We Tried To Drink 10 Coffees On One Ride & This Is What Happened!

[@gcn]

How often do you stop for a coffee on your rides?

[@gudjoki9020]

Every take a cycle i drink cofee and smoking. Hehehe. At 50km the first, and after finish.

[@bikesandlaces]

Usually riding only once but that's because my current rides are just to get coffee #imtheteamrunner

[@alinapopescu872]

Never. I have my usual mug in the morning, and another small one post-ride if I feel the need.

[@TerryWaitesRadiator]

I love coffee but cannot drink it on rides. End up with a bad stomach and massive headache if I have caffeine and exercise. Can happily stop for a pint or two however

[@FekalKilla]

actually never, cause, you know, corn was already harvested...

[@katiel7166]

Ollie's secret weapon is a PhD. You either build up a massive tolerance to caffeine or you drop out before your thesis is done, there's no other options.

[@chrisridesbicycles]

That‘s exactly what I thought.

[@Anatedu861]

was about to post that. He's just a different kind of freak

[@Shellewell]

I've managed PhD without coffee, but it probably isn't advisable.

[@briancarter8694]

This is true, caffeine tolerance should be at least 3 credit hours per semester in grad school.

[@lincolnlu9869]

Currently finishing my PhD without caffeine. But I have become more of an alcoholic. So not sure if the trade off is worth it.

[@katiel7166]

"Do we get cake every time we stop?" You're a man after my own heart, Hank.

[@nialltracey2599]

He's a man after his own heart attack.

[@岩男沢山]

"Would it help?" "Yes!"

[@Aeronwor]

After all the atempts on Hanks life, I didn't think the one to get closest would be a simple cafe ride.

[@goodcompanycoffee]

Banter is so good. Keep these group rides going please! I’m dying at Connor’s appetite at each cafe and treating it like a food run 😂

[@gcn]

Nothing beats a group ride with mates!

[@thixie]

Next trip is with 10 beers?

[@acl__live]

sounds illegal.... let do it

[@thecat4315]

Yes! That we need to see, a pub crawl

[@greylynnjr]

Do it all the time

[@redsquarejay]

Beer and coffee

[@mikearmstrong1796]

Bitch, I start on 10. 😂 Guinness fuelled

[@JollyGiant0]

Funniest video in along time. Si's lip with a hole in at the end was hysterical, Connor's 6,000 Cal and Hank's overdose made it great entertainment. Oh and Oli dropping everyone, priceless!!

[@gcn]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@douglaspate9314]

Definitely!!

[@dapidizme]

Love these group ride videos. More please!

[@jakobgib]

[@kaif_ff2283]

Absolutely

[@oliviant2235]

Completely agreed

[@2.old4this]

Where was Manon? Given up looking for Sir Dan!

[@shadowmancer211]

I bet Dr. Ollie has built up his caffeine tolerance while doing the PhD. Speaking from own experience 😁

[@jimbrittain2617]

Absolutely loved this! The blending of individual commentary and collective discussions throughout the group ride was really fun. Hope there are more of these in the works. Great video.

[@outtrigger]

i love the standard 2-presenter format but I absolutely adore when they even more presenters

[@gcn]

Noted! Watch this space 👀

[@JacobDalby]

This has got to be my favorite video in a long time - very down to earth and just the vibe of mates out for a ride pacing each other!

[@gcn]

Nothing better than a ride with mates! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@aHIGHasian]

To do a comparison episode. They should go to 10 coffeeshops in Amsterdam.

[@KarlosEPM]

Haha! Good one. Oddly enough, caffeine is considered the weakest psychedelic drug... if you've ever drank enough you'll know.

[@manitolas]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@nk-dw2hm]

@@KarlosEPM it's far from the weakest, and one of the more addictive legal drugs

[@wendylee8755]

You guys are killing it with content! This was a fantastic piece of work, and I just don't get tired of seeing how much you guys all just seem to genuinely enjoy riding and hanging out together!

[@238949]

Best GCN video for ages, brilliant to see a group ride, just mates having a laugh and doing silly things, Ollie, leaving all behind him and besting everyone in the amount of caffeine consumed, he's so strong now. Finale of Si dribbling hot chocolate into his lap, hilarious

[@marosi93]

More videos like this! Looking at group of friends doing silly things is the best.

