How fast can I race 400km through 3 countries?

[@thomaswightwick]

What a queen you are Juliet 👸🏼So inspiring! I can never complain about the rough roads of London on my commute 🙃

[@tomtimar]

It was great to be nostalgic on the video and to see how others were fighting on the pitch, not just me. We met at the petrol station in Pula, and then you really beat me :)

[@duathlete827]

What an outstanding achievement. Congratulations. Loved watching you on a couple of climbs where you were riding with no hands, shooting video, talking with ease while a guy behind you is zig zagging back in forth just trying desperately to keep his pedals turning lol. On another climb, same thing but the guy behind you is clearly struggling and climbing all over his bike like an octopus trying to get just a bit more power to keep moving forward lol. Great stuff on video. I'm happy when I can ride an hour!

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

thank you! Ah, well I might not be able to ride all night without stopping but I've mastered filming on climbs!

[@Francesco_M.]

Superb effort leading to a tremendous achievement Juliet! 👏 Me personally, I would have stopped somewhere at midnight to rest until 5 whereas I was under the impression that you went deep into the dark night and barely took a tiny little nap. Sleep deprivation usually kills me ! Enchanting views by the way =] Make a safe trip back home even though I doubt that you are going to stay put once you will get there 😄 😊 🌞🌝 🇮🇹 👋

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Thank you. In fact I stopped quite early - you normally have to if you want to stay indoors as the guest houses close. So that's why people tend to start again so early in the morning. I stopped about ten and tried to leave again about 4 but couldn't find my bike or the way out of the guest house so that delayed me a bit

[@fidelcastro9579]

Slovenia is stunning. Cycling around Lake Bled is a must. Excellent work!

[@Chriswilliams-lx9mx]

Personally I thought lake bohing was nicer 👍

[@fidelcastro9579]

@Chriswilliams-lx9mx I stayed there aswell. Just found Lake Bled hotels and restaurants a bit more sorted than Lake Bohinj. This was back in 2006 so I'm guessing things have changed now.

[@Chriswilliams-lx9mx]

Yes your dead right regarding hotels and what not we road our motorbikes to there and then hired mountain bikes,I like the peace and quiet to be honest either way it’s a beautiful country all the best 🚴🏻👍🙏

[@BrianMaynardLetsDoThisThing]

Congratulations. Love your attitude 🍾

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Thank you so much!!

[@wolfgang1230]

Was a great ride, I was a long time around you until the supermarket after the long descent. There I took a longer break and from then on, I didn't see you anymore. Clearly my Mtb hardtail was the better choice at least for first 200 km. Outstanding that you did it in one shot.

[@idontneedid]

Thank you for taking us on this ride with you. Huge achievement, to put it mildly. As for Pula: I stayed there for about ten days two years ago and your impression was correct. It is a stunningly beautiful place and you should absolutely go on vacation there with your family. :)

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

lucky you. Hopefully I'll make it back there with them sometime : )

[@barryf1966]

Brilliant Juliet what an adventure

[@nicolorebellato3101]

my fork and my wrists are still thinking about that descent! well done juliet...thumbs up!!!

[@nicolorebellato3101]

PS: i was the one who took the initiative to design that route detour because of the rally race in Porec hahaha that S3 segment was quite gnarly tho! :P

[@gregsettle9725]

Great video, great ride! The best thing about long rides is at the halfway point, you're riding home. Well done!

[@adisapoet]

Well done Juliet. Loved the video, Your cinematography skills have gone through the roof. You smashed it on every level.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@CanyonWanderer]

First of all: congratulations! Lovely scenery by the looks of it, great how you made it through the night time, despite some obstacles!

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Many thanks!

[@GeminiAC33]

Wow such beautiful scenery and you done amazingly well nice one congrats.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

thank you

[@thomaskremser3253]

This race was a blast - so beautiful but hard as well... I was better dressed with a mountainbike and I enjoyed two nights on the track. Saw you at the start and a couple of times on the track - well done pushing through!

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Thank you. Hope you had a good ride!

[@MikeYankel]

You really seemed to stay positive throughout although I'm sure the struggle was real! I think I would have been more pissed about missing turns than you were - this is why you're the star and we're the followers :)

[@finnbarnett9694]

Love these types of videos - you at your best!

[@facingup1624]

Love seeing you do awesome stuff like this! Way to go!

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Thank you very much!

[@Emonk2010]

Looked properly tough, well done!

[@jasonglenn4965]

Well done you, that looked brutal. 👍

[@moobaz8675]

Impressive. That looked tough but a cracking route. Yet another event to add to my ever growing list.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Go for it!

