Cheep, cheekens, and wind from the front. Classic buzzalong! 👍

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Yes 😂

[@marcelodomingos1060]

Oi. Vc é brasileira ?

[@MrBaguety]

Last few days I watch so many videos on your channel. Great content. You made me want to try to do a few brevets on my own. Thx for the inspiration

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Thank you so much 😊 really happy you enjoy the videos

[@Tarmaccyclocross]

Handful of haribos at a time that’s the way 👍well done 🚴🏽‍♀️👍👍

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Yes 😂 thats my super power, can eat a bag of Haribo in under a minute

[@dannyzuehlsdorf3697]

beautiful scenery and always funny to see your friends, the cheap. haha! keep cycling!

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Thank you :)🐑

[@markjthomson]

lol... every good brevet has the sheep! This is absolute truth! Where I do a lot of my riding we also get the cows, sometimes crossing the road at milking time.

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Yes 🐑 here in Netherlands there are not many cows but you always bump in to some sheep

[@Garfie1d73]

Respect! That was a long ride. I know that I would not have finished ... 😉

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Thank you :) it is a really good challenge

[@raytheron]

Great video! You are very good and it's great watching your videos. Lovely countryside to cycle through, too!

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Thank you 🙏

[@knutselaardre1272]

Well done! Congratulations! You almost passed my backyard.

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Thank you :) really nice area

[@MX5Fanatic]

Haribo should sponsor you. I know I carry Haribo on my rides now.😊😊😊

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

yes 😂 maybe one day, new objective to try as many different Haribos as I can find

See u there. 600 next weekend and ready to register

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

See you there :)

[@odetocycling]

Watching your vlog for inspiration for my 400 (and 300, for that matter). Nice you rode as part of a group for part of it. Lucky with the weather. Could be mistaken for a European pastry tour!

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Indeed, always nice bakeries near or as checkpoints, it was super fun! Good luck for your 400 brevet

[@wescheslak9408]

You have one of my favorite channels. ❤

Just completed my first 400km brevet here in Canada. 🇨🇦 Well done. All the best on PBP. Keep making great content.

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Amazing! how did it go? thank you, hope to be able to ride in Canada one day

[@FredChagnon]

@@Buzzalong.cycling it was a full value affair. 26:23. Daytime was rainy and windy. Night time was cold...just over freezing. I was dressed properly for all occasions but all that gear was packed in my bike when I wasn't wearing it. Great experience. Looking forward to faster 400s when the weather isn't so evil.

[@umihura]

Beautiful video!

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Thank you :) see you in another brevet, hopefully i can also wear short bibs 🌞

[@frida12349]

Chapeau..!!

Thanks :)

[@metodoventurelli]

Great!! BRAVA! and by next Saturday also I attempting my 400 k brevet (at Bologna hills - Italy) and on three weeks 600 k to qualify for PBP.., hoping we will see sure at start line ;-)

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

amazing! super nice area, good luck. See you there :)

[@jessicabrown729]

Watching your videos is always relaxing and inspirational! Thank you!!!

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Glad you like them! Thank you :)

[@Jaqaroo]

That was great! Your videos motivate me to get out and ride further. Maybe your next ride is 600km...? Good luck to you both!

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Thank you :) really happy to hear that. Yes next one tomorrow 600 km in Groningen

[@TheBigfoot88]

Pretty cool. This brevet passed through my hometown, I should check the Belgium Brevets. Thanks for that hint! Congratulations on your success, maybe see you in Paris.

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Thank you, :) yes they have really nice brevets. See you there

[@rbuenafe100]

That was great! Beautiful and scenic ride. Subscribed from a fellow cyclist from NYC!

Amazing distance 💪🏻👍🏻💪🏻

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Muchas gracias :)

[@waisinglee1509]

Congrats on finishing! As a side note, your rear light is obscured by the rear wheel, it may be a good idea to supplement it with a seat stay light or a light on the saddlebag. Ciao!

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Thank you for the tip :) will do

7:18 100Km without food and with a headwind, after what you had already been through? I can't imagine having that kind of grit. Kudos!

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

thank you so much :)

[@dirkv1537]

Good music. Well done !!

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Thank you :)

[@helmiwijaya7]

that was fast, i did my first 400km randonneur in 23 hours, from dawn to dawn in Indonesia

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

thank you, I guess you have much more elevation in Indonesia, this brevet was pretty flat :)

[@edwardcromarty891]

I like your channel. Your hands were cold? I use the Sealskin Merino wool gloves underneath my winter bicycling gloves. I cycle through the winter in NY State, they keep my hands nice and warm. Merino wool socks, cycling skull cap under helmet, neck/face gaiter, and layering clothes help to keep warm on cold winter days.

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Thank you so much for the helpful tip :) will try them out. Really happy you enjoy the videos, I hope to be able to visit NY State on day.

[@edwardcromarty891]

@@Buzzalong.cycling They just finished the Empire State trail north from NYC to Canada and across from Albany to Buffalo. And the Lake Champlain Waterway is the longest bicycle waterway in the world. There is a lot to do!

[@tonystroudlewis6333]

I really enjoyed this video, I’ve done a 400 and would love to do PBP, but I think I’ll be too old for the next one.

[@paulkent8603]

Congrats on completing your haribo charged 400 km brevet 👏. Do you think that chickens (or chooks, as we call them in Australia 😁) will also become your loyal friends like the sheep? Really enjoy watching your videos, wherever you may be riding. Have you qualified for PBP yet?

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Thank you so much Paul :) Maybe, but I have a special connection with sheep 🐑 one more brevet to qualify missing the 600 km, doing it this weekend. Looking forward to it

[@paulkent8603]

@@Buzzalong.cycling Good luck for the 600 km brevet this weekend Sherry. I'm sure you will boss it as long as you have plenty of places to resupply with haribos 😆

Loving the videos! Some of the best ultra cycling content out there😀 Do you use a gimbal for camera stabilisation? Or are you using Sony Catalyst Browse? Your videos are very stable given it's all recorded from a bicycle. Very curious how you are doing it.
