Agree. Whoever shot this, and especially edited it, are unsung heroes. Great work.

Brilliant video!! I also did it solo, and had the pleasure of riding/chatting with Rich for a few a sections. The video really captures the event. Excellent camerawork.

One of the best and inspirational MTB films ive seen in a while

Rich`s ability to always stay positive even in the worst of times is amazing! He is one of kind! Great ride!

What Hank is to GCN, Rich is to GMBN. A true challenge monster. Total respect and admiration here. What an inspiration. I got a bit emotional at the end when he finished, all mud covered and exhausted. Well done Rich. Kudos!!!👍❤

Rich when you do these kinds of events, you don't just entertain us, but you inspire us. So, yes you should absolutely do more of these events. You make me want to get out more on my mtb and actually clock more miles in rather than just head down the trails...

That was beyond impressive....great video...that was very extreme...I don't think I could ever train enough to finish that race...cheers to all the competitors ....🇨🇦

Congratulations to Rich' & the team! Think that was the best GMBN video I've seen yet.

Remarkable ride and shared perspective. Great job Rich! The video production was top notch with the transitions and overlays. Just super well done and a pleasure to watch given the grueling effort of a 24-hour race.

Thanks a ton! So much effort goes into these epic challenge videos! Rich smashed this race! 7th is crazy good!

*** Curiosity question I’ve always wanted to ask *** For epic events like this, was this something Rich wanted to do and went to GMBN about, or is this something GMBN wanted to film and asked one of their presenters to compete in?

I'd bet anything it's rich who wants to do these things. On GCN, it's Hank who's their endurance/challenge guy and both of these guys seem to genuinely love to push themselves to new heights.

Hey Ross! Thanks for the support! Rich smashed this race out of the park! We couldn't be prouder! Yeah, the word "race" increases the intensity of the event so much! 😅

This is why he and Hank are the best presenters, great video!! 👍👍👍 I’d love to have half the engine these boys have. Brilliant.

What a race! What an effort to attempt it! Great ride. Great rider. Great support team. Great filming and editing. All in all exemplary. Thank you Rich, Amy and the rest of the crew.

Awesome job! Would love to see you do more races like this. Thx for sharing!

Rich , great video , you never cease to amaze me. Your heart and determination going into these extreme events . I will always watch . Amiee is an awesome with her support and keep you on pace ❤

Inspirational is all I have to say!! Always great to see you take on these challenges with such gusto! Well done to you and your crew Richard, great Video GMBN!

Great stuff Rich. 👍 Your grit and determination to complete the race was epic. 7th place 😎 Excellent video GMBN Much respect to all that entered the Strathpuffer 24.

No words can describe how much respect i have for you Richard. In these harsh conditions. Just amazing ! Well done !

Hell of an achievement Rich, well done to all involved in support and the team.

This was a incredible Adventure! Rich congrats for taking this until the end! Is is realy scary to think off such numbers. The video edditing and capture is something else👌 Great Work!

I love it how you push through on these challenges. Amazing and Inspirational.

Great job Rich, congratulations on a very respectable ride Sir! It was a pleasure to watch your experience even though you were miserable. Endurance racing is a bit of a staple here in Ogden Utah. Many world class athletes live and train here for some of the toughest races in the world. I wonder how the Strathpuffer would compare to what I consider the toughest MTB race in the world, La Ruta de los Conquistadores. This race is the bench mark for endurance MTB racing. It would be wonderful if you could do a story about La Ruta de los Conquistadores and Roman Urbina, a living Legend! Well good Sir, Cheers! - M

A fantastic video .. well done to everyone involved.

Rich and the GMBN crew are amazing!!!

This video and The Tech behind The scenes is The best from GMBN for a looooong time! Thank you, this was really entertaining

Very inspiring. I love all your XC long distance videos. Planning on doing an 16 hour trail ride myself this season

This one is wild! Good job Rich and congratulations!

Rich Payne still bringing the pain and what a brilliant effort and having such a wonderful partner who supported his efforts all the way and the GMBN camera crew, great filming. Great video Rich.

Wow, massive effort, Rich and the crew! I have a whole new level of admiration for you! This is one to be remembered, that's for sure! 🎉👏💪

Wowww Rich!!! Absolutely amazing race. Great job, and congrats to you and the team.

Awesome achievement. Well done... and of course, more please

Hats of to you for daily uploads, but the difference in production is so noticeable with these longer videos. Great film!

Epic, epic effort Rich. Such mental strength you should be very proud 👍🏻

Fantastic effort and race. Nice one.

Now that's worthy of a thumbs up. 👍 Stellar effort Rich. 💪👊 That's one of the best gmbn videos. No fluff, no bs.

Amazing edit and sum up of the event. Deffiantly relate to all the feelings. Was a pleasure to meet you Rich and to have you lap me out on course 😅.

Far out! That is a superhuman effort to Richard and everyone involved! Well done!

I almost didn't watch this but im super glad i did..excellent editing and production on this. Great racing

Top quality video, Rich and crew!

This was so good to watch. Well done 👍

Super effort. Great video!

Absolute beast Rich… brilliant as always 👌

Nice work all round. A professional film with an excellent athlete giving it his all. What an effort. 👍

Just huge respect for all involved.

Epic. NIce job, Rich!

I was going to say you should try the Arrowhead 135 race, but then you said, "Not if you are going to try to kill me". So, I guess that race is out of the question then. :)

Respect!! Well done!!

Rich you’re an absolute machine, great effort from yourself and the team.

wow amazing effort!! well done!

Well done, much respect!

Awesome Rich! Man that’s an inspiration to go further and for longer!! Brilliant production by the whole team. Next? Yak Attack? BC Bike Race? Or get on the gravel with Blake and dip the awesome Tour Divide? Now that would be some GMBN/GCN partnership? Hank anyone?😂

Great job!!

Epic man, well done. I appreciate mtb’ing with mud guards is not cool ( to some) but I am struggling with why you carry all that dirt around with you which is surely affecting your body temps. Brutal ride!

@stujm8376

Жыл бұрын

Surely the dirt would act as an insulator. As for mudguards not being cool, MTBers are naturally cool, so…

@nstrug

Жыл бұрын

Mudguards are additional failure points, which is why no racers (either on road or off) use them. They can clog up with mud and stones, sticks can get caught in the stays, or they can get rattled loose and foul the wheels.

It would be great to see Rich doing something like BC Bike Race. Really enjoyed both this and the tech video. Thanks, keep it up.

Great result! Great report! So motivating for us mortal cyclists!

Wow,.. that's awesome ride,.. so epic video shot ,.. thx for share

Absolutely brilliant.

That is an awesome achievement, incredible effort.

In the Netherlands we have something simulair called 'Drenthe 200'. it's on 28 of december. Not 24 hours though, unless you're really slow. The course this year was 209km, and it was extremely muddy, windy, rainy and cold. The winner did it in 7hr 27min 40sec.

Great racing Rich

No one is "trying to kill you" Rich, but....there is a certain sadistic pleasure in seeing you suffer🤣. Bring on more challenges I say because you are big enough to handle them. Well done.
