40km In 50 Minutes!? We Ride The World's Fastest Bike Course

Riding 25 miles in under 50 minutes was once considered an unbreakable cycling barrier, famously shattered by Alf Engers in 1978. The GCN Super Nerds are teaming up with Conor Dunne as their DS to see if modern aero road bikes, smart training, and live communication are enough to average 30mph on one of the world’s fastest courses. Can they beat the clock, or will the traffic and the uphill finish ruin their attempt? 🤝 In partnership with: @senatechnologies 👉 https://gcn.eu/BiKom20 @wahoofitness 👉 http://gcn.eu/Wahoo-Fitness @Insta360 ⏱️ Timestamps ⏱️ 00:00 - The 30mph Challenge 00:42 - The History of the "50" 02:49 - Secret Weapons: Tech & Comms 04:16 - The Training Test 07:35 - Race Strategy & Safety 10:12 - Bike Check: Is This Cheating? 13:55 - The Challenge Begins 16:42 - The Suffering Starts 20:55 - The Final Drag to the Line 23:50 - Did We Make It?
