I'm a 60 something cyclist.... I was crying with you 5 minutes from the end. You are a legend Amy Hudson... because of you my mileage has doubled in the last year, hills I would look at I just paaaah at when I reach the top... from a fellow cyclist thank you for sharing your adventures.. Kyle, Your Dad and your Mums hearts must be beating out of their chests.. A huge well done.... !!!! oh and well done for Wayne coming out to see you... next time share your route with us...
Aww thanks so much!! So glad to hear you’re getting out and enjoying your cycling! 🙌☺️
I could feel the happiness and relief. Brought a tear to my eye too! Amazing ride and achievement.
All your you tube fan's are so proud of you Amy. Thank you,
One of the most inspirational individuals on UA-cam.

22:52 Kyle lol
Amy, I never comment on social media. Yet, here I am, wishing to say that you are truly inspirational. As a fellow woman cyclist who very often doubts herself, I find it so helpful to see how you cope with the lows on your rides. I've started incorporating some of your coping mechanisms into my rides as well and turns out, my mileage is quickly increasing! Thank you for these videos and congratulations on the epic ride!
Thank you so much! This is so great to hear, hope you enjoy all your rides, keep going & maybe see you on an Audax some time ☺️🫶 don’t let the doubt stop you x
Well done Amy, you’re an inspiration. I’m 75 and only been cycling for 6 years. The next time I’m feeling low and still got 30 miles to go I’ll think of you and just get on with it. Thank you!
Ahh that’s so great to hear! Enjoy your rides ☺️
Nice going John, cycling levels age 👍🏻
Us old timers have been drinking from streams for a very long time and we’ve survived but, for reassurance, modern water filters are light and compact. Worth considering. Dehydration takes a long time to recover from. An astonishing achievement, so many miles and hills, and you still managed to film it and tell the story. “Don’t use the same finger,” made me laugh.
Well done. Well done. Well done. Some highs and lows but you got through it. Well done
Crumbs total respect Amy. You are one tough cookie with absolutely nothing to prove. Total inspiration. Well done.
Thanks Amy I've never ever done this before supporting someone for there efforts like this but that 680 miles truly deserves a little support as I normally say KEEP UM ROLLING AMY & KYLE 🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴
Aww thank you SO MUCH that’s so kind of you 🫶 you really didn’t need to! I’ll get a few chai lattes to celebrate 🙌😂
Your strength cannot be overestimated, Amy. Always try your best - that's all you can ask of yourself.
This was a tremendous effort. You are a superwoman. Believe in yourself 💪💪🚴👍👍
You are the sweetest girl and strongest woman all rolled Into one, I don’t think there’s another cycling channel at this current time that’s turning out such quality content. Loving you and every thing you do.
Thank you so much!! 🫶
You are an incredible person and cyclist. I'm in total awe of your latest achievement riding 680 miles with over 51000 feet of climbing in under 71 hours. Truly exceptional performance. You motivate all your fellow cyclists to keep on trying to improve, never give up and ultimately fulfill your dreams. Finally you and Kyle are a lovely couple and I was impressed with both of you with your epic Mortirolo climb. Major kudos.
Thank you so much!! ☺️
I certainly don't watch UA-cam videos this long yet I put this one on on the big TV in the living room, sat down & watched from start to finish with the wife. Absolute top effort. Saying you shouldn't doubt yourself is easy for an outsider but what you've accomplished, not just on this ride, is incredible. You thoroughly deserve all these opportunities that's came your way. Best cycling channel by an absolute mile imo. Sorry, milone ;)
Ahh thank you so much! Oh no my dishevelled look on the big screen 😂😂 thanks for watching!
Congratulations Amy, you are an inspiration. My husband and I were following you on the stats, amazing achievement . X
Amy you are absolutely legend. I've completed some mega tough challenges serving in the Army, running carrying a heavy Bergen for miles and miles up and over the Pen-Y-Fan for example and been close to tears at the end of some of them, so I know what that feels like. But I don't know if I could've done what you've just done "straight off the bat" that's incredible, and it really sets you apart. Please don't you ever believe that you're not good enough - you're more than good enough, you are exceptional, take it from one who knows - exceptional. Very well done, a big virtual hug and a kiss from me.
Aww thank you SO SO much!!!
Phenomenal achievement, well done! I did a solo 1000 miles in 10 days for Mencap back in 1982. It was really challenging, but in no way compares to your epic ride. I was able to sleep each night at either friends or family. 😊
Well done, you did it whoop whoop. Never in doubt, fantastic effort Amy, sit back and bask in the glow knowing despite all your self doubt, you came, saw and conquered, there’s nothing you can’t do!
