IT ALL WENT SO WRONG.... 🙈

[@Neilhuny]

I'm not saying I live for your laugh, but (sorry) your donkey laugh at 7:21 is just the happiest, most wonderful life fulfilling thing! Long may the world hear it. For a video titled "It all went so wrong" this is one of the most joyous videos - we love you (always feel I have to add "in a right and proper way" these days)

[@KatieKookaburra]

Hahahaha it’s such a donkey laugh isn’t it?!! Hahahahah glad you like it. I know when that comes out it’s a full on belly laugh. I actually laughed the same editing it back hahahah. Eeeeyooooorrrr

[@malcontent_1]

I'm sure Chantal appreciated your "help" with her puncture 😛

[@KatieKookaburra]

Hahaha look that tube needed to be packed away :)

[@malcontent_1]

@KatieKookaburra 🤔 or else! Hahaha

[@malcontent_1]

Chantal is pretty awesome. You're fortunate to have so many good friends.

[@kimwalton2873]

Anything that makes a bike ride more adventury is a +.

[@the_andrewgrech]

Good to see you came to Malta. Cycling here is definitely not the best, but we still do it hahaha.

[@Creopaul]

Car driver shouting "have a nice day", something you never hear in the Uk 🙂

[@KatieKookaburra]

It was the NICEST thing ever eh?!! Made me day that 😎

[@SignorLuigi]

As others have said, the Katie laugh is to die for. It would make a great ring tone for your smartphone! 😊 Chantal is a lot of fun. If I can be so forward as to offer her some advice. I have been using TPU inner tubes for about 3 years now. Tried a lot of brands. The best TPU tube I have ever used it's the new RideNow TPU tube. It has a threaded, metal stem with a removable valve core. Rides like a dream. Weighs only 36 grams. And folds up to the size of about 4 dates (yum-yum). I've ridden about 1000 km on the pair I bought several months ago. No punctures. Full disclosure. I ride 99% of the time on tarmac.

[@Infinitesimal-ho7it]

Another biking duo good chemistry "adventure-y" ride. The common denominator is you, Katie!

[@KatieKookaburra]

Ahhh thank you. Or you mean the denominator of all the issues 🙃😂

[@rogerbourne7159]

Thanks for another great wee video Katie! I have had the gloopy mud problem here in Spain the last couple of weeks. Your enthusiasm for the two of you ia so refreshing! Take care and enjoy! Roger in Spain 77

[@KatieKookaburra]

Thanks Roger! Arghhh that mud hahahaha. But it’s always the tough rides / messy rides that are the most memorable :)

[@SMLPhotography1]

Punctures! Mud! Darkness! And yet, so cheerful through it all! 😊

[@DanEscapes]

Chantal is awesome, great to see her on the channel! Looks like you need an xc bike to ride of Gozo island, very fun day trip though. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@MrWinny11]

You’re laugh Katie 😂 best thing ever

[@KatieKookaburra]

Haha awwwwww thanks!! Little snorts here and there 🐷

[@StacyODell]

The infectious laughing had me cracking up

[@snowggirl]

Where to go next? Portugal! We just finished a 1000 kn bike tour. The Alentejo coast would be your jam.

[@MalcolmAber]

Hope you liked out little island :) yes, it's quite busy here in Malta and the roads are usually full of debree especially after it rains. hope to seel you again ;)

[@stevenbird1431]

Great episode, looked like a lovely trip 🚴🏼‍♀️💨🚴🏼‍♀️💨

[@KatieKookaburra]

Lovely?? This looks lovely to you??? hahahah. It was a great trip :)

[@lydiagould3090]

Went to Malta once for running race. Too built up and busy for my liking but looked like you had a laugh in spite of all the problems. 😊

[@timcollins340]

Having visited Malta many, many times in my time in the RAF I wouldn’t ever dare ride a bike there! Gozo would be better, but traffic in Malta is insane.

[@KatieKookaburra]

It is busier than I expected!

[@jimpeyton1459]

Lots of punctures! Thanks for your enthusiasm and infectious laugh. What did the hotel say when you returned with bikes caked in mud?

[@KatieKookaburra]

Nothing. But the next day they said to take the wheels off before taking them in the hotel hehe

[@wolfade89]

I knew you would end up going to Gozo. Our Katie loves a ferry ride. Kind of glad I gave Gozo a miss when I went, if it’s got mud bath roads.

[@KatieKookaburra]

Ahhh you know me well. I blummin love a ferry. You have to go. It was so pretty and the roads / trails very quiet haha

[@arvinl]

Apple Maps trick also works for wahoo. Thanks 🙏🏾

[@kamratdennis]

ooh that classic pottery clay going on :D i have only seen in on videos luckely never experiensed it my self. lovley vibe video !

