L'EROICA - BEST RIDE EVER with Grand Tours Project

[@333wheeler]

Nobody does retro better than the Italians ! Like belonging to a different decade for the day .. Perfect day out.

[@8259lv]

Brilliant well done both of you love watching you both. You’re such a ray of sunshine!😊😅

[@garysladek9110]

No shame in walking down steep grades on an unfamiliar bike. I once climbed a grade, so steep , that when I turned to go down, I had to ask for a lift for me and the bike. The driver said, " That's why you're still alive. You understand when there is real danger." Cheers to both of you! That looked fun.

[@farrar5197]

You are riding really good on that gravel To say you we’re both on vintage bikes with skinny tyres and you had little time to get used to the bikes. You had never been to that area before. Not bad Amy, not bad at all.

[@17cream]

I feel Kyle has grown in happiness during this trip 😂

[@Tarmaccyclocross]

Love your jersey takes me back 🤣🤣the little fiat 500s looked great. Those bikes are like what I used to race on I’m an old 🐐🚴‍♂️🚴🏽‍♀️👍

[@ianbarbar3869]

Chapeau! Heat wave😂🤣

[@sillypuddystl2907]

All these amazing adventures; makes me want move to Europe for a year.

[@mikeprytherch8875]

Walking is absolutely the right thing to do, a couple of friends do this every year and keep trying to persuade me to do it, might do it after seeing this, wonderful

[@andrewmcalister3462]

1:36 Everyone grinding some “vintage” gears. What an awesome event, Amy.

[@mrewers2316]

That looked amazing. Love the bikes, love the jerseys. Weather looked perfect. 😊

[@rodneybannister9014]

Brilliant stuff 👏👏👏

[@babyshiori]

[@JP-oe3zp]

Another excellent video Amy and what an awesome trip that was, thanks for sharing your adventures with the rest of us around the globe! You enthusiasm and joy for cycling is great to see. BTW there was a 53y.o male cyclist spotted decending a hill in Coffs Harbour, Australia this morning yelling yipeeeee wooooohooooo (might have been me) please keep the great content coming. JP

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Thank you 🫶🏼 haha I love to hear that, yipeeeee all the way!!

[@sdmike1141]

Amazing! Thanks for bringing us along!!

[@billwelsh7489]

Thanks Amy and Kyle for sharing your experience. Loved every minute of it. I've been to Italy (including Siena) so it was special to me. I cycled in Tuscany but haven't done L'Eroica. That would be awesome, as you already know! I'm so happy you had to opportunity to do it. Chow, Bella!

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Thank you for watching! If you ever get the chance to do it, go for it!

[@mistersmith158]

You deserve all this Amy, and you keep telling yourself that. Nice dancing very appropriate moment. Amy you're an apple a day girl for sure. Great trip and videos ding dang dilleo indeed TTFN to you AMY!!!

[@steppings5645]

Everything about the trip and today looked awesome! Loved the bikes and the jerseys, the roads, the food, weather etc. etc.

[@ashleyfrancis2903]

This looks amazing 🎉

[@buzzman4860]

Beautiful ride. I am thankful for modern bikes and equipment.

[@babyshiori]

16:01 that hill looks steep, but exciting. i live in San Francisco, we have steep hills and it’s scary at times.

[@moobaz8675]

Stonking! I did the L'Eroica Britannica in 2015 and 2017 from Bakewell through the Peak District..Fantastic ride, great atmosphere but the original blows it out of the water! That's another one to add to the list for next year. Anyway, you both looked like you had a cracking time. It's amazing where a bit of creativity, hard work and personality can take you. I'm sure the adventures will keep on rolling.

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

It's a shame they don't do it in the Peak District anymore! Yes if you can do it, defo do it was amazing! Thank you 🫶🏼

[@alicia_francis_]

Amazing!!❤

[@russellfowkes4054]

What a great little series, loved it, well done.

[@duncanrhodes4778]

Brilliant.

[@griehle99]

What a wonderful trip for the two of you in such a beautiful place. I loved watching every bit of it.

[@wally-perez]

Lovely experience.

[@andrewcalladine2507]

Looks like an awesome trip, great weather, incredible views and an Italian food and drink, what's not to like.

[@peterobrien5928]

Looking forward to this vide. Retro bikes and all. ❤🚲🚲

[@jefftewson8798]

Heat wave....!!! Love it !!

[@MadMarchTaffy]

My brakes gave up on that last descent too - I ended up walking - either that or serious injury - well done and thanks for the video

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Hope you enjoyed it!! Yes always best to be safe!

[@djduffy1000]

Wow it looked an amazing cycle race/journey. Loved all the old bikes and cloths your really captured the spirit of the occasion. Thank you.

[@chrisstrider]

Friction gears happy memories 😅 What a stunning event

[@bikes7cats1dog]

Was thinking the same when I saw them fixing the friction lever. You never had to worry about indexing properly.

[@bee_whisper]

well done to you both honestly one of the few channels i religiously tune into

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Ahh thank you! 🥰

[@martinevans1256]

That’s awesome I love those classic bikes

[@malcontent_1]

Beautiful ride. Wonderful event.

[@soumafan]

Thank you for sharing your rides this week. The views have been amazing, as has your enthusiasm. Congratulations on making it through all that gravel on the final day, and congratulations to Michael too, wherever he may be! I have one request though: can someone make sure that there's a camera on Nige when he sees the bit about the loose shifter lever?