Thank you so much!! 🫶
What an achievement, congratulations. I'm knackered after 80 miles so I dont think I could manage what you have done. You're a true inspiration keep it up.
What an incredible video and achievement!! Your bravery at both videoing and overcoming adversity was awesome. Massive congratulations Amy......you can literally do anything now!
Thank you!! 🙌☺️
That was ace, well done. You are great in front of the camera.
Thanks! Thanks for watching ☺️
Blooming Nora, what an achievement! The cycling alone is enough to have a grown man weep, and then add sleeping in bus shelters and graveyards with no proper food in the tummy, endless climbs, rain, and a broken bottom. Gee Whizz. You could not pay me to attempt doing the same.
Haha I’m a bit crazy 🤪 will defo do it again next year! The highs outweigh all the low points for sure ☺️
@@amy.cycling.adventures You are nothing short of a super hero. Amazing Amy 😊
Congratulations Amy! You can take great pride in your achievement. You have proven that you are a much stronger and resilient person than you ever thought possible. Your achievement will inspire others to dare to achieve things they never thought themselves possible of.
Thank you so much! ☺️
Amy you are the best example of someone who doesn’t let the tough times dictate the happy times, I’ve watched this 3 times now and I’m still blown away , I’m new to cycling but if I can have half the passion you have then il be doing ok, keep smiling because you smiling makes people who don’t feel like smiling feel better, your an inspiration to people suffering with mental health, stay strong and hopefully il get to meet you on the road one day 😊
Aww thank you so much!! Hope you love your rides as much as I do ☺️ yes hopefully see you on the road 🫶 stay safe!
Wow Amy, I was one of your first 100 followers on YT and.you constantly amaze me with how far you have come in such a short space of time.
What an incredible achievement, takes such courage and determination I can't even imagine how hard this must have been physically and mentally. Thanks for sharing such an honest and unflinching account of your journey with us!
Aww thanks for being here from the start!! It was mega hard but the best thing I’ve done ☺️
Huge congratulations, Amy. Steel, determination and a big heart for cycling! Never in doubt! 🙂
Thanks so much! 😊
Wow, I m so impressed by you Amy! Being way out there on the road is nerve wracking enough without having to deal with being alone in the middle of the night. What a monumental ride to take on, still watching the vid but big AY-UP to you lass!!!
Thank you so much! ☺️
I echo all of the praise and good wishes that others have written on such a remarkable achievement. Whilst this sort of epic adventure (conquering your own Everest) tests your physical and mental limits, you’ve got through it all with flying colours and are even greater person on account of this steadfast accomplishment, as the French would say, Chapeau! Just as importantly is the impact of you sharing this adventure in such an honest and transparent way with us and from what I am reading all of the good that it does to others. Keep it up.
Thank you so much 🫶 yes some good recovery has been had this week! Itching to ride again now though!
Superb achievement. Well done on battling through all the bad bits and getting it done
Absolutely brilliant Amy. Not just well done, but awesomely well done. This journey of your biking adventures just keeps getting better, and helping you realize that you have always been worthy, no matter what you go through. The high's, the lows, they are all a part of what makes you the woman you are. Just like my daughter who has been, and still is going through some mental health issues, she is also so worthy, even more so because she's still my little girl at the age of 40. With mental health we tend to focus on the negative no matter how well we have done. But when we have time to look back and see how far we have come, we see it is all worth it. So those negative moments become our strength that keep's taking us forward. What a brilliant time you had doing this ride. And what an amazing time we have watching you achieve so much in life. Time to relax and recover a little before the next journey. 👏
Aww thank you so so much! That’s so true, we don’t often focus on the positives! Thanks and hope your daughter is doing okay 🫶
Absolutely fantastic well done 👏👏👏👏
Thank you!! ☺️
As I watched you overcome so many challenges I realized that is what cycling is all about. We all go through challenges every day, It's how we deal with them and stay positive through the challenging times. Good for you to be brave enough to step out of your comfort zone. You are AMAZING. Wahoo
100% thank you so much!
I couldn’t agree more with the people who say you are an inspiration. Congratulations. Love the channel.
Ahh thank you so much 🤍
Wow, made me teary when you went near the end. Well done you absolutely incredible, inspirational tbh.
Aww thank you!!
Blooming Nora! Gee Whiz! That was amazing!
