Bringing back some great memories ❤

Good effort!!! I'm amazed he didn't spin out the back wheel.

😂😂 I'd forgotten about this gem of a video..

Hey babe, respect. Sittin in behind a mans arse, God almighty. Tandem bike riding, thats a whole skillset unknown to 99% of the human race. I salute both of you.

Good to see you both back on the tandem. But especially Stevie. Great views of Wales, roads in the North I know well. What a fantastic event. You haven't lost the knack of a good cycling video Laura.

Do not mention the gates!!!!!! All the views even if Mr Pommery's name is taken in vain on a regular basis. "It's like audax but enjoyable" is the quote of the weekend. Well done. Great watch.

Well done! 👍

Wow what a battle to finish. I watch the live stream of your finish, was so relieved then elated when you finished. Congrats, you will.have this for the rest of your lives. Huge achievement!

Those last few days I remember so well and I was only dot watching! Incredible tenacity and adventure. Those mechanicals, how you held it together to solve problems like that I have no idea. Incredible pair. All the best for the book!

Beer!!!!!! Looking forward to having one with you on Thursday!

Loved the whole section about "why a tandem and why not two solos". Very much sums up Sue and my experience over the last nearly 30 years. Of course we're not even on the same planet as you two physically... but even with our much lower achievements we "get it".

Great to hear more from Stevie! The previous ride experience like Derby/Lands End/John O'Groats/Derby in 10 days and a 60 hour PBP explain some of ability to average 100 miles a day for 180 days!

Stevie and Laura, thanks for your continued work in putting out videos and interviews. I enjoyed your round the world ride, recognized parts of the route, and enjoyed Stevie's perspective in this audio. My wife and I have around 40,000 tandem kilometres, mostly touring, but not at your speed. Our current tandem is a coupled Co-Motion with a Rohloff hub and belt drive. Keep those wheels spinning!

Those last couple of days.... hypothermia, wheel bearings and a final 4am get up to ride 120miles in falling snow. I've said it before.... but you two are made of something else. Physically strong, but the mental toughness is off the scale! I followed each of these days as I put the GPX files together. Often looking in at Google Streetview to get a feel for it. But these videos give a much better view with your commentary. Looking forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks and getting the book. Congratulations again!🎉

Fantastic insights into the mindset needed to complete one of these massive challenges.

She is such an amazing person and so humble. Fantastic interview. I was staying with a Warmshowers host in Eureka California and they were reading her book. Def on my to read list

Your face at 20:19 😢 What a roller coaster. Long days, knee problem for Stevie, then the freehub pawl springs failing. Just to cap it off you had to race a storm into Halifax. Never ever easy. Another great video. Lovely scenery on the sunny days!

Another great video. What a land of contrasts, from the Rockies, through the prairies and on into the land of lakes and forests. In 1978 I stood on the shore of Lake Superior and marvelled at the vast expanse of "ocean" with waves breaking on the shore. Everything is big in Canada. I really felt for you with the cold. There's nothing worse than cold hands and feet when cycling. Seems like nothing you can wear can beat the cold when it's below freezing. Loved the "little wins" like the room upgrade at the end. Great for morale! 30 days to go.... but as we know.... it wasn’t plain sailing!

Your face (plus riding in rubber gloves) really told a story of the rain/cold (about 23min in). Drivers in NZ not renowned for their sympathy with cyclists (British understatement). Another great video. NZ is a fab place. We had 23 days in a Campervan in 2017. That's probably a better way to see the place unfortunately.

That was hard to watch....very well done.

So sorry for the accident.

A great video. Makes me almost wish I'd ridden. Except for the hills lol! Chris K.

Nicely capured the spirit of the weekend

Mental! 😂

I've somehow only just spotted this. Great set up which turned out to be very reliable. In particular wheels and tyres on tandems can be troublesome. Whilst you still had some issues, overall it went very well mechanically.

Jesus.... I spent most of that video just wanting to hug you both. It shows how a moments inattention by a motor vehicle operator can have such devastating consequences for vulnerable road users such as cyclists and pedestrians. It's still great to see your progress, but horrible viewing at times. Looking forward to the next episode.

You looked much better in this second half of India. I loved the "crowd" that gathers when you stop. The switches in the hotel room were amazing! Such a shame you had to just keep going all the while and miss out on seeing some sights. O briefly (8 days) visited India with work about 15 years ago. How you coped with the city traffic is beyond me. Finally, watching these videos is bringing to life all the GPX files I worked on. Looking forward to following episodes.

This is tough to watch..... no where near as tough as it was for you. Grim at times.

This looked TOUGH! Having followed along in real-time, and with the blog updates, I hadn't fully-appreciated how many challenges you two ran into in India. As always, incredibly impressed with your tenacity and determination!

I have just watched this Episode 1 and seen the tumble/crash you had on the Danube cycle past just before leaving Slovakia, I guess between Cenkov and Obid where the path deteriorates into a tractor trail. We crashed on the same part of the trail on the loose small stones/narrow track. They seem to be working on upgrading that part of the path now but I think completion is a year away.

Cracking scenery again though!

I particularly liked the mention of "danger pants" (8m30s).... I know that feeling

If anyone EVER thinks "let's ride round the world, it'll be a laugh"... then your "piece to camera" sections make it obvious just how hard it is. Bravo.

Loved tracking you on the road/Strava at the time and great to see the detail now. How did/do you put up with not being able to see round Steve? Chronic neck problems?! it's why I refuse to ride a tandem with my Steve who is a foot taller than me too. Plus I don't trust him to not petrify me. Excellent teamwork. I was expecting more blankety blank bloopers/outtakes at the end. Brilliant (although the music gets on my wick a bit but that won't stop me watching.) Asia here you come! That was a long haul and I wasn't riding it.

Was waiting to watch this ... finally, it's here. Will watch in detail.

Good luck with the Round the World Challenge. Following you with excitement 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Fab montage, tempted to follow in your bike tracks next summer.

Wait how did you get the bike into the hotel room? Couldnt you just get it out the way you got it in?

A very purposeful looking machine. Good luck for the RTW record.

28x2!? You make them look like 26ers. Great looking machine.

Forgot to say I start alone on Thursday from Fort William. Can’t wait . Did West Highland Way last year and was blown away by the scenery .

Great video - well done and thanks for making it. Love Ori - wish my couch potato dog would walk with me.

Loved the video! Apologies for keeping you up late ;-)

Enjoyed that, very nicely put together. Starting from FW at Easter.

Is that the tandem you are using on your record ride?

Inspiring! Steve's beard is awesome! Good luck with your world record. Will be watching.
