This! This is the kind of video that got me hooked on your channel. Riding bikes and uplifting inspirational dialogue. You are such a breath of fresh air! And it makes me want to go ride my bike. It’s so therapeutic. Thank you Amy! And Kyle!! 💙
Amy you’re absolutely unbelievable, you make 128 miles look a breeze 😊 Then you’re out again the following day…..wowzer. Love watching your videos ❤🚴♂️
Best vid!!! Hard to believe there was a time in your life when you wanted to "give up". What a tragedy for all of us who've had the privilege of getting to know you over the past two years! Cheers Amy, Pjw
Nothing taught me gratitude like those long, hard rides. Much more so in winter, when a 1000 km ride that would be easy in summer becomes a very hard ride. Experience the cold, wind, rain, hunger and nowhere warm to sleep and the ever ticking clock that means you must keep moving and have little time to rest if you want to complete the ride in time. You're grateful for those few crumbs of comfort that you can find and when you finally arrive home, life is great because you have food, shelter and a warm bed. Even if I failed the ride. I won't have given in lightly or without good reason. The gratitude is immense!
I’m a runner who’s just discovered your channel. It’s now my new motivational tool on the dark, cold winter nights. I’m even thinking of getting my bike out and dusting it off this weekend.
The Chilterns is my cycling territory. It's beautiful at any time but the colours of the trees at this time of year in the Ashridge area are spectacular. The Daisychain cafe in ivinghoe is a lovely spot.
I can't get my head around you needing something substantial with a sausage roll in your pocket, I know what I would have done :D But a really great video and most importantly: Your mood is so infectious when you talk about how much you're enjoying it that it is honestly a big help. I haven't had a good day mentally and wasn't able to get outside at all today, so I am just vicariously loving your ride with you, it all helps a little bit :)
I don't know if I would still be smiling and bubbly after 200Km - you're awesome Amy!! 😁Setting small (ish) but realistic goals is the right way to go. That's how I have always organised my fitness and health goals - nothing too ambitious on it's own, but slotted into a bigger program every segment becomes vitally important to the success of the main goal whether it be weight-loss, or average speed, or a distance ride, or a time trial - whatever. You are truly an inspiration for riding long rides on your own, and by taking us along with you, you show many people that even rides which might seem really tough can be fun. btw, try to remember to take some "emergency" energy gels with you. If you miss your cafe stop, or feel your energy levels dropping earier than you thought they would you can slurf a gel or two, and that will keep you energised for a good stretch until you get to somewhere you can refuel properly. Keep the vids coming, I love them. Can't wait till the next one. TTFN.🚴♀
That looked like a great ride Amy, great effort doing it on your own with no windbreaking from Kyle😉I also love cycling on my own, you can do what you like and go at your own pace😊I had 2 awesome rides this week, 100 miles on Monday and 57 today and both in lovely sunshine😁 which doesn't happen often in Scotland😂10000ft of climbing between the 2 also so I got a good workout👍
Great video Amy. Shame we didn't know you was staying at the hotel, it's literally round the corner from where we live. And just seen you in the Chequers pub. Hope you managed to find the cycle cafe The Hub in Redbourn village Martin and Val
Another great video 👌. Just listening to your podcast Kyle is an absolute legend literally reminds me of a man you would want to have by your side in the trenches in WW1 unbelievable story great man great couple health and happiness to you both ☺️. Haven't been out on my bike in 4 weeks literally have no get up and go literally have no reason why breaking me but watching your vids give me bike guilt to get back out 😉. Love the channel keep ere lit folks 👍
I was wondering where the cafe was when you said Ivinghoe, it’s the old village school. I grew up in Ivinghoe, must have ridden up that hill to the Beacon and Ashridge scores of times. Lovely area to ride. Hope you enjoyed the weekend and I’m looking forward to the next vid.
Personal opinion warning!... videos are always much better when it's you guys just riding for the fun of it. So much better than the corporate events with a 20 min ride here and a dinner there etc
Agree that these are the videos that work best for you. But the recent podcast was quite remarkable and the jollies vids are just part of following you. That said, they have exposed Kyle to some odd criticism, in my opinion. People might have noticed that at the jollies most people were having a drink. Most of us have surely done the same? Maybe not but I'd have done the same Kyle. Anyway a nice relaxing vid I think, and watching you crush 128 miles with a smile on your face was pretty cool. Enjoy your weekend.
I think what would be really quite helpful, would be if you list everything you eat on a long ride, give us women a helpful insight to how much we need to eat? Which is generally more than we think! Just a thought.
Generally, cleats should be replaced after 3000 miles or so, or immediately if you see adverse wear or damage to them, or notice issues with shoe stability with the pedal. In most cases, especially with the best cleat brands, your cleats will come with wear indicators to help you decide when to change them.
Princess Malones...always such a hot package...she should be Paradise !!! and Duke Kyle looking in great shape...it seems The Duke has been sober at least for one full week !!! Go Duke Go !!!

Ahh thanks for watching glad I could bring a bit of happiness for you ☺️ I don’t like sausage rolls 😂
Love from India ❤
That’s my neck of the woods, yipeeeee 😊
nothing better than a solo ride!
@@CD-W0DOS couldn’t agree more 👍
True!
That pie looked amazing!
Kyle can confirm it was
@ although I’ve no seen someone eat a pie like that before, taking the top off and eating the filling like it’s in a bowl! 😂

Thanks so much! Great idea about the small goals 🙌 yes I defo need to make sure I’ve got more emergency snacks!