Congratulations, you continue to be an inspiration to all you're viewers. I actually did my first 200K ride yesterday and I'm feeling proud but tired today 😊
Thank you so much! Ahh massive well done on your first 200km! That’s awesome ☺️
Well done that was amazing and thanks for leaving the lows in the video that was a very honest and less confident cyclists wouldn’t have left those moments in the video ❤
Thank you 🫶 I like to keep it as real as possible 😅
I haven’t got the words to express how incredible this achievement is, I’m in such awe!
If I knew you were riding through my home county of North Yorkshire, I would have come and cheered you on. Bit sad that women feel anxious about riding in the dark. Maybe one day that will change for the better. Well done Amy.
Well done Amy. You are amazing and so brave,you're such an inspiration. Even had me crying at the end, when you knew you had completed it in time. Just awesome stuff.
Thank you so much!! Awww sorry for making your cry 😅😅
WELL DONE AMY HUDSON!!!! you are one amazing person CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! kudos kudos kudos! 🥳🎉
Thank you so much!! 🙌🙌☺️
Well done. A tough ride in the best conditions. Plenty have tried and dnf. You could have googled that plaque question. Those open roads are horrendous in wind/rain/snow. So a win there
Wow Amy, what an epic effort! You did an amazing job. Love your videos. And your words at the end of your ride were really from your heart!
Aww thank you!! Thanks for watching along 🫶
Well done 👍🏻 and thank you for a proper long video adventure.. looking forward to your your next video in Italy with Kyle
Thank you!! ☺️
Incredible resiliance Amy, you are such a strong rider, should be very proud of yourself.
You’re absolutely amazing. I’ve just come across your Chanel and I’m in wonderment at what you do.
Thanks! Thanks for watching 🙌☺️
Amazing achievement Amy and so inspirational... Feeling 🥵 just watching your vlog. Well done!!!
Brilliant video, brilliant ride. Well done Amy. What a star. There's a reason I think you're the best UA-camr cyclist out there. Just your pure honesty and openness is so welcoming. Thank you! Keep making these brilliant videos :0)
Aww thank you so much!! 🫶🫶
Congratulations Amy, we were crying with you ,and are so pleased that you achieved your goal, keep being you and inspiring all who follow your adventures 😊
Aww thanks so much 🫶☺️
OMGoodness, you are a rockstar!! First, I love the raw footage of all your emotions. That is what life is, emotions. The good the bad the indifferent. Embrace the highs and the lows equally if you can, no judgement ever just pure respect. Your cycling is amazing and I am with your mother, no freakin’ way I am sleeping in a graveyard…LOL… was there a rule that you had to sleep 3 hrs?? I am in the USA and I have never heard of this cycling race, but love it. In my next life, I’m coming back as a bad ass cyclist like you Amy!! Well Done!!😊😊😊
Thanks so much!! Yes you had to stop for three hours every 24 hours after the first 24 had passed ☺️
Fantastic Amy, well done , I'm not crying, you are, we both are 😭😄 brilliant
You are truly an inspirational amazing young lady. Very brave doing APN on your own. So strong. Well done. You have given me a kick up the backside to get out on my bike and get some miles in. Did RAB LEJOG a couple of years ago, need to get back to that fitness level again. Its surprising how much an individual can push themselves. There is always more in you! Keep going with the adventures. Think you should do a petrol station review of all the stations you stopped at APN 😄
Seeing how nervous and scared you get but then seeing you overcome it is truly an inspiration
Absolutely smashed this as per!
Thank you 🫶🫶
Congrats Amy, well done, you are a star. Never had a doubt in you.
Thank you! 😊 🙌
I'm so impressed. Bravo Amy.
Wow. Bravo.
You did amazingly well Amy. Well done. Incredible...no way I could do that.
Thank you so much!
Just watched this video
Wow!!! Absolutely brilliant
I’ve got stuff going on in my life that’s going to change my plans forever and so I think you’ve shown me what I want to do
I’m 57 now and my wife has terminal cancer which is preventing me following the ultra route for now but watching these videos is giving me hope for the future and something I can positively view as a way to focus after the inevitable
Keep riding and keep filming 👍👍
I’m so so sorry to hear that. I hope cycling can be something that helps you in the future 🤍 can’t imagine what you’re going through
Amy I’ve followed for a long time and it’s great to see your journey and how far you’ve come. Was emotional watching that 10 miles from the end and the speech! You are always good enough ❤
Thank you so much 🫶🫶
@@amy.cycling.adventures also loved the way you’d never had a sausage roll and had 2 in the same video 😂😂
Excellent Amy, you're an example for all of us.
What an achievement. Inspirational,Amy. Well done. Chapeau
Truly amazing, words are not enough, that was awesome. Cant imagine being hardy enough to do that. Just wow! Well done.
