By far, the 400km Nakdong River bike ride stretches from Andong City to Busan City, South Korea which it tooked me 3 days. But I’ll be taking the 700+km South Korea East Coast Bike Trail from Goseong (DMZ | Boundary Line from South to North Korea) all the way to Busan and hoping to complete it in 5 days (long weekend holiday) 🚵♂️🏞️🔥
Round Beinn A'Ghlo in the Cairngorms 33 miles off road 4500 feet of climbing 28 degrees c all day .landrover or single track all the way .took us 10 hours and I was only 70 then.a day to remember.
Hey Rich, I was in the Marine Corps for a spell. I was sick and did a double murph after coming back from leave and getting ready for a training cycle. I wound up having pretty bad rhabdo after the workout. It wound up haunting me for the rest of my career because of how badly it sidelined me. I recovered physically but it's something that mentally really messed me up for a few years. Major props to you for working through it, and being able to come to my home in Arizona to crush the race again.
Awesome stuff, Rich!!! This is what I'm trying to teach my kids. You fall, you stand up... you check your losses... you learn from the experience... and you definitely come back to accomplish the thing!!! Great video, great ride, great spirit. And.... 1. See 2. You 3. Next 4. Time 5. .... ...
Great to hear the awesome feedback Max, Rich is such a "there are no loses, only lessons learnt" character, it really is something that translates to everyday life, not just on the bike!
I get knocked down but if get up again, you’re never going to keep me down….. or something old that. Happy to have helped Amy way I can dude and I always try and look at things as glass half full 👊
I'm 40 years young, and this year I have start racing marathon races. I can tell you this video is great motivation and awesome energy! Congratulations Rich for finishing this monstrous race 🤘
Awesome to hear that you have started racing marathon races. Were you always into the painfull stuff or has your riding been quite varied over the years?
Genuinely one of the most inspiring videos I have seen in a long time. I have never wanted to run marathons or even really try XC but having gotten into mtn biking in the past couple years and following your now third 24 hour race it’s made me want to set this kind of goal. Also. That look of sincerely deep satisfaction at the end of the interview was pretty cool too
Thanks for coming back to the desert and having a smashing race! Well-paced, great support...glad your better-half Aimee came along...and exacting revenge on last year's ride! Loved the production too! Wish you and the GMBN crew could have a corporate team here next year! Blake, Neil, and even Martyn on the random tandem for some laps! It would be a party for sure!
Really impressed with the production on this video. Obviously Rich did a great job, but shout-out to the crew on the editing and shooting, it's head and shoulders above the usual videos.
Glad to see GMBN presenters have enough cojones to come back for redemption, too bad we can't say the same about other presenters who talked about redemption but never returned to the Unbound XL.
loved this Vid, so interesting see all the stages you go through and the amazing support of your partner and team. Well done Rich def one to look back on in years to come
Rich man, you crack me up. Love your bants and the videos you put out for GMBN. Also... your Mrs... What a woman, What a team player, You lucky pup you!
Congratulations! As an old gmbn viewer and Arizona resident, I was waiting for this video to come out,4 months! I was relieved and gladden ed by your triumph over this grueling challenge with the help of a good woman and proper hydrationand nutritrion, kudos to the nth degree! I feel however, our riding region was not represented by actual fun, as all the great riding is at altitude! Please look at the m/ lemmon drop, helio peak to ladybug on MtGraham, the amazing Sunrise bike park near pinetop........these are the kind of rides to make the heart sing! Dry, high altitude,pine and aspen forest, warm, deep loam, rock sections, amazing native American fry bread at 12,000ft,the best. I say this as an ex xc racer circa '87 to'96, I was at the first norba national at Whister 1987, I feel I know fun,and warmth plays a part. P,ease come again and experience our arizona sky islands. I love the UK, as a Canadian I now at 61,ride in the warm mountains all the time, making gains yes !
Congrats! I had pretty similar stats on chasing cancellara, 310km, 4600m elevation, 9200 kcal burned, and I crossed the line in 13h and was absolutely cooked, let alone 24h.
It's hard to believe there are 110 other people dumb enough, crazy enough, or fit enough, to take on this challenge. Way to go Rich one hell of an achievement
Most races are not fun to actually do . There are maybe some points where endorphins kick in and you feel good but their are not many of them . Many times it's just a forced grind of pain . Where the enjoyment lies is the completion . If you did well within the goals set that increased the satisfaction . I sure enjoy a redemption story and this is a good one
Fantastic, Rich. Well done. Really well done. I did the opposite today. Turned back with my tail between my legs as the group rode away. Thes always tomorrow, I guess.
I’d be interested to know if you had any sort of viral infection prior to your last race? Possible to trigger rhabdo if you’ve had an infection within 6-8 weeks of a big event like that. Or you could have just been unlucky and exercise was enough to trigger it. No failure last time mate, if fate decided to take you out with sickness that’s nothing to do with your fortitude. (In fact if you think you’re genuinely sick in a long distance race the safest thing to do is run away to fight another day). Hope you enjoyed your redemption though 👌
He was doing a lot of exercise before the last one Gavin. With the back-to-back 24h races, a lot of traveling, and working a full-time job, and regular home-life commitments, it added up!
What is the longest ride you've ever done? Let us know in the chat 👇

