[@djantix1200]

You inspire me to get out on my bike as much as I can! Keep rippin'! Cheers!

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Aw mega. Yey

[@fasteddie565]

A day off for you is a day off from Old Green Beret Philosophical euphemisms. I originally wanted to say that I am proud of you, but then I thought, Who am I to say such a thing. Instead, I offer that You Girl, are an inspiration. Even for an old man who has been almost everywhere and done damn near everything.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Awww thank you. Super kind

[@enduromotorradtouren]

I always enjoy your videos! And trying to follow your example, living life! you seem like a real and nice person👍

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Aw thank you, I mega appreciate your support

[@anthonystevens8683]

A well deserved rest day Vanessa, not so much for your crew who were hard at it getting ready for the next days. A dip in the water was a good one for the muscles though, getting them moving with support and stretching can really help. The cold water allegedly helps no end giving a reset to all sorts of things in the body. Back in my day this would have been a down the pub for a gallon of Guinness followed by a spicy curry and a great nights sleep but things move one for the better. A hot curry is not always ideal for a long days bike riding the following day. You loose time for the unplanned bio breaks. Looking forward to the next instalment.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Thank you for your care and concern

[@sasunmontu]

I've just stumbled across your channel. The video in Africa, introducing your big buddy. Your presentation makes it feel like I'm watching a mate on their adventures. Love the information and stories you share.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Oh wow that is such lovely feedback, thank you so much for watching and I am so glad to know you enjoyed it

[@Toni.63]

I do love it so when you are doing these rallies, can you do one not in a desert?🥵

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Haha most of them occur in the desert

[@zweispurmopped]

How do you tell someone's from Australia? There's that lass who is stuffing, erm, stuff into a pouch at her belly and that other lass watches and starts talking about "These kids". 🥳 You lot most definitely were the perfect team! 🤗🤩

[@TheGirlOnABike]

😅😅 travelling across Africa with 2 Australians sure was an interesting experience 😜

[@zweispurmopped]

@@TheGirlOnABike …especially for the Africans. 🥳🤗

[@AliHoran-y4t]

How did you strengthen your hands pre race? X

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Funnily enough only a few weeks prior to the race i tore my palms to shreds on a calisthenics bar, so all my skin was super fresh and raw, I was very nervous about it, but it all comes down to riding position, if you are in the correct position there isnt really much weight or strain put on your hands at all. I actually didnt even get one blister the whole race!

[@OneFreeMan17]

Big and strong 💪

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Thanks

[@jonathanmagoni9132]

Am thoroughly enjoying the videos and seeing how you get through the toughest race on earth day by day - incredible achievement! Quickie question…what spray is Joe using in this video 9:55 in? Thanks and never stop doing what you’re doing!

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Yey thank you! That is ace to hear that you are enjoying the adventure, it sure was a wild ride! I believe it is brake cleaner, but i can not remeber exactly sorry!

[@AdamForeman]

Venessa, I just had a shocking horrifying thought, are you in an area where Camel Spiders live? And if so, do you have a portable flame thrower and steel capped boots? 😳😳😳

[@TheGirlOnABike]

😅 no I didnt have a flame thrower but I did have a support crew who would have no doubt run very quickly to me at the first sound of a squeal haha 😜

[@brucecurtis6281]

Pringles shrinkflation

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Yes! That is exactly what it is, and I think we need to do something about it hehe

[@mengaw-yong2490]

Or carpal tunnel syndrome depending on which fingers are affected PS I had it too many years riding !

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Ouch!