Thanks so much ☺️
Well done for not only completing the event and in a good time and position, but also for overcoming your fears of being alone etc.
Congratulations.
Thank you! ☺️
Well done. What a challenge and you did it!!! Nice to see you back in the UK doing audaxes. This is why I started following you.❤
Ahh thank you!! 🫶 yes Audax is always me fav and always will be 😍
Awesome!! I really love your true feelings on video and how real it is. You are very motivating.. Keep up the great content!!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video ☺️ a disheveled look 😆
Amazing! I was in disbelief when I first saw the distance on Strava. Good on Morrisons for allowing to take your bike inside too.
Thanks! Haha yes it was a long way 😅😅 was so grateful for the Morrisons!
Amy, I’ve only just started
Cycling - two weeks in with my
Gravel bike and I’ve got to say you are the most positive I’ve person I’ve ever seen in absolute exhausting conditions. No doubt you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Best of luck and know you so many fans watching and cheering you on
Ahh thank you 🫶🫶 so great to hear that you’ve started cycling, hope you have lots of happy rides 🙌 thanks for watching 🫶
You need some victory chimp socks that say "sausage rolls" on the back lol. Wow you are one incredible girl Amy, I so felt for you at the flooded road. You must be so proud of yourself. Happy tears! I watched you come across the Majorca 312 finish line just behind Keaton. Well done. X
Thank you! Haha they would be good socks 😂😂 thanks for watching 🫶
Awesome Amy!!!!! I was contemplating my first 400km audax, signed up after 7mins of this :)
Aww yay!!!! Go for it!! Enjoy!
Well done Amy, you are an inspiration in so many ways!!
Thank you 🫶🫶
I finally got time to watch this video and wow Amy, massive congratulations on completing All Points North👌You should be extremely proud of this achievement, what a test of endurance and will power and you passed with absolute distinction👍There is no stopping you😂I could never contemplate such a ride, I thought I did well to ride 112 miles on Thursday with 7000ft of climbing on my e bike🤪Hats off to you Amy👌
Thank you so much, I didn’t think I could do it 😅 ahh well done that sounds like a beast of a ride, a lot of climbing in there! ☺️
Brilliant Amy & congratulations on completing this epic challenging event which is definitely not for the faint hearted.
You should be proud of yourself for completing such a ride.
Funny points which had me crying with laughter -
. Overnight camping in tent watching you talk to your video was reminiscent of watching’ The Blair witch project’ 👍👍
Hat’s off 💪😀👍
Thanks so much and haha it was pretty creepy!!
Well done. Had an endurance bike myself, the Ribble Endurance Ti with Tailfin trunkbang and panniers. Got rid of it though as not a fan anymore of diamond frames due to discomfort from numb hands, sore bum etc. Now into recumbents for comfort and the fact that you dont fight the wind as it rolls off you. The person who bought the Ribble Endurance Ti, intends to do Lands End to john O'Groats
Absolutely amazing.
You must feel so proud of yourself.
What a ride. 🚴🚴🚴
Young Lady take a bow An absolute awesome effort bravo...
High Respect! I am now trying to build the same strength and confidence as you have! Your video is an inspiration! Congratulations!
Ahh thank you so much ☺️ good luck with your rides! Go for it 🙌
Wow well done 👏 🎉
You should be so proud of yourself Amy ❤
Flipping amazing!! Well done 👍👍💪💪
Thank you!!
Good on you girl, I don't you but I felt like I was on the ride with you, except you were doing all the work. Well done, an amazing feat, My heart was pounding near the end, would we make it I thought, yep, we did and I felt proud for you. Thank you for sharing your adventure...
Thank you so much! 🫶 glad you enjoyed the video ☺️
Congratulations Amy on the adventure. Very entertaining and motivating, you already have one more subscriber. Great you, indeed!!!
Amy, you are an absolute star, you overcame so many demons and proved that you were up to it……..and, you had your first sausage roll, your body told you what it needed and you gave it that. At 73 with an ebike I will never be as good as you and 40+ miles is a bloody good day for me, I was a rock climber for over 50 years and now my ebike takes me to wonderful places I would never go, ‘cause there wasn’t a crag at the end, so still making memories.
Aww thanks so much!! Glad you’re out enjoying your rides!! Wow rock climbing now that sounds scary to me! 😅
i'm not one to leave comments, but i have to say Amy that is one of the best cycling i have seen and i have seen a lot. So genuine so thank you for sharing your experience and keep going, yippee.
