PACKING FOR PARIS - BREST - PARIS

[@kenwoodward6975]

Well done Amy BPB finisher!!!! never in doubt !!

[@davidswenton1038]

Kyle, that’s a smart looking bike! You’re a Gentleman, for carrying the cargo, and being the Pack Mule. Amy does appreciate it.

[@GrahamRicketts]

Impressed that you're riding to the start, hard core !

[@G_Otieno]

Good luck guys, all we ask for is good health during such a good and long ride; remember, steady and consistent in the first 600km is the key. We will be here waiting for some updates. Don't forget it's all about having fun.

[@zedddddful]

Good luck amy and kyle.

[@MagicM66]

Way to go. 72 hrs to completion. Congrats to both Kyle and Amy!🎉

[@mikebrett5458]

I'm now addicted to Chai Latte!!! Thanks Amy 😅. Love your content 👍

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Yay!!!

[@smellyelle8422]

Kyle and Amy! Have an amazing PBP😊 Can't wait to see how you get on🎉

[@ShawnIsBatman]

I am pulling for you and wishing you the best of luck! When times of doubt arise, just ride! Forward is the best speed.

[@1969Rake]

I REALLY like Kyle's Ribble. Steel is definitely real!

[@conradburdekin722]

YOU’VE DONE IT! Well done Amy and Kyle. I’ve been following your trackers from a camping site in Ashbourne! And boring my family and friends by repeatedly telling them where you’ve got to. Well done well done well done!!!

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

The no for following us along!

[@gerbryf]

You seem to be well prepared. All the very best for your adventure and enjoy your time. Looking forward to the updates 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🇫🇷XXX

[@tonybradford9061]

I love this. You are so relaxed. I was a stress ball getting prepared. Still glowing in the aftermath and off to walk Yorks 3 peaks next weekend.

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Ahh awesome well done! Haha I might have come off relaxed but I was a ball of stress for two weeks before it 😂

[@philippegateau5761]

Have a good trip! Good luck. I may see you between Carhaix and Loudeac. (if you need something...)

[@shivsnorman]

A good rear light option is a Varia radar - a great (variable) light and a rear view radar as well 👍♥️

[@tinac3094]

Been following your progress every day! Amazing amount of milones, I can't imagine how your codloins are!! Well done, both of you! Xxx

[@FreshAyers]

[@captkev737]

Amy & Kyle, Good luck & Best Wishes on this adventure, looking forward to following your progress

[@opus5204]

My suggestions, Lidocaine cream.. A real pain killer for those sensitive bits if necessary, Electrical Tape, zip ties and chain lube.

[@KTF1959]

All the very best of luck guys and enjoy.

[@jayvayzer]

Have so much fun! Both of you are very inspirational:) Thanks for sharing.

[@brianstevenson4529]

Good luck to you both , hope it goes well and will be looking forward to the video of the adventure, awesome stuff 👍👍

[@CaptBongo]

Miss Amy, Good Luck and God Speed on your adventure. Looking forward to next post.

[@reusserfarm1]

I just checked your trackers and you are currently at the halfway point and I’m happy to see you two are still together. Safe travels to Paris and I can’t wait to see the videos from your adventures together.

[@davidgallop484]

Keep up the good work , stay safe , all the best!

[@andrewmcalister3462]

Good Luck Amy and Kyle. Kyle will be riding with rocket assist once he takes those panniers off.

[@hakanaimountainmoon]

Good advice from Nige as ever. 👍Best of luck guys 🍀💪You’re gonna do great! (Chester’s expression at the end ☺️. . . Bless him)

[@somewhereuk1957]

Just looked at the weather.... dont think you need any were gear.... and light winds 6 to 10 !!!.... a blessing... bon chance!!!

[@bernderler2713]

Good luck and most of All enjoy yor ride

[@alexanderasdf2742]

Amy packed for touring, Kyle packed for camping 😂

[@hakanaimountainmoon]

😂 I thought he was bringing the panniers on PBP too for a minute!

[@MattScottMusic]

I asked a French person, and according to them ‘bicyclette’ is an old-fashioned term (my grandad used to use it) based on a brand name (like hoover for vacuum cleaner) and apparently French people say ‘vélo’ instead.

[@michaelwalker4242]

Amy and Kyle, my wife and I really enjoy your videos here in Aus. Best of luck for PBP 👍🍻

[@dkelly7159]

Those French Pans won't know what hit em when Kyle's finished with em! Bon Voyage AKA Bum Voyage 😹

[@seanedwards34]

Good luck guys,have a great ride and stay safe.

[@massorongsepeda]

wow .. Need Preparation for Long-Distance Cycling.. amazing

[@mistersmith158]

Looks very nice you both look ready and prepared. I didn't see the chill pills in Kyle's stuff, so make sure you get those for him LOL. Enjoy and we will follow you along as best we can; I can't wait to see the videos that you post later. All the best to you Amy and don't let anything take you out of the moment and have a glorious experience no matter what comes. TTFN back to you France will love you for sure.

[@bee_whisper]

Good luck make sure to keep hydrated

[@billwelsh7489]

Best of luck with the PBP! Your setup looks smart and well planned. You should rock the PBP guys! Ride on!

