I recommend Gel fingerless gloves for warmer weather, they really protect your palms from falls! I always wear gloves...I speak from experience😉I was waiting for you to pull the kitchen sink out of your bags😂Another beautiful ride, its a shame about Kyle's accident but luckily it wasn't a bad one😊
Haha we had a lot packed in there 😂😂 yes we were lucky it wasn’t any worse! thanks for watching! ☺️
Poor Kyle! What a trooper he is. Great mileage guys huge well done 💖
France is UNBELIEVABLY scenic, everything is so rustic and charming, some of the finest views I've ever seen!
It’s great 😍😍
From my vantage point, a world away on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, you two are absolutely living the dream. What a luxury it would be to have all of Europe's cycling at your doorstep. Thank-you so much for sharing your adventures. I know it's a cliche, but I live vicariously through you. +1 for wearing cycling gloves, especially if you need to use your hands to make a living.
Ahh thank you glad you’re enjoying the videos! We are living our dream when we do adventures like this 😍yes lesson learnt for Kyle!
Fantastic adventure. Love your character Amy. The idea travelling companion.
I love the way you do things, Amy.. so spirited, so alive, so funny, and amusing, too. It’s never a dull moment with you.. bon, au revoir!
Ahh thanks! Glad you enjoy it 🙌 all about bringing smiles ☺️
After the 600K and this I have huge admiration for Kyle's sheer grit. Something like this can really put a cloud over a trip and you both just get on with it.
He’s a star 🌟
Mid afternoon bonk ? Means something else at our house 😂
😂😂
Enjoyed whatching those roads. Great bike riding!
Love this! You guys inspire me to want to go on a bike holiday!
Ahh great to hear this! Yess if you can we defo recommend it 😍
Job well done gang ,Kyle,s first thought when slipping off ,is the bike alright , Oasis !!!! , Orangina is better, but as i mentioned in part one , How lovely and empty the roads are and the countryside is super. enjoyed , keep safe Paul.
"Bonjour chateau" you are so enthousiast when you travel by bike, its so lovely that you say hi to a castle! Have a nice trip in the south of france!
Haha I’m usually always happy when cycling 🙌☺️ thanks! ☺️
Sorry to hear of the boy wonders accident - he’s trouper and well done for getting right back on it Kyle.
GLOVES ALWAYS please. I do and it helped when I had a bad fall.
Onwards ! Thanks for sharing as always
Thanks! Yes we should wear them really 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Thanks for watching 🫶☺️
I want to share my respect for your man, I’d go crazy with so much joy and energy during my ride😂. Very enjoyable to watch tho!
😂😂 luckily I’m not hyper 24/7 he does well!
Love the adventure! Keep on making the videos!
Thanks! 🫶
Another great video and good miles today hope kyle is ok and feels lots better tomorrow least his bike was ok
Thanks so much 🫶
Fantastic ride Amy Kyle big respect to you both 💪🏻💪🏻🫶🏻🚴🚴
Thanks! ☺️
Nice one Kyle for pedalling on. Gloves do help a bit, I always use gloves from the many crashes I had in the past. Those villages in France are beautiful, so peaceful.
Yea think we need to start wearing them! They are 😍
Gloves always, always
Really feel for Kyle, I had the exact same thing last year I had just done my first ever 50 mile ride and two miles from home there was a ford that hardly had any water in so I went through, straight away the bike went sideways I came off burnt a hole in my bibs, ripped my jersey and had cuts and bruises all over me 😫 shook me up but made me more determined. Thankfully I had gloves otherwise it would have been worse. Keep up the great content.
Ahh no!! Yes thank goodness you had gloves! Hope you’re all recovered from it now!
What beautiful places you visit. Superb video 👏👏👏
Thanks 😍
Remind me so much France is a nice place for cycling. When I watch your video, I want to bring my bike in the plane and go there. Enjoy your trip!
Ahh yes it’s lovely!
Great cycling kyle is always eating haha keep the good work up and enjoy.
Thanks! Haha much needed for the Milones 😂
Great episode, you both seem pretty fresh after all those miles in a day!!
Well done 👍 🚴🏼♀️🚴🏼♂️💨
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Gloves!!! Always gloves !!
Yes!!
Can get cheap pair in decathlon as should be lots around
I’m amazed how many full pro riders don’t wear gloves - terrifying! I never ride without them
Glad Kyle was ok.. definitely worth wearing gloves guys.. I’ve come off a few times over the years and gloves saved me every time 👍👍🚴🏻🚴♀️great ride and adventure.. Pete
Yes we should do! 😬
Hope all is healing after the fall. Keep the gloves on :)
All doing well thanks! ☺️
Track mitts... Plus you get the traditional cyclists back of the hand tan. Plus you can clean your tyres on the move! 😀
Ohh good point never thought of the tyre cleaning 😂
Bloomin' eck! TWO days in a row first up on the comments podium !! What am I like ...???!!!!
