PARIS BREST PARIS 1200KM BIKE RIDE - PART 2

- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- This ride was incredible, massive thank you to the volunteers and everyone that came out to cheer us on. I can't believe we did it! It's over a week post ride and it still doesn't quite feel real, despite the pain I loved it and we've already decided we will be back for 2027.
Our finish time was 72hrs and 3 minutes - but it's not about time, it's about the experience - helmets off to the people that didn't make it to the end within the time but still carried on riding, true heros!
We did manage to cycle back to the ferry, so that will be the next video - I'll be editing over the weekend while my heel heals (it was my heel not my calf!), I've not been able to ride this week but I'm itching to get back on the bike, with rest the heel is on the mend, so I'll be back riding soon!
Thank you SO much for watching!

Phenomenal effort by both of you. One could tell Kyle was exhausted, but it still seemed he gave Amy strength to pull through. What a lovely couple.
Thank you, yes he really helped me get to the end 🙌
What an awesome experience. I need to up my riding game. At one of your stops I like how they wrapped the crepe in toilet paper or at least it looked like toilet paper 😆
Amazing perseverance! Congrats to everyone involved. Thanks for filming this Amy, hope you had a great rest
Thank you so much!
On rides like this you learn much about yourself, your body, your bike fit but the best of all is the camaraderie of fellow cyclists and the support from all the volunteers along the route. Congratulations on finishing the worlds most famous cycling event.
Thank you! And yes so true!
11:20, one of the great memories I have of PBP...
I’ve just watched part 1 and 2…. Seriously so impressed with your efforts.. even riding 10 miles with any kind of pain is a nightmare so chapeau to you Amy that’s incredible… so glad you carried on to complete your mission! Wow, what an experience… I hope everything is healed and recovering well .. ❤
Thank you 🤍
What Kyle said "making memories of a lifetime with my favourite person". ❤
Wow Amy, you must be the hardest person on UA-cam, a couple of hours on a bad saddle would bring most people to their knees, can't believe you managed to keep going to the end, it must have been excruciating. I thought you were hardcore for surviving the rain on the 24hrs but this was beyond next level. Great, honest, videos, well done to you and Kyle for completing PBP, now get some much needed rest and a new saddle 😃
Bloody hell, I've been through all the emotions and I'm only watching the video. Fantastic achievement for you both I'm sure after a few weeks you'll both think of all the great memories. Thanks for sharing just remember Amy you not only rode it you filmed it as well. 🚴🚴🚴
|Me too .
Awesome filming and commentary from your side. Great ride and even more fun seeing you passing me with a happy "Bonjour" at 11:39
Glad you enjoyed it!! Ahh lovely that you’re in it too!! 🙌
I was 31 when I did my first PBP in 1983, wow over 40 years ago now... I skipped the 1987 one and came back for another go in 1991 after doing 12,000km cycle touring around western Europe for two months, I finished that one in about 70 hours. I was back again in 1995 but after 400km sickness put me out. You are a natural commentator, so cheery, well most of the time :)
That’s awesome, the cycling trip in Europe sounds great!! Sorry to hear about the 1995 one. Thanks for watching!
This is fantastic. Your enthusiasm and perseverance, even when in obvious pain and so tired, are inspirational. And Kyle is so incredibly cool all the time. What a guy. Totally inspirational duo, nice one.
Jeeze, what a picture of determination. You are inspiring.
Amy, you are incredible. I have done some rides where I didn't think I would finish, I just wanted to get off and push - but then you realise, it's still quicker to keep riding and you'll get to the finish sooner, so you just keep peddling. In just keeping going, you inspire others.
Thanks so much 🫶 glad you enjoyed the video!
“Snack up” I might just nick that phrase! A tough watch seeing you in pain, sheer willpower and teamwork got you through. I’m in awe, saying well done just doesn’t cover it.
Aww Amy my heart felt for you when you were having a little cry. Your mental strength is phenomenal. We know how great a cyclist you are and it frustrates you to not be at your best but Wow Wow Wow. Amazing girl. Amazing 🎉🎉🎉
Well done Amy, for carrying on even through your pain. I saw a video of some guy who bailed and got the train back to the start just because it wasn't going the way he wanted, and he wasn't enjoying the route. Absolutely arrogant! You are a testament to perseverance and tenacity, You should be immensely proud of yourself. What an achievement
I've been a vegetarian for 20 years, but if Kyle can finish that ride looking as fresh as he did on what appears to be a series of jambon beurre and sodas, I need to give my diet a re-think! Congratulations to the both of you on an amazing cycling accomplishment!
