solo-travel and sorting out accommodation, repairs and supplies mostly by himself! Have enjoyed following this journey with mark and also the "Cycle the World"....this is what sharing the adventure is all about...inspiring others!

[@garshaw8404]

A highly inspirational display of ambition and fortitude. Congratulations Mark, on all of your achievements including the recent round the world trip in 80 days. All of your endeavours show staggering levels of physical and mental fortitude which can only be admired.

[@ChrisMurrinGuitar]

I've watched this at least 6 times now. It's so inspiring!

[@Ezeebeady]

What an inspirational man! I have only recently got into cycling and came across these videos (I have watched both series). Loved every minute of them! Thank you so much! Whilst I was on the road yesterday my legs were saying I needed to stop.... I just thought of Mark Beaumont and kept going!! My only criticism is the BBC have taken down the web page mentioned at the end! Pity!

[@ewooll]

+Ezeebeady His video inspired me to do a 120 mile journey from Pattaya to Bangkok, made me do something out of my comfort zone. He did it day after day though, which is something entirely different. Mark Beaumont is a super tough and likeable guy.

[@1100HondaCB]

I've started cycling again after 20 years. The worst bit is when my legs start to hurt. As you said, he is an inspiration. It's amazing what you see when on a bicycle.

[@m.jrennie2513]

Thank you for sharing these videos......I remember watching them on tv but it's nice to go back and watch them when I'm having a crappy day. If this hardy bugger can cycle and climb like a targer, then I can get through a shitty day. Yet again I'm in awe of a fellow Scottish person :0)

[@fearnhead94]

No words can describe this guys achievement incredible! Id like to take my own journey one day

[@webbyinjapan]

Simply, incredible achievement. I thoroughly enjoyed these 3 videos. Inspirational young fella!!

[@lromeroyt]

My Dear World Cyclist: You missed the best part of the whole South American trip: Colombia! Therefore...your trip was outstanding but, not complete! I am just kidding I am sorry! I think Colombia is extremely beautiful! It has to be just envy since I would have wanted to accompany you for at least 100 kms! Great videos! keep living! keep enjoying!

[@lloydgilbert2444]

An amazing individual. Loved the two series and looking forward to watching his next challenge. Very inspiring.

[@Ally5325]

This guy is beyond words, how he battles on day after day against the wind, climbing up so many hills and climbing two incredibly tough mountains, he has so much inner strength to just keep going, this deserves way more likes, what an amazing man!

[@michaelevans6374]

What a story! This is the definition of an athlete. If we could all push through life like you pushed through your ride. Kinda makes my 130 mile 1 day ride look easy.

[@lromeroyt]

I think it is a Kona, aluminum frame (it looks too thick) and shocks, with disc brakes, ...I would say this combination is the heaviest, wouldn't you?

[@chrishodgson1968]

What a fantastic series. Loved every bit of it.

[@robgraham6010]

Fantastic achievement - well done Mark

[@petinka721]

Hat off for you Mark! The worlds most fantastic endurance rider!

[@houghtonization]

Last 4minutes are just incredible !

[@FoobsTon]

I just finished reading the book. It's quite a different experience from the doco... It's richer. If you enjoyed this, then I'd recommend the book. Great respect to Mark, he's hard as nails but seems to keep good Grace under pressure. Unique guy.

[@rabenick]

Thanks for uploading. Great video

[@BluW13]

Incredible!!! Thank You.

[@houghtonization]

Whole thing is incredible.

[@716tommo]

fantastic adventure and amazing achievement...well done.....i was going to drive this journey...now may do it on the bike......(just wondering....those 2 weeks in the atacama desert ....what did you do for water supplies? )

[@fededelcampo5167]

What an amazing Adventure... unfortunately he missed some gems, he skipped Colombia (I guess for personal safety as he did with Honduras) but also Ruta 40 in Patagonia (Argentina) & Carretera Austral (Chile) as he went down to Ushuaia through the Atlantic shore (instead of following the Andes) riding Ruta 3 :)

[@Starry_Night_Sky7455]

I bet he loves high tech fabrics. Fast dry, no chafing, warm when you need it, breathable and cool when you need that. Out in the desert one has time to ponder an appreciation of such things.

[@luisvillegas4895]

Yes! COLOMBIA ! sorry for him.

[@maxlabarbera5797]

The guy is incredible. Can't believe he didn't wear a hat riding through the desert??? WTF?

