You are very lucky as a husband and wife that you are both into cycling and at a similar fitness level. What a great pair of human beings. ❤

Feel so grateful 🤍 thanks for watching!

Respect! Well done Amy & Kyle. 👍

[@stuartvh4562]

Thanks for taking the time and making the effort to record so much of your ride. The support along the way looks fantastic and very welcome, I'm sure! Looking forward to part two, despite knowing the discomfort you experienced. Congratulations to you both, and all who participated and volunteered.

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Thank you! Yes it was amazing, part 2 out later today, thanks for the support ☺️

[@somewhereuk1957]

Words you never here on a UK bike ride ..'this road surface is so smooth its beautiful'... the pair of you are an inspiration and may I say REAL LOVE RIGHT THERE...❤❤

Haha aww thank you!!

[@LarryGraham7]

What an incredible Video! Amy your positivity is infectious, well done you and Kyle.

[@thery900]

Isn’t it just. It’s literally impossible to watch any of her videos and not smile

[@duncanrhodes4778]

This is magnificent, the most uplifting video I have stumbled across this year. Amy’s enthusiasm is quite incredible. I am one new subscriber.

[@penny6658]

Wow - the locals really do come out and cheer you on! How lovely to bring out water and snacks. I doubt that'd happen in the UK 😕 Really loving this journey - followed you on Insta as it happened but love the commentary and seeing the views, the checkpoints etc. What a buzz - and with so many people getting more and more tired you get a sense of the camaraderie. Brilliant!! Well done you two - what a team!

[@andrewnorris5415]

The locals in Yorkshire would do it. More of a countryside thing. Any place where people regularly say hello to each other I would say.

[@TheDreamHustle]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching the two parts on the PBP ride. Thanks to you both for putting in an incredible amount of effort to bring out such an awesome experience for the viewers like me. I am sure this inspires a whole lot of upcoming riders to dream big and try their hands at fabulous rides like the PBP. CHEERS ✨✨

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Glad you enjoyed the videos - thanks so much for watching 🥰

[@TheDreamHustle]

@@amy.cycling.adventures As a matter of fact, we all should thank you both!! Btw, I wondered how you managed to capture the footage, maybe by some sort of handle bar mount or something, but then I realised that you were holding it with one hand and holding the bike with the other hand. I think that's incredibly challenging unless one has the ambition to encapsulate the whole ride in the best possible manner!

[@Omnis2]

3:43 Safa Brian? Did you forget the sunscreen? You're tomato red hahaha. 600km in a day is SICK. That's amazing. Furthest I rode solo is 100km and that took me 7 hours cuz I bonked at around 80km in the 108F heat and had to stop to de-cramp and find ice/beach showers to cool down. 27C ain't bad at all! edit: Shoulda kept watching the video! That's so cute that people give out stuff. So nice. What a trip.

[@1ytt742]

PBP about a month after a 24hr and having period pains. I'm not surprised you weren't at your best. But you were easily good enough and looked like you had a more comfortable ride than most. Well done to Kyle as well. Going from beginner to riding PBP in the time he did is very good and I doubt many could do that. Changing saddles close to PBP could have been very bad but might possibly have made things better. I agree about the cost of food at controls. But at least it helped me lose some fat, so I am not complaining that much...

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Yes haha I have been busy! Thank you, Kyle did awesome ☺️ haha true it wasn’t that bad really ☺️ such an amazing event!

[@tinac3094]

So great to see what it was like for you both, after following the live feed. Brilliant teamwork, looking after each other all the way! ❤ Amazing milones!! You both did so well, and with your period, Amy!! Xxx

I have to say how inspired I am after watching your videos. You, Kyle and your fellow Derby cyclist are such lovely people. I do like long rides and exploring new places on bike. I have never considered doing an Audax, after watching these videos I now want to have a go at PBP.

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

[@steveyost5530]

You both did great! Thanks for sharing your info for the ride. I enjoyed following your progress on the map on their website.

[@MrWarrensimmons]

Great video. I like your infectious enthusiasm! The yippees are superb and I admire your husband for being able to accept all the noise you make on a ride for at least 600km (I await part 2) - what an unsung hero. I dnf'd in 2007 and I completed PBP in 2011. Positive mental attitude is 99% of the deal in events like PBp All things being equal - fitness, bike fit, and weather, it all comes down to mental attitude. Weather one can never control but I see from other vids that you are ok with fitness and bike fit. Really nice to watch - for various reasons I had no plans to do PBP again but maybe I will have to look at this again. 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Ahh well done on PBP!! Yes mental attitude is a massive part of it, got to keep the positive self talk going ~ haha yes Kyle does well to cope with my hyper-ness although part 2 might be a little less enthusiastic 😅 well you’ve got 4 years until 2027, so maybe see you there!

[@MrWarrensimmons]

@@amy.cycling.adventures part 2 was good. Suffering can be part of it. On my 2011 PBP I went down with Shermers neck just after I left La Perche control in the last 160km. I was so pissed off riding with one hand holding my head up - but I made it. I will be 64 in 2027 - still doable.

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

@@MrWarrensimmons wow that sounds so hard well done for completing it! Hopefully see you in 27!

[@333wheeler]

Good going , Nice and steady is the winning game ! Some long walks into those controls from the bike parking rails. All part of the experience. Looks deceptive thinking it might be flat but obviously not just regular long drags by the way you seem to be hitting them time after time.

Hi Amy I'm a doctor and just a bit of advice. Next time you're on a very long ride and your period is due, get some mefenamic acid tablets from your GP which help with stomach cramps aka period pains or ask him/her to postpone your period with norethisterone. Well done you and Kyle on finishing PBP. I am hoping to do it in 2027.

Most important part of the bike is the saddle. You may run full dura ace. If your not comfortable the ride is hell.

[@markrushton1516]

Why does Kyle have to be 25m ahead? He is doing the same speed so sharing turns seems logical. Regular dowsing with water might have helped. Soaking your shirt and using the evaporation to cool you. Best done at controls. No ibuprofen or mooncup?

[@amy.cycling.adventures]

Thanks for producing and sharing this video which brought back so many positive memories and impressions from my own PBP experience. I was in the same starting Block Y than you and finished only 2 hours after you. So, essentially I had the same phantastic views along the route, shared the same hospitality by the French people in the country side and so on. One of my own next big goals will be London-Edinburgh-London in 2 years. So by chance might see you and Kyle there. Please stay safe. Best regards from Germany, Jürgen
