Forty kilos on every back: GCN's equal-weight Els Àngels climb

Nine uploads also sent Connor and Ollie bikepacking across Slovenia, from car-free Ljubljana to Lake Bled.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

If Every Presenter Weighs The Same, Who's The Fastest On A Climb?If Every Presenter Weighs The Same, Who's The Fastest On A Climb?

Global Cycling Network is now past one and a half billion lifetime views, and the week that carried it there had a very GCN question at its center. What if every presenter weighed the same? The answer involved loading riders with extra weight, up to 40kg according to the description, and sending them up Els Àngels, the climb above Girona that half the pro peloton seems to train on. The chapters promise upper-body agony and a surprise podium, and the video has the biggest total of the week's nine uploads.

The momentum sits a day further on, though, with "Is This Europe's Best-Kept Cycling Secret?" Made with Slovenia's tourism channel, it follows Connor and Ollie on a two-day bikepacking loop past the Lipica stud farm, the Solkan Bridge and a cold morning plunge before Lake Bled. For a country that gave cycling Tadej Pogačar and Primož Roglič, "secret" is a playful word. Its short cut-down is keeping busy too.

The weekly GCN Show, with Dan and Si weighing up whether anyone wants 32-inch wheels, has settled into a gentler rhythm. Overall the channel is running a little above its usual daily pace and picking up subscribers steadily. It sits second by subscribers among the golf, cycling and other sports channels around it, where Bryson DeChambeau and World Rugby are both having a busier week than usual.
