CAN THIS REALLY BE DONE? ATTEMPTING TO RIDE ALL 100 MILES OF THE SOUTH DOWNS WAY ON MY E BIKE - EP1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- It was only meant as a joke, to try and ride the 100 mile long South Downs Way on my Vitus E-Sommet in just one day.
With the help of a modest 5 Shimano EP8 batteries, I set out to try and conquer the famous ridgeway from Winchester to Eastbourne.
Watch as I try to ramble my way through 100 miles of some of the UK's most scenic countryside, providing both education (in the form of my vast history knowledge) and entertainment to the masses.
Enjoy,
Rob

Never has talking sh@t come so naturally to one man while he traverses the rolling hills of merry England. Legend. 🤙🏼
Full time comedian, part time winner.
@@Metal-Possum lmao
It’s fascinating to hear the Warner internal dialogue vocalised. This could be a psychological research paper.
" The Hubble telescope over there " . Yep, thats what it is Rob.
I've watched a few of these and by far you are the most hilarious. Love your commentary.
We took a more leisurely approach and stopped at about 25 miles for lunch, 50 for a pub dinner and a kip. A slap up breakfast the following morning, ice creams for lunch and a chip supper in Eastbourne.
Fab ride indeed, though not one I would look to do as fast as you but you are indeed a super athlete 👍🏻
Done it. It’s savage eh! 3 years in a row too! Mint sauce country
Rob it is so far from a boring you tube video , it’s so bloody funny , loving your countryside knowledge .
‘Don’t know if this will be a very good UA-cam’ proceeds to make one of the most funny and best videos of mountain biking ever 😂😂😂
"My legs are burning already, are yours?"
""... uh, no"
Loving these videos so much
Excellent video. Really sells the Vitus ebike well. Lovely journey and very interesting and funny commentary. Not enough videos like this if you ask me.
thanks for mentioning the sharpies again.. every time I tell my other half that you've mentioned my joke on a video a look of pure admiration passes briefly across her face
‘Rob to some cows ‘Are you off to get milked you lucky bastards?!’ Rob teaches Countryfile how it’s done 😂
the only person I know who could make watching paint dry interesting
Thanks :)
brilliant stuff boys, looking forward to part deux
I’ve done that ride and I love the way you make the ‘experience’ so entertaining. Lol. Great video.
"You off to get milked, ya lucky bastards!" 🤣
The Phil Collins gag was underrated!🤣
it's the walk off after he says it that gets me hahaha
Imagine being Rob Warner’s “handler”..... what a job
Every call is like a box of chocolates...
He'd be in therapy half the time I reckon....ahhahaa
i love it now i know where to put my watch in the winter 👍
One of my favourite videos so far!
You are the funniest guy on the internet 😂
Is part of the challenge that Rob narrates the whole 100 miles? 🤣 legend!
Ridding straight through my home stomping grounds
You rode right over the top of some fun downhill trails of ours dude ..
I often ride up to the South Downs trails via the rail line to the downs over to head down and QE shred the trails There back again 🤘🏻usually a 75k day on the hardtail ...
Cracking vid rob keep making them !
“I love sheep” admitted no man ever 😂🤣😂
Obviously never been to Wales there are more sheep than people
@@ioandavies6343 yeah never knew Rob was welsh..
Now we know why you can't find a Shimano Battery in the UK lol
No lie, that was the most arduous video to endure on YT. 😂😂 What with Rob babbling about how sore his backside was getting and the decline of his battery hahahaaaa....yet I persevered! 🤣🤣
I would love to bump into Rob on a ride 😂 only Rob could make this Video funny.
Did it over two days on an analogue trail bike and that was tough enough!
I wish my days of work looks like this too :')
😂😂😂 love it Rob
Already been achieved... One man one battery...... And by another Rob
Brilliant Rob🇬🇧
I thought I heard his voice here in Fareham. I thought it was the carrier's in Portsmouth harbour testing their fog horns !
rossi does this 😆
Love these type of videos. I have an idea for ya, what about a ride in Scotland with over night camping or something! That would be some craic
Awesome stuff! Never has half an hour gone so quickly! When’s the next episode?
The cliffhanger it ends on level with any movie I've never seen
“This is Factory”. New RW quote.
history channel need to give rob his own show.
2 days later and rumour is, he's still stuck on Amberley Mount!😂
Good luck Rob. Done this a few times now. I attempted the double last year but I crumbled😂
Great stuff. They'll always be a Warner, and Warner shall be free.
This imght be my new favourite youtube channel, Warner talking shit while exploring and eating.
and the eggs... don't forget the eggs!