😂😂 thank you!!
What an incredible adventure, well done to you both, your video account is outstanding.
Thank you so much!
When something really challenging comes upon me, I’ll be thinking about Amy persevering through PBP, and I’ll know I can make it too. Well done! You’re an inspiration! And Kyle, those words at the end, so sweet.
Fantastic achievement, well done! If you haven’t already it might be worth having a bike fit, could stop any potential injuries in the future 👍
Thank you so much! And it’s on the agenda! ☺️
It’s 10.00 in the AM and I’ve only just got to watch this. An amazing journey for you guys and you’ve rode the dream ride that many such as me weren’t able to do so. So proud of you both ❤️ TTFN ✌️
Thank you 🫶 glad you enjoyed the video!
Fighting through the pain as you did shows what a fabulously strong women you are. Love your videos ♥️👍👍👍👍
Thank you!!
You and Kyle are the best. Thank you for sharing this adventure with us. ❤
Ultra-kudos for completing the ride given the pain, heat, exhaustion and discomfort you were in. Also to Kyle too who just seemed to power through and especially up all of the hills.
And yet, despite the pain, you refused to give up, telling yourself and us over and over again how you were not going to give up and that you would make it to the end. And you did. Your attitude shows that this type of cycling is as much about mind-power as leg-power - and you have both in spades.
And I also loved the fact that even through the tears you smiled, you sang and said hello to the other riders or locals. Great watch Amy and one of the best videos I think I've seen from you so far. I think it shows that there's a lot more we are going to be seeing from you in the months and years ahead.
Chapeau!
Ah thank you so much for such a lovely comment :) It can't have been that bad as we are defo going to do it in 2027! Pain doesn't last but the good memories do I guess!
@@amy.cycling.adventures That's true, although I do vividly remember the pain I was in after PBP 2019 as mentioned in comment on your last day in France vid
Assos shorts well worth the price tags Amy .
You are absolutely awesome! Riding through that pain. You've learned that you are far stronger than you thought and are an inspiration!
Amy, you made me cry watching you cry. Congratulations to you both!
Broke my heart to see you having such a rough ride home. Way to hang in there. Only you know how hard it was to endure those last couple of hundred miles and most would probably have given up. You guys made the first half look so easy.
Awesome effort, both of you. Be sure to rest your body, we can all wait for the next video, your health comes first!
What a absolute rock Kyle is, top man
„my bum is not happy - but i am“!!!
you two are amazing! congratulation🎉🎉🎉
It seems like at the end of the ride you were in your own personal hell.
Apart from the saddle of hell, the lessons learnt in the pub will a great session 👍
Well done on getting to the end with Kyle...
Amy, I have the greatest respect for you! You are a true fighter in the saddle.....I take back my previous commentary regarding your singing....You can sing for me anytime!!
Cheers, you courageous gal.
Best Regards,
Pjw
Think you have captured the real experience on this video. Highs, lows, pain and carbs. Lots of carbs. You even got Kyle doing a jambon dance 🕺!
Impressive. Perseverance over adversity got you to the end. Kyle is right though, its about the memories.Hope your recovery is swift and you heal quickly. You should both be very proud of what you achieved. 👍
I have just one word: Amazing! Well done! Thanks for bringing us along.
You really are a fine example and inspiration. The way you persevered and held on to your good humour. Such good character. I salute you. Chapeau 🎩
Well done!!! You're a trooper for sticking to your guns and finishing, Kyle was right, you would have been full of regret if you had caught a taxi so close to the end. Wounds heal, memories live on.
Well done Amy, fantastic effort. Hope you’re having a well deserved rest and the cuts are healing! 🚴♂️🚴💪🏼
Oh Amy!!! You made me cry😢😢. I'm so proud of you and what you and Kyle have done absolutely fantastic. You were obviously in so much pain but wow what mental and physical strength. Absolutely brilliant ❤
Utterly amazing Amy. What you and Kyle have achieved together will last a life time. Chapeau to you both
Absolute respect to you two 😊
You rode with inspiration love,thank you for every pedal stroke.
That was so inspiring 🎉. Well done both of you 👏
Thank you!
Wow! Very brave! Thanks for sharing, the good and the difficult.
