No, that's a bit too much for me. In winter I like riding on clean snow and playing roulette with ice.

These videos where the presenters are just having a blast are so joyful to watch.

I read cyclocross in the title, but all I've seen was James practicing his Olympic dive in a muddy pond. 😅

This video was just made for those of us who like watching Hank crash or scream.

Buy a new bike and repeat. Save the muddy ones for commuting so no one will want to steal them.

Hank going into the cold water full blast and then over his bars takes some serious stones. Legend

Seeing the 2 of you enjoying yourself to the fullest while playing in a pond didn't only make my day but my whole month! Thanks for cheering all of us up wih your videos! Cycling rocks!

What amaze me from all of GCN videos are how good their presenters are! They could talk easily after these pedaling they did! Being new to cycling community, I really dig these contents.

You guys are seriously having so much fun, the best I get from my CX bike is riding country lanes on my daily commute to work and back.

This may be the most enjoyable video I’ve watched on GCN. It’s literally about playing in the mud with your bike. I’m now rethinking my next bike purchase.

Just bought a CX bike and went for my first ride today. Paths, roads, gravel...and then I came to a snowy park that still had sled jumps built. You better believe I got airborne a few times on those jumps! As a roadie (mainly crit racer), it will be a great way to continue to ride outside year round while at the same time, maintaining the same position and riding style as road. I have an old MTB, and it’s fun too, but it’s just so different. My cross boss is basically my road bike with fatter tires and that I can ride pretty much anywhere except single track

Recently got into Cyclocross. Got myself a 2nd hand PlanetX Cyclocross Bike and I absolutely love it! More comfortable on long road rides and you can literally turn off a road onto a gravel/mud track and see stuff you wouldn't normally see!

These two are forming a great duo! Thx Alex and Hank!

That was totally awsome guys.. I laughed my head off. I have just gotten into bike riding and because I live in the country. I decided to buy a cross country bike as there is hundreds of kilometres and tracks. I am hoping to go tomorrow. Watching this channel really gives me inspiration to get out there loose some weight and enjoy cycling. Well done and keep this up. Col from Traralgon (Victoria) Australia.

Just pure unbridled fun down in the dirt! Man, I can't remember when was the last time I've been this way. Alone or with a friend.

Fabulous. The enthusiasm is infectious....

This must be the most fun had per minute or mile in any gcn video ever, hahaha. I love it, Hank and Alex are a great presenter combo!

Awesome fun going over that varied soft-muddy-terrain. Do-able on a bike with rim brakes but much for predictable with disc brakes. Great to see GCN team highlighting the need to have fun and not just speed. Also great point about riding on road producing greater wind-chill because of the sustained speeds of the bikes on the roads.That's why typically MTB and road riders can have differing clothing and layering systems. 👍

I like to think that Hank carries his OTT enthusiasm through to everyday things, like making toast or solving a crossword puzzle. It's just pure joy :D

That might just be the greatest cycling video ever made, I haven't laughed so much in ages, you're both nuts 😂

You guys keep having fun :-). I will continue to enjoy this from my nice and warm living room.

Was SHOUT LAUGHING like a little girl seeing You guys dipping in the ditch head first! Thanks! You made my day!

what a very fun video from you guys! Really enjoyed it, keep it up guys!

Inspirational and a blast, thank you!

Look at the best pros now...most have a cross background. The skills are amazing to me! Be safe thank you!

Absolutely love your Grevil!

Great video guys with lots of effort. Especially the dive in the mud pot 👍👌✌🏻

Loved the video - it's exactly what I do with my gravel bike - any terrain and the muddier the better, makes me feel like a kid again. Until I get home and my wife squirts me with the hose outside to clean off :( Nice job!

Frikkin' hilarious ... best bit for me, Alex's grinning face when it dawned on him how mad crazy fun Hank really is!! :-D

Great one boys, nothing like a bit of mud, big puddles, slipping and sliding, fresh air and being out n'about.

Love this so much!

Great fun, makes you a better rider and gives you riding options in the winter. Rather than just training indoors you can RIDE outside. You can generally tell CX riders in the club as they look more confident in tricky situations

Great video - Best moment after Alex hit the mid stream really muddy patch was Hank hitting it with twice as much power....Comedy genius moment!! Full marks for balls out effort to you both!!!

Top video, lads. I've never laughed so loud at a KZread vid than I did when Hank went over the bars 🤣

Seems bloody cold! But much fun. Props also to the camera guys

🎉 GCN keep it up. Bless all ride and your video.

I have a great recommendation for you two! GMBN, they've been doing this kinda stuff for years!... haha love it

What a fun with this ride!!!! I will go tomorrow for a ride. Thanks guys!

Fun fun fun.. just got a CX machine.. getting out on it in the snow is ace.. new GCN dynamic duo too.. cheers lads 👍🏻

I love cyclocross, this makes me want to get over to my local park and ride 🤣

Love Cross. My favorite discipline of them all!. Takes a little bit of crazy.

Thanks Hank.. 8:30.. for my 1st belly laugh of 2021! Epic fun video!