That’s awesome!! Well done ☺️
Such inspiration. Im hesitant to do 100km rides. gotta push myself harder I guess!
Go for it 🙌☺️

Martin and Val
Ahh that’s a shame!! Next time!
I’d be having 3 cafe stops on a 200k ride.
I'd be having 3 cafe stops on a 200k drive.
@@maidbloke 🤣🤣🤣👍
I have 10 pub stops on a 2k walk most weekends and still have no energy in the morning.
That's a cracking market stall ... you were either there on a Tuesday or a Friday
Friday ☺️
Well done Amy , you went through my home town Rugby, had I know I would have cheered you on.
Ahh thanks anyway! 😅
@@amy.cycling.adventures my home town too. Definitely would have given you a cheer!
Just came across your channel, fun videos! I use them to cheer / inspire me before heading out when it’s nasty weather. Haha thank you 😅
Ahh thanks for watching! That’s so great to hear ☺️ we’ve just come in from a cold wet ride 😂
your vlog is so interesting i love your energy . keep the rides coming
Thank you!! ☺️
7:23 What’s the monument behind you? You live in such a wonderful country. So much history.
That's at a place called Stowe Gardens. What you see there is the Corinthian Arch. Stowe School is there.
@ thank you for that info.
You do speak some wise calm words and and the way you said about taking things for granted.
Another great video 👌.

Ahh thanks so much!! Yes get that bike out and get pedalling 🙌🙌 enjoy ☺️
Great video Amy, yr such a joy to watch. ❤
Thank you so much!
Bravissima Amy, è sempre un piacere guardare i tuoi video ed ascoltare le tue considerazioni. Ciao. Marco
Thank you!
Preston Capes, one of my regular routes goes through that area south of Daventry. Some great roads round there.
Really lovely roads 😍
Am and Kyle : vitamins on wheels !!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤
I was wondering where the cafe was when you said Ivinghoe, it’s the old village school. I grew up in Ivinghoe, must have ridden up that hill to the Beacon and Ashridge scores of times. Lovely area to ride. Hope you enjoyed the weekend and I’m looking forward to the next vid.
Ahh yes that’s the one it’s soo nice around there ☺️
Loved this one Amy. I love watching the UK audaxes. 200k and you just thought you'd do an extra bit 😂
Ahh thank you and haha yes I didn’t want the ride to end 😂😂
Loved this video made me want to get outside on my bike! Do you
Have a link for the jacket you are cycling in ? Thank you xxx
Ahh that’s so great to hear 🙌☺️ ohh I don’t actually I got it in the end of season sale last year so I don’t think they do it anymore 🥹
Love your content
Ahh thanks so much ☺️
Another great video Amy🚴♀️
Glad you enjoyed it!
That flatbread looked awesome.
I love the cafe stops !
It was sooo good!
Amy have you used a Garmin varia, it connects to your Garmin and warns you of cars behind accelerating towards you I think before you can hear them
Ohh no I haven’t!
Nice one, heck of a solo ride. BTW, Kyles pie was nearly bigger than his cap, great cap tho'.
Haha yes he loved it!
Personal opinion warning!... videos are always much better when it's you guys just riding for the fun of it. So much better than the corporate events with a 20 min ride here and a dinner there etc
Thanks! Yes love my local rides but also not going to turn down fun experiences 😅🙌
Amy - you're a good egg for somehow _not_ sweating on Kyle's snacks!
😂😂
Papaya? Enjoyed the video thanks!
what size is your frame your bike looks amazing
It’s a tailfin one but it’s not out yet! 😅
7:21 near where I met Amy and Kyle cycling home from Italy ❤
Yes!!
Jullie zijn weer goed bezig super
Love ya Amy. your positive spirit. Can't wait to represent with my tee shirt 😊😊😊😊 PS a Anixiety LIFER my self @ 61
Ahh yay thank you!
Nice vid.
You need to check with with UA-cam why your subscribers numbers never change
You've not been doing a lot of Yippees recently what's going on. Need more please.
Haha they’ll make a return!
Don’t cut out the beers Kyle you are entertaining when you are tipsy!
😂😂

Yipeee
Did you pair like church farm cafe?😋😋
YES loved it!!
Think if the caff was further than I thought I would have ate Kyle’s sausage roll if I was you 😂
😂😂 I can’t eat them they’ve got dairy in the pastry 🤦♀️😂
I think what would be really quite helpful, would be if you list everything you eat on a long ride, give us women a helpful insight to how much we need to eat? Which is generally more than we think! Just a thought.
Good idea! I usually share things like that on my Instagram but I’ll try to add this to UA-cam too ☺️
I still don't understand how the heck Kyle manages to destroy his cleats so quickly. I know you both ride a _lot_ but something doesn't seem right. 🤔
Generally, cleats should be replaced after 3000 miles or so, or immediately if you see adverse wear or damage to them, or notice issues with shoe stability with the pedal. In most cases, especially with the best cleat brands, your cleats will come with wear indicators to help you decide when to change them.
@@redauwg911 indeed - I think it's pretty clear Kyle has never seen the wear indicator
Great cycling you don't need a car when you can cycle that far.
Princess Malones...always such a hot package...she should be Paradise !!! and Duke Kyle looking in great shape...it seems The Duke has been sober at least for one full week !!! Go Duke Go !!!
One bottle? Why? Makes no sense at all
Because I fill it up en route and I couldn’t find one at home that didn’t smell horrible 😂😂
