A rollercoaster Devon seaside ride

[@alanjwills]

Fantastic to see you retrace a lot of the coastal landmarks my wife and I used to cycle past when we lived in South Devon. Tragically, like your friend Nelson, my wife took her own life last year, and on what would have been our 25th wedding anniversary I dusted off her old road bike and have been clocking up the miles on it ever since. It feels like she is with me on the rides, as she rode it for an hour every day right up until the day before she died. Thank you for your inspirational videos. It really motivates me to get out there, and I always feel better when I get back.

Alan Wills @ what a fantastic way to remember a loved one, cheers to you

Big love. No words.

[@steveretiredandcycling]

Nice ride Juilet. The memory of your friend Nelson will live on in the hearts and minds of those closest to him. We are fortunate to wake up every morning and cherish the day. At 67 I'm blessed with good health and a passion to ride. Keep up the excellent videos. You are an inspiration...

[@peterostermiller3576]

Best phrase you said at the beginning regarding the benefits of exercise: “Spin my legs and clear my head.“ The mental health benefits of exercising cannot be stated enough.

[@tonypotter9578]

Riding your bike surrounded by beautiful scenery and for a great cause. - big ✅. Well done 👏🏼

[@paulsheridan4566]

What an infectious inspiration you are Juliet! Two years ago, I lost my life long friend and cycling buddy to SCAD (Sudden Coronary Artery Di-section). Although he is still alive, he has severe brain damage. I never thought that I would ride a bike again, but watching your video's along with so many other kind people with in the cycling fraternity, has inspired my wife and I to once again get back in the saddle........ Thank you.

[@Ray.J]

If I wasn't sold on visiting the area before you can bet I am now! Absolutely glorious scenery. I hope people watching understand that it's OK to feel emotions. Too many people hold them in. That goes for melancholy feelings as well as happiness. Juliet was a "tale of two faces" in this video. First, the jubilant look when she talked about brownies and then later, the exhausted face just after the ride. It's OK to display them both! I love the fact you are helping to educate people about CALM. I know only too well the issues surrounding men and their reluctance to seek help. We all think we can "fix" ourselves, but sadly that just isn't true. Kudos Juliet! I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. Let's hope that through efforts like yours and your husband Dave people get the help they need.

[@williamwest8324]

It's nice to know there are still people who genuinely care. Stay safe, stay happy, stay as you are.

[@ActivesuezenOutdoors]

One thumbs up doesn't seem enough for this video Juliet... well done to Martin and yourself for getting out there and sharing this awesome message and planting in our minds the seed of Nelson. 🌟

[@felixjackson2670]

Beautiful day. Great ride. Yes gratitude is a valuable quality. Bonus....hardly a muzzle in sight. So good to see people’s smiles.Pretty good to be able to breath properly too.

[@Francesco_M.]

So sad to hear about Nelson's story, sometimes we just can't do it on our own and help becomes sorely needed; let's cherish our struggle on climbs, as we don't really know how much more we will keep on doing it. Beautifully done Juliet! 😃🙂🍻🏞🚲

[@1114gabby]

Love all your videos. I work in the Mental Health field and I think its a wonderful thing to do a video like this. Too many people suffer in silence. Lets get the word out and hopefully other people will be saved. Thanks Juliet.

[@Neil.....]

❤️ A very nice way to honor your friend

[@mhe8545]

Heartfelt video. You bring happiness to people. We all can go to dark spaces. One thing I always try to remember. Give a genuine warm smile to all. You may change the course of someone’s day or life. Take the time to reach out to those struggling. If someone pops into your mind out of nowhere call them. Pay attention to that inner voice. They may need you.

[@McStoolio]

M HE good advice 👍 and it all costs nothing other than a couple of minutes.

[@gimme1smile]

Thanks for taking us along, riding a bike helps!

[@Capt.Caveman]

Absolutely amazing, been to the U.K. way back, wish I could visit again soon! Lived in New Zealand for a year, and being from the U.S. it always throws me off seeing you guys on the left side of the road...lol Enjoy your videos very much.

[@ricusserfontein1086]

Always enjoy "riding" along on your tours, Living the dream.

[@justtimo9528]

That´s what I keep telling myself whenever I suffer on the bike: It´s a privilege to be alive and to be able to suffer in a healthy way

[@Buckblacket]

I just keep repeating in my head "why am I doing this....why am I doing this". I'm obviously finding it a struggle and need to find an attitude adjustment from somewhere.

[@fractalofgod6324]

My dad lives in Totnes and we used to cycle all around Kingsbridge, Salcombe, Buckfastleigh, dartington, Staverton. Such great memories as a kid. I'm building up a Ridley kanzo A frame at the moment with a view to cycling all those areas again next summer.

