While a lot of riders will try their hand at getting records like a Strava KOM on their local trails, there are some other riders who set their sights on a bigger prize - a Fastest Known Time, also known as an FKT! FKTs are the fastest known times for a self-supported ride, over 150km long with a recognised, fixed route.

To see just how hard these riders push themselves on FKT attempts, Neil, Isaac, and Rich decided to team up to see if they could challenge the FKT held on the South Downs Way by Tom Couzens. Tom completed the 159km route in an incredible 7 hours, 44 minutes, and 47 seconds - could the boys beat that time, or would Tom's record live to see another day?
