Amy, I enjoy your high quality fun videos, your enthusiasm is contagious. Riding a Pinarello must be nice. At age 69 I am still doing 100 milers but on an entry level mountain bike and about 90 minutes slower than you. I know that you are a highly skilled rider, please be careful in intersections and especially when traveling over metal surfaces when your tires (tyres) are wet. My wife and I live in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and love your videos even though we don’t always understand what you are saying. Please be safe!
Ben, yes it is very dangerous. In 2014 I was struck by a car breaking my left arm in half requiring surgery. I also had a concussion and other injuries. Last year my neighbor was riding with me and his hat blew off while going down a hill at 30 MPH. He turned to look for it and became unstable crashing into the pavement. He always refused to wear a helmet. He was 79 years old and received multiple injuries. He was treated at Allegheny General Hospital and was put on a ventilator. He died after 22 days. So, I primarily ride on trails like the Three Rivers Heritage Trail or the Great Allegheny Passage, the Panhandle Trail, Montour Trail and rail trails in neighboring states. I ride about 3000 miles a season, as of yesterday at I am at 627. I escort groups of U.S. military veterans every month from April to October every year as well always on safe trails. Thanks so much for the email. Leo McCarthy@@BenjaminStone-s9c
Glad to have 165mm cranks on my bike. Spinning is a little easier, it's minimized hip impingement at top of the pedal stroke, and it's easier to keep a lower frontal position.
You make a great team you and Kyle, my stomach goes when Kyle whips off down them hills, that takes guts to do, the ride looked so nice too, I wish I could cycle the distance you both do without feeling nauseous and stomach pain, you both made me laugh when you was deciding who was carrying the jacket and your trying to bribe Kyle with food 🤣 but that’s what it’s all about great content we all love to watch 😊😊
Hi Amy, great video as usual. I really admire your gutsy enthusiasm. However, I tense slightly every time you ride over a cattle grid at speed. Last year I was riding through the Forest of Bowland and I rattled across a cattle grid at a frightening rate of knots. My rear wheel punctured and shredded. It was the end of my ride and I had to walk for miles, across the windswept moors to reach a landline because there was no mobile phone signal. Anyway, I made it, and got a cab, but the entire experience was horrible. Now, when I ride over a cattle grid, I am a tad more careful. Be safe you're not in a race!
Before I had my e bike I always took on the headwinds on the way out to have the wind at my back on the way home, now I do it the opposite way most of the time😂I had pretty much the same conditions for my ride today so I made the most of it with 106.7 miles and 7396ft of climbing! My ride was very similar to yours😉Days like this are so good for lifting your spirits👍I think your spirits were stratospheric on that one, amazing ride by you both😊
There are so many beautiful places to ride over there. You are blessed! However, it pains me to watch the cold weather on every ride. 😂 We’ve been riding mid-70’s weather for weeks and I couldn’t imagine riding in all that cold. Obviously, y’all are used to it and I am not.
That flan looked amazing, whenever we go riding in France I spend the week searching for the greatest flan and now I know Denstone do some I'm going to have to swing by asap!
Another stunning ride, thanks for sharing this one, it’s a real uplifted. Can’t believe you persuaded Kyle to carry your coat.😅 He is an absolute legend.
Fab video (they all are) I used to work in Sheffield and ride to Chatsworth, the countryside is awesome obviously better in the sunshine and no wind. Looking forward to your next epic adventure. Sugar Rush Kyle is funny..
That is a great coffee shop, on the Monsal Trail from memory up the hill at the top of Bakewell? :) I am so jealous the roads you have around there to ride!
a) Egg custards are by far the best cake treat, there's nothing better! b) Fantastic scenery! All of it - and I got to know some of it for the first time a month ago after Dan of UK Bike Fit recommended it - Hassop Station cafe is a great stop in a glorious area c) Sorry, couldn't help laughing at you talking about Kyle's package; no, not that one
Great decision to go down to 165s. It'll take a few hundred milonies to get used to them, and you'll probably find your cadence will increase slightly. Your knees will love you for this change tho.
Wait, the SUN was out the entire video! I wish I could stop at Cafe's on my rides like ya'll do. My belly would scream at me the entire ride if I did that. Gels, bars and bone broth for me.
How have those cadence training drills been going Amy?😂🤦♂️ Equivalent of driving your car round in 5th gear up hills. Gotta keep working on it. It will make you more efficient and save energy long-term
Wind... this has been the windiest winter/ spring I can remember and ive been pedalling eons... I have come to the conclusion, that if there is a man above, he loves wind surfers, paragliders , kite enthusiasts, yachtsmen but has a particular dislike of cyclists...😂
You may like to know, and I am 60 and have only just found out, you are peeling your 🍌 from the wrong end😲I did not believe, researched and it appears correct. However I refuse to change what I have done for years. Love the videos.
Strange how at the end of the video when Kyle wanted to talk about his watts you shut him down by saying that you didn’t want to turn into a rider that gets obsessed with watts even though you’d said earlier on in the video that you’d averaged 240 watts for the first four hours of the ride.🤨 #doublestandards
It was just a joke 😅 I was proud of him, I just don’t want to get obsessed with numbers, although there’s time for me to yet if Kyle has an influence 😂
Did you say you are running 165mm cranks, and that that is the correct size for the bike???? NOT SO SURE! There seems to be a fad going on at the moment about crank length, and no doubt the bods at Pinnerello have filled you up with all the stats and black magic. I think you are riding too small a crank for your size of bike and your leg length. This probably why you are finding it harder to keep up with Kyle. You will probably have noticed that the smaller crank tends to throw your weight forward and forces you lower over your bars. You'll also have noticed that you feel there just isn't enough pedal platform to stand on and stabilise you, when you are out of the saddle. Yes it will help you spin, and you will find that you are on your pedals a lot quicker with mire response when you come out of slow junctions, BUT, efficiently power output is about more than spinning. YOU NEED TO BE ON 170MM..
I really love the videos, but all honestly taking up cycling seems to me like a really expensive sport judging by the some of the been ridden and some of the trendy cycling gear which most cyclists would have to pay for out of their pocket!
Cycling is a really expensive sport, to buy a decent bike and clothing in order to be able to look the part, it is ok for some people who can get it all for free.

