Thanks for the kind words everyone was a heck of a challenge and big up the crew that supported me through it to film/make the vid. Stoked you all like it and here’s to the next trip to the #paynecave 👊
Mate, your narration afterwards looks like it was shot with you convalescing at a sanatorium ala Chief Inspector Dreyfuss in the Pink Panther movies. I hope you are still in tact.
This is why GMBN guys dominate GCN crew in most of their head to head challenges: They got the stuff. Rich has it. Rode for 24 hrs, didn't reach destination, rode some more. Epic.
What impressed me the most is even after all that suffering through rain, cold weather, battered, tired, Rich still finished the journey with a BIG smile on his face.
Rich you absolutely smashed it and well done on pushing through to Swansea! I could never do this sort of ride myself. Also, props to the production team for sticking with you the whole trip. Loved this video.
Strong effort. I've spent time up in brecon and dartmoor in similar conditions with kit and little to no sleep, and the strange thing is the almost Stockholm-like feelings you get. Honking at the time, but then after all's done you realise you actually enjoyed it. Nice work Rich 👌
Rich you are an absolute legend. This is hands down the most inspirational, incredible thing I've ever seen anyone do on a mountain bike. Knowing your love for stats, do you have any for this ride? Total distance, elevation, moving time, calories burned etc?
So proud to be a part of the Commonwealth when I watch this video! Here in Canada people look at me like I'm crazy when they see me fat biking in extreme cold... But I'm not crazy enough to ride with wet shoes without a hat and gloves in Wales in February! You guys are proper crazy canucks! ...and you do it with a smile.
Amazing accomplishment! Kudos to Rich and the support team! My hamstrings would've given up in the first hike-a-bike section. My legs can't seem to handle pushing a bike up a hill.
Rich is one of those people that can just turn up to work the next day and somehow is ok. He's such a strong rider! We think he had a good sleep after this one though.
Rich Payne is the man. How can I complain about an early morning chill on my Sunday base ride when he’s out there battling the nasty elements and mental fatigue for 24 hours straight; all with playful humility and a genuine smile.
Huge respect for Rich!! What a great achievement. Having that commitment to push through those conditions and even make the decision to push to the coast is a true inspiration. Well done everyone at GMBN that made this possible.
That was insane. Absolutely brutal. And you do all this for our entertainment. And your own personal goals of course. Massive respect to you for this one. 👊👊👊
Thanks Andrew 🙌We have a great team both in-front and behind the camera, everyone. This video was a big effort from everyone but we are really happy with how it turned out!
I want you guys to have the weather we have here in Brazil (most of the time, at least). You guys deserve it. Or, maybe is time for a GMBNBR channel? I'm available, bilingual, tall, handsome, and very very humble. 😂👍 (for real, it's a 200 million+ market!)
Brilliant video, it must have been horrible in that kind of weather. More stuff like this please. I once sat in the van next to the Legend otherwise known as Rich Payne in Bike Park Wales. I tell that to all my MTB friends.
Rich you should be so so so proud. What a feat of human endurance, fitness, spirit and determination! Not only would this be a feat at the best of conditions but to do all that and then that bit extra in those conditions. You're a warrior. I've got a 108km cross country race coming up in May, I'll be thinking of you and this challenge during the hard moments!! (Side note... how did you keep your garmin goin, as I'm currently toying with ideas for my race as I don't think it'll last the full length)
That looked brutal! Think it’d be pretty cool to get an idea of what would be done differently if the same kind of challenge would be done again? Like different set up/done during summer etc
Good effort. Done a 300km through the central Highlands a month back, in the wet as well, and boy was I suffering from severe chafing in the groin area due to wet clothing. I'm surprised Rich avoided that!
Well that was an epic ride wow Most would not bother with even starting it with that weather! Absolute legend Rich 👊 Has this inspired me to push my epic rides this year definitely has. Great stuff Rich and finishing with a smile after being battered by the weather and ground conditions you beast 😁👊🤘 Great support fo the #GMBN crew
Could you could ride for 24hrs straight?! 👇
I will go on a similar ride...just 90% less hard😄...it would be a challenge for me at least.
I did Cwmcarn bike park was there about 5 hours mainly climbs.
I just broke my wrist il be out for 3 months. gonna hit up the ending of ces for sure though.
Awesome achievement even if it was a Type2 fun! Well done Rich!
No
Thanks for the kind words everyone was a heck of a challenge and big up the crew that supported me through it to film/make the vid. Stoked you all like it and here’s to the next trip to the #paynecave 👊
Amazing work, Rich! You couldn't have a prouder team! Onto the next one... 😅
Rich, perhaps you and Hank from GCN should found a suffering club. 😄
Mate, your narration afterwards looks like it was shot with you convalescing at a sanatorium ala Chief Inspector Dreyfuss in the Pink Panther movies. I hope you are still in tact.
