Mid-ride problems feat. Francis Cade, Ben Foster & Chris Hall

[@RockinMTBer]

I feel like Francis Cade appears on other people's channels more than his own.

[@KatieKookaburra]

He's the big cheese now :)

[@ChrisHallRides]

Always lovely to see you mate x

All of my favorite KZbinrs in 1 video.

All that information makes Chris feel ... umm informed. Also great to see him & Francis & GK Ben.

Looks like a chilled day out in the sunshine.

What a great uplifting happy video...... 😊

Great vid Katie, someone brought the sun back from the Tourmalet ! Brilliant cause. F # Off Cancer ☀️ 🐿

[@KatieKookaburra]

Thanks John!! Hope you’re doing well :)

[@johnmcnulty1129]

@@KatieKookaburra Always better for seeing you ! 😊

[@twowheel_love]

What a heartwarming video. Great seeing so many enjoying it!

[@barrybloye]

It looks like such a brilliant event! Definitely want to get involved next year. I did my first sportive in the New Forest last September. Camped amongst the trees and said hi to all the roaming animals on the way round. 😄 What a special place to ride!

[@GrenvilleMelonseedSkiff496]

A sunny day, lovely people and an excellent cause ... what more can you ask for! Well done!

[@MegaSixpac]

I follow Francis and Chris also. Nice group of people.

[@troycollett8540]

I met them while they did their trip across Australia and both are great guys

[@lumeerides]

Ahhh we were waaaayyyy too shy to say hello but somehow still ended up in the background of your video. You captured us falling in love with Chris Hall because he saluted my implementation of the ultimate Kookaburra special: wolftooth + dinner plate gears 😂🎉

[@CarnivoreDMD]

Thanks for taking us on such a FUN ride! Even though I train at a very high fast level, I ALWAYS use a small speaker on my bars for music, calls & of course, listening to your videos! I use a GARMIN 840 & a 500 simultaneously along with radar & power meter & still know I haven’t found out all the Garmins can do. Cheers from the USA Katie!

[@sandbanks12]

It was a great experience and big thanks to Garmin for organising this amazing event. It was great to catch up with you Katie and thank you for your support and advice before and after the ride. Enjoy next weekend Tour de Femme.

[@harryvanrijn6366]

Funny to see the Huerzeler tyre bag I recognise from Mallorca.

[@lawfy14]

Me, the Mrs and my 3 boys all just sat down and watched this. We even spotted me at the start so they think I’m famous now! Haha. Was great meeting you Sunday! Brilliant video as always, can’t wait for next year!

[@jimgonzales3366]

Awesome event! I love it when you say HELLO!

[@KatieKookaburra]

HELLOOOO!!! :) Glad you liked the event it's a highlight ride for me - socially great people and cracking route!

[@Oranoco]

Watching this whilst stuck behind my laptop doing some AutoCAD and now really want to head out on my bike lol

[@cyclingmac331]

After following you for a while now, and meeting you last year, I have been featured in one of your videos. Thanks for putting a smile on my face today. xxx

[@ariprotheroe]

This was one of my first cycling events being new cyclist. It was an amazing event and there was a great sense of community. Didn’t get to say hello but thanks for the content. It has helped me loads with getting into cycling

[@jslater9442]

Really enjoyed this video Katie. I'm a Garmin girl but I've never been to the New Forest and nor did I know of this charity. I'm returning back to cycling having been unable too for a year due to injuries and its slooowww, so I am setting goals and I will add this as a long term goal for next year. Reminder of cyclists being such a friendly bunch too❤❤

[@KatieKookaburra]

Yessss this is so good to hear you're back on the bike :) Next year for sure.

[@livpoksoc]

Loved this ride again. Great ride organised by a great team for a great cause. Life goal achieved to see Katie & Francis sail past me on the final climb 🤩

[@jamesmckenzie3532]

Can't wait to see Francis' version. It's also great to be championing health issues.

[@sarahedmonds4542]

Love ❤️ this day - thank you for the selfie with the fan girl (and for inviting me to ride with you… I thought I’d hold you back, but seeing that “find my friends” feature on the new #Garmin #Edge, I will next year!). Your energy, passion and enthusiasm are an inspiration - enjoy the Dolomites! Sarah x

[@darylv49]

Great Video Katie, nice to see you towards the end of the day. Enjoy your trip to France and hopefully this time you’ll get some cheers as you climb the Alpe d’Huez 👏 and maybe see you down in GC next spring for a ride up Soria? 😉🌞🚴🏽‍♂️😎

[@RobinCapper]

Great video, you (this video and your recent Pyrenees tour ride series) influenced me to buy a Garmin 1050 tonight :) Thanks!

[@jamesmarshall1673]

Glad you enjoyed the New Forest 🌳

[@billanders9199]

Makes me like Garmin even more. I've had a few and the latest is a 1040 and I love it!

[@karenmiller779]

Great vlog showing the day. Thank you for letting me ride in your slipstream for a bit. My 1st Garmin ride out but it won’t be my last.

[@1972andyb]

Great vid Katie. Great day as always. My 10th year. Lovely chatting to you after, thanks for the selfie. See you next year 😊

[@anthonyguglielmino971]

Second Garmin Ride, had another amazing day and was lucky to say hello to you at the end of the ride..... can't wait for Garmin Ride 2025 🙂

[@KatieKookaburra]

Me too!! Awww you’re so lovely thanks for being so nice. Let’s ride next year!!

