A mere jaunt for that man. He may even have had a day off afterwards.

I’ve had the pleasure of riding with Mark. He’s a machine.

You're right, he does seem to have been taking it steady 😉. On '80 Days' "his daily average speeds were impressive for such a huge distance, clocking around 15mph (24kmh) for each ride."

He was gauging his efforts on power, the speed was a by product.

I'd have thought it would be a touch faster, must have had a headwind.

The video of the ride in the OP is on GCN.
At 16 minutes it's not too long and is a reasonably entertaining telling of the story of the ride.
