Hi Katie, well done you, all the praise is well deserved. I did the 225 and was also a bit emotional at the end as this was icing on the cake of my first year as a cyclist. Back in Tod now with Cragg Vale recovery ride. Take care , my see you with your New Jersey on...
Great ride. I did the 225 but got lost. Coming back next year fitter and stronger with a better sense of direction and I’ll do the 312! Thanks for the inspiration and the tears! Great to see you get emotional about it.
Congrats on your epic ride. Being an adopted LOCAL RIDER, its strange to me that you'd think it was cold 😂... You should had seen how bad and cold it was a week before! This year I did the 225 as it was the distance I was missing. Thanks for your video footage, it sure makes me happy when someone appreciates how beautiful the mountains are around here.
Fantastic Katie. I only managed the 167 as my left knee was giving me serious grief after about 90km. It was still agreat day out though. Weather was perfect
You have to be in shape to do these longish rides, you've come a long way!! I remember the rides some time back and now your crushing these long rides!!! But If You look back, you've done a ton of riding to get where you are physically and mentally becoming a great rider :-) :-) :-) :-) Let's face it, 312 is A LONG RIDE!!! Well done Katie!!
Yes thanks so much, I think people sometimes think I just naturally can do longer rides when in reality I have put in some sweat and hard work over the years. Anyone can do it if they put in the hours :) Thanks so much for the support x
Awesome, well done Katie on a magnificent achievement and video! You didn't look particularly tired even, perhaps the rib injury did you a favour in the end by controlling how much energy you expended in the days leading up to the main ride. Brilliant!
Yeah Alan I think it was exactly that, forced me to rest which actually did help me stay fresh for the event :) wouldn’t recommend it to others though.. 😂
Fantastic ride Katie, super well done👍 And you looked so fresh at the end!! Would you recommend the 312.... Like the idea of closed roads/great scenery and potentially good weather.....pros and cons...
Well done Katie. Was nice to meet you. Glad your rib held up. My diagnosis must have been correct after all 😉 We all finished the full route before the cutoff 😎 Brutal, but brilliant! See you next year?
Cameron!! Ahhh so good to meet you too. How was your wrist? Hope it held up for the descents :) Ahhhh yes it was mega wasn't it. Will definitely be in Mallorca next year :)
Hi Katie! We saw you at the base of Sa Colobra on the Monday after the 312 so you clearly recovered well :-) ...good video of the event, the last food station was intense and i certainly didnt take a beer!! Well done for completing it too, we are going to have another go but perhaps not next year....got the Marmotte to contend with :-) Ride on.
This reminds me why mass events aren't my thing. Penned up for an hours at stupid o'clock in the cold, crowds at feed stations (when I did ride London every station I stopped at had run out of food), bottle necks. I'd rather just ride the route another day 🤣
yeah that's why Audax is my preferred form - you get all the fun of the fayre without the silly o'clock starts. To be fair though when I did Paris Roubaix the other week it had an open start format, you could pick your number and RFID card up in the morning or the day before and start at any time you liked 0700-0900, and they had proper food at the shops not just the sports industry's latest horrid potions. Some events do it better than others I guess.
I love both and the thing I loved most about the 312 was the closed roads. It was incredible!! So much fun to be around so many riders. Some people like riding alone, others in groups. I love both :)
D'you fancy coming down to Cornwall for the Land's End 100 it's a great loop round Penwith really well organised and the locals properly go town at the feeding stations.
Impressive! I remember seeing one of your early vids in which you were telling that you were struggling with your power output, esp. uphill, but look at you now! 👍💪 👌
Which route did you complete Katie? The 312, 225, or the 167? I'm planning on doing the event in 2021 or if things don't improve 2022. Congratulations on completing.
I did this in 2018. the best cycling day of my life. the best holiday of my life. we also did the big daddy up the back bone of mallorca. all the drops. my 312 experience was to get lost near Arta and added 20 miles on as we went wrong way in the day and ended up doing 223 miles - as had to cycle back to porta polenca. i missed the beers and music at arta booo lol. covid permitting back april 2021
If you watch my preparation video the day before I showed everything I took to eat. The only extra was a handful of peanuts at the last stop. I wouldn’t normally eat nuts on a ride though
Just about to head into work, on a Monday morning! and you've managed to put me in a better mood, so thanks for that, haha. We'll done katie, this one has been a year + in the making, and i think this years jersey looks better than last!
Ahhh Dec have a great day at work and glad you enjoyed the video :) It has been a year in the making, you're right! Woop woop! I love both jerseys but do love the older one :) x
Would you ever consider doing the event again. Must ppl stop at the rest stations or do people ride threw them sometimes. You mentioned a timelimit how much time do people have to complete the 312 km. How bad are the hills?
This is one has your best 'on the bike' filiming! Not sure if you filmed differently? Btw. did you catch a sighting of Alberto Contador?! I am sure he would have liked to be in your video!
I was stood just at the side of you at the start and didn’t realise, if I’d have known I would have said Hi what a great day congrats Katie on completing the epic 312
no pain ?...its God intervention of course ! lol. It seems that you finally purchase the jersey ! And this, to me, is your best video. At least we saw a good chunk of the ride, and the finish line..and no slo-mo lol. Well done..Cheers from Montreal
Congratulations for your great ride,and thanks for the video and the fantastic report.

