Record Chasing On A 5,000 Year Old Road! | 284km Gravel Epic

The Ridgeway is the UK’s oldest road, having been used as a route through Britain’s countryside for over 5,000 years. The fastest known time to cycle this ancient gravel pathway is a little over 13 hours, and Conor thinks he can go faster. The route is 284km, with over 4,000m of climbing and 85% is off-road. This ride broke him, but did Conor claim the FKT? Useful Links: GCN | Every. Unmissable.
