Haha sometimes I’m smiling outside but dying inside 😂😂😂 thanks for watching!
I agree. Amy and Kyle make it look easy!
There is nothing as beautiful as the English countryside. I live in the US now and your video’s bring back so many memories. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching! We are very lucky with the views 😍
You all are the best of cycling. Love your positivity no matter the weather or the climb.
Bloomin mint as usual 👍
Thanks! 🙌🫶☺️
Great effort 👏.Our road club did Winnats Pass a couple of months ago. Instead of Froggatt, we did Owler Bar first. The cattle grid at the bottom of the Pass is a real rhythm killer. Thank goodness I had a 34 cassette. When the wedge, on my Garmin display, changed from purple to orange, it was a real relief !
That is a really solid 100. Nice riding, and not looking fatigued at the end!
Awesome vid! Thanks to you and Kyle, I did my first 160km Audax today!
What Audax did you do? & welcome to the madhouse 🙂
Ahhh wow!! Massive well done 🙌🙌 Hope you enjoyed it!
Lovely vid brought back memories of riding in the peaks when I lived in Sheffield. Great to see Kyle’s personality coming through in his footage.
Ahh lovely! It’s such a nice place to ride 😍 yes slowly I’m tempting him to be on the camera more!
@@amy.cycling.adventuresJust don’t film him from behind 😂
I bloomin love these videos, well done the both of you!
Yay, thank you!
Winnats is one of those climbs that just does me every time. Used to ride it quite a lot as I lived in Sheffield, never once found it easy. I think it must be just the wrong gradient that I can't quite get the rhythm somehow. Well done.
It’s a tough one!!
Just to reiterate pretty much every comment on every video, your success is down to the consistently great content you both put out and the journey you take us on. Chapeau! long may it continue
Thank you so much ☺️☺️
Kyle’s getting better at filming, I love watching your videos, I could watch these all day long, also please get a lock or something for your bikes if you haven’t got one already, gives me anxiety seeing you leave them outside, I panic if mines not in view 🤣
He is! Thanks so much! Dont worry we always lock them & we sit where we can see them ☺️
4:58
@@amy.cycling.adventures that’s made me feel better knowing you lock them up, I see loads at local cafes I go to and people just leaving them, happy cycling & enjoy the bike, lovely colour 😊
Love the pinarello gear 👌
New subsciber here, I love your positivity👍That was a cracking ride, my type of terrain as I live in Scotland😉I did 110 miles with 6882ft of elevation gain yesterday but I have an e bike so its a little easier to climb those big hills😂I will be 66 next month and still love my cycling, always will😊Very nice bike you have👌
Thanks for subscribing 🫶 Scotland is beautiful! But yes very hilly, glad to hear you’re loving your cycling! Keep enjoying it 🙌🙌
@@amy.cycling.adventures I have been enjoying it for over 50 years and will continue to do so😁
@@rabh6746 yay that’s lovely to hear!
Great to hear these oldies still doing loads of cycling - I'm very impressed and pleased to see it. I'm an oldie, too
You are an impressive couple and I really love all your videos. I’m glad you are getting such great recognition for your channel 🎉
Ahh thanks so much for the love 🙌🫶 thanks for watching!
ride always safe.....godbless always🙏👊👍
You’ve inspired me to ride more. Yippeeee!
Thank you SO much! Enjoy your rides 🫶
Love watching your videos it's made me want to get my bike out again , happy new year to you both
Yay 🙌 that’s what it’s all about ☺️ Happy New Year!
Knocking out a century like a walk in the park..well done and on the shirts too. The expression @15:50 😅🤣
Exactly, and it was an *actual* century = 100 millones; none of this _kilometer_ foolishness. Granted the latter is still a serious ride, but a _metric century_ is *_not_* a real century.
Thanks!!
Well done you two, another great ride. It looks so beautiful up in the peak district wow what a great place for cycling.
Turning left at the top Froggat lets you drop straight down to Hathersage. You went right which detoured across Sheephill and up over Stanage Edge... great seeing my local rides featured... well done!
Gods own country - great video as always
Amy, good, strong ride....Remember, the Pinni and Canny need some tender loving care in the form of a good cleaning after such rides...Do invest in a good degreaser for the drive train and warm soapy water for the cleaning. Better to get into the habit at this point. You're a serious recreational cyclist at this point so this is a great way to keep the ride quality as good as your attitude! .......Please, don't make me send the bike mech police after you guys!!!!
