Can We Break A 51 Year Old Record? Super Nerds On Super Bikes

The Super Nerds are BACK to take on a legendary Road Records Association (RRA) challenge: breaking a 51-year-old cycling record from Cardiff to Monmouth and back. Armed with modern superbikes, aero gear, and a track-stand strategy, the trio aims to beat the formidable time of 3 hours and 12 minutes set back in 1975. However, they soon discover that modern traffic and an abundance of red lights might just be the ultimate record-killer!
