Hi GCN. I am a 12 year old cyclist from Australia and this video inspired me to do my own 12 hour indoor cycling challenge. I did 330 kms in 12 hours averaging about 28 km/h.

@Deepboy666 I guess chances of catching the virus are much much higher in Italy than somewhere in the middle of nowhere in the UK. Also, I live 40km away from Germany's first epicenter and yet there are 0 cases in my village and less than 50 cases in the next bigger city and since the virus is not airborne I guess you really have to be in contact with a person having it in order to contract it. I'm glad I stopped working on time (went on holidays on March 1) otherwise I would have 100% gotten it.

Hank is so game, I love his attitude. We do love to see him suffer but it’s because we’re willing him to make it through and come out the other side celebrating. Amazing achievement brother!

Watching this my brain went straight to The Ramones,: “Twenty-twenty-twenty-four hours to go, I wanna be Sedated, Nothing to do, Nowhere to go, I wanna be sedated”. Fantastic work Hank, particularly loved the Neighbour-Cam Broom Wagon.

The other presenters talk a good game. Hank is the real deal. Great job Hank.

Just watched this, been looking forward since this was mentioned on GCN show. So much respect, people think I'm nuts doing more than 6 hours on a bike often. However I struggle to get to 2 hours on Zwift. The mental toughness alone is astounding. Inspirational. Sleep for a week dude, you deserve it. Awesome GCN vids. Between this and the other GCN challenges you step up to - you have my respect.

Hours outside, free with the wind vs inside on the torture rack. I can't stand it. I've actually cancelled my Zwift because it was so depressing. Now I just use simple (non-game) training apps to get my workout in. If it's cold and I want to ride, then I'm bundling up and riding, even in the snow. This is so crazy. I hope he doesn't keep doing this stuff too often, because he'll crack eventually.

Hank, you are amazing! Unbelievable effort, congrats. But it’s just insane to do this without a rockaplate.

I just did my first century today and was riding for 6h 35m and I'm pretty achy...kudos to you, Hank! That is a massive physical accomplishment!

Just started biking a few months ago and this channel is amazing! Hank you are a BEAST, giving me inspiration over here! This looks unimaginable

I love this channel, it got me started on cycling, and has given me numerous tips and the will to get fitter. Always looking foward to new videos!

24h on a trainer must be absolute torture. 6 hours has been the longest i've done in zwift (prl full) and at the end of it my derriere was totally wrecked. Might be the static position versus riding outdoors. Hats off to you, Hank. What a legend.

Absolutely astounding! Brilliant effort - I’m done indoor riding after 90 mins absolute max. Nice place you have there too.

Fantastic and ridiculous! Bravo for sticking it out and seeing it through. 🎩👍 For anyone inspired, I heartily recommend the Le Mans 24H Velo event for letting you try this outdoors and in the best possible riding conditions. Have at it!

I'm so proud of Hank! Mental fortitude and perseverance; physically he can do it but there would have been so many demons telling him to quit throughout - then to push on the extra 50 minutes was pure class man... mammoth effort chap! 🙌

Still pretty tough though. This was way more brutal! Kudos on completing it with the distance and NO SLEEP!!!

Very impressive!!!! I struggle with 2 hour indoor ride. Did a century once on a spin bike for charity. You are the MASTER OF PAIN

I agree, it'd be fun if GCN fielded a RAAM team and Si could let his hair get crazy and drive the Chevy van. And I'd cheer for them as the route is, literally, a quarter-mile from my apartment in Central Pennsylvania. But I wouldn't expect them to notice me as this is near the end and by the time the competitors get here, they are pretty much toast. Like a few years ago, Christoph didn't even take his eyes off the road when I stepped off the curb with cheers and applause outside the local McDonald's on Route 16. He probably thought, man, I don't have any time for that kook. And I was okay with it, he was in the zone and soon another victory would be his. And that whole RAAM deal is amazing, tho' I'd prefer that each day be treated as a personal stage, each start at the same time in the morn and close with the same bedroll time. I'm not a fan of riding on public roads without sleep.

Congrats! New achievement. Your mind is so strong! Your dad must be proud of you

Hank, you are an absolute BEAST. Respect man!

Besides - how did this whole get into your back seat? Do I wanna know?

I''m just as impressed at the amount of mini sausage rolls he managed to eat in 24 hours

that's absolutely insane - I can't begin to imagine how brutal that was - physically its super tough but mentally its another level. 4 hour ride outside is nice weekend ride - 4 hours on Zwift is pain cave...so 24 hours! omg... chapeau

Congrats! Hank, that was a monumental challenge, well done man! Ride on