@@robwarner9700 I'm planning a big ride for the morning just put a few to boil
Brilliant top man
Can’t wait until the next episode!! More gripping than Murder She Wrote
I’ve also heard that Elon Musk is after Rob to head up the Space X development team with an offer of maybe finding a civilisation on another planet where all the aliens have purple beards 🤔
The Phil Collins comment did it....100%. Brilliant!!!!
Rob your the man. Funniest due alive.
Hey WTF MAN you can't leave us hanging like this. Its gonna be like waiting for the next installment of game of thrones! C'mon maaaan
Good effort mate!
Legend!!!!
Loved it! Please, not a week between episodes!!
I did 73 miles on my eBike the other day. On eco you can go *missions* looking forward to this 🍿
Blimey you d'narff talk bollox... But bloody highly entertaining! 👍🏻🤪
LOVE IT....KING ALFRED’S WAY NEXT THEN🤘🏻
Yeah done it on a normal bike, took 13hrs.
The views at 4am as the sun rises are what I hope dying will be like.
"you off to get milked, you lucky bastards" hahahaha!
I live in Winchester dude. Would have cracked me up meeting the Warner up some dark track. 😂
I would visit England again if Rob would be my tour guide. lol
Are you talking about Ridgehill race Syndicate?? Factory race team.
Most amusing! Looking forward to the rest of ‘the most boring YT vid ever’ hahahaha
Has to be said that there is an art to making something like a mundane and pretty uneventful ride entertaining 🤟😎
Well he does get paid to fill in the gaps when they only cover half a world cup track in cameras
I enjoyed that!!
Be covert haha. Big six foot mountain biker with a purple beard running across a field. Quality viewing, and actually thought about getting the bike out.
Do it!
I love this guy
Right, that was brilliant. Hurry up and upload the rest, and the finish that fncking bike build. Then get up to Inners and relive your golden era downhill runs.
Savage, did it in 2.5 dyas, though tbh the ammount of crap I carried, may as well have had an e-bike with a flat battery.
Find a 96-99 atx 1 with original boxxer pro’s to do a video on Rob, first bike I ever saw you riding.
Nice jacket(s)👌
Soooo uneventful in places mate.... but you make it worth a watch. Pimbobikepark.
Those leopard print shorts are impossible to find these days. Rob can you have a word with Troy Lee?
I laughed so hard about the chamois cream!!
Did 24 miles down a canal on a normal bike absolutely knackered no idea how you did this even with an electric bike
This is like the majority of my riding for the last year. Bought an ebike to go all my favourite Welsh trails and then they shut us out of the whole country so ended up doing ridiculous miles on roads and flat cycle paths. Still better than not riding though.
"Lovely hound!" - pmsl
Care in the community in action.
I did this on Wednesday on my levo sl 2 on a single charge, turning assistance off and just using eco on v low setting.
Not sure if it's been done before?
Choc di G's Rob . My go to biscuit.
Loved this.....the general knowledge is the most useless but still I loved it haha "bye bradley"
I need those shorts!
‘You off to get Milked, you lucky bastards, 😂, you wouldn’t get Chris Packham saying that!
you keep saying its the most boring youtube video ever made...yet, it's something about those shorts flicking into shot that's keeping me tuned in.
"I'm known as one of the best doggers around" 🤣
I slammed into the hedge at 12:12 on a bike loaded with camping gear.
Good times!
Make Tommy Searle ride a mountain bike with you, then ride motocross with him, would be very entertaining
Hi
My mate Did it in 10hrs on hard tail....so not that difficult! 😁
the absolute shit Rob and the camera man talk to each other is brilliant
Was there ever an episode 2?
Any chance of one of them batteries Rob? Had to get the train back a few times 😂
Completed mate...
Good old Winchester
Why do people use Premiere instead of schedule when releasing youtube videos?
The point seems to be the live chat function and to push user engagement.
Would that be the Hubble space telescope?
Once you've used the batteries once they're officially worthless Rob, so I'll take one off your hands to "dispose" of safely for ya!
This is fucking great! So funny🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Anyone betting he doesn’t make it?
9 am ish start... lots of 40 min breaks over an hour just for changing his batteries i reckon. 12 mph tops he’ll be lucky todo the riding sub 12 hrs.
I’m going for a bail about 15 miles from the end.at midnight.
Bail to the pub. His arse will give in first I bet
Watch a self proclaimer sheep lover ( 16:30 ) ride through mediocre countryside and jealously daydreaming about "getting milked" - this is quality timewasting at work right here - well done Rob.
Never did I think that watching the most boring video on UA-cam could be so entertaining!!
Also Rob if your looking for a challenge how do you fancy ebike verses bike and dog ?? Let me know if you want more info 😎👍
check out the Leadville 100 rob! 100 mile ultramarathon that goes over a 14er
Got to love a dogger 😂
what and how did you find this cycle route would love to try it
On an e-bike, of course you can!
Eggcellent is there more ?
