You're a tough cookie. Love to see trucks in the desert, it makes an event feel complete.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

aw thank you, I didn't feel it! haha The trucks are absolute monsters hey, the energy when they go past is epoc

[@rvrebel2209]

Hat's off to your Austrian guardian angel. Never did this but long distance bicycling have been blessed with a few angels that with our combined strength's made positives out of negatives.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

I love that, combined strengths!! hehe so true. I had the navigation skills for sure, he lovely following me. And my goodness his strength and companionship was lovely for me

[@rodneyhanbaum697]

Wow! absolutely amazing! then riding through the desert in the darkness had to been super wild, with your senses keen on alert! Congratulations! 13 hours in the sand straight ❤❤❤❤ Great job!

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed watching! It sure was a wild day!

[@dougbach7105]

You are an inspiration to me and all of us. I am so impressed with your "can do" attitude. I haven't been following you long or riding long but your quickly becoming one of my favorites on youtube. Thank you for taking us to new and exciting places... Please stay strong, never give up.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Aw that's so kind. Thanks lovely. So appreciate the encouragement and energy.

[@AndrewSmith-hy8gl]

[@AliHoran-y4t]

I love the metal music that plays while you're riding! You're a huge inspiration to me as a new female rider x

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Yey! I love to hear that, thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching! Keep riding and enjoying woo!

[@retiredwaterdoctor]

Great ride...it is usually better with a buddy to ride with on a long haul...keep up the great work.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

yeah so so true. My goodness his strength and companionship was lovely for me

[@robaylmer2450]

What a sterling performance Vanessa, exhilarating even from in front of my computer screen, what an amazing ride. I would like to say a big thank you for taking the time a trouble to add an epilogue to the days events when you are so tired and worn out! Your guardian angel did an excellent job both with riding and keeping your morale up! 😍😍🐰🐰🐣🐣🏍🏍🌹🌹

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Aw my pleasure Rob. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment

[@JBP_ADV]

Awesome episode Vanessa 👍

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Yey thank you for watching

[@phillipchandler8862]

That was real tough ☀️☀️ Well done Vanessa. You were well charged up at the end there. Shame about the poor mouse😩

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Oh the poor little fluffy 🫣

[@timstanton2241]

Wow! What along day. I can’t last that long on a road trip. Best to you Vanessa!

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Thanks Tim, it really was long. And to then mentally know you have 10 more days... yikes

[@cherylverkerk719]

You got this! Just keep enjoying it 😊 and thanks for taking us along for the ride. Really inspiring ❤

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Aw my pleasure. Thank for being here with me and taking the time to comment

[@enduromotorradtouren]

13 hours in the saddle in such a difficult environment. Racing to Dakar is not a glamorous lifestyle ;-) That's where we need a guardian angel. Günter/Nürnberg

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Hehe yes very true! We were a good team indeed. Thanks for watching

[@RileyTrafford]

Hi i’m from the school that you visited last week well done! By the way i subbed!

[@RileyTrafford]

Yarnton by the way!

[@RileyTrafford]

My name is riley!

[@RileyTrafford]

Keep up the good work (I’m year 6)

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Yey thanks Riley, I really appreicate that! I had an ace time at your school, and driving Sid onto the playground hehe, I hope you enjoyed it too

[@RileyTrafford]

@@TheGirlOnABike Oh i definitely enjoyed it!😁

[@AtypicalVagabond]

Just coming over to check out your channel from the earlier discussion. This is awesome content and I'm going to share this with my moto heads.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Aw dude. Thank you. That's mad cool of you

[@Steve-Debs]

The difference in mind set between wanting to win or place high , and just finishing the event is huge. To just finish is an achievement in itself. By the way you had a walk by feature in the latest Harley Davidson Pan America ad covering the rally.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

yeah defo agree! The level to be ranking and that mindset of risk is bonkers. I chatted to Pol Tarres a few times and he said he's basically playing with his life every minute with the pace racing!! Mental. Oooo I will have a watch and stop me hehe, thanks for letting me know

[@dondle2]

Go Lady Go.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

yey thanks lovely

[@weddincoyote2440]

Watching this is pretty inspiring. Its motivating me to get back to the gym to regain fitness and start to learn rally raid. Would love to do one of the many UK rallies. Then maybe broaden the horizon. You are pretty f ing amazing. Keep it up!!!!