Shame for Kyle 😢 but glad he completed the day. Always difficult to get back on the bike after a fall. I fell off in Tuscany recently and still got a sore hip 😂
A girl with a mission. I like it ❤
Nice one guys. Glad Kyle is ok
Thank you ☺️🫶
Get that knee sorted Kyle, it's not just a bike fit you need, it's a physio as it's been playing up a while!
Hope alls ok Kyle, not good when anyone comes off the "horse", hideous crash today in the final stretch of the TDF.
May the cycling gods watch over you both.
Nice beaver ☀️ 🇫🇷
🐦 🐦
Hope Kyle is healing well well done for soldiering on
He was all good! 🫶🙌
A sign of a good relationship is that you can ride in total silence when you need to and it's not a problem 👍♥️
Yes 100% 🫶🙌
France has some awesome mountains to be ridden
Yes next time we visit we will see them 🤞🤞
Poor Kyle is OK amazing view in France 🇫🇷
Heyy guys...another awesome vid. Like most, i highly recommend gloves & a small first aid pack. Both have saved me many times.
You should consider some small cage type "pannier" bags that clip to your front forks. Can hold extra water, or take some weight off the back to even out the load...especially for your 1000 + milonies trip. Hope Kyle is doing okay.
Love and best wishes from Sydney, Australia.
🫶🚴🚴🫶
Thanks! Yes we defo need a first aid kit!
He’s doing all good now thankfully nothing serious 🙌 thank you ☺️
In France and ever need water just find nearest cemetery there is always a tap (usually just inside the main entrance) - top cycle touring tip👍
Good tip! ☺️
Could have been so much worse, stuck in the middle of nowhere with a broken bike. So the bike has been well christened now but all part of cycling. Great miles and lovely scenery.
Yes we were so lucky it wasn’t worse!
Lovely sunny rides. Kyle please please get yourself on the list for an MRI scan for that knee. I ignored knee pain for ages and ended up weeks off the bike and two knee operations.
And both of you wear gloves!!!
Thank you!! Ohhh yes so important to look after it
"Go for it", indeed!
Poor Kyle, hope he was ok in the morning! Good ride, enjoyed it. I don’t know how you manage so many hours in the saddle day after day, my backside would be like raw steak if I tried it. Good luck and carry on!
He was thankfully! Just a sore hand!
Ride safe guys, enjoy and God bless u both..
Carl couldn't be any more Northern; "that cheese is a bit 'holey' for me" 🤣🤣🤣
Kyle's toughened by the bricks skin coming in clutch but I would recommend getting a little packable first aid kit, doesn't have to be massive, just a couple bits and bobs. Would be worth taking on the longer rides, Amazon has some cycling specific ones that are a bit more focused rather than having absolutely everything.
Yes we defo need to get one!
Wearing gloves has saved the palms of my hands more than once.
Hi Amy. If you run out of water and can't find a shop, look out for cemeteries. They always have a tap!
Thanks for the tip! ☺️
When you get gloves, consider the lighter _unpadded_ ones. Some (like me) find the bulky gel / foam types cause more irritation than they're worth. They still protect from scrapes just fine.
Ahh yes I find this, what’s why I usually wear my Nike ones but then I get too hot 😂😂
Don't they have cars in France? I was out riding today in Blighty, bloody cars everywhere . . .
So quiet in France!
I hope Kyle and his new bike are ok, maybe a first aid kit in your bag if you don't have one xx
Ouch, Kyle. Mate!
Haf to say Kyle's a good plodder, grinding away on his pedals..... you two certainly put in the malonies.
'Ull' east yorkshire.
Gloves do help in a crash, but I rarely find gloves that fit my hands properly. I do occasionally find a pair that fit, and I use them for a while. But at some point they’re discontinued, and I have to go without until I find the next pair that fit.
Hang in there Kyle
omg kyle was unlucky but he is a fighter, congratulations to you both
He is!! Thank you 🙌☺️
Hes a trooper that one
He is 🌟
Brazil muito bom ❤
I never go through fords anymore, not since a friend of mine came off and broke his hip… Hope you don’t have any lasting damage, Kyle. Stay safe and enjoy TdF.
Ahh Kyle was lucky how he came out!!
So impressed by both of you, but today was really Kyle's day to persevere. Just be glad you didn't have MUFC's physio dept from last season--you might've been Malacia 2.0!
ride always safe....godbless always🙏👊👍
Fantastic video as usual you two. Are the panniers able to come forward a bit so as they are more over the rear axle to make the bikes more balanced? They look far to rearward compared to a normal touring setup.
