This was a treat to watch two great characters i would love to see more Owen and Blake adventures around Britain and Ireland. Watch out for them puddles Owen 😂.
Love it! Owen on a bike! He reminds me of my riding buddy...always goes on,on,on and on talking. Maybe now him and Ollie from GCN together? Oh thats 2 MUCH!! LOL
great to see Owen out on the bike and what a great ride - love riding the Wiltshire trails - Owens oddities and Blake being just a beautiful person out in the countryside riding bikes - nice :)
Great video, for me mountain biking is also about touring, bike parks are great but touring is just amazing for stopping off at pubs or finding hidden single tracks. Still so much better than being a roadie!
That was brilliant!. More like this please. Maybe a GMBN Tech video on the kit required to go bike packing on a mountain bike. Maybe something that would cover bigger loads if you wanted to camp out vs hotel stays. I want to go bike packing, but I don't want to buy a touring bike, or a gravel bike to do it. You rarely see videos about bike packing on a MTB. PS: More of Owen riding bikes! Such a great guy.
Nice video, Owen is great and an excellent addition to the team. Thanks for doing this adventure on bicycles, by the way. Something I shouldn't have to say, but since this channel has recently been turning in to a second EMBN channel, I appreciate that you didn't use motorcycles for this adventure.
Owen's Oddities, we need more of those in biking adventures. Just make sure he has more tea and snacks to stop the bonk. Blake as always, just a fun loving bloke doing fun loving things.
This was great, as was the recent Traws Eryri video. More like these please! They remind me of the videos that got me hooked on GMBN and GCN in the first place.
Awesome video! It makes me want to go back to the UK. Salisbury Cathedral is one of my favorite cathedrals in all of Europe. I am planning a bike trip for western Colorado and Moab, Utah this year. ✌️
Man, what a dream! It would be so awesome to ride with Owen and learn about the history of everything there. Thank you for making this video! Oh, just one little disappointment ... Blake isn't riding the crab.
That was awesome. You guys have so many great riding options there. Owen should do a historical video on how the UK bought into making all these biking opportunities.
Great video Fun and informative . Had not heard that bit about the sharpness of Flint before . I only thought is was for killing the white walkers in Game of Thrones :).
What a cracking ride, parents grew up around Devizes and Alton Barnes and I’ve lived locally over the years too. What an adventure and full of interesting oddities.
I flippin love this. You got two characters completely different. Going on a bike ride and enjoying themselves. The measured in wrinkles comment got me laughing! I also think blake should have a side hussle. "A day on the bike with blake" do tours.. id pay a ton of money to have blake as a tourguide for a day! 😂
I used to live in Salisbury. Nice to see shots of my old stomping ground. Another oddity for Owen: the cathedral is home to one of the last original and best preserved copies of the Magna Carta.
That looked like an ace bike packing trip - my choice? Probably West Highland Way Scotland would like to do it all have done bits its great, thanks for sharing was fab 😁🚵♂️👍
And maybe lower his seat 1/2” or bring the seat forward a little. He looked to be reaching with his legs when he was pedaling. I really, really like Owen! He’s charming!
You need to look at the ISM saddles. Saddles are always a bone of contention, but the touring saddle is awesome. No mucking about with creams & you can ride for hours without discomfort.
Great vid! Be nice to have a link to a map for people to follow, looks like a great ride. I’m sure we could do it in a day without Owen’s oddities! lol. Well done lads.
really chill vid, one awkward nerd and one cool guy riding in the outback... slightly, but just slightly, surprised that you didn't present your bikes... Are you interested in showing one of Bulgaria's largest XC race Vitosha100?
I’ve stayed in many a Holiday Inn, through work, 4 a week all over the country. I’ve always been worried about my van being broken into and my tools being pinched. Where did you keep your muddy bikes? I can’t imagine the staff would be too happy you rolling it into your room? And I’d be buggered if I’m gunna keep it outside where someone would pinch it 😂
Where would you go on your dream bike-packing trip? Let us know in the comments below! 👇
I hate bike packing, fun to watch video but I hate carrying all that junk!
Edit: that's not really bike packing that's Holiday Inn tripping 😂
Yorkshire moors.
@gmbn it would have to be France! Endless landscapes, great food and drink, nice people (if you speak the language). What's not to like!
Pennine bridleway
Locally I'd say just following the coasts . Iceland is in the list as well
Owen is fantastic, what a wealth of knowledge - good to see him fitting in with the team!
Yes finally we get to watch Owen ride! Owen is the Ollie of GMBN. 🤣
That was my first thought!
That was my first thought!
More adventures with Owen please. Entertaining and knowledgeable for the viewers to watch.
What a treat this film was. A new double act is born. More Owen and Blake please....
Legends say due to Owens oddities, this two day adventure took three days to film.
