Күн бұрын200 miles, or a double century, may seem like a daunting prospect for a single day's cycling, but it is more accessible than you might think. Conor and Ollie have teamed up with Vitus to prove that its not only possible, but a very achievable goal for anyone!

Actually I just came back from my first multi day cycling event with 150 riders (4 days, 420 miles / 650km) I thought I wouldnt make it. Day 3 was the longest one, and the most hilly one by far! (I never had to use the easiest gear ever before). But I made all of it! And I'm proud :) This was my first long distance experience ever. Now with this experience, I'm confident that I can go even harder! I'm now going to make a 200k route this friday. Goal is 25 km/h in average (it's quite flat. only 800m in hight) I can do 31 km/h on a 60k - so lets see. Everything is planned out already. I'm very exited! Wish me luck. PS: I bring 110kg (230lbs) to the scale - no excuses, guys. (When I started cycling in march, it was 125 kg (265lbs).

Did my 1st 200 mile ride this past June 21st SOLO. Was an awesome time besides bonking between miles 145-180. That was a very dark time but kept my nose the the grindstone and finished. I’m only 4 years into cycling so if I can do it anyone can, just got to want it.

200 miles solo, that's impressive! It's easy to forget how you constantly have to fight yourself to keep pushing yourself forward, especially solo. But once you conquered yourself, the feeling is so satisfying you're instantly looking for the next challenge. Well done!
@petesmith1924 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah nice! I did my first 200 solo a few years back then did a 250 (400km) solo last year, then another this year. This year was 125 miles into a headwind, then 50 miles of saw tooth Welsh/ Shropshire Hills - hardest 50 miles I've ever done on a bike. Still another 75 to go at that point, and I punctured in the pitch black with 15 miles to go! I think that's what they call character building!!! Brutal, but so memorable. gonna try for a triple century next June...

@Advanced Driving A few years ago, while visiting out grand kiddies in Amsterdam, I borrowed my son in law's e-bike to ride from Amsterdam to Apeldoorn to watch the start of the Giro. 175km on a 22kg e-bike that had enough battery for around 50-60km. Fortunately, it was pretty flat, with only 400m of climbing over the 175km, but it was still pretty tough on such a heavy bike with limited battery. It was a long day, especially given the 3-4 hour break in Apeldoorn to watch the opening TT for the Giro. Would've been nice to charge the battery at Apeldoorn, but I'm not a very bold Aussie traveler, so didn't attempt to try that.

Everesting, hour record, Tour des Stations, the man is strong physically and mentally

That's just a meme bro. The only times he get's dropped is when cycling against retired pros. That's basically like boxing against Hulk. Just watch the "How long can you hold world record pace" video where the guy puts down 400 watts without coasts/rest on a trainer bike for an hour and walks off like it was nothing.

I road my first double century on my 63rd birthday last year. I'm thankful for podcasts and anti-inflammatories. The first 150 was pretty non eventful. The last 50, my knees were screaming at me. It was some of the worst pain I've ever experienced. I was 99% sure that it wasn't anything other than pain from overuse. Healed up in 4-5 days. Very glad that I did it; however, it's back to centuries for me. Once was enough.

I did the Norfolk 200 miler, done it 3 times now. My best ride time was 11hrs 23mins. Not bad at 61 🚴♂️😁

Classic film. Epic ride. Great to see the GCN guys slumming it in an audax hotel (bus shelter). Got my first 300km ride coming up in November so I’ll be channelling my inner Ollie and Conor as I plough on through the dark.

Is “Audax Hotel” the name of a New Wave Synth-pop trio, from 1981?

Epic ride guys. Interesting to hear how much extra time is involved with all the "piece to camera" sections to get enough footage for a ride like this.

Well done guys! I did something similar which is called "chase the sun" its a 217miles ride from isle of Sheppey to Burnham on sea (south to west England). So literally chasing the sun from sunrise to sunset and I did it in 17 hours and just minutes before the sun disappear on the horizon.

Yep! There's a ride in the Seattle WA. area. STP (Seattle To Portland). It turns out to be around 204 miles. You can do it in one day, or two. A lot of people do it in one day. It's a blast!

Drafting Conor who is drafting the photo vehicle is probably pretty chill. 200 miles is much easier when you have a dedicated support vehicle.

Really enjoyed watching. Inspired by Ollie's continual improvement as I'm the one who always gets dropped. Ollie, this Seattlite thanks you for the shout out to Washington state! You can visit the graves of both Jimi Hendrix and Bruce Lee here!

Well done, chaps! Quite vicarious for the rest of us. Can’t stress enough the importance of a steady stream of long-chain well diluted carbs from well before starting such a ride. Ought to try the Pacific-Atlantic Cycling (PAC Tours) “Elite Tour”, a qualifier for the Race Across America (RAAM). If you can do the full tour, averaging 200 miles a day for 14.5 days straight, without taking a rest day, you qualify to enter the race. It’s a fully supported group ride, (if they still do it,) and there was a pack of about a dozen in the lead group cranking it every day back in `98. After setting the pace each day, by day 13 I was spent, but still rolling! Great riders, good times! And now, long ago.

I have done 200 miles over 2 days before. I did find that a challenge. I am inspired to try it over 1 day. I think I need to do Ollie's Tour des Stations training to get ready for it though. Thank you for this video. It looked a lot of fun - and a great route, too.

I managed my first 200miler this year at the Solvang Double Century and couldn’t be more pleased. Definitely an addictive format for the ultra-minded cyclist. California has a series called the Triple Crown. It involves 3 doubles in a single year. Sounds like Ollies next challenge , yeah? Lol

We've got a whole series of these here: the California Triple Crown. They tend to be challenging rides in stunning locales since one needs a lot of open space to get the distance done. You even earn a jersey if you do enough of them in a year: did six and earned mine. Glad to boys had fun!