[@KatieKookaburra]

[@June_Wong11]

You make me laugh and smile a lot. 😅😅😅 Thank you a lot too ❤❤❤

[@KatieKookaburra]

Awwww this is so lovely to hear. THANK YOU. Makes me want to make all the videos :)

[@June_Wong11]

Sure I enjoy watching all your videos.waiting waiting..😊😊

[@johnmcnulty1129]

Is Chantel related to Missy Elliott by any chance ? 😁 Time you spend hanging round while they "fix" their mechanicals, could've gone and circumnavigated Tasmania ! Great donkey sound effect vlog you two 🐴 * Get well & back on the "horse" soon Juliet 🙏 Song dedication Elbow 🎵 Throw those curtains wide It's looking like a beautiful dayyyyyyyyy 🎵

[@Neilhuny]

GREAT song - ditto best wishes to Juliet!

[@johnmcnulty1129]

Love Guy Garvey, Elbow slightly underrated, compiled a whole armoury of tracks over the years. May the cycling Gods watch over all of us around the 🌏 on two wheels 🙏

[@skipugh]

I absolutely hate getting sloppy mud on my shoes. So hard to clean. 😡 😡 😡. One time I tried to push through with my fat tire bike and got so much mud under my fender the wheel wouldn’t turn and I was at least 3 meters away from any “hard” ground. It took me well over an hour to get the wheel moving. 😅 😡 😢 😊 😝 😆 I love that you showered your bike. I wish I would have thought of that 👍👍

[@Oranoco]

You 2 need to do more stuff together, great chemistry. 😎

[@ScottBaker1]

Great video! too bad Chantal doesnt have a youtube channel, shes a natural on camera! Also go Canada!

[@AllanDownunder]

Katie, you of all people must know that in Australia tomato sauce fixes everything. 😂😂😂

[@KatieKookaburra]

Hahahahahahaha it's toooooo gross to think about.

[@chrisjoyce5539]

We holiday in Malta in September, my wife and I love the country to holiday in but not cycling. Spoke to taxi driver about cycling and he said that Maltese driving is bad and this summer two cyclists were killed on the roads. Be safe and enjoy

[@KatieKookaburra]

Eeeeek! Sorry to hear that.

[@tangomike01]

Brilliant ladies

[@stuartmiles1401]

Gozo is a fantastic little island.

[@fuxing81]

TPU is never reliable, the only befinit is light, but it means nothing when you have to replace it very often

[@stevep2430]

I promise you that you won't get in trouble, if you use those tire leavers to scrape the mud off your shoes and brake calipers. It would be better than that crumbling stick.😁

[@KatieKookaburra]

Steve.... I never even thought of that! That is GENIUS. Next time.... we all know there will be a next time haha

[@BokorRider]

pumping some air in a flat tube and listening for it escaping is usually quicker than just looking for the hole wont work well with big hole though...😀

[@KatieKookaburra]

We did that to repair the punctured one after the TPU one wouldn't work.

[@BokorRider]

@@KatieKookaburra what is tpu?

[@edwinhuizinga3042]

And I don't think Chantal was looking for the puncture but for the sharp that caused it since she was running tubes. It's no fun swapping a tube and have another flat in a few minutes because that tiny sliver of glass/rock/steel was still in there.

[@BokorRider]

@@edwinhuizinga3042 I carry tweezers just for that reason most of my punctures have been tiny bits of steel wire 🫨

[@PT456C]

Have you ever spent 5 minutes watching a riding buddy fix their puncture only to jump on your bike and realise one of your tyres has gone down too? Me? Never. No sirree.

[@KatieKookaburra]

🙊🤣

[@Rachaelmadethis]

Great video as always - love the content you make, but wanted to make a comment on your information about peppermint clothing as being inclusive size wise. The average UK dress size is a size 16, so to be inclusive a range would need to go either side of this size - peppermint - great at going smaller but their largest size is an XL - equivalent to a UK 16 - this is not really inclusive in my books. As women it’s great to have manufacturers on board to make women specific clothing but I think we need to be campaigning to get them to overhaul their sizing so that more women (of all sizes) can go out and have fun on a bike!

[@KatieKookaburra]

They have XXL also. I think they are changing over seasons so stock isn’t the highest at the minute. But I would agree just an XL isn’t enough. But they do have larger than that in peak season. Thanks for highlighting it. We need way more options I agree.

[@thewelshwonder1965]

Why did you keep your helmets on when you were on the ferry?

[@KatieKookaburra]

Safety first. ALWAYS. 😛

[@duathlete827]

Cute friend and funny. Good entertainment lol.

[@sazridesbikes]

Love the vid. But the kit you mention only goes up to a uk 16, on checking the size guide it’s not at all size inclusive. Sorry Katie.

[@KatieKookaburra]

I’m pretty sure they do have larger than that - they might just be out of stock at the min… Let me speak to them :)

[@sazridesbikes]

Awww I looked on the site but XL was all they went up to, a 16 … if I’m wrong I stand to be corrected flower! Thank you 😊

A great example of planning and perseverance in the face of them inevitable setbacks … ta very much for this fun and inspirational video. I definitely need a “next” adventure even though it would be my first. PS: I’ve been tubeless five years now … so far so good! 🚴‍♂️⛰️🌞

[@KatieKookaburra]

Five years?! You have done good!! Where’s the next adventure??

[@GrenvilleMelonseedSkiff496]

@ Not sure but you’ve definitely got me thinking! Somewhere sunny and warm sounds about right with Zwift season looming!
