I miss this man being on YT. Unbelievable achievement. Also Hannah just being an absolute class human being. Loved this maven, good to see ya again.
Really miss Maven riding crits. Were the first cycling vlogs I started watching on KZhead.
@@mrm95 same, I loved this guy's vlogs and CRIT commentary when he was known as cycling maven.
FINALLY got around to making this video. Who's doing the challenge? (tip: Don't!)
I've been on Zwift since 2015 and still haven't done most of the long routes, let alone 30 days in a row. No plans to either. 🤣
hmmm , dec 24 th to jan 8th - 16 days , winter boot camp
Maven is BACK!!!
Congratulations Maven! Really glad you got the video out, I knew how hard this was and wondered how you would make something interesting out of something so static. However you succeeded again, really enjoyed it. You really have a talent mate👍👍
I was so happy to see another Maven video pop up in my feed! I love your work and I can't wait for another update on you, fitness, family, and life.
Fantastic to see you posting again! Top job ticking off those routes, has proved a good motivator to get my turbo back out and working on fitness! Hoping you've got more videos in the pipeline! 🤘
You are an absolute legend to complete this challenge and to share it with us. And your wife is an absolute legend to be so happy and supportive of you especially with those young people to look after! Well done to you both 👍
Huge thanks for continuing to commit to these videos. I think the periodic videos with more details is awesome. Quality over quantity. Thanks for all you do!
Welcome back Maven, you absolute legend !!! What an accomplishment! Very inspirational for anyone that considers themselves less fit than they would like, anything can be accomplished, its the WILL that makes it happen !
Great to see you man! The kids are getting big and Hannah looks great! Be well!
Great to see you and the family back. Amazing work, so glad you stated that you still found time during the challenge to enjoy life - eg barbi and beer and some time with the children. Hannah once again so supportive.
It's great to see u back making videos Maven. 👌
Great to see you on the tube again! You've got me motivated to do this challenge :] Take care!
Ive finished the video and im so glad that you got uploaded a video. Keep the riding going on, you absolute legend!
Yes Mark!! You (and Hannah) are bloody legends. Very inspiring. True grit and a gooch like leather 😆. Very well done and love seeing back on KZhead. X
always happy to see you post again, truly happy for you and hannah
Maven! Hope you are well. My favorite vlogger ever. Cheers to you and the fam.
Great work Mark - super effort on the challenge! - & very well documented/recorded!
So happy I stumbled upon you and this video, everything about it was ace! Your attitude, the challenge, the storytelling, the filming and the support of your family. It was all incredible and inspiring. I’m subscribed and hopefully there’s more to come! Kudos mate 👏
Do yourself a favour and go back through the Maven archives from the beginning. So much great content, amazing people, ups and downs, and fantastic stories!
Pure motivation! Great video...thanks for that!
Loved the video Maven welcome back 😁
Cracking Video Mark, not only the riding itself looked tough but the editing was gold standard as usual & 10/10 for Hanna to allow you not only to be able to complete the Challange but also allowing you to walk about with the Hugh Hefner dressing gown on camera 😂 love it champ & see you at sandown “you legend”
Wow epic efforts! Also Hannah's support was phenomenal!
Awesome Maven. Great to see you back on the screen with the family. Well done mate.
Welcome back mark its amazing to see after a year your still into cycling you still enjoy doing KZhead videos, family is doing well. So happy for u bud keep up the good work 😁👍
I struggle to spend more than two and a half hours on a trainer so I'm in absolute awe that you've done that 30days running. Really well done mate 👍
Hey Mark, great to see some new content from you. Lovely to see your growing family and the beautiful Hannah too! Give us some more content soon matey ❤
Maaaaavvvvvveeeennnnn!! Missed you and your amazing blogs! So good to see you back. Hope the family are all well.
Great to see you on screen again Maven! What a legend! What a legendary effort!
Chapeau, great vid, nice to see you back.
Great to see you back Maven. A whole year's worth of content in the bag I see - looking forward to the Neistat-esque great comeback!
Great video Mark. Followed you as you did this challenge so finally seeing this shows just what you went through (Hannah too). I struggle to do more than 2 hours on the trainer but might try some of the longer routes over xmas. Hats off to ya. 👍
Epic video mate and great effort.
30 minutes of Maven -- an absolute treat! Good to see you're still kicking along Mark.
Missed your video vlogs, welcome back
Great stuff mate!
I remember when you were doing this challenge, I was completing all my route badges, but I was doing 2 or 3 a week. You inspired me at the time, thank you.
Great performance maven. Myself I'm a hobby zwifter for a year now and I even didn't found the courage to ride the last 6 routes you did in a week for over a year. So: great job. And also a big hug to your family. Like you say, without them it's nearly an impossible job. Well done as well Hannah.