[@jackcbr600]

this was pretty awesome! thanks

[@mcleanization1540]

That drink sounded horrible 😂

[@Starry_Night_Sky7455]

Atacama Desert is a Martian getaway, book now.

[@henkportegies2650]

chapeau

[@dishtailor2182]

how does mark go through those deserts without a hat or something covering his head, the sun would get me in like 30 minutes

[@Stoo61]

It is weird he skipped Columbia, its a pretty big part of the route.

[@chandanagarwal9313]

congrats Mark You have made it You have done it You WON

[@kamikazekunze]

Really? He rode the Rockies but NEVER pedaled the Rockies in Colorado! Lame

[@sebastianb7634]

Lame is your education. The Rockies stretch from Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and and New Mexico on the US side plus Canada. He rode through the Rockies. Maybe time to take your head of of your ass.

[@kamikazekunze]

I know where the Rockies extend too. And it appears he didn't ride all of them since he skipped Colorado. So I short Piss Off!

[@sebastianb7634]

The guy makes an incredible journey from Alaska to Patagonia and some douche complains he did not ride "all of (the Rockies)" LOL

[@kamikazekunze]

Exactly

[@ian-c.01]

Incredible ! Pity about the video quality on this part though, the first 2 weren't as bad as this.

[@DanielSnippyMcD]

Far out steak chunks, camel, whatever, peppers, potatoes, onions, dates, raisins and lashings of sauce and flatbread I say. Busted belly, total content. Couple of thousand calories there, fat, the lot. Would taste amazing, in the pot. What chance of that?

[@destinymann]

Dude, with all of your travelling you should know about eating Yakult yogurt. This stuff has the highest concentration of bacteria of any yogurt made. I visit Mexico a lot and have found that I don't get food poisoning or the GI's when I regularly drink this stuff. I've even drank it after I've gotten sick and found it puts those amoeba's in their place in a couple of hours.

[@cAnthonyL]

Fresh Sand? It's as old as the earth!

[@eddittorr]

yes, thanks for uploading!!

[@lromeroyt]

what bike is this anyhow? what material fame, components or specifics can you tell us about it? thanks!

[@TheAegisClaw]

It's a Koga

[@Ratbas]

Loving this show. Small technical question: was the stabilization in this episode part of the original production or was it added by the uploader?

[@mcleanization1540]

Food poisoning lasts for days, must be dehydration or sun stroke he had

amazing

[@MrMuwahahaa]

Thank you so much

[@9brainechoes9]

there is an error, a big one. How he can down the Aconcagua and arrived to Ushuaia en three minutes? what happened with Carretera Austral? a bicycle touring hightlight in south américa, is one of the most beatiful roads in the world but he cant crossed. Weird.

[@alexflorance1111]

BBC camera man rocks up for 5 minutes and hardly takes and footage😂

[@THINKINGCAPZ369]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Jeremiahparis]

any one know where to find episode 2?

[@rcrxjlb]

Did Mark use the same bike for this & the trip around the world?

[@SkandikFilm]

He used the same type of bike the Koga Traveller, but if it was the one bike he used on his first world trip it must have had a major overhaul. I doubt it though.

[@justanotherfuckingvegan6740]

SkandikFilm I believe it was a Miyata. And it probably was the same frame set atleast. They are made of steel and can last a life time.

[@dudeonyoutube]

Where is part 4?

[@rmm2000]

Before Part 5.

[@tomlofmark8788]

@@rmm2000 after part 3.

[@murnelbabineaux2577]

How can your body adjust to cycling a thousand miles in the desert to freezing your ass off and climbing so high with a backpack full of gear?

[@pepas346]

he skipped Colombia but went through mexico and central america for safety issues? come on , Colombia has passed the old days of drug and safety issues.

[@hannahisabellively6411]

It was not in the route to his destination!

[@pepas346]

well, it was because of that safety issue reason i guess

[@uscg8168]

Isa L It was in the route, because Colombia has the Andes mountains for the full length of the country. He should have taken the ferry to Cartagena and started with the Andes in north Colombia ! Mexico and several central America countries have the worst murder rates in the world! He also avoided one of them by driving. Despite this I love the video and he is a great cyclist.

[@garshaw8404]

My apologies, 78 days!!

[@FEJ1106]

Now did he ration water when he rode threw the attacama desert?

[@surajbk3395]

Thanks for a plodding video.
