    Wow - the locals really do come out and cheer you on! How lovely to bring out water and snacks. I doubt that'd happen in the UK 😕 Really loving this journey - followed you on Insta as it happened but love the commentary and seeing the views, the checkpoints etc. What a buzz - and with so many people getting more and more tired you get a sense of the camaraderie. Brilliant!! Well done you two - what a team!

    Hi Amy I'm a doctor and just a bit of advice. Next time you're on a very long ride and your period is due, get some mefenamic acid tablets from your GP which help with stomach cramps aka period pains or ask him/her to postpone your period with norethisterone. Well done you and Kyle on finishing PBP. I am hoping to do it in 2027.

    3:43 Safa Brian? Did you forget the sunscreen? You're tomato red hahaha. 600km in a day is SICK. That's amazing. Furthest I rode solo is 100km and that took me 7 hours cuz I bonked at around 80km in the 108F heat and had to stop to de-cramp and find ice/beach showers to cool down. 27C ain't bad at all!
    edit: Shoulda kept watching the video! That's so cute that people give out stuff. So nice. What a trip.

I was in the same starting Block Y than you and finished only 2 hours after you. So, essentially I had the same phantastic views along the route, shared the same hospitality by the French people in the country side and so on. One of my own next big goals will be London-Edinburgh-London in 2 years. So by chance might see you and Kyle there. Please stay safe. Best regards from Germany, Jürgen

    Think you did really well. Don’t beat yourself up. Gravel rides are soo different than road. I remember when I started I constantly thinking I was going to fall off while still clipped in and injure myself. It just needs practice slow n steady you will get better with practice. It’s a confidence thing as well. Keep up the great videos also big congratulations on your book.

  • @1ytt742
    @1ytt742 Год назад +1

    PBP about a month after a 24hr and having period pains. I'm not surprised you weren't at your best. But you were easily good enough and looked like you had a more comfortable ride than most. Well done to Kyle as well. Going from beginner to riding PBP in the time he did is very good and I doubt many could do that. Changing saddles close to PBP could have been very bad but might possibly have made things better.
    I agree about the cost of food at controls. But at least it helped me lose some fat, so I am not complaining that much...

Having the support of the locals just adds to the experience. Look forward to seeing how you get on, but just qualifying for the PBP is impressive. Great job. 👍

The yippees are superb and I admire your husband for being able to accept all the noise you make on a ride for at least 600km (I await part 2) - what an unsung hero. I dnf'd in 2007 and I completed PBP in 2011. Positive mental attitude is 99% of the deal in events like PBp All things being equal - fitness, bike fit, and weather, it all comes down to mental attitude. Weather one can never control but I see from other vids that you are ok with fitness and bike fit. Really nice to watch - for various reasons I had no plans to do PBP again but maybe I will have to look at this again. 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈
