Thanks for all the comments and amazing feedback on the new End to End documentary on GCN+. Lots of you asking ‘where is the tandem?!’ as this is shown in the trailer (see previous Instagram post). Part 2 of this series will be out next week. If you thought Land’s End to John O’Groats at an average speed of 23mph was tough, wait till you see the tandem 😬. It’s a record that has only been broken once since 1966, and I now know why! Thanks @jamesl_w for a great fun summer of suffering. And to @argon18bike and @rideshimano for the race machines. If you are new to the party, you can find GCN+ by typing ‘racepass’ into your web browser and signing up for @globalcyclingnetwork - enjoy

Just realised it was 4 years ago today that we rolled into Paris in 78 days, 14 hours and 40 minutes. To be honest it feels a lot longer than that - so much has happened since then. I guess all us will have a AC & PC life. (Ante-Covid & Post-Covid!)

On the finish line both my daughters were pre-school, they are both now primary years, We (@niccibeaumontstudio) have moved house twice and there have been many more adventures and twists in my career.

But this moment will always remain my Everest, the time I truly put all my cards on the table and went for broke. Great memories of a superb team. Laura Penhaul, my head of performance now runs @adapt_perform, Mike Griffiths, my head of logistics now runs @veloultra, Una is still my mum 😆 (but back then ran ‘Base Camp’ and co-ordinated about forty people), my 🎥 crew @johnnyswanepoel and @helmut_hr_scherz are doing grand and busy in South Africa, the team at @moonsport_ then created the documentary which can be seen on @GCN+ @globalcyclingnetwork. Artemis were my title sponsors and I remain in regular contact with - thanks to them for believing.

So many people played a part in this crazy project - 4 years on I’m in touch with most of you, and I remain hugely grateful that you all took care of the world, so I could take care of riding my bike around it 🌍

When will this record be broken? As a kid I was inspired by Ellen MacArthur - how fast can you make it around the globe. Once borders open again, people can start pedalling around the planet again… and I hope I get to see someone trying to go faster. It’s definitely possible… if you are willing to put all your cards on the table and really go deep!

Thanks team. 4 years on. Keep dreaming big 💪🏻 🥂

Superb catching @teamdolly aka Mel Nicholls on her #racearoundbritain as she passed through Edinburgh.

I rode a similar circumnavigation of the British coastline in 2017 in the build up to the 80 Days project, and can assure you it is a hugely hilly route - and Mel has had similarly tough weather conditions.

Fantastic endurance from the World Record holder for Land’s End to John O’Groats by handbike - 6 days, 22 hours and 17 minutes.

If you live down the east and south coast of England watch out for Mel as her journey continues.

#ExploreYourBoundaries - this series of lockdown inspired rides continues, encouraging people to find new routes around their local area.

I am particularly interested in creating routes away from the tourist hotspots, showing gravel & road routes that can be explored by foot or bike.

Day 1 of filming with @reizkultur around Falkirk has been surprising and hugely varied riding. Enjoy the photos.

With support from @visitfalkirk @helixfalkirk @falkirkcommunitytrust @antoninewall @corbie_inn @richmondparkhotel

Riding my @argon18bike Dark Matter equipped with @shimanogravel GRX Di2

The full route can be found on my @komoot Collections

I’ve been riding Shimano components my entire career - apart from that one time I used an internal hub system! Grateful to be an ambassador for @rideshimano and very excited to get my hands on these new road group-sets.

Next generation DURA-ACE and ULTEGRA. Wireless where it matters, more aero, direct engagement hubs, improved braking, faster shifting and power meters at Ultegra!

There's a lot to get excited about here. I know links don’t work on Insta so copy the following for a closer look >>

Unpacking from #GBDuro21 and assessing the damages.

Who knew that a 2000km gravel race could be quite so tough on kit and body?!

What a stunning explore of the British Isles on the paths less trodden, turning up every hillside in sight - a staggering 30,700 meters of ascent in just 135 hours of riding.

Thanks for the support from @shimanogravel, @argon18bike, @vango.outdoor, @enduraofficial and @oakleybike - I might be needing some new parts before the next adventure 😎

A chance to de-brief after a crazy adventure at #GBDURO21 with @gravel_union

Type your questions in the comments below - what would you like to know about the setup or the race itself - or you can ask on the LIVE stream in the chat function. Some amazing comments on the content over the last 10 days - thanks to all you dot watchers and well wishers. I loved my maiden race, although it was even tougher than I expected.

A big well done to @reizkultur for all his edits, filming, photography and social media posting. I was busy racing me bike!

Great support from @shimanogravel to be able to make this happen and in a way that was separate from my ride. It was super important to stick to the unsupported ethos by the @theracingcollective

See you on the live stream - which we will post online afterwards for those who miss it.