Cheers, Pjw
Yes don’t worry both bikes had a good clean after this ride ☺️🙌
Really, great. You guys are the best. Definitely don’t ’spill anything down’ the T Shirt! Are you doing a ‘blummin eck’ mug? That would be good. Have a good one. You really suit that new bike Amy.
Thanks so much! Haha I’ll try not to! Ohhh there’s an idea! Thanks ☺️
Lovely to see you back in your natural environment some great views even in the fog
Tough climb. Epic work! New bike looking great in the snowy country.
Thanks! Yes feeling good too 🙌☺️
well Done! what a challenge! amazing scenery! loving the T shirts 👍
Thank you ☺️
Driven up it many a time out of Castleton, but never rode up it! Id love to one day. Good job.
It’s defo one to try!
Fab well done! I had to bail when I could feel my heartbeat in my ears and taste blood in my tortured breath!
Oh no!! It is a tough one!!
Love it, well done Amy. Kyle needs his own channel ❤️❤️👍👍👍
Love this, home turf for me too although I've never braved Winnats! Shout out to Coleman's in Hathersage, absolute staple.
Love the cafe soo much!! Winnats is horrid haha!
Keep doing your thing 🙏🏿👍
Lolol, back in the day when my other half came out for a pedal with me, he too let rip, proudly standing out of the saddle, waving his bottom in the air 💥💨 - not that I ever encouraged him by laughing, of course😉😁.
He also scoffed up the stodgy option at the cafe (just like Kyle😂), regretting it first hill we came too🤢😂
You two are ledgends! Loving the banter and what not 💯🫶🙃
😂😂 they sound similar!
Thanks haha glad you like the videos! ☺️🙌
Smiles all the way, up hill and down,keep up the good work both of you.
You guys rock! Love watching your videos, congrats on your new sponsorship! Stay safe and healthy, ride on my friends. Can’t wait to get off the indoor bike and get out and ride here in Minnesota. It’s been doom and gloom here.
Thanks so much!! Very rainy here, we can’t wait for some dry weather and warmer summer rides too!
Awesome video and riding. Love your positivity.
Thank you! Thanks for watching ☺️
Big up Amy and her biggest fan Nathan T riding alone in wythenshawe
Good film , Chester at the end!!!
I loved this ride, really want to come over to the Peaks sometime and do a ride. I live in Shropshire so I am used to hills!
Yes it be nice weather for a couple of days ,l went for a short ride Friday and Saturday it was hard gowin 😢.🚵♂️🚴♀️😎.
Your _cattle grid_ sound effect is the secret sauce for this channel. But _Chester_ is the secret weapon.
Haha, yes, the cattle grid noise is very cute 🙃👍
love the bike! Looks great.
Just taken lodgings in M12. Velodroming then Peak Districting. Right behind you!
Love your videos!!
Keep up the great work!! From New York!!
YIPPEE!!!🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!!!
Was there last week. Castleton Coffee Co. is a wonderful but tiny cafe. The whole Hope valley has been my favorite place in earth since I was a kid.
It’s very beautiful around there 😍
Well done Champ…👍 Wish I could get myself back out cycling
Looks great
love your videos 100 milanos almost! for you both 👏 did my first 100 miler yesterday on the Mere Audax with our club well done both 👍
Thank you! Ahh yay that’s awesome to hear 🙌 well done hope you enjoyed it :D we also did an Audax yesterday ~ they’re the best!
Stunning countryside 😊👍 Nice one!
Love the t-shirts!!
Thank you!
Well done. Weather looked grim. Love the blue cycling kit you were wearing.
Winnats is deceptively tougher climb than it's gradient implies, there's steeper out there but it's a fairly constant gradient between the cattle grids and it also acts as a bit of a wind tunnel the last time I was there I was recovering from a knee injury and already struggling then a strong gust of wind hit me and I ground to a halt and with no way of restarting I had to hike the rest of the way up leaving my mate wondering where I was
It’s defo a tough one!! Ahh no that sounds horrible, I was close to walking tbh! It seemed to go on forever 😂
So great that after all your exotic adventures you are still so enthusiastic about cold, damp, grey England.
Do you lock your bikes when you go in a cafe and if so what do you use?
Haha still a Peak District girl at heart 🚴♀️😍 yes we do and always sit where we can see them too, we have a combination lock I’m not actually 100% sure of the brand! Had it a while now!