[@gcn]

Have you seen our budget bikepacking video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/onuypXZ8msyWY5Y

[@nadeem9485]

Honestly, watching you guys is more entertaining than mainstream TV. You have chemistry with each other that makes for compulsive viewing!

[@ScottyCycles]

"I never thought this would be how Hank goes"...more group ride videos like this please!

[@2.old4this]

Hank’s Kryptonite = Penny Farthing & caffeine!

[@mopedvieh]

Ollie's sped up voice during the fifth coffee stop should be used for the upcoming Super Mario movie. Discussion over.

[@ShannonSouthAfrica]

Was it sped up? I wasn't sure....

[@joeshmoe7967]

Manon is not in cycling shape anymore.

[@CameronOgilvie1]

a whoop tie-in with sleep stats for the surrounding days would have been awesome to see how badly your sleep was disrupted the following 2-3 days.

good idea! mine was actually really good! which was part of why i said it didn’t affect me much. interesting!

%100 believe you guys need to do more ensemble rides. Getting so many different personalities in one place made this video very fun to watch.

[@meaganwalsh1]

It’s Ollie’s PhD…you build up a tolerance when completing it. I’m surprised there weren’t more runny bottoms!

And the "Over-acting" award goes to...OMG! A 4 way tie!!! Loved this one!

[@swissride4k]

Hey GCN Team, Thanks for Coming up with another amazing video!

[@Cycle9568]

Probably one of the funniest episodes ever! Thanks for the good laugh and suffering to entertain all of us.

[@jean-luclouis1100]

Kudos to Hank for wearing white trousers after having a “Runny bottom”

[@dominik-nk4xu]

Probably the best GCN video I've seen.

[@jonnythelegs2597]

This is like my morning commute after having been at a dnb rave till 5am, like a compilation of scenes from A Clockwork Orange, Chopper, and Trainspotting.

[@evigvandrare]

It's the coming off the second fourteen hour night shift vibes for me.

[@TheLawyerInLycra]

Ollie’s in the form of his life. Next GCN challenge: a presenter ITT over a rolling 40-50km course on standard road bikes!

[@obikedog]

Poor Hank. I am glad you all stopped and took it seriously. Atrial fibrillation et. al. is no joke. I have heard about caffeine wreaking havoc with the body's thermal regulation and was told early on to save caffeinated gels for the last hour or so of a ride. I had an issue with it this past summer when I stopped for ONE (triple) iced latte on a triple-digit (Farenheit 105), humid day and did feel quite remarkably ill on the way home and for a few hours after the ride.

[@davetomlinson8090]

I took part in the TransAtlanticWay ultra endurance race in 2018. After 2 400km days on a couple of hours sleep in a bivvy. I thought I'd employ a tactic of an espresso (and a red bull) at every service station on route to keep me going through the next day. Think I had around 8 in a 4 hour period and was dizzy, disorientated and probably hallucinating. Had to keep riding till it wore off as I thought I'd not get up again if I stopped... Not big, not clever, never again.

[@nwbudro9210]

I love the scenery on this "adventure" rides. Please do more.

[@mindy_monster]

Great to have the gang back together again. One of my favourite videos from GCN in a while.

[@dygbi]

What a phenomenal video. Some absolute comedy gold in there.

[@238949]

I think I've watched this video once every day since Saturday, I'm sad but addicted, it cheers me up so much. Taken over from my previous favourite "how to make every ride epic" love it

[@Friek555]

GCN's music game is absolutely on point in this one

[@danielakerman8241]

What an awesome video, your end debrief reminded me of debriefs after a night out, it was akin to hangover chats, and no alcohol was taken. Clearly Dr Bridgewood is smashing it on the bike. Glad you all noticed, and Simon commented. Great work, well done.

"Everyone loves a coffee stop" a bold statement, in 30 years of cycling I've never had a coffee stop, if I did I wouldn't be able to get back on the bike.

[@nofascistsonmywatch]

In 52 years of riding I've never stopped for coffee. If I did, getting back on the bike would not be the problem, but stopping every 15 minutes (or less!) after that to pee, on the side of public roads, with cops passing by, most definitely WOULD be. 😉☹

Coffee contains Acrylamide same as smoking, burnt chips and crisps. You be better off picking up apples from trees along your route and throwing the cores into bramble further on.

It isn't that bad once you start doing it... I only got my first race bike in August and just returned from a 240 km ride.