[@cupeater]

much respect for the remembrance ride. loved the music, too.

[@robertgubbins1832]

Great spirit of the ride. Good effort on having no shame talking to the camera in front of people. There’s not many that can do it because of the fear of what others think, myself included!

[@brianr6387]

Hey Juiliet, this is an amazing way to remember Nelson! I watch your vlogs along with Dave's and admire your passion and energy your smile and big heart and selflessness! Thank you for sharing this as it's a cause I haven't heard of before so will gladly be making a donation and will also ride in his memory on the date. Greetings from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 keep up the great work vlogging Juiliet 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤗👋

[@humphreysharley2480]

Loved seeing the sights , living in Brisbane now but grew up on a farm outside Strete lovely part of the world. thanks

[@soloist777]

Another brilliant ride, thank you! Love your rides thru' the English and Welsh countryside. And yes, celebrate life!

[@dafred9898]

The self-restraint at not also getting ice cream is admirable. Sorry about your friend happens to too many people.

[@timparsons2741]

Thanks for the ride . I need to visit your side of the pound someday .

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

You’re welcome. Do so!

[@MegaSixpac]

Nice to see that Bike out on the road again. Nice bike.

[@charliebuoy]

Great to watch. Met Nelson back in the day, he was a lovely chap. Did the tour de test valley with Martin in my group a few years ago, also a lovely chap. Gutted the sportive didn't happen this year, everyone should give some cash to Calm anyway. They help so many people.

[@andrelloyd4010]

A great capture with lovely vistas. Many thanks for producing and Kindly sharing the moments. Happy peddling Juliet 🙏

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Thanks Andre, glad you like it

[@markjthomson]

What a great way to celebrate a friends life! Good memorial. Thanks for sharing.

[@robtemoana3041]

Great ride. Hey good to see someone still using rim brakes. Well done Martin

[@mohare134]

Thank you for bringing/keeping mental health on the forefront...especially during this isolation due to Covid.

[@livingthroughtv]

Jules, you are a queen. Thanks as ever

[@tompickbourne7694]

Cracking ride Juliet, just getting back onto my bike now after a long time off, so will start to explore routes in and out of Okehampton. Watching your video just makes me appreciate how lucky we are to live in Devon. For now Watt bike when at sea and bike time when home rain or sunshine. Thanks again.

[@paulfentem2287]

Looked a beautiful route. It's great to get out on a bike and have fun. Thanks for sharing.

Great childhood memories of family holidays, my favourite photo of Dad and myself on Blackpool Sands when i was around 10 years old (54 now) Thanks for the memory trip x

[@domfluin1819]

I love your videos and such a good platform to highlight such an important topic. Your enthusiasm is inspiring and infectious. I’m lucky to live on northern edge of Dartmoor and love seeing our beautiful area in your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@Tardisius]

Nice tour of your coastline =)

[@AlisonAdventuring]

I am enjoying travelling via your videos ;) glad you had a good ride, and in a great cause

Super coastal views and a worthy cause to donate to

[@chargeriderepeat7024]

Staying in Torcross next week, used to live in Salcombe. Love it.

[@dazbri8270]

Brilliant, think your videos are getting better every time. Mixed content which is enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great content. Thanks

[@gadgie3]

This couldn't have come at a better time. It's not about me but I'm going back to work in 2 days after 4 wks off because a major wobble. I didn't but yeah. Sorry. This vid is an inspiration. Thanks💕

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Really glad to hear you’re moving forwards. X

[@dand77]

Great scenery looked like a cool route 👍 I'll have to check out the sportive 🤞 for next year!

No need to have any shame Juliet your vid are great, hello and stay safe from Canada 🇨🇦

[@malcolmandtheboy-getonwith3050]

Omg. That whole video makes me homesick. Plus all the FB memories popping up of being home this very time last year. Loved the video. 🇬🇧🇬🇧. ❤️ ❤️ to your lost friend.

[@gavinstone3769]

I was going to do my first Tour du Moor this year on dartmoor for st lukes. it was cancelled, im hopeing next year all the rides will be back and it would be great to do your ride as well ,such a worthy cause needs as much media attention as possible, keep up the good work ;-)

[@matthewstewart3532]

Wow, I'm from around here and that's a pretty long ride, nice one.

[@John-un2co]

Beautiful thing you did beautiful sceneries and by the way beautiful kit!! Awesome job Juliet

[@japorter34]

You looked really fit and well on your ride today. The sleep-over was obviously good for you! John

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

You know what, I rarely think I look good but I actually agree with you, I look really well rested!