Thank you!! No they attach on at that point on the rack, but you can put them on the front forks with a different attachment ☺️
Very nice
Kyle's cycling nickname is Tadej Focaccia 😂
The villages are so quiet
Gloves/mitts are essential.
I sympathise with Kyle. Fell off in a ford near Stratford on the way back from the tdf finish in 2014. I was OK, if a bit wet, but my phone was ruined. Always take the board walks now.
Ahh no!! Yes trying to get him to wear gloves now!
Ride Safe Pretty Amy.
I would start my first bike packing very soon.
Enjoy!!
Hope you're alright Kyle, you probably know by now if the wrist is fractured or not, hope you didn't end up riding on too far if it was. Will need a splint and laying off it for 6 - 10 weeks if it is... Speaking from experience.
Don’t worry no fractures just cuts luckily! 🙌
are you going to the Pirenei to see tour the france?
Love them cycle glasses what are they?
They’re SunGod - I got sent them by the brand for total honesty! But I LOVE them ☺️
Hey, did you do all the route planning on strava? or did you use other things.
Hiya, I did all the route planning on the garmin connect app and used google maps alongside it ☺️
I think everyone would be willing to watch you and Kyle ride all the milones (miles) every day (barring injury).
Lyra, chai, big thighs 😂😂😂😂
Haha 😂😂 thanks for watching!
Hi. What’s the brand/model of the rear pannier rack please, and are they carbon bike frame specific?
Hiya! They’re Tailfin and yes they are they have a thru axel that goes to your bike and the rack is carbon too ☺️
I think life is being a little bit unfair towards Kyle these days. First the knee business and now a minor crash but a buggered hand nevertheless. It is not all sunshine and blue skies....but some of it certainly is 😆
Yes he hasn’t had the best luck recently! Still enjoying the rides though 🙌
I have knackered knees and feel for Kyle………..spinning lower gears in stead of grinding big gears is more comfortable always 👍…perhaps drop a gear or 2 🤷♂️🍻
Haha yes I do tell him but he said it’s better in the bigger gears for him 😅
Don’t understand why the measurements from wasn’t it a Cannondale ( used for his bike fit ) used to set up his Pinerello.I know he won’t listen but with his knee problem he is not helping it by riding a gear or two TOO BIG out of the saddle up hills.
I ride with gloves everywhere ( but hate them ) But if I fall & scrap my hands I can’t work
Yipee
For water in France, go to a graveyard. There is always a tap there, for watering the flowers. What do I know? - after 50 years of living and cycling in France.
Thanks! ☺️
@@amy.cycling.adventures Another wheeze for you: when wild camping, the garden of an empty house usually has a nice flat lawn.
It looks like Kyle is overstretched on the new bike
Nike fit for him tomorrow 🙌
I don't know exactly what the circumstances are in France, but in Germany, i head for a cemetery to get free water when i'm thirsty. Maybe try this next time.
That's a good idea! Yes will do that next time, don't know why we didn't think of that 😅
Gloves. First aid kit, not just plasters … you got to be fairly self sufficient when cycling from Italy.
And def a water purifier. Cycling back with the poops will be hell… Kyle’s hands gotta sting
For some reason whenever I crash on my hands I'm never wearing gloves, but I usually wear gloves 80% of the time too. smh
Why would you ever ride through fords? I would ALWAYS get off the bike and walk through it, especially in the summer months as weed/moss collects on the surface of the road. I hope Kyle is okay and i love your channel, just subscribed .
As he went though it I shouted not to but as I shouted he was off 🤦♀️🤦♀️😂 thanks so much for the subscribe ☺️
Do you both chose not to have any gels, energy bars, energy powder etc and just have real food? :) thanks
I do I’ve never tried gels etc as I prefer to use real food & it works for me, Kyle sometimes uses gels and carb drinks but mainly real food ~ I might give carb drinks a go for help getting in the needed calories! But haven’t tried them yet!
Water
Kyle definitely looks uncomfortable on the bike. Needs a bike fit asap.
Hope Kyle hand and knee ok? Amy you keep mentioning gluten free have you been diagnosed? Have a good trip
THE CHEESE IS TOO HOLY!?!?!??!??!
😂😂
Ни в одном из её видео, она не крутит в гору и не дышит тяжело. Она не меняет цепь и не качает колеса. Она не делает ничего, что делают велосипедисты. Это обман?
I have a feeling that French swans are free of the tyranny of monarchs, especially English ones 😅 ( unless its a British spy swan of course )
Please do not take it personally but this accent is killing me :D
😂😂
riding that distance and not even a basic first aid kit? that should be common sense prep, and two adults?
Such a junk you are eating!
Why?
You are so lovely.
Because we’re on holiday 😍✌️
@@amy.cycling.adventures all I see it pristine cycling food! EXACTLY what you need on long days in the saddle, easy to digest, great fuel sources 😍
