The super nerds on super bikes are back. This time we’re trying to ride from London to Brighton in just 2 hours! If we pull it off, it’ll set a new record. This 155-year-old route stretches 55 miles, starting from the capital’s bustling streets and ending at England’s southern coast in Brighton. Will we make it?

What did you think of this ride? 💭 Would you participate in a race like this? 🚴♂️💨 If so, would you try to stick in the front and aim for speed or performance, or hang back, enjoy the party and have fun?
Was wondering why the nerds officially DNFed, the shortcut 😀
Brilliant! Awesome guys!! 👍👍 Well done!!
How desperate are VW getting to sell those expensive electric turds that nobody wants?!
"ain't got time to feed"
Great vibe
Nice job guys! I’d love to see y’all do hotter n hell 2025! Would be great to meet you guys in person
I'm gonna need that "Ain't Got Time to Feed" banger for my riding playlist
I've bonked already….HAAANK! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Downhill ride to the coast, train back?
Omg… I walked past you guys and missed an opportunity to fangirl at 15:57 cause the VW lady just ahead was dangling free T-shirts 😂 (https://youtube.com/shorts/KVfpU0GLsZc?si=k3PfGW1VFVC6bS28) Great video from GCN as usual and such a fun event!
Keep this series coming!
Highlight for me, Alex's face at 8:34
Best GCN video in a while! Hella love this!
“Wallys” from Hank at start line. How many takes to get the polite edit 🤣🤣
Absolutely awesome!
Nice job! Seeing Si in his replica Mathieu van der Poel aero position on the hoods is fun to watch.
'Ain't got time to feed' – GCN remix! Banger
kmh? We are in Britain. Use mph
I love the bikes, not so keen on the long socks though!
feel like a "goose" pushing my "ducklings"????
STOP pushing this electric woke crap onto cyclists! Petrol over electric vehicle crap all day long
I Wondered why Simon Got a haircut 💈
Aero Dynamics 😁
Every time I've done the ride the stewards were always shouting "It's not a race" at me. And I wasn't even racing.
I’m excited for the release of the new single Ain’t got time to feed!
have you scratched your new car already. front left door
It’s like 3 old ex pros who can’t give up and will collect every pot they can 🏆
Stuart laugh at 6 minutes was absolutely contagious
OMG what elevation. Try above 5200 ft !
The old pros drop Ollie again. Gotta keep a man humble.
Awesome race,the team should have done the race on Vintage steel road bikes.🤔💯👍🏻✌🏻
Fellas, this is peak GCN. Smiles all around and stoke for the sport. Well done!
I really need to learn to ride in a chain gang.
Saw a coffee place and went backwards? YES
Two hours elapsed or riding time?
Where’s Manon gone ?😢😢
Back in the 2010s, I remember being disappointed if I wasn't scarfing croissants on the beach by 9am! Great vid – as usual – gents!
I do love Conor. "Hank you're in the B team".
I'm watching the video and all I can think is that I would have liked to ride with you. You are legends!
How the hell did Connor ride in the pro peloton. Bonking 10k in?
Why did they keep stopping in the beginning? I don't get it.
Siborg putting Ollie back in his place
I want to be on Conners team. My kind of ride.
traffic lamp the average speed killer
Best part of the video is Hank's hair!
Car sponsor?? Yikes
Great team effort! Big fan of B team. When will you do the Texas MS150?
If its not on Strava did it even happen?!
And while watching… I'm convincing my mother to get on Strava, with her new cruiser bike that she got today! She has to record the rides so I can cheer her from across the continent 😀
Where can I buy the 'aint got time to feed' track. Need this in my tracklist