Well done Rich. I’m glad you do these type of things now so I don’t have to 😂
24+hrs of cold, wet riding, seems like a sufficiently brutal challenge to make one feel alive! Congrats.
Absolutely! Rich smashed this one out of the park! 👊
This is why GMBN guys dominate GCN crew in most of their head to head challenges: They got the stuff. Rich has it. Rode for 24 hrs, didn't reach destination, rode some more. Epic.
Gcn has like 3 videos of riding 24 hrs, when it comes to pure suffering the Rodies are the best at it
@@Meme_supplier Just Hank? 🤣
@@gmbn most of them to be fair..Dan Lloyd is the lazy one 😀
@@gmbn you guys should do a 24 hour challenge with the roadies on a good trail. :)
I love this style of video. Epic is an often overused word but this fully deserves it. Well done!
What impressed me the most is even after all that suffering through rain, cold weather, battered, tired, Rich still finished the journey with a BIG smile on his face.
Have you ever met Rich in real life? He's just happy to be alive.. such a positive person!
Even we don't know how he managed to stay so motivated and happy through that whole challenge! 😅
Like a human Spaniel
@@Richard_Payne_GMBN absolutely! 🤣
You give new meaning to the word knackered. Well done @Rich!
From diy spray painting frames to this epic ride, keep up the good work GMBN.
You guys genuinely rock.
GMBN also has a frame built from scratch. Blake is cool.
Thanks for the support! We're so glad you're loving the content at the moment! 👊
Well impressed with my Magicshine lights, awesome customer service from There Magicshine UK dealer.
That's great to hear! We only work with brands we trust 👍
They are good, I’ve had one since gmbn were shouting about exposure lights 🤣
You have to be absolutely mad to finish this ride, let alone in the winter and tracks that aren't really suited for bikes. Absolute madman! Congrats!
Hey Paul! Rich did so well with this epic challenge! We can officially say that Rich was mad for attempting this, but the hard work paid off! 😅👍
Massive achievement, well done Rich and the team for the support.
Rich you absolutely smashed it and well done on pushing through to Swansea! I could never do this sort of ride myself.
Also, props to the production team for sticking with you the whole trip. Loved this video.
Hey Chris! We agree, Rich bossed this challenge! The guys that went out to film this definitely had a tough job on their hands! 😅
Strong effort. I've spent time up in brecon and dartmoor in similar conditions with kit and little to no sleep, and the strange thing is the almost Stockholm-like feelings you get. Honking at the time, but then after all's done you realise you actually enjoyed it. Nice work Rich 👌
Rich you are an absolute legend. This is hands down the most inspirational, incredible thing I've ever seen anyone do on a mountain bike.
Knowing your love for stats, do you have any for this ride? Total distance, elevation, moving time, calories burned etc?
Yeah at what point does your garmin try to stage an intervention? 😂
Lmao.
Payne is absolute beast. His positivity in all these videos is just epic.
So proud to be a part of the Commonwealth when I watch this video!
Here in Canada people look at me like I'm crazy when they see me fat biking in extreme cold... But I'm not crazy enough to ride with wet shoes without a hat and gloves in Wales in February! You guys are proper crazy canucks! ...and you do it with a smile.
Those lonely midnight mumblings, awesome recognizable 😄 Big up for you Rich!
Your amazing Rich. Love your challenges they are epic to say the least.
you are still crazy! what an epic ride! 👍👍👍
Good work, and top marks for the music selection too!
Between this and your Everesting ride the sheer determination, heart and resiliency are quite inspiring.
Rich you are so awesome! You nutter! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Was recently riding in Conwy as well! Some spectaluar routes by the castle. Congrats on this - mega epic!!
Amazing accomplishment! Kudos to Rich and the support team! My hamstrings would've given up in the first hike-a-bike section. My legs can't seem to handle pushing a bike up a hill.
Just one word . . . respect. That was grueling.
WELL DONE RICH THAT WAS NEXT LEVEL,VERY INSPIRATIONAL MATE.YOU DESERVE A FEW DAYS OFF.
Rich is one of those people that can just turn up to work the next day and somehow is ok. He's such a strong rider! We think he had a good sleep after this one though.
I hope GMBN gave you a spa weekend to help you recover! That was brutal. Well done Rich 👊🏼🔥
I love these adventures
Rich Payne is the man. How can I complain about an early morning chill on my Sunday base ride when he’s out there battling the nasty elements and mental fatigue for 24 hours straight; all with playful humility and a genuine smile.
Rich has to be some sort of super-human! 😂
@@gmbn nah... if he'd have turned back north and ran all the way back to the start it would have made him super human. 😉
Well done Rich and team, what an epic ride and what a challenge!
The distance doesn't tell the story at all. This was an epic fight with nature! Respect
Awesome achievement, kudos for pushing on to the end!