Well done, Rich! That was an incredible effort! Congratulations on finishing strong and positive! Great video insight into an amazing endurance race.

Hey! Sorry to hear you went through that, glad to hear you recovered from it. Rich crushed it this time round 👏
well done Rich, we need a video about what the presenters partners have to put up with when they other halfs are doing these big events.
Crikey she’d have some stories from back in the day travelling around to all the EWS races in a camper that’s for sure lol
@@Richard_Payne_GMBN i was a subscriber when you had your channel for the EWS races you did, missed them after you stopped.
outstanding to see you not only complete the old pueblo but finish in style this year Rich
Rich absolutely smashed it 🎉
This was awesome rich , congratulations on coming back and finishing what you started!!🤙
awesome isn't it, we are all proud of the achievement! GO RICH! 💪
Awesome stuff, Rich!!! This is what I'm trying to teach my kids. You fall, you stand up... you check your losses... you learn from the experience... and you definitely come back to accomplish the thing!!! Great video, great ride, great spirit. And....

Learning from the experience is key. That is how you grow as a person.
I'm 40 years young, and this year I have start racing marathon races. I can tell you this video is great motivation and awesome energy!
Congratulations Rich for finishing this monstrous race 🤘
Awesome to hear that you have started racing marathon races. Were you always into the painfull stuff or has your riding been quite varied over the years?
@@gmbn Little bit of both😄
That’s sick, good luck and who knows may see you on a start line soon 👊
Genuinely one of the most inspiring videos I have seen in a long time.

@12:56 that kiss wasn't UCI Road Legal, that's 200 Swiss Francs ;-).
Glad you had fun this time around during the race.
the production quality of this video is amazing!
Seriously best video for a long time and great story. Love the real life. We need more of those and congratulations 😊
Thanks for coming back to the desert and having a smashing race! Well-paced, great support...glad your better-half Aimee came along...and exacting revenge on last year's ride!

Well done Rich, Aimee and the wider team. Great to see you finish properly this year and with a smile on your face too!
Really impressed with the production on this video. Obviously Rich did a great job, but shout-out to the crew on the editing and shooting, it's head and shoulders above the usual videos.
Thanks for the great feedback!
Congrats on the return completion. Well done. Only seems like yesterday I watched your first attempt. Great video guys!!!
Ha ha thanks only seemed like yesterday I did it 😅
A really powerful video, this. Very, very chuffed for you. Massive congratulations on a massively impressive race!
Good job Rich! Always enjoy watching your long rides and challenges. Could do an Everest next 😄
You are a good egg Richard Payne, and you've got the best partner that a Richard Payne could possibly have. Thank you both for sharing your adventure.
Our pleasure mate and I’ll pass on the kind words to Aimee.
I've been waiting for this return. LETS' GO RICH!!!
Congrats Rich! The best video gmbn has put out in a long time. Well done team.
Outstanding video best in a long time, more of this please

wicked to see you get your redemption Rich great job. 13th wasn't unlucky for you then!

well done👍👍👍
Loved this video, I was hoping you'd be back. You had unfinished business. (I find it ironic that your number plate said "Peeblood" on it)
Redeemed! Awesome work Rich! Any idea how many calories you consumed?
Thanks dude, around 9400
Go Team Peeblood! 😄
🤣🤣🤣

Ha ha I’ve got shares in factor 50 sun cream now 😅
I am planning to ride a 24h race soon, this both motivated and scared me.
Well done Rich.
Yeah Rich !!!

Well done! Hope to see GMBN come and try out the untamed African races...#FreedomChallenge#36One#Munga#CapeEpic
I would love to know the fueling strategy to complete something like this
