Riding a road bike from coast to coast in the UK is quite a feat, let alone doing so in one day. Ollie’s had this route in mind for a while, and he’d brought Hank along for the fun. We’ve also teamed up with Wilier and Hunt to provide Ollie and Hank with some fantastic machines for the job!

Where do you sit on the scone debate? Jam or cream first? Does it even matter? Have you ever ridden coast to coast before?
I love your road trip videos. I just wish the videos were longer. This was a great ride with epic scenery of which I would have loved to have seen more. Aside from that there was great commentary and super bikes ………and just for the record its jam first then cream.
This route looked amazing. Is it possible for the route to be posted please
Why in England there's no trees?
Great ride, guys! I can attest to the hills on the east coast. A few weeks ago I did York-Whitby-Scarborough-York. It was my first 200km ride, and the hills on the coast were brutal – glad to see it wasn't just me. But it looks like the west coast ones were even worse. Greetings from Sydney, where I've now returned – I already miss the UK!
Late to the party but rode this today solo. Amazing but super tough. So many hills (34 acknowledged but so many rises) of 10-20% as well as the monsters.
The three final hills out of the Yorkshire moors are brutal at 25% – lots of swearing to get up.
Strongly recommend but also recommend a friend or two for the ride unless you like eating the darkness alone 😅
Me and 3 friends did this route just the other day, aged 14/15 we set ourselves the task to complete it in 2 days, and we managed! . But instead of sun and heat it was raining for alot of it, hardknott pass was an absolute killer. The relief we felt when we could see the sea. One of the best rides we've ever done and we all enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you for the route and inspiring us to do it!
This video is still a favorite. We need some more like it!
Cream then jam.
Oli's accent actually went proper Yorkshire when he got to those Yorkshire dry stone walls and green rolling hills. Ayup Oli!
Quality ride!! What's the tune at 18.51?
what are those weird utensils?
Love a chippy tea! Great video, love all your stuff. Done the Way of the Roses coast to coast but looking at another route as they are all so good!
Not quite "on time", but kind of trip I'd be happy to take with you guys! Great one!
Is this a 2018 model?
is this watt a chippy tea is?!? Blimey!

Has anyone looked into the logistics of doing this without a support car?
Just great! I came back from a ride and I'm pumped for the next one. Your videos are not only informative, they are truly inspiring. Thank you.
Very happy with. Worked as well as i expected
Did Whitehaven to Sunderland C2C think this is a must, however Murphy will insist he comes along and dog trailers are quite heavy.
I am a huge fan of GCN and the impossible challenges you seem to complete. Truly an inspiration. Well done guys👏👏
Cream and then jam definitely
Cream and then jam
This was so fantastic! Can't wait to do this ride. The reveal of the ocean at the end was beautiful – kudos to your incredible film crew 🤩 You're all inspiring and lovely 💛
A chippy tea always makes it a great day! 😂 Top video and also doing this route in a few days! Over two days though 🤪
