Tandems, carbon fibre, adverse weather conditions, performance cookery and wee.
Frikkin' awesome!
Edit:
Guy also learns about the science of cooking for athletes with the Head of Nutrition at Team Sky, Nigel Mitchell, who instructs Guy to lose five kilos of weight and recommends a new diet regime.
Really? Mr Martin always looks pretty buff when I've seen him.

Yay! I still couldn't see a time for it.
Where/when? Not that I have a telly...
A week on Sunday I think. I could however be wrong.
Sounds good.
🙂
Could be the start of a whole new career for Jase.
Has anyone been cast in that Nobby Stiles biopic yet?
DOCUMENTARY: Speed with Guy Martin
On: Channel 4 (4)
Date: Sunday 26th October 2014 (starting in 11 days)
Time: 20:00 to 21:00 (1 hour long)
Speed junkie, motorcycle racer and lorry mechanic Guy Martin loves pushing the boundaries of speed in search of a buzz. He returns with a second series of Speed with Guy Martin, taking on four new speed-based challenges. From racing a motorbike at altitude to trying to break the speed record for a hovercraft, Guy wants to find out what makes things go fast by getting his hands dirty in a range of unique engineering projects.

Ta f't ed's up Chief. 😆
Nobby : The Musical?
[i]Doom Bar Doom Bar where are you
I like Doom Bar with a meaty Stew
Riding around up Vigo Hill attempting to be quick
Instead mistaking the profile and ending up sick
The dog drags me into the pub again at least thats my excuse
But really its pleasant being a person of limited use
Until the time comes to lend a hand at putting up a tent
Nobby Nobby please don't move to Stoke on Trent![/i]
I'm so excited that I could quite literally explode.
this has taken all year and hopefully the amount of fun we both had making this programme will be conveyed. It really has been the best thing I've ever done.
Squeezing in to a bath on wheels with a man from Lincolnshire?
Oh I hope so.
Sunday nights recently have been crying out for wheeled bathtub shenanigans.

yes. Every minute of the 10 or so days we spent filming and pissing about has been utterly MINT.
Are you on the great man's Christmas card list now then ? 🙂
Can I have your autograph, please, mister?
Should get good viewing figures.
Let's face it, there's been nothing to please that demographic since Last Of The Summer Wine was cancelled.
EDIT-
Bugger, beaten by a policeman.
I'll speak to my brief.
It'll be Strictly next, mark my words...
😀

I never bloody touched you!!
I never bloody touched you!!
I will say he fell down a flight of stairs for a tenner, and Terrahawk's signature.
Can I have my laces back please?
Better than organising Hit the North? - Oh o.k then 🙂It really has been the best thing I've ever done.
Really looking forward to seeing this and I'm a girl.
Have you warned the landlord at The Church that he can expect Monday Night Pub Rides to draw some extra attention from now on?

@terrahawk Suddenly all that 'great fun that you couldnt speak about' and recumbent cycling in Wigan all makes sense!
I'm currently reading his autobiography - any chance that you could get him to sign it? Its the kindle version so i can just email it over... 😀
Where do we buy the Terrahawk t-shirts?
now there's an idea. t shirts covered in all my favourite swear words.
Considering terrahawk wupped his arse at Strathpuffer, he must be a little embarrassed to call it 'Speed with Guy Martin'!
Mind you 'Speed with Terrahawk' conjures up some odd mental images!
Maybe 'Terrahawk on Speed' would have been a better title...

they would have had to have filmed me 26 or so years ago for that.

Careful. You're a celeb now, the press will be all over that statement.
material for my memoirs.
FFS Kryton, that's absolute shite.
(What tune is it to?). 🙂
1 hour warning bump
Waiting with Sunday dinner scented baited breath....

