For anyone who doesn't understand how difficult this is, find the largest/fastest group you can on Zwift and see how much power it still takes to average 50km/h!
I'm sure there is a downhill somewhere in the Rockies or Alps down which I could ride 10 miles in 20 minutes.
How many GCN presenters does it take to do a 10 mile TT? 😉🙂
very sad Manon left gcn :-(((((((((((((((((((((((((
Need a new route, WITH ollie riding. Give it a few months break though.
3 super nerds on three super bikes – Vätternrundan. One of the world's largest cycle events and the most competitive none race I can think of. 315km around Sweden's second largest lake, on the road with 13000 other people. Come join our 8hr group 🙂
The GCN Id Buzz is a nice addition. ⚡
What a great way to spend 20 min! Really enjoyed this one
More time should have been spent on the distance and elevation graph. The elevation started at 497 m, dropped to 241 m at the bottom of the big descent but then continued to drop as the route went up and over the last hill. Please explain.
Ride behind the gcn team bus with the camera guy on back and don’t show it in the edit 😂. That would get the job done.
The air was to dense on that particular day! 🤓
On to a for a new try!
Super Entertaining. Only reason you should do it again is because I want to see it again and not because you failed at any goal.
Find out who can avarage the least watts for 40kph on a 15k course. Road bikes only
The UCI does not like Si‘s socks and Alex‘ puppy paws.
Are there CX superbikes? That would be fun.
I didn’t know that the VW Van had gone into production. 😮
Why no TT bars ?
Very good avg power, congrats !
Nice to see Si drafting so well like a pro lol
Lets get the supernerds together for a day to see how many of Feathers Koms they can take 💪
You can hear in Alex's voice when he has gone deep, he sounds like his ear and head are blocked with water. Same voice as in the 312 Mallorca challenge, when he was spent.
Great effort.
Anyone else wondering what racist Brian’s favourite dogging spot is 👀
You chose the wrong bikes. At 50km/h, any change in posture significantly reduces your total time. Next time, try TT bikes.
I think you need some super nerd kit for these missions
That is almost 30 MPH. Pretty rapid! Good job kids! 😀
I wouldn't trust Ollie's judgment on hills: having done 18,000m elevation in one go recently, even mount Everest isn't that bad by his scale
Love those socks!
Rather you than me chaps. 10 miles in under 20 mins? That is an absolute slog.
Congratulations lads, 10 miles is still along way to go, hope their was no headwinds, although it has been pretty calm the past few weeks. I do 10 miles to work and say you could come and join me, but i could do without the humiliation, 15 mins off my best time, I am in awe of your achievements.
As for the next challenge, how about a relay race from Land's End – John O'Groats – 972 miles split between 4 or 5 of you. Each start at the same time from different locations, and if one of you fails your section, everyone fails. High risk, High reward. Or you could do Bristol to O'Groats – 743 miles.
Love the series guys keep it up! You can blame Ollie for the route and the no show 😂
Those ‘football’ socks are a blight on the sport.
That background score is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
that was a nice drafting , good job guys
I guess we can't accuse you guys of riding with a tailwind. If there'd been much wind, it would've blown the fog away. Wait! The fog did disappear.
Poor Ollie. Get well soon mate!
Love these videos. Can’t wait for the next one! Si’s brake hoses definitely cost them in this one lol those things were sticking out like sore thumbs lol
Punish Ollie with a bikepacking trip
I really enjoy this series.
Was it the Strava calculation that came up short? Happens to me all the time when Wahoo GPS says perfectly round X distance and I upload and it's 100 m or so less.
3 super nerds on 3 super gravel bikes…
my friends do that every weekend
Great video but I say run it back with Ollie and leave no stone unturned. Full aero bikes, skin suits, shaved legs. I appreciate the attempt but calling out all the things you missed at the attempt almost makes it seem like you didn’t prep. Which obviously isn’t the case considering the logistics of filming this whole thing on open roads. Otherwise keep up the great videos!

I'm afraid you'll have to repeat it with a waxed chain and shaved legs, even if Olli did mess it up 😂
