Brilliant Vid & Achievement. I'm 59 and got Chronic Tendonitis etc so watching these vlogs is a Godsend for me. Most I've Cycled in a day is 60 miles, but reckon I've Cycled 250,000 in my Life
Wow, amazing journey! Thank you for sharing all of this and for your sweet nature and care of the planet and your wonderful photography and editing skills!
Great achievement, journey and film. Well done to you both. Really enjoyed following you through this at the time on Instagram so to see it as a film is great. You should do more of your journeys. You two are inspiring and fantastic.
Just managed to watch the whole trip as I have to applaud you both for being absolute loons to take this on and achieve the goals you’d set! I know it’s a while ago but we’ll done and what an achievement! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Ill start my adventure in may and will cycle from the swiss mountains to the shetlands with a big curve trough the uk... your video just motivated me even more and it is honestly one of the best i ever saw on youtube. Thanks you guys.
Wow! That sounds like one amazing ride. Do you know the route you'll take through the UK? Thanks - really means a lot. Is nice knowing our ride can help inspire others! Let us know if we can help you with any UK ride planning 😀
Sure thing. What have you made the route on? If it's something like Ride With GPS then you can just post the link for that. Or you can just send the GPX to our email joshandsarah@veggievagabonds.com :)
Amazing, incredible trip and great to see the cycling in the rest of the UK, and a little bit of our home town and local trails. Fantastic effort, brilliant story 😁👍
with the wild camping, how do u handle toiletries? Did u use special fast biodegradable toilet paper and shovel to bury the deed? Have been wanting to try wild camping, but this is almost my only concern left other than getting cookset and other tools. Thanks for any advice
Hey! We have a little Poop bag which has Toilet roll, a mini shovel, biodegradable poo bags and hand sanitiser. Dig hole, poo in hole, cover hole, put tissues in bag and take with you 🙂 Fire away any other questions you might have!
Wonderful and amazing thank you! My areas are Dartmoor, Exmoor Quantocks and Blackdowns and they're hilly challenges. Was water ever an issue for you? What typical weights were your kit and bikes? What total height did you climb? Anything you would do differently or change on the bikes?
A really beautiful part of the UK. Really enjoyed the cycling there. Umm, not particularly on this trip. Sticking to roads, it was never that remote and we were covering enough ground to go past water at least a few times a day. It was also pretty mild for the most part. Ha, things we'd change.. there are SO many places we wished we had more time to explore. All of Scotland, Wales and South West really. Could easily have made it a 6 month trip!
I loved your story a lot. After riding the 2007 PBP in constant rain the whole 89 hours, I had a massive saddle sore that needed lancing after my return to the US. PAINFUL! What a brilliant ride. Would you be willing to share the track? This would be my 2003 summer trip. Thanks, and happy trails!
Hey Ferdinand, thanks!! What's the PBP? Can't imagine how painful it must have been. Very fortunate that I've (J) never got it too bad. Must have been fun for the surgeon too. Sure, I've added the rough route to the bio. If you're planning something similar, definitely reach out and we can share some tips! Happy rides
For women long distance riders; use a pantyliner in your bike shorts and there is a product called "Bag Balm" (some farmers use this on the teets of their cows to prevent chafing and soreness when being milked). Place substance in upper groin area in order to prevent saddle sores. Lots of LIFE lessons in Long Distance Bike Touring; I love it and have been wanting to do one since 2016 (family/financial interruptions).
Hi Tracey, thanks for the advice. In terms of the pantyliner, does it not get a bit misplaced after a day in the saddle? I've found the right-fitting cycle shorts have really helped, there a bit more of an investment but worth it. Have never heard of "Bag Balm", will check it out. I've been using Assos cream which again is amazing. I hope you can get in some touring soon, have you got a route or trip planning in the pipeline?
@@joshandsarahride Panty liners should be changed daily (as they are throw aways) and are there for more in the purpose of hygenic reasons for the bike shorts and woman rider. It also could lead to less laundry costs. (having to wash bike shorts less often).
@@StarEssences yes I can see the benefits when it comes to less laundry, a plus for multi-day trips. I try to avoid any extra materials apart from shorts to avoid chaffing and bunching though.
Wance u get that IRN BRU Doon ye theres nae stoppin eh🤣🤣,brilliant video👍🏽,we will hopefully b cyclin John ogroats to lands end this year so hopefully 🤞🏽, we Diny video it coz husband swears in ma videos lol,🏴🏴
Hahaha, yes, definitely the power drink! Thanks so much Tracey and awesome ride planned. Dya know which route you'll be taking? Ha, no problem about the swearing. There's quite a lot in ours too...
watched a couple of your vids getting set up in the cottage, so came back to investigate vids before. Was enjoying but there was too much unnecessary swearing, you could have bleeped out the F words. Clicked away in the end. Hey Ho.
Absolutely loved it and you guys are legends!!! Alex and I just finished watching it - wow what an adventure!!
Thanks Anna. Have really appreciated all your motivation and encouragement over these months :D

Well done! What a great trip, even with all the ups and downs you made it...such a great accomplishment 😊
I guess it's all the ups and downs that make it so memorable. Thanks for the nice message Janice!
An incredible journey - worth writing a book for sure...!!! (Martin)
Perhaps one day! Lots of stories we couldn't fit in without the video getting far too long. Book is a good solution
Great video!! Really liked it!
Thanks bud :D
Amazing well done and great video inspiring 👌🚴♂️🚴♂️
Thank you Peter. Was an incredible experience!

Smashed it
Well done guys what an adventure ..that’s living ... which town did you start at 👍🏻👍🏻🚴🚴
Really appreciated Coops. Definitely living! We started and finished in Skipton. Always a nice place to come back to.
@@joshandsarahride nice place Skipton ..I,m a Leeds lad but live in Scotland now ..looking forward to your next adventure 👍🏻
Cracking adventure, ps, Wales is a bugger to adventure across 😂
Haha, for sure. Definitely worth it though!!!
@@joshandsarahride absolutely
Sorry, but what were the dates of your adventure? Start? Finish?
Started last few days of August. I got back first week of October.

I had an awful saddle sore recently, like the size of a tennis ball down there, I can only sympathise...
Can only imagine how painful it was. It's definitely a 'if you know, you know' kind of pain!

Hey Tanya! Glad you found us. These were the first videos we made and have learned a lot since then. I agree, would have been better to beep them out.
That was such a dumb move to forget your waterproof, an avoidable mistake that caused you both such big trouble.
Yep wasn't intentional but I think in the flurry of saying goodbye to our hosts it was overlooked. whoops!
No cycling paths.. How stupid this country is compared to Holland.
England does have some cycling path, but pittyful compared to Holland 🚲
Sorry to say, but we stopped this one half way through, due to the ever increasing bad language. Definite thumbs down.
Sorry about that, this is one of our earlier videos and we make sure not to swear so much now.
@@joshandsarahride Thanks for your reassurance. I'll re-subscribe to you again.
