Today we're welcoming Owen officially to our presenter team, and what better way to do that than going on a bike-packing trip with none other than Blake Samson. Blake and Owen aim to go on a local ride over two days to show you how great it can be to explore your local area. The goal is to bike from Bradford-On-Avon to Stone Henge and back stopping at some points of interest on the way, with the chance of meeting otherworldly beings.

I hate bike packing, fun to watch video but I hate carrying all that junk! Edit: that's not really bike packing that's Holiday Inn tripping 😂

Leave your bikes unlocked outside the pub while you go inside for lunch and they are still there when you get back, amazing!

Yeah i do it all the time around here in Wiltshire, not much danger at a quiet village pub of it getting stolen.

Love it! Owen on a bike! He reminds me of my riding buddy...always goes on,on,on and on talking. Maybe now him and Ollie from GCN together? Oh thats 2 MUCH!! LOL

@LaurentiusTriarius Ай бұрын

Owen is the James May of GMBN.

@deadcandisco5974 Ай бұрын

That was brilliant!. More like this please. Maybe a GMBN Tech video on the kit required to go bike packing on a mountain bike. Maybe something that would cover bigger loads if you wanted to camp out vs hotel stays. I want to go bike packing, but I don't want to buy a touring bike, or a gravel bike to do it. You rarely see videos about bike packing on a MTB. PS: More of Owen riding bikes! Such a great guy.

@junka1975 Ай бұрын

Owen's Oddities, we need more of those in biking adventures. Just make sure he has more tea and snacks to stop the bonk. Blake as always, just a fun loving bloke doing fun loving things.

@0T13 Ай бұрын

Great content. Was getting a bit burnt out of your regular stuff.

@ZOB4 Ай бұрын

Nice video, Owen is great and an excellent addition to the team. Thanks for doing this adventure on bicycles, by the way. Something I shouldn't have to say, but since this channel has recently been turning in to a second EMBN channel, I appreciate that you didn't use motorcycles for this adventure.

@garethhewett6291 Ай бұрын

More of Owen’s Oddities please. These two are hilarious together 😂

Man, what a dream! It would be so awesome to ride with Owen and learn about the history of everything there. Thank you for making this video! Oh, just one little disappointment ... Blake isn't riding the crab.

@JamesMkII Ай бұрын

I always assumed Owen was on Tech because nobody had managed to make a helmet strong enough to contain his luscious locks.

@JamesMkII Ай бұрын

As a side note, Owen’s Luscious Locks could be the name of a new video series where he rides the canals of Britain.

@komoonkh Ай бұрын

Or it might be a video about bike locks. You know, some luscious ones.

@erich8258 Ай бұрын

This was great, as was the recent Traws Eryri video. More like these please! They remind me of the videos that got me hooked on GMBN and GCN in the first place.

Was Owen allowed to pull his bike out of that puddle? "On no account should any object be moved or touched. IT MAY EXPLODE."

@JeffMTBinVA Ай бұрын

That was awesome. You guys have so many great riding options there. Owen should do a historical video on how the UK bought into making all these biking opportunities.

@andymicklewright3993 Ай бұрын

Great video, for me mountain biking is also about touring, bike parks are great but touring is just amazing for stopping off at pubs or finding hidden single tracks. Still so much better than being a roadie!

I used to live in Salisbury. Nice to see shots of my old stomping ground. Another oddity for Owen: the cathedral is home to one of the last original and best preserved copies of the Magna Carta.

I flippin love this. You got two characters completely different. Going on a bike ride and enjoying themselves. The measured in wrinkles comment got me laughing! I also think blake should have a side hussle. "A day on the bike with blake" do tours.. id pay a ton of money to have blake as a tourguide for a day! 😂

With all his information, Owen would be a great guide too.
