    See, now that's _actual_ gravel. That ride a couple weeks ago was a full mtb track.

    I think these are some of your best videos. Kind of like, here is Amy becoming a cycling personality and here are some of the sweet things she and Kyle get to do in the process.
    Great insight, locations and energy. Thanks!

    Thanks for taking us along for the ride Amy. You know I used to be sucked into the more negative side of life and youtube/social media. But now when I see there's an Amy video I say to myself: Let's start with a bit of happiness. I guess you're healing some of us. And please keep seeing UA-cam as a hobby. You don't want to get burnt out on it and feeling pressured to upload.

    Miss Amy,
    Morning. You drive a hard deal., invited to Italy and you had to bring the pack mule. Great job. Nice bikes. You will spoil Kyle with a graphite bike with electric shifts. Italy is a fantastic place to ride. I lived there for two years. Fantastic video and that you for the post. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There is some great proper gravel in the UK Amy. Dont let that last trip put you off, it wasnt gravel, it was mountain biking. Look up some of the gravel riding routes and clubs. You wont be disappointed

    Kyle knocking the big 52 ring around which negated the fancy light Carbon tubing a little. :) Looks quite good scenery wise and the roads appear to be nicely graded as well .

    I am insanely jealous of your latest adventure! I was in Tuscany last October but didn’t get the opportunity to cycle. There is so much amazing cycling there. I look forward to seeing your Eroica video. I know it is an awesome event! Hopefully you are decked out in the best vintage gear.
    Today I was on my 1988 Bianchi Brava in the hills, orchards and vineyards outside Kelowna, BC, Canada, and it was far from -15.
    Have fun!

    You are in Italy and eating MacDonalds Tuscany just beautiful. Florence is stunning and Siena glorious if you get there. The colour is Celeste. Pronounced Che-less-tay. Signature Bianchi colour. The gravel is sterrata in Italian. Highlight of strada Bianchi

    Did a 16 mile ride today in Ayr, Scotland and on my return to base met a very strong headwind that slowed me to 6.5 mph at one point. How crazy is that?

    Hey Amy, I would like to know if Kyle prefers steel to carbon and why. Could you ask him for me?

    • @KyleHudson-nz8go
      @KyleHudson-nz8go Рік тому +1

      Hi! I don’t actually have a preference! For my long distance rides I like my steel bike for carrying bags and comfort and how more rigid the frame feels but I also love carbon if I want to go a bit faster, although I have ridden my steel bike pretty much all year in preparation for PBP

    • @maverick6631
      @maverick6631 Рік тому

      Steel is real! Kyle is a great ambassador for steel frame cycling.

    How Kyle is feeling on carbon bike? There are much difference between Steel and carbon?

    • @KyleHudson-nz8go
      @KyleHudson-nz8go Рік тому +1

      I find my steel bike feels more rigid and robust and less twitchy which makes it good for the longer distance but I also love carbon for less weight and more speed

      I get 28 days annual leave a year ☺️ this trip used 4 days and all my other holidays this year have been over weekends ☺️ Tour de France only used 1 day, the Giro in May used 2 days, PBP used up the most, 7 days! I’ve actually still got 6 days left to take before April 😂

    Chianti is pronounced Kee-anti. The ch in Italian is a K sound like Kite or Kyle.

    they are not sheepies - they are sheepy-weepies. Anyone knows that.

  • @word20
    @word20 Рік тому +1

    Chianti is pronounced like this:
    Ch is pronounced as a hard K, so it is pronounced Kianti and you bind together i and a in one flow with the vowels.
    Here is a link to a video where you can hear for yourself ua-cam.com/video/8I8DuXKTPoc/v-deo.html
