Totally felt for you with that early flat. The frustration was palpable. Just shows that by adapting and not letting frustration ruin the day, you still got to have a cracking ride with your mate. Nice one! Hope your eye’s settling down now!
The flat was an incorrectly seated tubeless tyre fitted by a bike shop? Lesson is to do it yourself, and be ready to shove a tube in! I only ride road, so will stick to tubes me thinks. Great vid!
Love the chaos and anarchy of your adventures. 😂You need to find a four leaf clover 🍀 and take it with you on every ride to improve your luck! Mind you it would it wound be a Juliet ride without something coming at you left field. 😂👍 Can't wait for the next adventure!
1st part where you got stung is like, Nebraska... sOOOOOOOO many dirt roads and stickers too so ya gotta wrench too... believe it or else, there is undulations Tornadoes and Thunderstorms and Beauty everywhere.... Here where I am from.... i mean if ya wanna warm up for your next event or make a new one! P.s. ilovemarin always have always will.
God seems to have decreed you two being thrown a spanner in the works every time you start racing your gravels ⚡⚡ 🤔 I wanted to affirm my support and show my sympathy for all those cuts and bruises you had to endure; Rest up and consider basking in that Spanish Sun soon after the finish line 🌞🌻 =]
Gravel is so random with flats hey. You could ride all year but have a flat then do a race and pop. Looks like you didn't have much sealant in that wheel Juliet. Glasses and gloves Juliet you silly 🐒. Beautiful Course you did well with Juliana.
Why was everybody so damn nice in your race!? I only met the silent and performance orientated riders on track! Sometimes a flat tire brings you to the better places.. 🙃 Anyways, thank you for your great video! Loved to see parts of the route again whilst you‘re commentating + riding like a pro.
@@JulietElliottsChannel It is I who should thank you for producing such entertaining videos, and making hard work seem like fun, thus encouraging us all to action. And you do it with such grace.
Mega angry wasp or a Hornet ! Normally worst in Sept , Oct when they are drunk on apple juice.. Not a fan of tubeless when it goes bad it really goes bad.. Still you learnt the course for next year if you give it a go again..
"...Costa Brava Spain..." ????!!! Get your facts right. Girona is not "Costa Brava". It is Spain, as much as Glasgow is England. "Trakka spirit" I recommend that in the future you take it in a more relaxed manner from the beginning. Organizer "Klassmart" states very clear, that it is NOT a competitive event.
Good job you still made it and its lovely how positive you are! Thank you so much for the fun videos and hopefully see you in Scotland!
Thank you, glad you like them. See you there!
Cheerful, despite the adversity.. another wonderful sunny video.. Thanks Juliet.. Hope your sting heals quickly..
Thank you
Just shows want any thing done do it yourself ,Chapeau for carrying on to the finish.

Your chaotic preparation and pre-race would do my head in…. But it makes for much more entertaining videos 😁Looks like a great event 👍
Haha yeah it does MY head in. Need to get better at it!
Even your ‘disaster’ videos cheer me up!
You have a great attitude and outlook that never fails to make me smile 🙂👍
Certainly, a ride to remember. Beautiful ride!
What great fun despite all the challenges. I love stilling at home drinking my coffee and imagining me at 74 out with you all. Thanks for the ride :)
Always showing the ups n downs 👍 another great video ❤
Another wonderful video thanks for sharing!
A good alternative to Tubolito are the RideNow TPU tubes, which are basically the same but much cheaper.
Thank you, good to know
Nice! Thanks!
Cheese and jam sandwich! OMG My fav. Must be a West Country thing 😍
Haha
It wouldn't be a Juliet ride without mishaps, glad you finished 😋
dont ever give up!
That was such fun to watch! Thank you so much for sharing 👍♥️
That’s super nice to hear, thank you
I was at that race. That big climb was brutal in the sun! Glad you finished the raced even with all the mishaps
Thank you. How did your race go?
@@JulietElliottsChannel It went great aside from me bonking around 130-160km
Well that was eventful 😊

The most important thing is to have fun.
Well wow. Everything but a comet striking the earth.

High drama. Makes great viewing :) Thx
A kit/gear question if I may???
How and where do you carry your GoPro so you can get it out while riding and have it steady enough to talk to? Thanks

It’s true, there’s a different vibe at the back of the race, it’s hard to be sociable at the front!
Super WoW ! So Fresh after 200k pffff
@1:17 guy in orange vest left to Juliet
What a race! 🤪🤭
😃👍
Greeting.... spirit
If tubilitos are so expensive, why not carry a cheaper tube to use
Because there’re tiny and incredibly lightweight. I carry one regular tube and then the tubolito for emergency use only
Well done.
Thanks Richard

Will you never learn...no new gear before a race! Doesn't matter, I still love the vids :)
Ugh you’re so right, Damn!!
M o r n i n g !
Ouch that face sting got a little swollen!😮
Is that helmet good in hot weather or is it better for cooler days?
It’s great, enormous vents with honeycomb structure covering them for strength
I think this was a exactly the plan which suits you. Why race if you're out of shape and underprepared, better enjoy!
And how do you know that I’m out of shape? 🤣
@@JulietElliottsChannelou keep on telling us? Keep on going, we enjoy your antics.

For sure, I’ll be back!
I think it would be best not take new untested kit on your next adventure
Definitely
😆😆😆none of your rides ever go to plan 👍
Think I'd have stayed in the toilet & had a kip😅😅😅
Bit drier and warmer than Dirty Reiver.
Thank god!
you inspired me to have a go Juliet ! See you in 2024 ! @@JulietElliottsChannel
What are the odds 🤣
Tracas? Means worries in French
👏👏👏👏👏👏😍
Sorry - did you say cheese and jam sandwich!?! What is this devilry??
Hahaha
Cheese and jam ???? For the love of God....
Your are just very 😃
Why is Guliana slow you down every race 😂😂

I would have just fixed the flat and carried on tbh..
She didn’t seem prepared for that…
What do you think I did? You somehow missed the bit where I fix it and carry on?
The way the video was edited, it seemed like you watched everybody ride by until two “nice people” stopped to help you.
@@JulietElliottsChannel I think someone else did that for you ;)
