We Built A Velodrome! | GCN's Garden Hour Record



It’s been some time since a GCN presenter cycled as far as they could in an hour…and broke a record. So we challenged Conor to ride as far as he possibly could in an hour, with only one condition – it had to be in his back garden. Watch to find out what happened!

  1. Why didn’t you reach out to GMBN for help, they should know how to dig and dirt work. I would love to try that, an hour around and around, looks like a blast

  2. Take it further, I'd have loved this challenge as a young bike racer. It'd be great to see your local CC racing …. J

  3. Not sure why all the presenters make fun of Ollie? He’s the only non-pro, and has done some seriously impressive and tough rides. You’d imagine they’d cheer him on instead. They come off a bit like elitist jerks.

  4. Whoa, I thought pineapple pizza was just a swedish thing. People from other countries are often amused by it despite the sweet and sour pineapple balance off well with the salty ingredients.

  5. should've asked someone from GMBN to make the track, mountain bikers know how to make perfect berms

  6. This is build for James' next extended pain challenge 🥳. 12 hours for starters might be OK 🙂

  7. "That was good fun, though. The last 10 minutes was torture." Perfectly describes the cycling experience, lol.

  8. Utter madness! love it
    I hope this trend goes on and we see some serious garden velodrome building.