Thank you so much 🫶🫶
Andy Ultracycling bailed out - you did great Amy !
Ever thought of getting Photochromatic glasses that change the tint with the light levels....I don't think I could ride without glasses on 😮
Yesterday did 195 miles with 13k of elevation in 14hrs....this pales in comparison to what you did my girl.....excellent effort 👋
Thanks! Yes I should get some of those actually!
Ahh mega ride well done too ☺️
Well done Amy your an inspiration, keep on riding.
Thank you! Will do! ☺️🙌
Truly absolutely a must watch - you Amy are incredible - so gritty so determined - so talented a cyclist - like many of the other comments I have been inspired so much to take on longer distances- honestly what a brilliant film and so love all your family and Kyle as the quiet steady love and support we all need when we tackle these challenges - enjoy and bask in the glory of this xxx well done girl you smashed it.
Thanks so much!! 🙌🙌 still setting in that I did it 😆
Congratulations on that epic ride 👏 done amazing young lady ❤
Well done Amy, that was another awesome ride and video, thanks for sharing. Hope you've got a nice rest coming up. You're an amazing person!
Thank you 🫶 I rested this week….onto another ride this weekend 😅
Absolutely smashed it Amy you should be really proud of yourself, the amount of climbing you did was crazy as well 😮 superb effort
Thank you so much!! Yes think I planned a VERY hilly route 🤦♀️😂 but I wanted to avoid main roads!
Fantastic achievement Amy!.What an adventure!
Thank you! Yes it was a proper adventure 🙌
Last 5 mins of the vid I was so emotional with you! Well done Amy. Absolutely amazing and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your APN experience!
Thanks so much for watching 🫶🫶☺️
I follow lots of cycling channels and never make a comment but I needed to congratulate you on such a super effort. You are so much stronger than you give yourself credit for. Fantastic attitude 🤘🏻. Follower in Australia
Ahh thank you so much, really appreciate it ☺️
Wow, wat a great achievement Amy, you are so strong and brave, you’re the Amazing Amy. Congratulations, well done 👍👍🚲🚲🚲🥳🥳🥳
Thank you 🫶☺️
Congratulations Amy, I think you can rightly call yourself superhuman after that. Thank you once again for the inspiration - my rides are nowhere near as long as yours, but you keep inspiring me to get out and get the miles in, and they keep creeping up.
Regarding the nettles, try keeping a couple of antihistamines in your jersey on every ride. A wasp stung me several times in the mouth once, and a loratadine took it from intense pain to barely an itch in 20mins. If it had been a few inches further back, it might well have saved my life. They're good for stung bums too!
Thank you!! Ahh that’s so lovely to hear, it doesn’t matter how far you go as long as you’re riding 🙌 Hope you enjoy them ☺️ stay safe!
Ohh thanks! The wasp sting sounds horrible!!
Jeez, that was a range of emotions. You are a cycling machine, superb effort. Never doubt yourself, there's only a handful of people in the country who could have done what you did!
Thank you!! ☺️
That little garage by Wooler does cycle spares too. I’ve used it when we were staying at the caravan park at Riverside ❤
Such a great garage 🙌🙌
You are my hero! Thats a looong ride. I really like your editing, with all emotions. Just wow..👏👍
A very big Job Well Done , What with Paris - Roubiax , Velo Bavarian Pinarello day ,Gravel riding, Mallorca 312 and Italy , you must be worn out . What a star you are , Keep safe.May see you out and about over the Summer.😎😎😀😀
Thanks! Yes a lot going on, so many opportunities coming our way, doesn’t really feel real, but after our next adventure we have some rest time ☺️ much needed haha!
Amazing Amy you are an inspiration to a lot of people 👏👏👏
I've had to cross a flooded road before. I took my shoes and socks off and stuck them in my jersey pockets! Then I rode barefoot until the wind dried my feet. It was very uncomfortable barefoot pedaling on SPD pedals but a few minutes of discomfort is worth having dry feet.
Great effort, Amy! I can't imagine ever doing something like that.
Amy you are an inspiration. Love your videos, but this one is beyond....Congratulations!!
Thank you so much! 🫶
Well done Amy. Loved the honesty of this video. The ups and the downs. A fantastic achievement. I should have ridden last year but a serious injury while training meant I had to pull out. I can still cycle but no more long endurance rides😢. Ultra distance cycling = the constant need for food and cycling past possible wee spots 😂
Thank you so much!! Ahhh so sorry to hear about your injury 😢 Hope you enjoy what rides you can do 🫶
You are amazing, so proud of your achievement. Well done Amy.
Thank you 🫶