Even with the discomfort, you're still like an excited little puppy. I love the attitude - not giving up despite the pain, and already looking forward to doing it again. Well done to the pair of you
Amazing ride Amy. You just pushed through 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I’ll be 63 in 4 years but you may have inspired me to give it a go!! Kyle fantastic ride- so strong 💪🏽 Julia
Amy....... You absolute warrior!
Thoroughly enjoyed both of these PBP video's. A really tough watch when you were in tears.......but a massive testament to your resolve and endurance.
Massive congratulations to you, Kyle and everyone who rode it or had a hand in the behind the scenes organisation of the whole event!
Thanks for sharing all of your emotions. I can feel with you, I was also crying on my second PBP in 2011, but I also finished. Congratulations to you and your husband.
Congratulations...Amy&Kyle 🚴♂️🚴♀️
Unbelievable. Just Unbelievable!!! What an experience!! What a determination!! Wow!!
Chapeau to you both, absolutely brilliant. Amy you are one tough cookie. Looking forward to the next great vid.
Amazing achievement, well done! Very much enjoyed Kyle’s’ I love jambon’ song and dance 😂
That was a real rollercoaster of a ride. Well done Amy and your ride partner husband Kyle who didn’t seem to have the same sores as you. I had a better time riding with my club mate Jackie who finished in 76hrs. We started Sunday evening so were on a 600,300,300 schedule for our ride that worked well.
Congratulations to both of you..
You are so amazing in what you do you have amazing strength and energy in getting through the pain you always have my support in cycling
The best PBP video of all. Respect to you both, Kyle is a machine 👏👏✊
Former Aussie PBP rider here, a great cheap way to have cold water while riding is to cover your water bottles with a thick sock, sew them on at the bottle neck with some strong thread, colour coordinate them if your want to, soak them when you fill up the bottles, voila, cold water as the water in the socks evaporates.
Ohh good idea!! Thanks!
Congratulations! Heroes! Sorry to see you suffer so much. What an achievement. Bravo!
What a little star you are. Congratulations to you and Kyle, awesome achievement. Thanks for capturing the emotion of the moment absolutely brilliant. That you shills, trolls, attention seeking weirdos is how you make a UA-cam video.
Amy, so proud of you finishing. Hopefully you'll have built a proper bum callus to protect you during future rides. 😃
Wow! What a kick in the nuts, but you made it. Super kudos to you and Kyle.
Kyle as an English gentleman you are, swapping saddles near the end could have been an option, fantastic achievement both of you
A thousand yipee's to you both, it was hard watching it never mind riding it, incredible ride Amy and Kyle Chapeau
You did it, félicitations! 😉👋🇨🇵
Absolutely in awe of you guys. Chapeau 👏👏👏
Aww thanks!!
Wow, congratulations to you both, such an amazing achievement 👏👏👏👏
Hello Amy,
A big CONGRATULATIONS to the both of you for completing the ride... I know it is a bit of a cliché but pain is temporary, but failure is permanent.
Take care.
Paul,,
What an achievement - round of applause Amy & Kyle

Amy abouslte legend❤💪👊
You are tough as nails Amy! I'm very impressed with your physical and mental fortitude. Nice work! You're an inspiration 🚴♀
such a happy person, makes me cry a bit.
👏 👏 congratulations what an achievement, well done both of you inspirational. Germolene or Sudacrem both have pain soothing properties numbs the bum so the ladies on the London-Paris ride told me 😂
Awesome, awesome ride Amy and Kyle, congrats. The memory of your accomplishment will stay with you for a long time.
Amy, your courage to battle through the pain and discomfort is quite formidable, respect to you..
Wow you two did amazingly well, a brilliant documentary you really captured the spirit of the ride. thank you.
Congratulations 🥳 wonderful wonderful effort. Thank you kindly to show the PBP advantage. When you rested and recovered, tips for 2027 PBP ❤
congrats…and thanks for the amazing video
You and Kyle rock - fantastic 🎉
You're becoming my favourite youtuber!
You have a SUPER DOMESTIQUE in Kyle.... panniers on way out and keeping you going when the Going gets Tough
Fair play both you, incredible effort. Saddle sore on the commute to work is hard enough!
Amy, you crushed it! I could feel how much hurt you were in and you just kept going! Your optimism and positivity were shining through, even through tears. So impressed! Thank you for sharing your journey.
What a great video of your experience. There were certainly many UPs, but the downs are also expected. You are so entertaining with your “woo-hoo”, your “walking like a duck”, and your honest crying with the pain! Quite an accomplishment!