Well done 🎉just liked up Winnets Pass and it’s 28% in parts 😮🎉
loved kyles reaction to you saying getting fitter for climbs, no! :)
You always seem to find the best cafes, little wonder Kyle has to let go!!! Pulled my hip flexor yesterday, his pump proper cheered me up!!!
that was an epic climb Amy and epic oatmeal too! Wow that was oats and a slice of apple pie in one incredible. The t-shirts are great, and they all made me smile. My favorite might be ding dang done. You need a TTFN one next time. I hope they sell out, and you get lots of money for charity. A little frosty riding time, so well done for the effort. TTFN to ya Amy
Thanks so much!! 🫶🫶
Kyle: “we’re coming down, to the caf-a-ae to get some grub” lol
that hill looked so steep, but the scenery is beautiful.
Miss Amy, Thank you for a lovely post. Ride looked like fun but cold. I had thought that you had bought Lobster Claw gloves for the winter? Kyle sure could use a pair but the way his hands were super red at the bathroom /food break. The Cinnamon/Apple oatmeal looked fantastic. With a Chester appearance at the end, you are the best.
Yes think I should have brought them out! Surprisingly though it wasn’t as cold as it looked ~ the hills help with that! Thanks for watching, yes the porridge was amazing ☺️
I went up Winnats Pass yesterday, for the first time! In a car, admittedly, and with my bike in the back, but I didn't realise where I was until approaching it thinking "This is damned impressive AND damned steep. It looks very familiar from various videos I've seen of hill climb competitions..." Got back to base and checked a map "Well, well: so that was Winnats"
It was glorious weather, very sunny...
Ahh yes it is a steep one!
Nice.
Kyle did you fart lol 😂 amy so natural ❤ you absolutely being overwhelmed by your new Pina sponsor keep them vids coming who wonders what's round the next corner - can't wait to get my DOG F out once this weather picks up a little for now I'll just keep banging the 5k runs in 👍🚴🚴👍
Haha gotta keep it real 🤣 ohhh wow yes bet you can’t wait to get out! And enjoy the running ☺️
Amy, have you ever considered doing technical skills sessions? If you're more comfortable in controlling your bike it will help improve your confidence when descending (how to properly nail the apex of a corner, shifting your bodyweight around etc).
Inspiration
Kyle is speaking very well! We want more of him please 😂❤🎉
I’m slowly encouraging him 🫶🙌🙌
@@amy.cycling.adventures Amazing vlog ...keep it up you both. We're rooting for you all the way from South East Asia. Your international followers!🥳🥳😊
Nice ride! I’m so jealous of all your cafe foods options. I live in the southeast USA and we don’t have enough places like that. But that’s ok, I’ll just live vicariously through your videos. Keep up the good work!
P.S. Kyle’s BLT looked absolutely fabulous!
No one can ever say that Kyle doesn't know how to order lunch 🥪
@@malcontent_1 you said something there! Sandwiches are the best of foods!
@@rug212 perhaps not best, but they are god-damned convenient
Ahh sorry to hear you don’t have the good cafes where you are ~ guess you’ll have to keep living through ours 😂😂 the porridge was AMAZING!
@@amy.cycling.adventures it did looks delicious! What I want to try and will have to make it myself is the beans on toast. It looks delicious and as simple as it is I don’t know why it’s not popular over here in America. But it seems like it’s everywhere over there.
Yeesh, well done to both of you. Maybe save the cafe for _after_ the big climb -- cafe legs will bite ya.
7:33 sandwiches and meat rolls are not particularly carb heavy, they would have fuelled the end of your ride but you needed six sugars in your coffee to immediately replenish glycogen.
good info, thanks ✌️ 🥹
❤❤
Well done both! Great energy and energy. Back to the easier Richmond Park for me in the morning. 😊
Btw, what gearing are you running?
Hope you had a great ride ~ it’s 52-34 chain set & 11-34 cassette ☺️
@@amy.cycling.adventures thanks. Great combo. I’m running a compact and 11-32, and just done the Babble Challenge on ROUVY. A 11-34 might have helped. But then I am late 60s 😅
What time? And does Kyle feel that this Canny is more efficient than the steel or about the same? Kit looks great on the Pinny!