Ive had my cross bike for several years now and i still love it, i am a belgian so i grew up with cross, unfortunatally i never got the chance to participate in a race, but once i get a 2nd cross bike and my fitness lvl higher i might have a go tho

Well done Boys brilliant fun, I remember CX Racing and having great fun, a brilliant way to keep fit during the Winter months 😎

Hank riding into that river like he's riding into 2021!! Go on lad

Those trails are local to me and feel so much better it’s not just me falling off in the mud (like yesterday).

There has never been a better ad for the Muc Off Power Washer. That was great fun to watch.

now this is the content i subscribed for !!!

i'm supposed to be saving money, you guys have convinced me to buy a new cyclocross bike, can't wait!!!

i just discovered the beauty of CX. Got some perfect loop near my home. This is sooooo fun to ride. And even if you fall it's not big deal, since you fall on a grass or sand :).

So fun to check these "winter" videos here.. It was -19 for morning ride today :)

Hank and Alex having a great time in the mud 😂 happy as pigs in **** !

Great mud battle ...I love it...Cross ist the best!

I’m using this video to convince my wife to let me buy a gravel bike. As always, great video GCN and always enjoy watching Hank!

oh boy this video made my day! you guys are crazy and hilarious! 😂😂😂😂😂 golden moments! 😁😁☺️☺️👍👍

Awesome episode!

Really love your enthusiasm and sense of humour, you rock guys, I’ve laughed my balls out😂

I’m missing being on the roads at the moment but it’s just unpleasant and unsafe right now - so Zwift it is but tempered with a fun hour or so blast on the cross bike to keep the bike handling and heart/soul together is a much needed addition. I don’t live far from where this (and a lot of GCN vids) was filmed so, thank god I have access to trails like this too... think I’d go mad otherwise... I miss CX racing... hopefully this next winter...

This is the best video ever I’m both loling and impressed in a good way 😆🙂awesome guys flipin awesome fun

I love it! It's exactly why I didn't know what type of bike to buy! (got a hybrid in April, as it was similar to the old Mountain bike I grew up with, but just ordered my first road bike) Old school mountain biking! The old Rigid frame, no big jumps, just speed and a bit of slip, but on those cross, does require more skill than a modern mountain bike. I take my hybrid on similar tracks, with 32mm slick's, or 42mm minimal grip. It's fun, but with the proper tires it's faster but more boring! I think it was invented because, you were either a roadie, or not, and as time has gone on the gap widened making the old Mountain bike, either a modern Hybrid or a the road version, a Gravel or cross bike, which with except for the handlebars is exactly the same as my OLD Rigid Mountain bike.

That's the funniest clip on GCN ... Hank going over the bars into cold water!!

Best video ever. I really liked that. And will look for a nice cross bike.

Great cross bike challenge video guys you 2 cracked me up 😂

Epic skid by Alex there 👏👏👏

You’re like a pair of 12 years kids!’ That’s why I enjoyed it so much. 🤣🤣

awesome tug and roll into the water :D

just come back 8 miles. mud and road, o and ice. great fun.

All credit to you guys, looks like you had terrific fun & Hank's level of commitment to get the furthest across that pond was epic! But wouldn't it have been a bit easier on bikes with more knobbly tires & wider bars - e.g. an MTB?

These first 50 seconds are just pure cycling inspiration

Fun watching you two goofballs doing it,but I would rather stay mud-less,thanks! Sticking to my road bike! (Finished 200KM ride for the first time yesterday)

I Love GCN♥️💯

KevB Gravel bikes are most of the time heavier bikes meant for long exploring rides. Light cross bikes you use in the mud on a parkour that repeats itself multiple times with plenty of obstacles you have to know inside out.

@@pieterm.7615 yeah, I think this is the thing that some people miss. Cyclocross is a race discipline. A cyclocross bike is like a WRC rallye car - great at what it does but you don’t want to use it as your daily driver. A gravel bike is the practical version you would actually want to use for everything but racing- like a Ford Focus RS.

Very nice promotional video for CX!!!!

well my location is pretty dry so I couldn't make like that but I've always taking my roadbike to some of my town downhill/enduro/trail and have fun on it

Over the handlebars lol classic Hank but gotta love the commitment

Looks quite pleasant out in the UK!

Happy new year GCN team & GTN team

I have a feeling we're going to be seeing that dive in a 2021 recap video. Hilarious!

I ride crossrides everyday! I enjoy most the mud!

Hank must of FROZE after falling in that pond 🤣🤣

i am about to buy my first proper roadbike as soon as bike shops are open again in germany... great... now i want a crossbike too...

Niiiiice! Beats any cycling in front of a screen. Now, do the same in rhe snow...

That’s what my gravel rides look like at this time of year anyway.

I'm having blast on my Scott Addict CX RC the washing machine is taking a bit of a battering lately.

Hilarious video, GCN. I really LOL.

So at the end of a day, how does Alex really feel about being enrolled in the Hank GCN Presenter Development Program.

I tried using my fixie for cyclo-cross in Epping forest and was so much fun but a bit too much mud for half of it to be ride able

You guys need Jeremy to show you a good CX time in the wild is really all about. Bring him across the pond or vice versa asap.

That looks like a lot of fun....let me change my pedals though, not too confident doing it with clipless.