Best GMBN film for a long time 🤗🤗🤗
Neil is better than Owen, but despite that good vid. I guess Own is Martmite .. not my cuppa
Loved this adventure with Owen. Welcome to the team dude 🎉😊
Cheers Boss!
Owen+Blake = Dream Team 👍 More trips to come hopefully 🤞😊🚲
Owen became one of my favorites. If you had a second channel where you could post the entirety of his talks, Id watch them
Owen and Blake, bloking around. Love it!
Owen is the James May of GMBN and it's amazing 😁
This was a treat to watch two great characters i would love to see more Owen and Blake adventures around Britain and Ireland. Watch out for them puddles Owen 😂.
FINALLY!!! Owen in the wild!
Owen is great! I love meeting people full of knowledge like that. They are so interesting to talk to.
Owen is brilliant- more Owen please
Less please - more Neil 😀😀
Love these adventures guys, pubs, local history and British engineering.
You will definitely have to get Owen out more the poor lad, I feel for him.
More of these types of videos please, I enjoyed every second.
Welcome Owen! Actually….Owen and Conor would be AMAZING together as they both like to do history facts while biking!
Blake,Owen,GMBN,thanks so much for such an epic ride.That would be great to experience.Owen welcome to the presenter team,great addition.
I really think his nickname should be "Fun-fact" ❤ great to see Owen out for a trip 😊
great video, and so close to where i live.
🤣 Great couple.
They should do a 3 day group biketrip with all the presenters,
A long time coming and so deserved, congratulations Owen! 👊 - Loved the video!
Love it! Owen on a bike! He reminds me of my riding buddy...always goes on,on,on and on talking. Maybe now him and Ollie from GCN together? Oh thats 2 MUCH!! LOL
great to see Owen out on the bike and what a great ride - love riding the Wiltshire trails - Owens oddities and Blake being just a beautiful person out in the countryside riding bikes - nice :)
Want more Owen, NEED more Owen. just made my whole week better!!! Way to go GMBN!🤩
Thank you Blake and Owen for visiting Salisbury and showing how beautiful our city and the county side round here is.
Leave your bikes unlocked outside the pub while you go inside for lunch and they are still there when you get back, amazing!
Definitely not happening here in Czech 😂 even if you lock it, it might be gone, also the lamp you locked it to😅
Yeah i do it all the time around here in Wiltshire, not much danger at a quiet village pub of it getting stolen.
Great video, for me mountain biking is also about touring, bike parks are great but touring is just amazing for stopping off at pubs or finding hidden single tracks. Still so much better than being a roadie!
Looked like you guys had fun. Also love Owens oddities!
We need far more Owens oddities . As ever always a good fun video to inspire people.
More Owen Please? I don't live in the UK, and I appreciate the Local knowledge as i plan a last? trip from Canada
Love bike packing videos ! Please more
That was brilliant!. More like this please. Maybe a GMBN Tech video on the kit required to go bike packing on a mountain bike.

Big up Wiltshire! Beautiful county, so glad I live here. Was especially helpful during covid, so much space to get out on the bike!
That looked like way too much fun, which I've come to expect from Blakes videos. Welcome to the team Owen, great fun video.
Fantastic video guys. Awesome history tidbits.
Amazing! One day I hope to give either Owen or Blake a high five! Such cool dudes.
Nice video, Owen is great and an excellent addition to the team. Thanks for doing this adventure on bicycles, by the way. Something I shouldn't have to say, but since this channel has recently been turning in to a second EMBN channel, I appreciate that you didn't use motorcycles for this adventure.

This was great, as was the recent Traws Eryri video. More like these please! They remind me of the videos that got me hooked on GMBN and GCN in the first place.
Absolutely loved these two together on an adventure. Would love to see more adventures from Blake & Owen.
More of Owen’s Oddities please. These two are hilarious together 😂
Great to see Owen out and about and also to see the kind of riding that so many UK mtb’ers do.
Been to Stonehenge a few times. Very cool place! Salisbury is a very cool town too. Thanks for showing us around the south of England a bit.
Your welcome Brendan. Glad you liked it dude
Owen isa really great addition to GMBN, same as Rich was. Two really good banters them.
delightful!
Finally Owen showing up Blake by "Shredding the Gnar " like a Boss .......outstanding ride lads
Gosh if this was filmed in the last few weels I'm moving fantastic weather 👍
Awesome video! It makes me want to go back to the UK. Salisbury Cathedral is one of my favorite cathedrals in all of Europe. I am planning a bike trip for western Colorado and Moab, Utah this year. ✌️
Man, what a dream! It would be so awesome to ride with Owen and learn about the history of everything there. Thank you for making this video! Oh, just one little disappointment ... Blake isn't riding the crab.
Nice vid. Two completely different personalities on a good, longish ride. 👍👍for Owen and Blake( not necessarily in that order)
Great content. Was getting a bit burnt out of your regular stuff.