[@kerrysupporter]

You look good most of the time.

[@MrTans79]

Definitely keeping my eye out for next year... such an important cause ✌

[@333wheeler]

Nice video . Bit of a grippy affair by the looks of it.. Lot of nice tall hedges at least in the lanes to combat the wind.. Juliet was hanging on well there .. Could tell the pressure was on at times .. :). Great area to live.

[@inspiredtobebetter8994]

What a great video! 👍👍👍

[@tonydoyle6815]

Riding for a great cause well done !!!

[@ninastevens3054]

Yes I'm sure it was a very emotional ride for you too but I love watching all your videos and going along with you on all your adventures

[@grahamtricker4103]

A really great video and a wonderful thing to do! 👍

[@geoffjohnston1531]

Keep on doing it , you're an enjoyable personality. Simple.

[@ldickens86]

Donated! Excellent cause and great videos! :-)

[@horaciojosecovassi247]

muy buenos los videos si alguna vez viene a argentina la invito a ve los paisajes en mi provincia codoba saludos

[@davidharris1562]

Once again a good video and for a good cause

[@RiDankulous]

The colors are nice imho in the small towns there. I remember going to Ireland and it's similar. I was only in London so I didn't go to the small towns in England. I keep exercise to walking and body-weight training at this time. Cycling there might be a lot safer than the US. I'm done trying futilely to exercise to overcome bad diet. Went whole food-plant based to fix cholesterol 3 years ago and now I have no real problem with weight control; it can be a little challenge, but well within grasp.

[@carsandguitarss]

That windy milla looks a beaut you seem So much smoother !

[@erickozokas]

Beautiful video and a wonderful reason to ride. Can you tell us where/how you mount your camera to get your smooth shots riding just over your bars? I didn't see you wearing a chest strap at all. Thanks!

[@richjam51]

Great video as always Juliet, looked a really nice route and ridden for a especially good cause. What software do you use on you phone for your route maps? Thanks...keep pedalling!

[@bltbiking7448]

Love your videos!

[@truefituk]

Love your helmet and glasses combo .. what are they please? Great vid!

[@bautistanyc]

Love that trail ride awesomeness btw your frames are lit...

[@ridesrambles8903]

Great to see you using your channel to raise awareness, and thanks for sharing the personal side as well. There is a real need to normalise chap chatting, to move beyond bravado and mick taking. Keep up the good work

[@HeartNDagger18]

Enjoying these vids 💆🏼‍♂️

[@meneersjonnie]

Wow what amazing routes you have ;-)

[@stephenwilliams8384]

Great video, thank you

[@wayneC7]

Where do you keep the camera 🎥 while riding? Seems so stable

[@jenikirby5019]

Yeah what do you use aswell?

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

It’s a GoPro Hero 8, it has a built-in stabiliser

[@Potty8]

Stuck in my bed cause of my knee injury, i find happiness in your video, i know you didnt mean it this way but not being able to ride is literally killing me... Saluti da Bologna - Italia

[@davidbrown8388]

You and Dave enthusing about all the places I know so well 🙂🙂Makes me homesick for the bay and I'm only up on the Moors.South hams is a great area.the biggest draw to your videos for me is usually where you will be going,but todays message was a home hitter too.. Guy's call that number if you need to, there is no shame. It really is OK to not be ok.

[@shaunedwards4362]

Sleepovers are hard work..and Van's do a Jersey 😱😱😱😱

[@jezgflix]

Really nice vid! 🙂

[@paulrobilliard7209]

Great channel, your making me want to get back out on my diverge,I’ve 700x30 I think,would 700x40 tyres be better for gravel.but would they be killer on road for the ride home ?

[@neilf9861]

See you there next year...

[@paulfrey3846]

God love a sleep over. That's as charitable as I can be. My youngest turns 21 soon. Time heals.

Hi Juliet, would it be possible to get the title of the tune playing in this clip? Thanks!

[@rbruce63]

Juliet is that the gravel bike or is it your roadie? By the way, what a beautiful place!

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Road bike. Sure is

[@oliverfox838]

It would be nice to know a bit more about Nelson as a person if that’s not too intrusive. I know from my own experience the brain is a pretty dodgy piece of gear, but it can be calmed by a good old bike ride. Thank you for your videos, they help me get out there.

[@Macca78]

You live in great place im definitely going have spend sometime down there and take my bike. I'm more of a mountain biker but be fine i lost my mum to cancer 19th of December 2018 only 52 but my mum and dad use take me and my sister butlins in Minehead when we was kids so be nice stay in hotel there and have chicken burger sat on sea wall she always bought us one.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]