Great effort I’m 65 attempting my first 100 this weekend
Hey! I am in Pittsburgh too (originally from Reading, UK) and you are brave to be riding around the city....Pittsburgh is bloody dangerous!

When I saw you were heading down into Hathersage I was sure you would head for a climb up either Mam Nick, Winnatts Pass or Sir William Hill!
'not that package' love it, and love the use of the English Language.
Your adorable mom + the little one who did the face plant in the grass at 18:30 were the stars of the video
I noticed the little one doing a face plant outside 😂
I had to watch again to see the little one! LOL
🤣😆 Haha, that's great: I missed that face plant! I was looking at the size of the smoothie - quite a big 'un
Went to the Leek / Flash area that you recently filmed in last week. Even bigger respect to you guys for the terrain you cycle in and melonies you do!
You two are like a power couple I couldn't cycle for that long, you would leave me wayyy behind. Love your videos.
Glad to have 165mm cranks on my bike. Spinning is a little easier, it's minimized hip impingement at top of the pedal stroke, and it's easier to keep a lower frontal position.

When I switched to 165mm cranks I ended up having to raise my saddle and lower the front end (both just slightly) to adapt my position.
Hi Amy, great video as usual. I really admire your gutsy enthusiasm. However, I tense slightly every time you ride over a cattle grid at speed.

