so mark basically - 1. dropped james and left him without inner tubes 2. started having a beer anyway, without keeping one handy for james (literally zero extra effort) 3. continued sitting & sipping as pablo gave up his beer and got another one for james i see a new top 10 ways to not be a dick coming up.... :P

I concurr with the others saying this video felt too rushed, maybe out of time constraints. The sheer endlessness and tranquility of the patagonian wilderness was a little bit missing. I get that it is essentially a promo video for the bikes, but maybe do a second video more focused on the experience itself

Been deep diving on GCN lately when not indulging in the "pain cave" and sneaking out on rides when the early spring weather allows here. I'm thoroughly enjoying Mark Beaumont's contributions. Love this Patagonia adventure - its been on my list for awahile now. It would be great to add this to the area around Bariloche to Puerto Mont a little further south as well. Just finished watching his Ultra Endurance Tips on his recent ride with Simon on the North Coast 500. Having recently completed a Trans Continental myself whereby I rode over 11,000km on 4 separate tours (1991, 1992, 2015, 2018) self supported meandering across Canada (on the same Scott Santa Cruz BTW), I was fascinated to agree and recognize many strategies I employed but also picked up a few new ones for my next grand tour once the madness of this virus passes. Thanks for that! I want to make a suggestion if it hasn't already been done. I think we need to add something to the cycling lexicon. A "Beaumont" (noun) - the name given to riding a distance of 240 miles in a day; akin to a "Century" (100 miles). A "proper Beaumont" is completing it in a period of 16 hours akin to his around the world schedule. A "half Beaumont" constitutes 120 miles. You can also make this into a verb where you can apply it to anything in cycling that is initially kinda of fun and then figuring out the most impossible challenge with it ie Hour Record on a Penny Farthing. Example : He/She is really "Beaumonting that right now. After a few too many glasses of wine recently I decided - out loud - to commit to do my first "Beaumont" this summer. Let the masochism begin...

It included 7 miles of hiking through the Utah Desert, camping in Capitol Reef National Park, watching Red Bull Rampage with friends, and endless buffet’s from Mesquite to Las Vegas. This year, Tripple crown attempt of the Trans Am Bike Race again.
