- A documentary of our 300km Gravel ride at the Scott Frontier 300, from the Rockcliffe in Scotland to Druridge Bay in Northumberland, England. An Epic Coast to Coast ride taking in 5000m of assent the ride took us 16.5 hours on the 8th June 2024. In this video we show the logistics of getting to the start line, what we packed, what food we took and how we paced and enjoyed the ride.
The ride is organised by a company called Focal Events, and you can find out more about the event here: frontier300.cc/
There is a 1 day solo epic, a 1 day relay and a 2 day solo event to choose from. We were both riding as solo riders, but spent the day together, chilling and enjoying ourselves. - Спорт

That looked like loads of fun🤙🏼. Great video, hopefully there will be more in the future ✌🏼
Looking for some inspiration
The "short hike a bike section" is hilarious 😂 everyone needs a section like that in their life... once.
Well done looks great, ,,there's a ride a group of guys started in Melbourne called the Spartan 333... it's 300km 3000 metres of climbing 3km of dirt, ,such a great day of riding with a bunch of friends. ..
Love that.
This looks fantastic well done to you both 💪
Thank you!! 😁
Thanks for the video.
Still waiting for the rice cake recipe. 😄
I love those events were the main goal is to prove yourself instead of beating others. Well done you both, very inspiring! And what a beautiful route...
Bests from northern Germany where it is so flat we can see in the morning who's coming for dinner.
Thank you. I’m up for Bratwurst.
@@Mapdec Anytime sir!
Great ride, long day! Thanks to whoever took their lawnmower to the hike-a-bike section 😊
Terrific achievement you two , something to look back on as time goes by. All the training obviously paid off and I’m sure bigger challenges lay ahead. Take care 👍👍
We will see. Something about this event captured my imagination.
Congratulations to both of you. It was so enjoyable to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very impressive. That ride would take me a week.
Thank you.
An amazing route and such a well organised event. I live near the start and have watched this grow slowly - it deserves to be on a World Series of the very best endurance events. Well done and top tyre choice.
Yeah. I think this route can become a real classic.
Which tyres are these?
looked like fun and that, for me is the ethos of the hobby. Friends, fun, personal ability and achievement. Good work guys. x
🙏
Absolutely brilliant, really enjoyed watching that!
Thanks Andy.
Great video, Paul 👏. You have good taste in OMM....(.It's the same as mine!). As you say it looks like an Epic ride indeed. Chapeau to all finishers! 👏Hope you enjoyed Northumberland and the finish at Druridge Bay.....only a few miles from where I live in Morpeth.
Well done!
🙏
Loved it. Great effort guys. Inspiring! Keep this content coming..
We will!
Well done both. Great effort
Many thanks!
Top effort guys, well done 👍🚴♀️
Thank you 🙏
Well done. That's way longer than I've ever done (Hincapie Grande Fondo in South Carolina). Looks very well organised. Doing the Grande Fondo in the Isle of Man at the end of July.
Oh. I might have a look at that event.
Pretty epic. At least you would be able to make repairs on the go.good choice of foods. I'd be eating my way around the ride.
The Ginger and Miso rice cakes are the dream. Thanks Phil.
Great video, would be interested to see an overview of your training as you seemed to deal with a big ride pretty comfortably!
Thank you. We did that. There were 3 videos around training for this.
@@Mapdec ah awesome, thanks, will have a look
Well done! As I don´t live in the UK,it would be nice to see more of the surroudings you´re crossing on your trips/races. And where did you fit your Mapdec? Couldn´t see it... Rgr
Oh the Mapdec map board is old skool. This was all on gps now.
What an epic adventure!
As for the event, if I'm getting it right, there is no podium ratings and medals rewards or else?
Correct. Just random prizes as the organisers see fit.
Respect for this achievement. I would love to here your opinion on the CRW Works CS4045 wheels.
Thank you. What do you think makes them special?
@@Mapdec I mean, they're pretty light. But I don't know about things like durability or maintenance
@@Maxibsa wherever there is lightweight there is compromise on durability and repairability. Its all a question of how may compromises you are willing to risk for the weight and cost.
Congratulations to you both, a great achievement. Looks a great route and event. Would you have been better riding a XC Mountain bike rather than a gravel bike? I fancy doing this next year. Doing the Stone Circle on the 29th only a mere 200K.
I think you could adapt a MTB to work. A couple of folk were on fully rigid MTB. I think you would find them a bit slow.
Definitely cross/gravel bike terrain. You could ride an MTB but it would be overkill.
How was the saddle? Seeing as though you nailed those miles, I'm assuming it was comfortable, but figured it worth asking just in case!
Yeah fine. To be honest I can ride almost anything without issues though.
LOOK 785 anyone ??? Come on Paul , the brand is relying on you in the UK
We have a Huez vs Huez vid in the edit
@@Mapdec Huez vs Huez ? 🤔
Sod carrying, use a framebag.
Can’t stand them rattling about. Spent decades adventure racing with a pack. Doesn’t bother me one bit. 🤷♂️
Unbound next year, then.
Getting to the start line is harder than the event.
@@Mapdec what do you like about gravel, Paul ? I appreciate the more intimate countryside scenery and lack of automotive traffic. Racing on it brings its own unique challenges. In a way, I think that gravel riding and racing may be the salvation for the drop bar bike.
@@petersouthernboy6327 I think it’s just more social cycling adventure. It’s easier to just hang out and ride with mates. MTB is a bit slog it uphill and smash it downhill. I like that too. Road can be difficult to chill and chat in a group. Always moving for cars etc. There is a lot of space on a forest track
Can’t think of anything worse ☹️
It’s a vibe
@@Mapdec I’m not impressed with the so called gravel bikes at best mediocre off road and absolute cr@p on road.
@@Tarmaccyclocross yep. I think you nailed it. They do work well on gravel fire roads.
