We Raced A Gravel Pro For 360km. How Much Quicker Was He?

We’re taking on an insane cycling challenge: riding the ultimate 360km gravel route around London! Alex and Si attempted to complete a gruelling loop that encircles the capital, passing through stunning countryside while dodging infamous London traffic. Joined by professional gravel racer Jenson Young from the Ribble Outliers Pro Gravel Team, they put their endurance, gear, and resolve to the ultimate test. #AD in association with ‪@selleitalia1897‬ ‪@wahoofitness‬ & ‪@RibbleCyclesChannel‬ 00:00 The 360km Gravel Challenge 01:09 Why Do This Challenge 02:22 Jenson Young Ribble Outliers Pro Gravel Team 04:26 Tech Setup 05:51 The Real Gravel Experience Begins 08:44 Jenson Starts & The M25 Route For Gravel Riders 10:49 New ‪@sellesanmarco1935‬ Short Fit All-Road Saddle 11:53 Reflecting on the Gravel Route 13:22 Mid-Ride Check-in & Some Stats 15:23 Bike Spotlight: Ribble Ultra Grit 16:28 The Logistical Challenge 18:53 Pressing On & Changes In The Standings 25:41 Struggling With The Heat 30:46 The Home Stretch & Final Thoughts 31:42 Jenson Approaches The Finish 36:23 The Results: Jenson’s Incredible Time Useful Links: Join this channel to get access to perks 👉 https://gcn.eu/JoinYTmemberships Subscribe so you don’t miss a thing! 👉 https://gcn.eu/subscribe Insurance: Viewers in the USA and UK can explore GCN Insurance products 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNinsurance Sign Up To The GCN Newsletter 👉 https://gcn.eu/Newsletter GCN Uploader 👉 https://gcn.eu/gcnuploader Visit the GCN Shop 👉 https://gcn.eu/gcnshop GCN WhatsApp Channel 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNwhatsapp GCN Instagram Broadcast Channel 👉 https://gcn.eu/instagrambroadcast Join the GCN Club on Zwift and ride with us! 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNClubRides If you had 24 hours and a bike, what kind of distance challenge would you take on?