Can honestly say this is a mega achievement. The Uber pretzel is so tough. The climbing in all the courses is hard but the mental challenge is next level. Fair play, absolute legend
MAVEN! Good to see you mate! (btw - The older Kickrs were vampires. They didn't like direct sunlight)
Was going to post the same thing - you need a little sunshade for the trainer. I forgot about this until a week ago, when the sun was the just the right spot in the sky again and bang -power went crazy. Took me 5 min to remember it was the sun shining in the window.
Congratulations TEAM Maven! There is something to be said about setting your mind on something and fully commit to it. No one can take away that sense accomplishment. Chapeau to you and your family.
Good to see you back Mark. Hopefully more to come.
This is simply brilliant. How much I’ve missed this man. Thanks Maven you absolute legend. Wish you could be a regular feature in my viewing. Mahooosive fan x
Incredible accomplishment! Great video!
Good work fella. Nice to see you challenging yourself. Love your work. Get outside. See you out on the road.
Made my day to see a Maven Vlog. 🙌
Chapeau Maven! I really struggle on the trainer, so this challenge and you knocking it off just blew my mind! Team effort for both you and Hannah, she's awesome! 2 minute noodles as a mid ride snack, can't believe I never thought of that.
Wow! Incredible effort and achievement! Chapeau to the support crew 👏👏
Heyy!!!!! You did it! Nice one m8!👏 That's a great watch too!
Yay a maven vid! You’re the best story teller ! Great video, come up to Brisbane sometime soon!
Great to see you back buddy,I still think you make the best vids on KZhead. Hope life is good for you and the family are well.
Wow glad to see you back Mavstar. Great achievement!

The King returns!!!
Love this maven! Been a long time viewer! Great challenge and an equally great effort :)

Great stuff Mark! i havent seen your chanel since 2019 so have resubscibed again .
Great vid Maven thank you for putting it together. Hanna with the tough love but it got you back on the bike, she's a keepa
Great to see you back, awesome challenge. Totally lost my mojo over the past few months, not ridden or done anything. Hoping to get myself in a good place to get back on it. This certainly helps the motivation. Thank you
Throw the leg back over and start small mate. Mojo will follow.
Great stuff well done 👍
Glad you're back. ❤️👍🏿
Great to have the maven back. Quality content as usual 👌🏻
Great to see you back Mark! Hannah’s the best!👍
instantly subbed nice work
What a legend!!! This is inspiring! I'm currently doing a 100 days in a row on Zwift challenge with the finish trying to complete the Festive 500...big challenge for me, and like I said this is inspiring. Thanks!!!
Great effort dude. The 6 beers post ride made me giggle🤣
Great to see you back Mark 👍
Maven is Back!! Great to see ya, Legend.
Legendary stuff there Maven Mark!
You're back! ❤️
Great to see you again :)
Solid effort Mark. Sounds like pure torture.
Amazing effort!
Finally, good to see you back
Great see you back on the youtubes! I miss those heady days when you created something special. But, and it's a big but, you have created something possibly more special since. Peace brother!!
ohh mate, what a moment! Hopped on the trainer for the first time in almost 8 months yesterday was thinking about you. Missed your videos. Heck I remember when you and Hannah announced the first pregnancy...time flies. Great seeing this, glad you are well, and yes... Hannah is an absolute legend for this. I watch my wife take care of our 14 month old while Im gone on work, its not easy. You said it right, selfish challenge... but stoked you completed it! Ride on mave!
Perfect way of showing just how heartbreaking Zwift bugs and lack of tech support can be.
Great video mate. And how awesome is Hannah? What a fantastic partner and support. Healthy kids too. Life's good Mark. Be proud. Love ya work ❤😎✌️
I just started with Zwift. Didn’t know it could provide that level of training. Wow man ! Good job !
Good to see you back.
That is a crazy challenge. Well done.
awesome work!
Great vid matey!
Well done on completing this god awful challenge mate, sounds like hell. Great to see you putting a video out again and hope to see some others soon.
Quality, thanks!
Forgot how much I enjoyed watching maven!
Well Done Maven! Chapeaux
Amazing achievement! 💪
Hurray! Was just thinking that The Maven hasn't posted for an absolute age. Lovely to see the fam are all golden.
Your Zwift avatar is JACKED. On ya bro, welcome back ❤
I did the PRL half last night and it’s not the actual cycling which is tough it’s the repetition of it, dreading the full! Mad effort - props from the UK! 👌
MAVAN IS BACK serious effort mate well done
YOU. ARE. A. LEGEND. (and so is Hannah!!!)