Huge respect for Rich!! What a great achievement. Having that commitment to push through those conditions and even make the decision to push to the coast is a true inspiration. Well done everyone at GMBN that made this possible.
Well rode dude great epic ride..👍🏻
Nice one Rich. Well earned rest, a cup of tea and a biscuit or two would really go down a treat after an epic ride like that I am sure.
I love these videos. They give me so much inspiration for my own videos. What to film and how to edit it all
Wow… amazing effort and a great vid!
That was insane. Absolutely brutal. And you do all this for our entertainment. And your own personal goals of course. Massive respect to you for this one. 👊👊👊
Huge respect Rich, well done.
It’s not till you put the effort in to cool your cockles that you get the pleasure of warming them, well done Rich, truly an amazing effort.
Brilliant. Loved the adventure and the production
Thanks Andrew 🙌We have a great team both in-front and behind the camera, everyone. This video was a big effort from everyone but we are really happy with how it turned out!
Nice one I really enjoyed this video I don't know how on earth he did that journey but he deserves a standing ovation respect 👏 👍🏾
🙌 Rich loves a good challenge and this one was his toughest challenge yet! - We are so proud of him!
I want you guys to have the weather we have here in Brazil (most of the time, at least). You guys deserve it. Or, maybe is time for a GMBNBR channel? I'm available, bilingual, tall, handsome, and very very humble. 😂👍 (for real, it's a 200 million+ market!)
What a bloody incredible and inspiring journey. Thanks Rich and GMBN. Maybe Neil next?!😉
Bravo, sir! And a super shout out to your support team! Your positivity absolutely carried you through...amazing!
Rich, Hank and Si should do an ultra race event together...
Great idea! 👊
Brilliant video, it must have been horrible in that kind of weather. More stuff like this please. I once sat in the van next to the Legend otherwise known as Rich Payne in Bike Park Wales. I tell that to all my MTB friends.

Wow Rich that was epic. What an effort and dedication my man 💪🏾. Already said it ones and i will say again, dude is a machine. ✌🏾
Madness, absolutely disgusting weather, wicked landscape. That's what makes epics epic. From an Australian Payne... well done Rich.
E p i c.
the real beauty of this landscape can take away little bit of the pain I think 😉 Nice content for sure 👍🏻
100%! The views Rich got seemed to be well worth the pain! 😂
Maybe not actually. 🥴😅
Wow! Much respect to you brotha! Well done! It takes a lot of mental discipline to do that. 🤟
That looked brutal! Think it’d be pretty cool to get an idea of what would be done differently if the same kind of challenge would be done again? Like different set up/done during summer etc
Rich you are something else, dude I wish I had half your energy. You are such an inspiration to everyone...an your always smiling 🤙😁
Animal! That look awful with the weather so rough. Thanks Rich for taking us along.
Hats off to Rich. Legend! Loved watching it. Well done!
We're so glad you enjoyed it! 👊
Mad props for the determination in completing this, gave me a shit ton of motivation to be doing long day/ride challenges from now till late summer.
You're an absolute machine Rich! Lots of respect!
Good job Rich. That’s some stamina
Impressed. What an athlete. Nothing more to say really. Awesome.
'I decided to tackle it in a positive, smiley manner' Literally Rich all the time 😆 congrats Rich, incredible 👏🏻
Just awesome, can't believe you did so much of it with no gloves on!
Hats off Rich....congrats on an epic achievement!

Wow, this is amazing, well done Rich, more so that you are doing this in 🇬🇧, with the awful weather. Kudos to you man. Kudos.
Great job Mate, Much Respect to everyone..!!!
👊
Good effort. Done a 300km through the central Highlands a month back, in the wet as well, and boy was I suffering from severe chafing in the groin area due to wet clothing. I'm surprised Rich avoided that!
You are a legend!!! Rich Payne 💪💪💪
Fair play some challenge in that weather, loving all the Rich challenge vids. Great video.
Congratulations, One Hell of a challenge
Now that's true mountain biking right there wow must've been hard well done rich 👌🏻
It certainly is! 🙌
Was it? I'd say this is more cross country riding. Since he quite literally, well.... crossed a country....
Amazing video guys. And rich. Always smiling!! Love it
Thanks, Andy! Glad you enjoyed the video! 👍
Rich you're as inspirational as you are bonkers! Chapeau
Just 2 words : mad respect

Absolute legend Rich 👊
Has this inspired me to push my epic rides this year definitely has.
Great stuff Rich and finishing with a smile after being battered by the weather and ground conditions you beast 😁👊🤘
Great support fo the #GMBN crew
EPIC!!!! Awesome effort
Absolutely brilliant determination just that trail that was covered in trees would have been the end for me. Great ride dude.
Rich certainly showed us what it means to go through blood, sweat and tears with this one! 👍
That was awesome, Rich is a machiiiine! Hope to see more of these 👍
After Rich has a break we're sure he'll be back with more mad challenges! 😅