Great duo!
Thanks for watching!
That was awesome. You guys have so many great riding options there. Owen should do a historical video on how the UK bought into making all these biking opportunities.
PLEASE make these riding history tours Owens 'thing' on the channel. I'll watch every single one just to learn about the great grey UK.
Interesting watch, I'm from warminster area. You should check out Shearwater and Longleat forest..... gnarly old trails....
Owen grows on you like that strange character in a series who becomes your favorite part of the show
Great trip!
Great video Fun and informative . Had not heard that bit about the sharpness of Flint before . I only thought is was for killing the white walkers in Game of Thrones :).
Owen is def good for the channel as ye seems like one of us (apart from his knowledge of everything) I mean he is just a super fit MTB rider 👏
These two and Rich on a field trip should be good for a laugh. Well done gents.
Very cool video!
Owen is the James May of GMBN.
I live in this area. I am currently researching an off road route from Devizes to Salisbury Plain. It is awesome.
Owen is a legend
Well, that was a good history lesson 😂
"It's like MIPS....." Hilarious!
🤭
What a cracking ride, parents grew up around Devizes and Alton Barnes and I’ve lived locally over the years too. What an adventure and full of interesting oddities.
I flippin love this. You got two characters completely different. Going on a bike ride and enjoying themselves. The measured in wrinkles comment got me laughing!
I also think blake should have a side hussle. "A day on the bike with blake" do tours.. id pay a ton of money to have blake as a tourguide for a day! 😂
With all his information, Owen would be a great guide too.
I always assumed Owen was on Tech because nobody had managed to make a helmet strong enough to contain his luscious locks.
As a side note, Owen’s Luscious Locks could be the name of a new video series where he rides the canals of Britain.
Or it might be a video about bike locks. You know, some luscious ones.
I used to live in Salisbury. Nice to see shots of my old stomping ground. Another oddity for Owen: the cathedral is home to one of the last original and best preserved copies of the Magna Carta.
Bike packing and hotel are not words I often see together......... Although I do approve 😂
@11:30 looked like the scene when Danny Macaskill rode into, under water and out of the farm road puddle.
Right?!
Was Owen allowed to pull his bike out of that puddle?
"On no account should any object be moved or touched. IT MAY EXPLODE."
Loved this ❤ 🔥 💪
Good on Blake for not strangling Owen lol. Very entertaining vidjeo👍👍
Different... Nice! 👍
That looked like an ace bike packing trip - my choice? Probably West Highland Way Scotland would like to do it all have done bits its great, thanks for sharing was fab 😁🚵♂️👍
Lol love this, welcome Owen! Now you need a proper mtb helmet to join the crew!
And maybe lower his seat 1/2” or bring the seat forward a little. He looked to be reaching with his legs when he was pedaling. I really, really like Owen! He’s charming!
That's the helmet that protects his hair, he also needs one that protects his head.
That was so good
You need to look at the ISM saddles. Saddles are always a bone of contention, but the touring saddle is awesome. No mucking about with creams & you can ride for hours without discomfort.
I thought you shouldn't share chamois cream. Great episode and editing!
This ride is literally on my back door. I live very close to the hotel you stopped at
OWEN IS RIDING?
IT CAN'T BE 😂
wait a minute - owen not only fixes bikes but also rides em? mind blown ;)
We need to see a presenter shredding video of Owen, that kinda thing anyway
Owen is great haha 👏🏽👏🏽
What a fun duo
Great vid! Be nice to have a link to a map for people to follow, looks like a great ride. I’m sure we could do it in a day without Owen’s oddities! lol. Well done lads.
need a whole episode where its just owen yapping
I Love these type of videos i just watch s This The UK’s Best Adventure Ride? | GMBN Rides The Traws Eryri Trail before this one need more of these
You guys should go over your bikes, gear, and apps used in this adventure.
Straight pass my house in Staverton. Try riding the towpath in the Summer holidays 😂😂 your not getting very far, very fast
Yooo. What Garmin mount are you both using? Is it just a top cap mount? Cheers my beauty’s 🤙🏻🍻
really chill vid, one awkward nerd and one cool guy riding in the outback... slightly, but just slightly, surprised that you didn't present your bikes... Are you interested in showing one of Bulgaria's largest XC race Vitosha100?
im lucky enough to live right next to Salisbury plain and boa and I honestly think its some of the best cx riding around
All you guys were missing were a couple of gravel bikes!! 😉😉
Owen is the Jordan’s Schlansky of GMBN 😂
I’ve stayed in many a Holiday Inn, through work, 4 a week all over the country. I’ve always been worried about my van being broken into and my tools being pinched.
Where did you keep your muddy bikes? I can’t imagine the staff would be too happy you rolling it into your room? And I’d be buggered if I’m gunna keep it outside where someone would pinch it 😂