[@mistersmith158]

Excellent you did it Juliet!!!

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Thank you!!

[@karengleason4791]

Impressive ride!! Thanks for sharing !

[@jamesshuttleworth6967]

That looked tough! Great video, thanks for sharing your experience

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

It was! Thanks for watching

[@henrydesterke3851]

Very good! Congratulations!

[@jekyll8004]

Well done, Juliet!! 🎉 I was willing you to the end the whole time, do glad you made it!

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Thank you! 😃

[@ArtDrawColour11]

Fantastic achievement well done and loved the video.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Many thanks!

[@smf1384]

best content to date, well done

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Thank you 😊

[@gregorybraithhunter]

Definitely pretty there! Way to go! All km's are not created equal (depending on terrain). I'd put this vid in your greatest hits. Peace!

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Thank you, glad you thought it was a good one. Was fun to make!

[@johnmcnulty1129]

Well done J, great vlog and accomplishment. Lucky you didn't jump in the waters off Croatia, there's over 40 species of shark sashaying their way round the Adriatic !

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Oh wow!

[@micheandmikey]

You're just too much fun....congratulations on your ride!!!!

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Thank you!!

[@davidcaush5036]

Epic, Epic ride Juliet. Pleased you were able to dig deep and finish. On your gravel bike, because of the mix of gravel and tarmac, what tyres were you using?

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

I was using WTB Raddler 44s

[@bromptinowner763]

Beast Mode Jules ! Well Done !

[@gianpaolocunha]

Well done!!!

[@andrewnorris5415]

Epic 250 mile ride over day 2 days. Noticed on Strava you had a stop in Premantura. Wise move. Worth trying with just a sleeping bag and basic mat for an overnighter. Not heavy and gives a sense of freedom. Don't need all that much sleep over two days, can catch up later.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Yes, I'd like to try something a race using a bivvi and mat. Maybe my next one?

[@SingleTrackMined]

Yay! Good on you!

[@andrewoliphant9637]

Well done chuck awesome ride 👏 x

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Thank you

[@bubblesezblonde]

Kudos!!!!! Well done.

[@woodyalwayshardboner3403]

Kudas 👍🏻

[@jamesherd9132]

Well Done Juliet

[@dafred9898]

Congrats!

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Thank you

[@cyclingmrc]

Awesome effort young lady

[@onederment]

Cor you did well. True Grit. My knees would flair up on the 2nd day with all that. That's my excuse.. have you ever tried komoot. It's supposed to have audio blue tooth turning notifications on routes. I think you are very brave

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

My knee was unhappy too I"m afraid. I tend to prefer Ride With GPS for nav and they also have that feature

[@lizzypicardi]

Wooof that looked hard!

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

It was. But also super fun

[@D_isco_D_ancer]

The weather was perfect.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

100%

[@wsbygt]

M o r n i n g ! (even though I´m watching the video while eating a dinner dessert)

[@D_isco_D_ancer]

This was epic.

[@alqubes]

that was in Istria

[@ScottBaker1]

What are those things on the fork at the end of the video?

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Not sure what you mean, what things? It’s a Lauf fork, perhaps that’s it? They’re quite unusual looking

[@ScottBaker1]

@@JulietElliottsChannel Thats it! Had no idea that was a thing! Very neat. Thanks! Keep up the great content!

[@sci-fyguy7767]

Gravel? Some of those roads looked more like ROCK! 😮

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Ha, they totally were!!

[@D_isco_D_ancer]

I would love to do this race.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

hope you make it over there.

[@chrisstrider]

What a beautiful country or three 😊

[@Jazzishouse]

Your Restrap discount code doesn't work 😞

[@Jazzishouse]

turns out the actual code is JELLIOT15 - just the one T!

[@billhulley]

Chapeau!

[@gearmonger8616]

Sorry, may have been stated, but Juliet what clothing line is that you're wearing? Love your spirit, you inspire my wife and daughter (an me)!

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Thank you! I'm wearing Veloccio for this race and I really rate it. Will be reviewing it asap

[@peterhearnden7634]

Well done Juliet. Was it brave to switch to ride the whole 400km without much in the way of stopping.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

thank you

[@richardharris8538]

What the heck are you gonna do to top that, Juliet? Anyway, well done! (I feel like I don't deserve to call myself a cyclist now.)

[@villuarak]

Couldn't help but notice that you and Estonian prime minister Kaja Kallas look very much alike. Perhaps you can do a secret career swap now and then, to freshen things up? :)

[@alainpryt9641]

👏👏👏👍👍👍🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🌷

[@petervonl]

Wow, what a beautiful ride. You have a military grade bum… 🫢😬❤
