I hate bike packing, fun to watch video but I hate carrying all that junk! Edit: that's not really bike packing that's Holiday Inn tripping 😂

@gmbn it would have to be France! Endless landscapes, great food and drink, nice people (if you speak the language). What's not to like!

Legends say due to Owens oddities, this two day adventure took three days to film.

More adventures with Owen please. Entertaining and knowledgeable for the viewers to watch.

Owen is fantastic, what a wealth of knowledge - good to see him fitting in with the team!

Best GMBN film for a long time 🤗🤗🤗

Neil is better than Owen, but despite that good vid. I guess Own is Martmite .. not my cuppa

Yes finally we get to watch Owen ride! Owen is the Ollie of GMBN. 🤣

Loved this adventure with Owen. Welcome to the team dude 🎉😊

Owen is great! I love meeting people full of knowledge like that. They are so interesting to talk to.

FINALLY!!! Owen in the wild!

Owen+Blake = Dream Team 👍 More trips to come hopefully 🤞😊🚲

Owen is brilliant- more Owen please

Less please - more Neil 😀😀

What a treat this film was. A new double act is born. More Owen and Blake please....

Blake,Owen,GMBN,thanks so much for such an epic ride.That would be great to experience.Owen welcome to the presenter team,great addition.

I really think his nickname should be "Fun-fact" ❤ great to see Owen out for a trip 😊

You will definitely have to get Owen out more the poor lad, I feel for him. More of these types of videos please, I enjoyed every second.

A long time coming and so deserved, congratulations Owen! 👊 - Loved the video!

Love these adventures guys, pubs, local history and British engineering.

great to see Owen out on the bike and what a great ride - love riding the Wiltshire trails - Owens oddities and Blake being just a beautiful person out in the countryside riding bikes - nice :)

Absolutely loved these two together on an adventure. Would love to see more adventures from Blake & Owen.

Leave your bikes unlocked outside the pub while you go inside for lunch and they are still there when you get back, amazing!

Yeah i do it all the time around here in Wiltshire, not much danger at a quiet village pub of it getting stolen.

Owen isa really great addition to GMBN, same as Rich was. Two really good banters them.

Thank you Blake and Owen for visiting Salisbury and showing how beautiful our city and the county side round here is.

I always assumed Owen was on Tech because nobody had managed to make a helmet strong enough to contain his luscious locks.

As a side note, Owen’s Luscious Locks could be the name of a new video series where he rides the canals of Britain.

@komoonkh

Or it might be a video about bike locks. You know, some luscious ones.

That was awesome. You guys have so many great riding options there. Owen should do a historical video on how the UK bought into making all these biking opportunities.

Been to Stonehenge a few times. Very cool place! Salisbury is a very cool town too. Thanks for showing us around the south of England a bit.

Your welcome Brendan. Glad you liked it dude

Great video Fun and informative . Had not heard that bit about the sharpness of Flint before . I only thought is was for killing the white walkers in Game of Thrones :).

That looked like way too much fun, which I've come to expect from Blakes videos. Welcome to the team Owen, great fun video.

Nice video, Owen is great and an excellent addition to the team. Thanks for doing this adventure on bicycles, by the way. Something I shouldn't have to say, but since this channel has recently been turning in to a second EMBN channel, I appreciate that you didn't use motorcycles for this adventure.

Looked like you guys had fun. Also love Owens oddities!

Owen is the James May of GMBN.

Owen's Oddities, we need more of those in biking adventures. Just make sure he has more tea and snacks to stop the bonk. Blake as always, just a fun loving bloke doing fun loving things.

Fantastic video guys. Awesome history tidbits.

Love it! Owen on a bike! He reminds me of my riding buddy...always goes on,on,on and on talking. Maybe now him and Ollie from GCN together? Oh thats 2 MUCH!! LOL

More of Owen’s Oddities please. These two are hilarious together 😂

Great content. Was getting a bit burnt out of your regular stuff.

Want more Owen, NEED more Owen. just made my whole week better!!! Way to go GMBN!🤩

"It's like MIPS....." Hilarious!

This was great, as was the recent Traws Eryri video. More like these please! They remind me of the videos that got me hooked on GMBN and GCN in the first place.

Love bike packing videos ! Please more

PLEASE make these riding history tours Owens 'thing' on the channel. I'll watch every single one just to learn about the great grey UK.

This was a treat to watch two great characters i would love to see more Owen and Blake adventures around Britain and Ireland. Watch out for them puddles Owen 😂.

Finally Owen showing up Blake by "Shredding the Gnar " like a Boss .......outstanding ride lads

I flippin love this. You got two characters completely different. Going on a bike ride and enjoying themselves. The measured in wrinkles comment got me laughing! I also think blake should have a side hussle. "A day on the bike with blake" do tours.. id pay a ton of money to have blake as a tourguide for a day! 😂

With all his information, Owen would be a great guide too.

Big up Wiltshire! Beautiful county, so glad I live here. Was especially helpful during covid, so much space to get out on the bike!

Amazing! One day I hope to give either Owen or Blake a high five! Such cool dudes.

