It’s autumn, so that means it’s time for an epic ride! Si and Alex ride the new Canyon Grail on a brand new coast to coast route, stretching from Clevedon on the Bristol Channel to Bournemouth on England’s south coast, via Lloydy’s pull up bar (yes, Dan makes a cameo!) Battling a raging headwind and the fading evening light, will they make it?

What’s your favourite gravel ride? 🚴
Come to Michigan and do the Coast 2 Coast gravel a 210 mile ride on gravel, dirt, sand, and some pavement. Start at sunrise at Lake Huron attempt to reach Lake Michigan before sunset. Better yet send Connor, we can watch him run out of water then drink straight out of Lake Michigan at the end, it is fresh water afterall.
Someone somewhere saw those 5 seconds of singletrack and screamed 'you should have used a mountain bike!' 🫠
Pull up lmfao 😂😂😂 more like chin ups 😂 and he still did not tell him there chin ups mate not pull up and sed nothing 😂😂😂😂
Wiw. Another Canyun advert. Shoker
….and this is what GCN does best: excellent documentary video lads.
On a ride such as this, why oh why dosen't Si use a bar bag? Bar bags on a long diverse rides hold kit, tools, food, phone – whatever you need – accessible whilst riding as well.
As with most epic GCN rides, I'd love to do this…but at a leisurely, Jack Thurston-esque pace.
So… Noticed that Alex was on a 2by and Si was on the 1by. Did Si ever feel like he was spinning out on the flat and fast sections?
Great ride, right by us. Any chance you would share the route ?
I'm lucky enough to live close to the Fosse Way in Wiltshire, and the Ridgeway is a couple of hours ride away.
Great content. such natural chemistry between Si and Alex. This is product advertising done right – brief intro to the bikes wrapped in a cool adventure with likeable presenters.
Lucky for Dan's son, he got Lorraine's looks.
What are the sunglasses that Si is wearing?
good ride guys & beautiful bikes
If you don't eat fish and chips… It doesn't count.
I'd like to see you take Rich from GMBD on a similar ride on his hard tail cross country
Great route – great bikes – always take lights and surely for a c to c you have to finish with fish and chips and a beer
Gotta love Hengistbury Head and Point. Great place to end what looked to be a fantastic and enjoyable ride.
Fish and Chips of course
Curry???
Another not-so-cleverly-disguised advertising video for a major bike company, with the click bait title of "coast to coast in a day, can we make it". Um, the ride was just over 100 miles, any average cyclist could make it. I'd rather you were just honest and said "here's a video advertisement for Canyon".
Good to see Alex took his bowls with him……
I won't watch another sh!tty excuse for an ad, you used to say see it on the tech show, that's enough, don't push it
You should have called this video „Coast to Coast with a special forest guest“ 😂🙌
Jude did better pull ups than Si and Alex 🤣
@gnc Hi, i'm in search of a gravel bike for performace and travel. I see the new canyon grail cf slx 8 axs and the orbea terra m21e team. The prices are similar but the grail have carbon wheels. is this bikes good for bikepacking and speed? Is the tyre clerance a limit on the grail ? th
Terrain like this ensures that I barely even want to pedal on tarmac any more!
Love these big day out videos, looks like a great ride. was a shame to see one of them possibly drop some rubbish on the road…😔
Dang. Is GCN putting together a race team or something? Si, Alex, Hank and even Ollie have been killing it with these ultra distance rides lately!
Kudos to teh Crew that followed along .
Loved this, and this kind of content. Both presenters were fun, completely real about the ups and downs. Super fun.
would hub gears been faster?
My first thought was the USA coast to coast then I remembered what channel I watching
A longer fork rake does not gi ve you faster cornering mate.. Provides more stability on downhills, you don't want faster cornering
Not a pull up. Those are chin ups. Much easier than pull ups.
