These Europeans Think Cycling In The UK Is S**t

Ollie takes Alan and Bernat to the heart of the Lake District to prove that cycling in England is anything but rubbish by tackling the legendary Fred Whitton Challenge. With gradients reaching a massive 33% and iconic passes like Honister and Hardknott standing in their way, can our international riders survive 112 miles of brutal British terrain? Watch to see if they conquer the climbs and finally earn their reward: a classic English "chippy tea."