Hi Amy, love the stuff you put out for us to watch. One question, it surprise's me you leave or it appears you leave your bike unlocked while you are in the cafe or is it in view. i have a complex that i cant leave my bike out of view. keep the shows going,great stuff!
We lock them together and always keep them in view ☺️
Things are improving on the porridge front with the lack of peanut butter but disappointed in Kyle - it should only ever be brown sauce with bacon butties. 👍😂 Great effort though. 👍
😂😂 it was a banging bowl of porridge!! Thanks haha
Love the videos.
Your descents are scary, I’d be petrified of hitting a rogue patch of ice.
Do you not find drivers get angry when you cycling as a pair and filming?
Cracking video Amy as always . When are the t-shirts on sale pls ?
They’re on sale now until the 16th March ~ everpress.com/profile/amy-cycling-adventures
Amy makes these climbs look easy. How many others can hold conversation pedaling up 18%?
Great ride. Question - what is the top tube bag you are using on the Pinarello?
It’s restrap race toptube bag ☺️
Hi love your tee shirts .do you ship to Australia
Thanks so much! Yes it’s all through Everpress they do worldwide 🫶🙌 everpress.com/profile/amy-cycling-adventures
Great vid, and nearly 100 miles in chilly February!! impressive. Is your dog a deer hound? (we have x2 Whippets that always go bonkers if they see another site hound)
PS. I really must try some apple pieces in my porridge!
Thanks!! He’s a lurcher, everyone thinks he has deer hound in him, he probably does - he’s a rescue so we don’t know what he’s made up of! Aww love whippets!
Ohhh yes it’s the best!!!
@@amy.cycling.adventures awww what a lovely rescue.
I've since tried fresh apple in porridge, with honey. Game changer! Lol
@@GenuinePluko love to hear that! Glad you like it!
Chester has been well rescued 😊and landed on all four paws being looked after by you both. Loved the added point about having a dog walker while out on your epic rides. BZ Bravo Zulu.
@@barrytarr2960 aww yes he’s treated like a king 👑 and I don’t feel as guilty with being at home with him all week as I work from home 🫶
Wynatts is a tough climb, I’m up there in about three weeks (can’t wait). Where was that cafe please? I thought I knew every pub and cafe up there but didn’t recognise that. Great video as usual, looks like the bike’s performing well.
That cafe is at the bottom of the car park, adjoining Alpkit on the main road in Hathersage.
It was a tough one! And it’s Coleman’s Deli in Hathersage, it’s sooo good! Enjoy your visit!!
Thanks Amy, I know where you mean now.
@@EddInLancs01many thanks Edd.
Amy are you doing ride London this may?
Hiya! I’m not doing it sorry!
Kyle has a good eye for road danger, good man. When you hear him verbalizing, you might look up to see the car coming or sheep in the road.
Well this is interesting, I'm zwifting in Yorkshire and Amy & Kyle are cycling Yorkshire.
So the question is who's stalking who? 👀
That porridge looked awesome. Kyle should have had some rather than fatty bacon! Carbs for the win!
What jacket is Amy wearing? I can't find it on the site
what temperature was it that day? looks chilly
It was about 3-4 degrees!
Hi Amy what's the top bar bag that you are using?
It’s a restrap one ☺️
Чтоб в такую погоду катать надо иметь определенное мужество😲🤔
Can you still get the tee shirts?
They’re coming on sale again soon 🙌 I’ll post a link next week ☺️
Quick Question: As an American, I'm unfamiliar with the expression that Amy says all the time...."Blooming Eck".. what does this mean?
Kyle: It's quite nice here 😠
Eh up kyle & Amy ☝️
Maybe lights?
Yeah I always have at least my rear blinky light on for _every_ single ride. But in poor weather I feel much better with both lights on.
My back one died 🤦♀️🤦♀️ but I have my exposure one back on now so all is good again!
@@amy.cycling.adventures for as much time you and Kyle ride, it makes good sense that you are illuminated. Those cars
"Sorry box hill you've been topped by Winnat's and it's 'so quiet as well'."... queue Amy at the top of her voice... "HELLO SHEEPY, GOOD AFTERNOON LADIES!!"
look like a younger Linda Hunt sitting behind Kyle in the cafe
Sweet candy..."banana" that's all u need to keep going !!!
Zone 7 Ha Ha 🙂
Yipee

Descending is best done from the drops Amy. Less chance of losing your grip on a bump and better braking in an emergency.
