Thanks! Seems like a distant memory now!

Honestly didn't know. I suspect the design is just an interesting detail about the frame. The company makes the same size now with just one tt.

Glad you liked it!

Yep, they are very nice bicycles.

Well, it certainly would be easier if I was younger! ;)

Glad you enjoyed it and hope you do join us for a ride.

I suspect that it is just an artifact of the camera's "fisheye" effect. Also, I think the horizon-leveling feature often seems to give the world a bit of a tilt that isn't really there. After playing with the settings a nit, I'm going to settle on the "Linear" wide angle setting to see if that makes any difference when I use it next.

Great Videos very enjoyable. Thanks.@@SeanKeesler

Nothing at all! I consider this Bianchi my bike for Florida.

@@SeanKeesler It looks like a beauty from the glimpse I caught. Love the videos 👍

​@@gocutters Glad you enjoyed them!

That would be incredible, alright!

I'm glad someone enjoys watching. Thanks!

There are 2mi of Altay Rd that is a dirt road: ridewithgps.com/routes/41543413?highlight=777-848 Wouldn't be a big deal on a road bike.

Sensible is a good word to describe it. I appreciate that I can work on it with the same tools I've used on my bikes from the 80s. Nothing will ever be out of stock for this bike.

Thanks

Thanks! One of the more challenging rides this year.

Honestly , most bikes will last longer than me! ;)

I must have been feeling grateful for what Sam and I did this year.

Glad you liked it!

I'd like to see the Dales, Moors, and Lake District! We always want to see somewhere else! Glad you enjoyed it!

@@SeanKeesler Yes Sean your right! The Lake district is lovely but always seems to rain! The Dales are nice very scenic water falls ect.The moors were in American werewolf in London the film when they wandered off the path! Have a fab wknd Thankyou 🙂

That was a fun ride. Glad you liked it.

Thank you. Paris Brest Paris is on a lot of randonneurs' bucket lists! :) The rules for Paris Brest Paris (including how to qualify) are located at the Audax Club Parisien's (ACP) website for the ride: www.paris-brest-paris.org/en/rules/ in article 2. ACP-sanctioned brevets are organized in the US by Randonneurs USA (RUSA). You might check with Abu Dhabi Randonneurs, although I don't know if I remember anyone from the UAE on the road during PBP.

Thanks for the response, I’m not sure if there’s brevet organizing here in UAE, the further I know is only 185km event no such as 200k to 600k event organized here (not too sure) I will need to find out how I’m going to do the qualification ride .. thanks 🙏

@@Rochellecyclinglife You might find out if joining and volunteering to organize and run more events can change that. Maybe you can help run a full ACP series, ride it yourself, and qualify for PBP next time!

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed watching this amateur effort.

Great to see a familiar face out there!

Thanks!

Allez! Allez! Bon courage on your 600k!

I appreciate that your found it competing enough to awaken and forge on through my dull slog. You should get a medal too!

@@SeanKeesler ha ha! But I did get a medal it’s shiny just like yours 😉 You’re a New Yorker you can handle it - New Jersey guy here. Anyway congrats on finishing. I was P245 - 86 hours 15 min. We didn’t go for time we wanted to have the time of our lives 😊 I thoroughly enjoyed PBP! My undercarriage has a different opinion on that. 😂 My riding partner and I rode hard during the day and bedded down every night around 9ish and got back on the bike at daybreak except the first night since we started at 1945 we rode through that first night. We made it to Carhaix by 9:30 pm I think. We had 35 hours off the bike and 51 hours pedal time. We took in the atmosphere, hung out with the locals and rode with and had dialog with riders from many countries sometimes in English sometimes in Spanish, which I speak fluently, and broken Italian 😂 it was awesome! Good luck with your channel whatever you decide to do with it. Cheers mate! If you’re on Strava we can connect there strava.app.link/4WOmo041SCb

@@SeeYouUpTheRoad Congrats on YOUR finish, then! My undercarriage did fine, but I have a numb right hand. I'm signing my name like I am in 2nd grade and asking my wife to open the pickle jar.

@@SeanKeesler ha ha! I have some left hand numbness to deal with I thought it would have been gone by now. Hopefully it resolves itself soon. I own a bike shop and do quite a bit of wrenching so I need my hands to make a living.

Thank you.

I looked for an automatic translation feature, but didn't find it. Where is it?

@@SeanKeeslerHi Sean, I don’t know how to answer your question. Your other videos were automatically translated, so I could follow all your preparation and understand everything you said... Maybe it will happen on its own.... ​Rechercher des détails

@@ildefonsobenitez6624 I think this is a feature of KZbin, but nothing I did. Maybe it will take a while for it to come up...I'll check back in a while.

I looked into it, and I think it's just that KZbin doesn't automatically generate captions for long videos like this one (support.google.com/youtube/answer/6373554?hl=en#zippy=%2Cautomatic-captions-on-long-form-videos-and-shorts%2Cautomatic-captions-on-live-stream-videos).

How did you get 3 hours behind on the outbound?

@@SeanKeesler ha ha - I left Loudeac more or less on the dot of my cut off time (having slept and fed myself and thinking my garmin had been charging the whole time) and then found the garmin at 5% ready to go into power saving so at some point it just died. At which point I found a patch of grass and waited for it to charge to 12%. Then I helped a rider whose deraileur had locked with her rear sprocket and then slept at the secret control and then thought that it substituted the Carhaix stop which I thought was the food stop shortly after the secret. When I turned up at Carhaix I initially thought it was Brest, but I clearly was thinking in a dream state. By the time I got to Brest I was back to -1.5h, then Carhaix -1h, Slept and then -3h at Loudeac (was tough slog getting to Loudeac). After which I just kept on pushing pushing pushing and looking for wheels to follow. I was very lucky with my energy coming back but would have been sorted with better nutrition supplies.... (I'd used them all by Loudeac on return leg), Wild ride, I loved it.

Thanks! And you're welcome!

Aww, anyone could do it if you have the time...

I am afraid you vastly underestimate your achievements and grossly overestimate other people's abilities. Again, Congratulations

It was quite the experience, Joy! The Columbia River Gorge ride was one of my favorites ever. Thanks for sharing that day with me!

It comes across fine. I know that what you are saying is true. Maybe the best way to say it is that I HOPE that randonneuring doesn't become the same as ultra racing. I know there are a few people that do both, but rando seems (to me...just my opinion) to need guarding from too much racing influence.

Glad you enjoyed it!

It was a pretty neat experience.

It worked! I finished!

Thanks!

I'll need a little! Thank you!
