next weekend with my best mate to the beautiful Allgäu. Inspired by the GCN+ film the King and the Beers ;-) Looking for some nice gravel and some fine beers after
I don't know about a weekend, but I'm surprised that you have never done a film about training for and planning an unsupported Lands End to John O'Groats ride , perhaps with a presenter and someone who hasn't ridden much before. You could do it over 9-10 days or so to give 120-130k daily rides. You could maybe have a series of shorter films as the scheme progresses and one long one after it's finished. It is such an iconic ride, and many viewers would be interested in the ride reflecting something they could do rather than something with the amazing Mark Beaumont (I love those films too!). And do it more on byways than highways, most people don't have a protective support van for braving the A30 or the A9!
My favourite is taking in the hills around the West Dorset Jurrasic Coast: Abbotsbury, Eggardon Hill, White Sheet coming out of Beaminster; and some great cream teas as well.
Loving these human-sized adventures, like the previous backpacking trip Hank did around Calais. Starting with a train ride is perfect to get away from the busy urban centers where we live. Chapeau!
Didn’t think these lads could get any more stylish until I took in the glory that was their new kit by Isadore. Love watching Connor out of his comfort zone going down that tiny off-road downhill too. Lol.
Legends, I love the equipment too. The bikes look well made and the kit looks comfy. I love bike-packing and epic rides and Connor/Hank duo is always good to watch. Thank you for sharing this with us and I hope to see you again, having fun outdoors.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Absolutely my favourite type of gcn video! Great short adventure! Love these! I laughed sooo much! You two are a hoot! I also loved Manon and Jenny's bike rafting one. What I love is 2 friends having an adventure that I could see myself having. I particularly love the combination off road bits. This shows you how you can do it another way without taking food and tents! BRILLIANT! Great to show the advantages of 650B tires! Don't care where you go, I'll watch for sure! Can we have another women's one gcn? So more women could see themselves doing it? Manon and Jenny again? (Love the accents) moreof this content please gcn! I will even put up with the product placements. I liked that they were environmental and I may consider that Isadore kit.
Looking forward to watching this. I've just watched 3 minutes of it, and was seriously concerned about Connor, who seemed to be slightly slurring his words. I was wondering if anyone else was noticing. I mean, Hank hadn't mentioned it...Then I realised my playback speed was on 75% as I was watching videos in Italian yesterday and had slowed them down in an effort to keep up. Hahahhaha, I was genuinely worried.
Great to see our wonderful county get the spotlight. Have traveled a similar route, but by road, on a road bike. Lots of hills, lots of stunning scenery and lots of fun. Looks like you had a great time guys. Thanks for the laughs.
@@gcn yes, but certainly not any lighter than connors. his was well in the sweetspot for being doped with white color. e, and any more hue it would seem not as good taste. it could of gone more black though and that could look OK... but that shade doesnt look bad on a strgt man.
Yes, more of this kind of content please and I agree with Korben’s Burn - longer videos 45 - 60 min. My favorite place for bike packing is the KVR trail in British Columbia - check it out.
@@gcn I love both, but even though I love GCN I am a Mountainbiker primarily so New Zealand is pretty good for that. Nz for pies. Cornwall for pasties. :)
Love it when they put the short guy with the long guy in a bike ride!!! You know silly shit's gonna happen and they always seem to have a blast together!!
Great film guys. Really enjoyed riding in Cornwall when I did Lejog last year and my spent lots of time and have happy memories being on the Helford river growing up. Lovely to see it again! More like this please 🙂
Ooooo you two will be frowned upon going that way around the Clocktower in Porthleven. I've lost count of how many times I've been told "It's one way" when very slowly coming in from Loe Bar (pronounced Low Bar). I feel very blessed to live near Porthleven and get to cycle here, especially on days when it's glorious like today.
Why does Conor pick these lovely bike touring trips where he keeps falling over? LOL! I love Hank's enthusiasm! There should be a caption competition for Conor's face on the morning after the night before. LOL! Looks such a great ride.
Loved the vid. B4 becoming a roadie I was a die hard MTB. Riding gravel or single track, one needs to learn lines. GCN could do a vid to help ppl understand off-road lines. It was the same for me in skiing, rafting, and MTB. Knowing how to read lines is the difference from fun or injury.
Great point! Line choice can be super important. We have a great video on beginner gravel tips that can help with that 👉 ua-cam.com/video/8Ad0Odm5Eh4/v-deo.html
Cornwall and Mexico have a historical connection and we have our version of pasties. Awesome place, Cornwall is. Amazing video. If you like steep hills maybe you should visit Mexico and try our pasties. cheers!
Love the GCN Adventures but using a train in this video is a bit of artist license. Just checked and a return ticket for two people from the Midlands to Truro is £790 😂 Get a lovely weekend in Mallorca or Flanders for that.
I live in a third world country, but if there will be a time where we would have bike-friendly public transports I would do multi-day rides like this in a heartbeat.
Where would you go on a weekend bikepacking adventure? 🚴🗺