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Aw yey! That is ace to hear! Keep pushing and work towards that goal 💪 Hope to see you out there one day! Thanks for watching

[@ekkiplicht7283]

Best winglady one could ask for. Good luck, keep on, highly exciting to watch.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

[@TheGirlOnABike]

[@Steve-Debs]

[@EireRider.motorcycle.adventure]

Long days riding. 13hrs. Hopefully you have a shorter day in the next episode. Thanks for a great episode Vanessa. Looking forward to the next one.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

it really was a long one, and to then know you have 10 more days. Yikes! Aw thanks so much for the support, so many more episodes to come too hehe

[@EireRider.motorcycle.adventure]

@@TheGirlOnABike this kind of race is hard. I saw the race to Dakar with Charlie Boorman a few years ago. Days got longer and longer.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Definetly!

[@mar0364]

Damn girl. That picture made me think twice before clicking. Keep it up. You deserve some hotel camping on the next trip.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

haha pretty horrific hey! lol, it's made what these races do to us. A hotel sounds good!! Thanks so much for clicking and taking the time to comment

[@sergioscalia5922]

Happy easter 🤗🤗🤗

[@TheGirlOnABike]

yey you too

[@kenduro007]

Well done

[@TheGirlOnABike]

❤️

[@Lew699]

10:47 what a shot!!

[@TheGirlOnABike]

haha yeah, the helicopter had a good view! lol

[@MeerkatADV]

Have you found it's better to put your camelback in the backpack or on the airbag vest? I just got the Astars off road airbag and am trying to figure out the most comfortable way to carry my water.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

I always run a Mosko backpack to be honest, I've never tried just in the airvest as I always want my snacks, food and tools. I'd be interested in what you decide

[@dougsrepair1060]

If I were to ever compete in a race like this, I would wear false eyelashes too.❤

[@TheGirlOnABike]

🤣 except my eyelashes are real

[@EireRider.motorcycle.adventure]

I'm sure you were relieved at that fuel stop at 13:15 😅

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Definitely!! I would not fancy another night in the dunes like Tunisia haha

[@EireRider.motorcycle.adventure]

@@TheGirlOnABike riding st night must be something. At least you weren't too late.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

👍

[@sayitaintsl0w]

My Gosh, you look like Joan Crawford from Mommy Dearest in that thumbnail. Hope you get some much needed rest badass lady!

[@TheGirlOnABike]

haha it's pretty terrifying hey lol

[@nickfarrimond3018]

Great video, hats off to you for your riding skills, but please lose the appalling metal soundtrack.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Aw sorry to hear you didnt like the music, I like to have variety over the videos so it doesnt get bland and all the same, so dont worry it is not always like that hehe. Thanks for watching though, glad you enjoyed it!

[@majoy-osterlundfreeman5425]

I really like to watch this But I just Hate the shitty rock music 👎

[@TheGirlOnABike]

oh poop, sorry to hear that. Thanks for the feedback

[@skymningforelsket1302]

Don't leave home without ur air vest and ur lesbian buddy🌮

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Haha exactly

[@Eatcrow]

Just doing the event is a task and a half but doing pieces to camera before and after takes the biscuit! 💝 Try some Potassium Alum mineral salts deodorant which allows you to sweat but stops the bacteria multiplying which causes the smell, it’s a game changer and much more healthy not to put load on the sweat glands particularly for females to keep the gear safe and free from lumps, keep it up, not too far now … 🫡

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Thanks lovely, that's a cool idea. I will have a google, thank you. Yeah you're so right on the filming side, it's a huge huge extra load on racing. I was so glad to be able to take the lovely girls with me to help with that! Massively supported me