1:22 that landscape shot is very nice
Might be the first time I have seen you guys riding in sunny weather and not rain. Looked like an awesome ride
Amy and Kyle, great video with lovely scenery. Thank you for sharing.
Greeting from South Texas you two ! Love your channel guys . Always good stuff . 🚴🏼✌️
Loving your spirit for cycling, just what it’s all about, inspirational!!!
There are so many beautiful places to ride over there. You are blessed! However, it pains me to watch the cold weather on every ride. 😂 We’ve been riding mid-70’s weather for weeks and I couldn’t imagine riding in all that cold. Obviously, y’all are used to it and I am not.
Great to see you two enjoying a ride so much in the sun .
Very nice red today and plenty of food, a bit hile and windy 🐑🐑 but a lovely day.
That flan looked amazing, whenever we go riding in France I spend the week searching for the greatest flan and now I know Denstone do some I'm going to have to swing by asap!
Looks like a great ride! Here’s to hoping we have more nice weather so fed up of rain now 😂🫣
Wow 100 miles! Did my first ever 50 miler this weekend couldn't have done double!
Really love your part of the country another great video 😊
Beautiful ride on bikes Amy lovely weather.
Happy Easter! Nice to see you get in a ride in the sun!
Another brilliant video Amy , love how much Kyle loves his breakfast !! A man after my own heart 😜🚵🙌
Love Kyle’s new jacket!
every time i hear you make that funny sound crossing the cattle grates i laugh it's so funny LOL
Did you change your saddle height as well as changing your crank length?
Another stunning ride, thanks for sharing this one, it’s a real uplifted. Can’t believe you persuaded Kyle to carry your coat.😅 He is an absolute legend.
Fab video (they all are) I used to work in Sheffield and ride to Chatsworth, the countryside is awesome obviously better in the sunshine and no wind. Looking forward to your next epic adventure. Sugar Rush Kyle is funny..
Superb ride and scenery and love our you your is so at ease being on camera. You and Kyle make such good videos 🚴🏼♀️🚴🏻♂️🙌
Awesome lovely outside views and a great ride also ❤🎉
Brilliant day out for you and Kyle on this one Amy? Looked a brilliant route and it was great to see the sunshine 👍
Greetings from under the Finnish snow. Molteni kit👍
Hello Amy,
Looked like a lovely bike ride... although a bit windy... I'm a fan of 165 cranks, did you notice a difference?
Take care.
Paul,,
Lovely country plenty of fresh air.😎
What?! No video of your dad’s 80’s tribute band? Would’ve loved to see a snippet of that.
Derbyshire at its finest 😊
Mum has the proper Cornish scone protocol
Beautiful countryside, thanks!
video request - long sofa chat about your progress so far, cycling, and youtube!
thanks for making me smile today...
Definitely NEED to know which 80s tribute band Amy's dad is in!! 🤩🤩
Beautiful Big Sky Country. Since you ride the Pinnie on longer rides, have you considered your new Gravel for any longer distances?
Your enthusiasm is 100% and lmaoo @ Kyle's package keep um coming amy 👍🚴🚴👍
Haha thanks!! Will do 🫶
Great jacket Kyle!
Kyle is loaded up like a pack mule! (5:00)
Another awesome ride. Chapeau!!
You guys are so amazingly strong. I wish I could do that
That is a great coffee shop, on the Monsal Trail from memory up the hill at the top of Bakewell? :) I am so jealous the roads you have around there to ride!
Ohh yes I know the one!! Very nice!!
The wind has been crazy these past few weekends haven't they! Aaah well, resistance training for us all :D
Oof looking at those Ilam climbs, struggled with those yesterday - on my blooming gravel bike with MTB tyres on - oops!!
Happy Easter Amy he has risen and made this day Great and brings so much light to our lives. May you have a great blessed day Amy 😊
That looked like a great ride 😊
a) Egg custards are by far the best cake treat, there's nothing better!
b) Fantastic scenery! All of it - and I got to know some of it for the first time a month ago after Dan of UK Bike Fit recommended it - Hassop Station cafe is a great stop in a glorious area
c) Sorry, couldn't help laughing at you talking about Kyle's package; no, not that one
Haha I do love egg custards! 😍😍 yes love that cafe too!
240w for 4 hours. That’s 40w over your Lab Test LT2.. I think you need to re do your lab test to re set your zones.
Great decision to go down to 165s. It'll take a few hundred milonies to get used to them, and you'll probably find your cadence will increase slightly. Your knees will love you for this change tho.
Kyle is a champion 😄
Wait, the SUN was out the entire video! I wish I could stop at Cafe's on my rides like ya'll do. My belly would scream at me the entire ride if I did that. Gels, bars and bone broth for me.

Great scenery there, do you ever take your helmets off 😂😂
Wow ..beautiful 👌
He's a right Whipper Snapper"...🤣
Happy Easter Amy, yr a machine, would love to attempt a century 😅
❤
your avg power was 229 W, what a beast, watch out MVDP
What Instrument does your Dad play Amy??
The heights of Abraham Bakewell tarts all that 👍
Poor Kyle. 😂.
You guys do that like nothing. Most I’ve done is 71 miles in pssing rain. 😂 my goal is a flat 100 sportive this year. 👍🏻
Haha! That’s still a great achievement!! Good luck for your 100 miler you’ll smash it!
Wind... this has been the windiest winter/ spring I can remember and ive been pedalling eons... I have come to the conclusion, that if there is a man above, he loves wind surfers, paragliders , kite enthusiasts, yachtsmen but has a particular dislike of cyclists...😂
Well I learned something new today. There are people in this world who don't like mushrooms ...! How can that even be a thing ???!!!
Personally, I would rather deal with cold weather than headwinds.
4:56...Kyle's pockets...dude? what are you carrying?
Ого, в Англии есть солнце😊☀️
You rapscallion! 😂
You may like to know, and I am 60 and have only just found out, you are peeling your 🍌 from the wrong end😲I did not believe, researched and it appears correct. However I refuse to change what I have done for years. Love the videos.
Can't help wondering how the hell you manage to film while descending so fast, let alone staying safe on the bike !
I have a go-pro under my garmin mount on the bike ☺️
You never said that your dad was Simon Le Bon 😂
What's a watt?
You should have filmed your Dad's gig.
Amy Malones&Bakery Joe...He did even a bit of "Prostate Suicide" with all that junk food...
Strange how at the end of the video when Kyle wanted to talk about his watts you shut him down by saying that you didn’t want to turn into a rider that gets obsessed with watts even though you’d said earlier on in the video that you’d averaged 240 watts for the first four hours of the ride.🤨
#doublestandards
It was just a joke 😅 I was proud of him, I just don’t want to get obsessed with numbers, although there’s time for me to yet if Kyle has an influence 😂
Good luck at Paris-roubaix this weekend hope everything goes well 👍

Cycling is a really expensive sport, to buy a decent bike and clothing in order to be able to look the part, it is ok for some people who can get it all for free.
Just 5 miles a day is all you need for cardio, she is pretty much a pro cyclist with sponsors same with any athlete.