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

😂

[@robertappleby9490]

That was fantastic co, Rele well Dun Both of you . Really good job 👍👍😺😺😺💞

[@fensterputzernuernberg]

[@Appreciate2704]

🫶🫶🫶👏👏👏🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️😊😊😊🍎🍎🍎 Well done Amy and Kyle .. you both fitted in so well to the retro era 🫶♥️.. great content Amy .. loved it 🥰

[@MP-th4nx]

Great series ... thank you for sharing. If I still lived in the UK I'd look to do one of the Grand Tour events, but Australia is just a bit to far away.

[@Appreciate2704]

Grand Tour Project trip .. 🫶👏👏👏👏.. definitely going to book .. thanks for showing my partner and I what a blast 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️.. the tours are .. cheers 🍻 🍎🫶

[@waynerenshaw-multi-outdoor4521]

Made me giggle on them descents Amy sound like Mr mcgoo lol 😅😅great vids Kyle flying as usual... 👍🚴🚴💨💨

[@smellyelle8422]

Wooo hoooo! Kyle's top of the hill dance!👌😁

[@brianpurcell9058]

Crackin' trip 👌👌

[@AntoineThisdale]

hahhaha so cool, im just back from there. (i know these videos are quite late). Was beautiful. The White Road was very special ;)

[@markrae7664]

Kyle’s a natural dancer 🎊

[@phoogarts3446]

It really is the best ride, a beautiful place, great food stops and a great mix of people :)

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Yes sooooo nice!

[@carl90210]

Love to do that, but on my modern S Works Tarmac bad boy

[@michaelhood8529]

That looked like a fantastic ride. I can't wait to go and do that ride myself. I've did the L'Eroica California ride last year and it was a fun ride but doesn't look like it even compares to the original.

[@thecampingastronomer8554]

Aah, friction shifters and toe clips & straps. Happy memories from my youth 😊

[@rogergauss7877]

I still have my 1982 Fuji, but I don’t think I’d travel all of the way to Italy with it.

[@lmdu78]

Magnifique !

[@nicorodman4604]

It's funny, cycling seems to be getting so expensive nowadays but you have one of your best days on a eight,s steelie,lifes not all about biggest and best🙂

[@andrewjohnson9896]

I did London to Brighton many years ago with slipping gears, to be shown at the end jow to tighten up the changer!😂😂😂

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

😂

[@therealbonj]

love the stringback gloves, bit of extra purchase 😅

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Yes couldn't resist!

[@robertpeterson8640]

Great video Amy! Does anyone do bikes and food better than the Italians? I think not!

[@wheelwizard8219]

Don't worry about fitting the Jersey Amy it will srink if washed in the washing machine.The latest jersey are not as back as the original 100% woolen jerseys Ciao

[@neilplatt1111]

Hi Amy & Kyle What an opportunity, what an adventure. Italy 🇮🇹 is the Mecca of cycling for mine. Try to have all my bikes Italian themed and all my clothes too. Amy, what do you do for a job as you have really made your channel take off from its fledgling days x Best to you both for 2024

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

It was such a great ride! I work in the NHS in finance ☺️

[@neilplatt1111]

​@@amy.cycling.adventures yes i started road riding in 87 - it was the holy grail to have campag groupsets. Took 2 years to save up for my first proper roadbike - Pete Matthews handbuilt 531c campag chorus group and wheels, cinelli bars & stem and miche post and selle saddle. Pete was doing bike fits then, so its not a new thing, a true master craftsman and wheelbuilder - that bike fitted like a saville row suit. I was off! The really big difference for mine has been the clothing, it was awful back than and even worse as the temp dropped much tougher as protection was a minimal lol.

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

@@neilplatt1111 ahh that’s awesome bet it felt great to get that bike! Haha yes I can imagine it wasn’t as comfy!

[@andrewainsworth8716]

Bikes with skinny tyres that's how it should always be,well done amy

[@BikepackingAdventures]

Kyle's top of the hill dance was long overdue 😅😅😅

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Yes it was!! 😂

[@stuartcaughlin2788]

I think that the guy who fell into the ditch was maybe Christian Slater?

[@therealbonj]

I presume it’s mandatory to ride a vintage italian bike then…. is Di2 allowed or is it banned 😂

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

You have to ride a pre 1987 bike so no Di2 allowed! 😂

[@chasjm21]

Who needs exorbitant modern bikes that can't be fully serviced a home.

[@johndutson4971]

A good challenge for yourself if you get to do it again, No Getting off the Bike, Ride all the way, I know you can do it

[@TheHaining]

Unfortunately what were once very down-to-earth events are being totally ruined by companies that charge an absolute fortune and pamper their clients rotten. I know, not much that can be done about it, but it's transformed the nature of cycling. A bit of a shame, really. p.s. it might have been worth mentioning that the full Eroica is actually 209 km long.

[@ajc389]

You need to be careful when typing the name of this event into your search engine.

[@rivergladesgardenrailroad8834]

not many Girls out there...Do you have modern tyres please, obviously not tubeless as the rims are not sealable.

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Hiya! I’m not actually sure what tyres were on the bike but yes they were modern ones

[@somewhereuk1957]

Will you please stop making these videos and making all of us insanely jealous .....

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Sorry! 🫣