That was brilliant!. More like this please. Maybe a GMBN Tech video on the kit required to go bike packing on a mountain bike. Maybe something that would cover bigger loads if you wanted to camp out vs hotel stays. I want to go bike packing, but I don't want to buy a touring bike, or a gravel bike to do it. You rarely see videos about bike packing on a MTB. PS: More of Owen riding bikes! Such a great guy.

Great to see Owen out and about and also to see the kind of riding that so many UK mtb’ers do.

Great video, for me mountain biking is also about touring, bike parks are great but touring is just amazing for stopping off at pubs or finding hidden single tracks. Still so much better than being a roadie!

What a cracking ride, parents grew up around Devizes and Alton Barnes and I’ve lived locally over the years too. What an adventure and full of interesting oddities.

These two and Rich on a field trip should be good for a laugh. Well done gents.

More Owen Please? I don't live in the UK, and I appreciate the Local knowledge as i plan a last? trip from Canada

I used to live in Salisbury. Nice to see shots of my old stomping ground. Another oddity for Owen: the cathedral is home to one of the last original and best preserved copies of the Magna Carta.

@11:30 looked like the scene when Danny Macaskill rode into, under water and out of the farm road puddle.

Was Owen allowed to pull his bike out of that puddle? "On no account should any object be moved or touched. IT MAY EXPLODE."

That was so good

Gosh if this was filmed in the last few weels I'm moving fantastic weather 👍

Man, what a dream! It would be so awesome to ride with Owen and learn about the history of everything there. Thank you for making this video! Oh, just one little disappointment ... Blake isn't riding the crab.

Great trip!

Nice vid. Two completely different personalities on a good, longish ride. 👍👍for Owen and Blake( not necessarily in that order)

Bike packing and hotel are not words I often see together......... Although I do approve 😂

Owen grows on you like that strange character in a series who becomes your favorite part of the show

Loved this ❤ 🔥 💪

Well, that was a good history lesson 😂

Interesting watch, I'm from warminster area. You should check out Shearwater and Longleat forest..... gnarly old trails....

Different... Nice! 👍

🤣 Great couple. They should do a 3 day group biketrip with all the presenters,

Owen is the James May of GMBN and it's amazing 😁

An inventor and a scientist going on a bike ride 🤟

Owen is def good for the channel as ye seems like one of us (apart from his knowledge of everything) I mean he is just a super fit MTB rider 👏

That looked like an ace bike packing trip - my choice? Probably West Highland Way Scotland would like to do it all have done bits its great, thanks for sharing was fab 😁🚵‍♂️👍

Awesome video! It makes me want to go back to the UK. Salisbury Cathedral is one of my favorite cathedrals in all of Europe. I am planning a bike trip for western Colorado and Moab, Utah this year. ✌️

Welcome Owen! Actually….Owen and Conor would be AMAZING together as they both like to do history facts while biking!

You need to look at the ISM saddles. Saddles are always a bone of contention, but the touring saddle is awesome. No mucking about with creams & you can ride for hours without discomfort.

This ride is literally on my back door. I live very close to the hotel you stopped at

Very cool video!

wait a minute - owen not only fixes bikes but also rides em? mind blown ;)

delightful!

OWEN IS RIDING? IT CAN'T BE 😂

We need to see a presenter shredding video of Owen, that kinda thing anyway

great video, and so close to where i live.

Great vid! Be nice to have a link to a map for people to follow, looks like a great ride. I’m sure we could do it in a day without Owen’s oddities! lol. Well done lads.

Great duo!

And maybe lower his seat 1/2” or bring the seat forward a little. He looked to be reaching with his legs when he was pedaling. I really, really like Owen! He’s charming!

That's the helmet that protects his hair, he also needs one that protects his head.

Good on Blake for not strangling Owen lol. Very entertaining vidjeo👍👍

How much is the full Owen audio? I'll pay I swear

I thought you shouldn't share chamois cream. Great episode and editing!

Owen is great haha 👏🏽👏🏽

I Love these type of videos i just watch s This The UK’s Best Adventure Ride? | GMBN Rides The Traws Eryri Trail before this one need more of these

Straight pass my house in Staverton. Try riding the towpath in the Summer holidays 😂😂 your not getting very far, very fast

need a whole episode where its just owen yapping

Awesome video watched during my spin bike workout this morning. Is the route available on Kamoot or similar?

im lucky enough to live right next to Salisbury plain and boa and I honestly think its some of the best cx riding around

Yooo. What Garmin mount are you both using? Is it just a top cap mount? Cheers my beauty’s 🤙🏻🍻

Great vid, lots not too far from me in Swindon. Could you share GPX files when you do these routes 🙏

Fun fact: Pineapple is best on pizza when paired with hot banana pepper rings, pepperoni, and mushrooms. Ditch the ham.

I’ve stayed in many a Holiday Inn, through work, 4 a week all over the country. I’ve always been worried about my van being broken into and my tools being pinched. Where did you keep your muddy bikes? I can’t imagine the staff would be too happy you rolling it into your room? And I’d be buggered if I’m gunna keep it outside where someone would pinch it 😂

All you guys were missing were a couple of gravel bikes!! 😉😉

Shout out to the Salisbury plain mountain bikers (SPAM) rhe winter challenge was legend MTB event each year in he wind and often ice.

It’s Clarkson and May. Anyway…