[@jonmathias6159]

Love your bike set-up, Amy. That Restrap frame bag could have been custom-made for your frame. I’d be interested to see how you fit the bottle cage on the downtube as there isn’t much clearance. I have the same problem as I run a small frame. Kyle - nice Ribble CGR. I almost got one myself as I used to have a steel Dawes Galaxy but ended up getting a CGR in Titanium. It’s a great bike! Both - I’m guessing you’re crossing from Newhaven to Dieppe. The run into Paris is lovely. I’ve only been as far as Gisors but there’s a fair bit of traffic-free voie verte from Dieppe and the roads in France are great. Bonne route! 🇫🇷🇬🇧

[@jtleon7086]

Great fitness couple, may God bless your trip.

[@1969Rake]

Good luck to you both!! Hopefully, you come home still as a couple! 😂.

[@AndrewBroadbent-dr8wb]

Good luck to both of you doing PBP, safe riding.

[@djduffy1000]

Good luck you two.

[@ceftx2375]

Good luck...be safe!! 👍👍

[@adamhall6954]

Best of luck you two!

[@Tntdruid]

Bikepacking whit Amy 👍

[@davewatt8840]

Good luck to you both sure you'll both do amazing. Where did you get the light holder for your saddle bag Amy? Got exposure light and needing to fit it onto my saddle bag also. Thanks 👍 🇫🇷🇫🇷

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

It’s from exposure ☺️ it’s their back light mount for bags, if you send them a message they’ll point you in the right direction I’m rubbish and can’t remember the exact name of it!

[@dalem1140]

😂That Chain. Good luck guys. 👍

[@bettyourcampervan]

Another ace video! Looks like you are having a fab time on Insta 😁😁🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️❤️

[@tagbon]

Have fun, I will watch those dots with a keen eye! 😄

[@jonpoon3896]

Respect to Kyle with the randonneuring style setup for a randonneuring event

[@bazcurtis178]

Treat yourself to a Garmin radar. The best thing I have ever bought for my riding

[@stephenpritchard6661]

Good luck guys 👍

[@matskelton9589]

Best of luck you 2 - keep smiling 🙂

[@russellfowkes4054]

Good luck to the both of you, I’m sure you’ll do well 👍

[@robertappleby9490]

👍 Good luck. Have a good time.

[@chrisjoyce5539]

Best of luck to both of you Have ever tired tube less set up? Have Great time and enjoy

[@alf1982]

I've got the same issue with my Ribble and my out front Wahoo mount and the bar bag. The stem mount supplied doesn't quite fit on the Ribble stem, so I've bought a stem cap mount. Only problem is that I now can't fit my light underneath! Not that I could use the bar bag and light together anyway! Daytime stuff only in the bar bag for me!

[@BarryJones-wt3et]

Bon voyage 😊

[@stevecompton7197]

Good luck to both of you

[@conradburdekin722]

Following you both! You’re currently 31.5 hours in and riding together 👍

[@marraaman]

Good luck👍👍❤️

[@tonycroke5113]

Good luck have fun.

[@GrahamWP58]

Have a great time on PBP stay safe

[@steppings5645]

Enjoy it the max!😁

[@upthebracket26]

I appear to be glued to a map watching 3 people ride across France..

[@alf1982]

Good luck!

[@redauwg911]

the only thing important is you have fun👫

[@PWbflo]

Kyle is 💯 right steel is real! But… that’s why I got a carbon ribble…. He’s got to have quads and calves of steel to push that much weight around

[@odair.gallo11]

Muito bom ver sua atitude, lindeza!

[@glennoc8585]

Blooming Eck they're off.

[@k.r.lionheart6460]

Good luck with that one 👍

[@buzzman4860]

👍👍👍

[@saxilbyjoe4325]

I echo "steel is real". I went to Ribble to buy my first carbon bike and ended up getting another Steely. Good luck with PBP.

[@malcolmhendra20]

Amy, can you tell me what you used to attach your rear exposure light to your saddle bag.

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

It’s from the exposure website their back light bracket ☺️

[@rodrigoantoniorojo2725]

I noticed that no one of you use aerobars. Is a great help to avoid compression in hands and give most aerodinamic position. I recomenda. Greetings

[@paulwixman8151]

Guys, please take at least two spare tires and spare chains for both bikes. With the distances both of you are covering those items may come in as essential!!. Have a safe and progressive sojourn. Pjw

[@RideWithNeil.]

Amy I’m thinking of buying a Bianchi , would you recommend them , just thought I’d ask because you have one

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Hiya, I don't have a Bianchi 😅

[@RideWithNeil.]

@@amy.cycling.adventures Oh sorry Amy , my mistake 😂

[@syazwanabdull4835]

Good luck yipeee

[@maverick6631]

Bloomin' 'eck roughly translates to Floraison diable in French - literal, "flowering devil" 😊

[@Micky1884]

Awesome Amy

[@chrisstrider]

Have a great PBP

[@bengt_axle]

Is a reflective vest required to ride in France at night?

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Yes you get given one ☺️

[@alicia_francis_]

Hi, where did you get the frame tape?

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Hiya! We got it from Restrap :)

[@333wheeler]

Careful were you sleep . Not where someone is likely to fall asleep on the bike and head off into the verge. Weather looks Ok so thats a bonus ..

[@andrewainsworth8716]

Just playing catch up on my cycling Weekly magazines and there's a name I know amy Hudson,(velo bavarian)3rd with 381 miles well done

[@pete1927]

Bon Velo!