[@Countrystock]

It was my 1st Garmin Rideout and won't be my last, such a great day. Thanks for your advice about double dipping with regards to the Chamois cream!!!

What a great event. From Toronto with love.

[@KatieKookaburra]

So good, and the WEATHER??!! Back to rain today though :( booo!

[@nickmallett7391]

I have a Bluetooth speaker in the water bottle cage between my aerobars. I love it.

[@benhaywood2510]

All my favourite roads.

[@happyharry7331]

Crikey I wish I’d known you were out in the forest i would have struggled out, alas i was laying gravel grids in the garden, the forest is brilliant and mostly flat👍 I can ride 100 mile circuit and only hit one set of lights, great weather most of the year

[@stever6773]

Hi Katie, I have just recently started following your channel and you have greatly inspired me to plan a Europe climbing ride soon. I am in the market for a new endurance bike and I am wondering if you have any thoughts around the best choices. I am leaning toward an aluminum frame, something like a Canondale Synapse with Shimano 105. My preferences would be comfort with the occasional speed trek. Not looking for perfection here, just your thoughts around what has worked well for you.

[@ForKnFifties]

My favorite part was the donkey 😊

[@andygoldensixties4201]

Jack is a lovely father, wishes to him and his family from my hearth

[@BikepackingAdventures]

Ah the new forest, never been, looks like a great place to ride bikes. =)

[@UtahTenkara]

I live in Utah and do mountain biking. I mtn bike only safe trails and dirt roads and also safe, lightly traveled urban areas. Could you please tell me why you chose to ride a road bike instead of a mountain bike? I am thinking of switching and I am curious your opinion on the advantages of a road bike.

[@ishyv185]

It was a great route, with fantastic weather and all for a good cause. The guest speakers were also top draw!

[@CyclingwithRuss]

Aw man I wanted to do this this year after your video last year. Going to look at signing up now ❤

[@Housecathst]

Rare footage of Francis Cade riding a bicycle 😮

[@thomasnutter]

is that a love bite on francis' neck? lol

[@FALplayFrase]

Ah I knew it was you, when we passed by the horses outside a shop and you were discussing the new group feature 🤣 3:19

[@DontSpySpying]

2:35 check that guys saddle height

[@MannBazza]

Whaaaat!

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

what is this gripper paste? i am new to garmin how do you get heart rate on it?

[@jel10ukkite]

Increases surface friction to reduce slippage and prevents seizing Reduces required tightening torque on handlebars, stems and seat posts

[@stevep2430]

I love how you English get so excited over the sun and then complain if it gets over 30 C. Looks like a fun day and good cause.

[@KatieKookaburra]

Ay I want it hot all year you won't hear me complaining of heat. ALL THE SUN PLEASE!

[@thebikepackingadventurer]

I ride these roads often as on my doorstep, but I still do it every year. Chief car park volunteer each year. May even start wearing some stupid outfits to bring more smiles

[@davewright8206]

6:12 thats a gamer hack so i dont get key, mouse ,gamepad greasey ( refuel and game on!) that could be also why im concentrating on bike stuff :)

[@Mike-xf7qm]

Ben talking about food. lol

[@robhord9925]

I did this ride for the first time this year and can definitely say i will be back next year, It was great to meet you Katie and have a selfie with you and i have to say you are lovely on screen and lovely off screen thank you.

[@KatieKookaburra]

Awwwww thanks so much Rob :) so glad you enjoyed it - had such a great day and hope the selfie was ok 🙂🙂

[@Phil-qz6oc]

Good morning? Good morning?! What the hell kind of greeting to another video is that?! 😂

[@edt6488]

Would it be an issue if one used a Wahoo on this ride?

[@carlpentney290]

As long as it's a Roam V1 with the delaminating screen 😉

[@jellybeans786]

Great video but Garmin have really annoyed me in basically downgrading previous products so quickly to sell new ones. A 1040 is just over two years old and already they are trying to brick it by not releasing new features. Utterly awful way to treat customers

[@Louisejames23]

Must be nice for Ben to meet a legend like you Katie 😊❤❤🚴‍♀️

[@grahamricketts-bq1ft]

Is this ride an Opportunity to discuss faults with your Garmins and your wish that you bought a Wahoo !

[@FoobsTon]

Dear Doctor, I've had a carbon bike for 12 years and never applied "carbon gripper paste" . Should I be worried?

[@BikepackingAdventures]

Depends if the seat post is also made of carbon; many are not. The paste is used when carbon components come into contact with one another - designed to eliminate slip - in the case of saddle this means it doesn't slide down.

[@FoobsTon]

@@BikepackingAdventures Pretty sure the post is carbon. Never slipped yet, though the saddle angle had slipped going over a few bumps. I'm generally of the opinion that less is more and if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[@Infinitesimal-ho7it]

"It's so windy on the stretch. How windy is it?" "It's so windy...I used to have a beard!" That festival has a lot of good vibes.

[@ivorpeachey4366]

What the F is gripper paste .

[@BikepackingAdventures]

Hey Ivor, thought you'd know that one. Essential if you use a carbon seat post, without it the seat post it liable to slide down. Personally I've never used a carbon seat post and don't plan to - it's just another thing can go wrong - keep it simple right?