Through Spain would be good
Gran llanada Alavesa.
Good to see Hank and Connor wear their helmets on the train. It could save your life!
Safety first 👷
Hank seems the most gentle, cheerful and gentlemanly guy to ride with. And Connor is a joy..... What a partnership
"Where is that little love bird?" Hank gets all the best lines. Brilliant. More "Gandalf and Frodo adventures" please!
Yess, and also "You look gorgeous in purple", @min 15:07 🤣🤣🤣
Best line of the year, "I'm a weak giant".
Connor really is the roadiest of road riders. I really appreciate him taking on gravel and bike camping.
Absolutely love these epic adventures, Hank and Connor, what a team xx
These two are always a good pair! This isn't their first rodeo 👉ua-cam.com/video/zGv68RvajSY/v-deo.html
@@gcn they always genuinely look like they're enjoying themselves :)
I love these adventures. It would be great to see a longer version (45 - 60 mins). Maybe that's something you can add to the GCN+ app?
Seconded
Great idea🙌 Conor has just got back from this epic ride! On GCN+ now 👉 gcn.eu/Philippines
They should send a host away for a month on a dicey bike packing adventure.
@@christopherprice-hq5sy and maybe ride with subscribers
@@KorbensBum GCN needs interesting and photogenic people or it will be a charity event. there is my cold and crude two cents.
Fun, sun, sea, sand, bogs, gravel eco friendly and friends - this vid has it all. Thanks I really enjoyed it ☺️
The entire team at GCN including the film makers are phenomenal! Thx for another epic episode guys!
Loving these human-sized adventures, like the previous backpacking trip Hank did around Calais. Starting with a train ride is perfect to get away from the busy urban centers where we live. Chapeau!
There are adventures around every corner! 🌅
So fun! Love the adventure and friendship. The double skidding stop was perfect. 😊
it is great that trips are being discussed that don't include and dissuade high polluting travel. More please.
Amazing music and such a cool video. Great stuff editing people.
These types of adventure videos are what I enjoy the most. Icing on the cake!! Loved every minute. Thanks again.
Didn’t think these lads could get any more stylish until I took in the glory that was their new kit by Isadore. Love watching Connor out of his comfort zone going down that tiny off-road downhill too. Lol.
It’s relatable. That would be me 😂
Not only can you hear Hank form a mile off... you can see him now 👀
This was really fun to watch!
This is what I like to see, having fun is more important than shaving a few seconds.
Say it louder for those at the back 🙌
You two are the best company at a Sunday lunch 😘❣
Need more of these with Gandalf and Frodo! Two of the most natural presenters and they are clearly good mates!
You want more you say? Here you go 👉 ua-cam.com/video/zGv68RvajSY/v-deo.html
This was a great adventure, had really nice feel about it, thank you.
I cycled from Lands End to John O'Groats last year and this brought back some great memories :)
Nice work! That is a tough old ride, do you have any plans lined up for future adventures?
Connor should've brought El Alto! These two on adventures... love it!
Always entertaining when you two are out and about.
I liked the video very much and I going to implement this idea to my adventures with my mate💪❤️🥰🚴♀️
Great trip. Love the bikes, jerseys and huts! You two need to do another trip like that with camping and cooking.
Any video with Conor and Hank gets a watch and a like. 100%
Yes yes yes! A share as-well maybe? 😉
You cats are the best! More adventures!
Legends, I love the equipment too. The bikes look well made and the kit looks comfy. I love bike-packing and epic rides and Connor/Hank duo is always good to watch. Thank you for sharing this with us and I hope to see you again, having fun outdoors.
Great to hear you enjoyed it! Will you be heading out on this loop? 👀
@@gcn I would love to but I am living in Japan at this moment. Got another epic planned in two weeks over here. Would you like to come? 😉
More please!! Amazing content. Amazing scenery. And amazing dialogue from both Conor and Hank!!! TY!!!!!

Loved this adventure! Also kudos to the music! As a world music radio show host/producer I loved the choices.
Ton of fun! The weak giant had me rolling!
That was a genuinely funny line.
Great video, good friendship, good adventure. 👍

Never a day's work with your mates having fun. Great work, another gcn epic ride.
I would love to see them doing a bike packing adventure in sub-saharan Africa.
More adventures showing off Conners bikehandling skills 😂
Yes please!
Loved this...thanks, guys!
Great to see our wonderful county get the spotlight. Have traveled a similar route, but by road, on a road bike. Lots of hills, lots of stunning scenery and lots of fun. Looks like you had a great time guys. Thanks for the laughs.
I liked the video before watching it, because i knew it was gonna be epic!! Thanks guys, keep it up!
It's incredible how this is filmed. It's like a chamber of commerce for visiting southwest England. Very cool, fun video. Cheers.
I love these adventure videos!! Would love to see more!
More! oh, here you go then 👉 ua-cam.com/video/zGv68RvajSY/v-deo.html
Also thank you for showing my home of Cornwall. Loved it!
Did we do the area justice?
Thanks Conor and James ...and crew...very cool !
I really love those epic adventures. Please more of them!!! Amazing how clean your outfits were at Penzance Station.
These two always look on point 👌
10:30 - Sudanese music?!!!! 🇸🇩🇸🇩
15:13 too! Revolutionary music, Solidarity!
The purple is a great shade. Fine color on Conor really.
Wishing you doods a good one
Should we go pastel with the new GCN kit? 👀
@@gcn yes, but certainly not any lighter than connors. his was well in the sweetspot for being doped with white color. e, and any more hue it would seem not as good taste. it could of gone more black though and that could look OK... but that shade doesnt look bad on a strgt man.