He seems like a good bloke, but for the previous records I couldn't help but think that if there'd been even some attempt to find a decent club cyclist (at least for the HPA and bike speed efforts) then they'd likely have fared better. That said, I guess it's really just about television, not some outright attempt for the best possible record, and he does make good TV.
Recumbents!
Now there's a man who's learnt everything he knows from waiting at the top of every hil for a bunch of northern fat nackers who just want to get to the pub 🙂
"Sun's out. Gun's out"
Oh dear!!!
What were you thinking??!!
I'm spent after seeing them both hot and sweaty in a towel
*fwaps*
So this sports nutritionist guy's trying to tell them the ideal recovery food isn't cheese on toast?
Yeah, like.... Whateveeeeeeer
Recumbents!
I used to race recumbents and know both Mike Burrows and Miles Kingsbury. To cut a long story short, recumbents are faster. An unfaired one will give you a small gain over a normal bike, say 3 to 4 mph. Smoothing out the airflow behind gives a decent gain, you're now 10 mph faster. Bolt on a nose cone for another 5 mph. The real slick streamliners are fast as f@ck. At the World Champs in 96 on a 30k time trial I was doing a steady 28 mph on my unfaired bike, the top riders on full streamliners were cruising over 60.
...and he seem's to have forgotten about the cafe/pub stop!
3 Northern monkeys trying to pronounce quinoa 😆
I can only hope that there was an award winning pork pie in that musette

why if he's such good nutritionist why is he so <cough> [i]big[/i] <cough>
They must really love you, to hug ya before a shower!
So how come with the weather forecast did you not postpone it?
Really enjoyed that! 🙂

That was 'kin awesome. Terrahawk you're a legend, best bit of tv I've watched in years. Well done to you both
Top man Terrahawk. That was a good watch.
Fantastic job Terrahawk!!
Out of interest was the helmet wearing in the recumbent for the telly, or were you actually racing wearing them? Just thinking they can't of helped on the temperature front.
Though I guess if you're sat in a pool of wee for 24 hours, that's probably least of your worries 🙂
I should also say, i've not laughed that hard at the telly for absolutely ages!
Very good. Entertaining with abit of drama .
why not drill holes in the seat?
With perfect conditions I wonder how far it would be possible to go ?
Well done lads
Respect for the achievement and the show was enjoyable, informative and funny
"Who holds the world record, Americans?"
"No.....we do !!"
🙂
Top effort, well done !
Fantastic team effort and great telly too,really well done to you.
well done, enjoyed watching it
A great show
Did Jason use to be rock climber. I think he might of worked at Outside in Hathersage
Brilliant stuff!
Terrahawks response to potentially being killed to death by heat stroke: 'Oh, well, we don't want any of that' 😆
Well done to all involved!
Fantastic stuff big thumbs up
Well that looked great. Unfortunately though I've been sat in a room full of shrieking women who've drank too much wine so didn't hear much of it.
Good show and fair play on the record looks like hell riding that thing soaked in piss for 24 hours!
Can't wait for next weeks one with pikes peak attempt.
Did guy really lose 5Kg he's not what you would call a tubby bugger.
Super work and well done. Good tv too
I enjoyed that. The overly dramatic editing might have made some stuff a little too dramatic but knowing what it's like to ride for a long(ish) time my hat is doffed to you both, and to the team and your families who had to put up with the training. Well done!
Cracking hour of TV, one of the few shows that's worth enduring the adverts for! Loved the attitude and eventual achievement!
Well done Terrahawk and Guy. Awesome!!
Terrahawk - exactly how bad did it smell by the time you'd finished?
Well done! Absolutely amazing effort!!!!
Are you not tempted to do it again on a cool quiet winters day?
Also hasn't moving the record from a conventional bike to a trike really opened the floodgates for other record attempts?
Best thing on TV in a long time, looked like 2 blokes just having a real good time!
Top work 8) great watching.
Mike Burrows is a really nice bloke too.. only spoken to him on the phone and did a great job of fixing some carbon forks for me
How much of page 2 can I safely read here? I'm in a s****y hotel in Italy, so no proper telly and I don't want any spoilers

I'd stop reading if I was you.
Great show. Well done to everyone concerned.
Me and the daughter enjoyed it.
Made up you broke the record too, even if you did both smell of piss at the end.
Interesting to note that the solo record on a regular TT bike is 541 miles!
Here are a couple of very impressive 24h records:
Alex Pattison (66), 371.140miles,
George Berwick (72) and Philip Jurczyk (68,) 362.611 miles.
Quality show!
Congrats to terra hawk and guy on the record
Spin - what's even more interesting is that it wasn't really a tt bike - it's a mtb hybrid type thing with a triple chain set and v brakes. He mtb's, tours and sets tt records all on the same bike.
Andy wilkinson is a beast though - there's a six part interview with him on YouTube, proper interesting bloke.
Andy wilkinson is a beast though
Just watched on +1. Looking forward to watching it again with my son who adores Guy.
Well done!

Excellent show. Well done all involved. Pissed myself, hoho, at the urine bit.
Really enjoyed that 😀