7 AM in the morning! Thanks. Thought it was 7AM in the evening!
The new adventures of Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock. 😅
I thought the same thing when I saw the jerseys in the thumbnail.
Wow that was nostalgia. I live in NZ, but grew up down the road from the farm you showed. Loved the film.
Also Conner on GMBN when?
What do you prefer the Uk or NZ? 👀
@@gcn I love both, but even though I love GCN I am a Mountainbiker primarily so New Zealand is pretty good for that.
Nz for pies. Cornwall for pasties. :)
so good!x
Very nice video, congrats.
Love it when they put the short guy with the long guy in a bike ride!!! You know silly shit's gonna happen and they always seem to have a blast together!!
11:10 ... what impresses me the most is, that they managed over 2000km of incline during a 180km ride. Awesome guys!
great video! Hank and Connor always good job
Lots of great roads around there and nice off road! Nicely done, great idea.
Some great riding 🙌
love Isidore kit. they from my neighbor country Slovakia.
Great film guys. Really enjoyed riding in Cornwall when I did Lejog last year and my spent lots of time and have happy memories being on the Helford river growing up. Lovely to see it again! More like this please 🙂
Will you ever take the bike back down to Cornwall? Some great riding to be had 🙌
@@gcn It's a lovely place to cycle. Hopefully one day!

Amazing trip as always! You guys need to do guided tours for people to come along on!!
Hanks guided tours would be all over the shop 😂
Awesome video
such aesthetic kit. id wear em.
The most amazing thing about this video is that you found trains that welcome bikes and were actually running! In the UK that is almost unheard of.
Er pretty much all trains take bikes......
Hanks entrance onto the beach looool looks like he was trying a new sport
Great trip. Please do some more videos like this.
Where should we send them next? 👀
this is nice weekend trip
All the bunny hops and small mini challenge celebrations make this!
It's about the journey not the destination 😉
Hehe, even over the sound of Hank crashing in the sand and his little yell, you could hear Conor laughing :D
The music in this episode 👌🏼
We need a close up of that epic dive Conor did into the scruffy bush! Without further review, I'd have to give him an 8.
You guys are great duo.. Connor stay on that bike lol😂
And to think he used to be pro 👀
Amazing work ride. Thank you for sharing. May need to purchase a gravel bike.
Consider adding epic rides in the USA. There are plenty of them.
A gravel bike is always a good idea 🙌
That trail looks awesome!
Fancy giving it a try? 👉 gcn.eu/90Y
Connor you are hilarious on gravel track 😂😂
Looks like an awesome adventure. Come to NewBrunswick, Canada, and I’ll gladly take you on a bikepacking tour here!
Amazing
I loved this viseo, I live in Cornwall and I would choose somewhere with less hills LOL.

Cornwall and Mexico have a historical connection and we have our version of pasties. Awesome place, Cornwall is. Amazing video. If you like steep hills maybe you should visit Mexico and try our pasties. cheers!
Its only an adventure if these two are involved.
I immediately shared with mates to replicate the adventure...and thats the whole point right.
Lake District!! Defo!
kudos to whoever picked Ebo Krdum for the soundtrack !
I've come to realise that most of the time it sounds like you're doing something I'd find fun, Hank is involved 😂
I like the star trek uniforms
Fun Riding😄👍🚴♂️🚴♂️
Lucky for you
I would love to see you do The South Downs Way. I'm planning to do it later in the summer so wit would be great to get a preview.
Nice vid, I think you should do king Alfred’s way a lovely ride
when you're in such a rush to catch the train home you've no time to do any additional filming between Land's End and Penzance!
Hank is a national treasure.
Love the GCN Adventures but using a train in this video is a bit of artist license. Just checked and a return ticket for two people from the Midlands to Truro is £790 😂 Get a lovely weekend in Mallorca or Flanders for that.
Of course it is.........................
I know trains can be a bit dangerous at times but i'm pretty sure that a cycling helmet ain't gonna be much help in a crash 😂
You just never know... 👀
Awesome ride 🎉❤

you guys missed a treat the b3306 st ives to st just is a magical ride , maybe next time
Point of order: I work closely with the Taiwanese company behind Topeak. They pronounce it "Top Peak" not "Tow Peak".
Glad to hear this I always pronounced it Top peak and heard GCN and the likes say “Tow peak” and thought I was wrong!
8:10 tell hank thats the most manliest scream i ever heard