Ahhh wow that is impressive! Well done, maybe see you on Cragg in the summer :)
i did it that year and it was a shambles for me setting off 40 minutes late. Did it this year and thankfully completed it with plenty of time left
Great ride. I did the 225 but got lost. Coming back next year fitter and stronger with a better sense of direction and I’ll do the 312! Thanks for the inspiration and the tears! Great to see you get emotional about it.

I was there the week before and the weather was bad wasn’t it. Well done on 225!!! What an event!!!
I've ridden that mtn so many times with Dan(one of the GCN boys). Well done!
Ahhh it's a bloody beaut isn't it :)
Fantastic Katie. I only managed the 167 as my left knee was giving me serious grief after about 90km. It was still agreat day out though. Weather was perfect
Ahhh well done Andy, that is incredible. Nothing worse than knee pain during a ride so you did incredible riding the 167 :)

Fantastic ride! Well done! And what an amazing job editing as well. 👍👍👍
Thanks Todd and Jill x
Incredible Katie. Epic Ride, well done. You don't even look tired.
Many congratulations Katie - superb job. After all the pain and angst, no wonder you cried at the end.
Ahh thanks Andrew, I know I think I was just so grateful to finish in a good time :) Woohooooo!!!
Well done Katie, brilliant result!!
Wow. Well done, Katie, just epic. Bloody excellent! X
Fantastic ride Katie, super well done👍

Well done Katie, great effort. I only managed the 225. we were running out of time, food stations closing. But great day out 👍🚴♂️
That’s amazing well done,225km is an epic distance. Well done!

Well done Katie, an excellent ride and you enjoyed it! 👍
Well done that girl, I cant wait to do this in a year or two.
Congrats, what an awesome achievement. Would you be able to give us some info on what you ate and any tips? Thanks.
If you watch my preparation video the day before I showed everything I took to eat. The only extra was a handful of peanuts at the last stop. I wouldn’t normally eat nuts on a ride though
Awesome ride Katie, Chapeau
Well done Mrs! It is an emotional ride. Its a breath taking course! Hope you ate more then Cliff Bar and Jam lol
Just about to head into work, on a Monday morning! and you've managed to put me in a better mood, so thanks for that, haha.
We'll done katie, this one has been a year + in the making, and i think this years jersey looks better than last!

So awesome! Glad your back/rib injury improved. Good on you for completing 312km :)
Congratulations Katie on completing the 312 🎉🥂
I came in just a few minutes before you, so we may well have caught a fleeting glimpse of each other. Great ride, great video. Well done!
Well done to you too!! Epic day out 👌🏼☀️
Would you ever consider doing the event again. Must ppl stop at the rest stations or do people ride threw them sometimes. You mentioned a timelimit how much time do people have to complete the 312 km. How bad are the hills?
I would do it again for sure :)
The hills are long and steady nothing mega steep :)
@@KatieKookaburra did u Do 312 Distanzen or shorter .April 30th 2022 yaaaa
Wow great ride. Loved it💚 congrats. Which cleats did you use?

Yay! Well done Katie, a great achievement anyway, but to do it whilst injured as well. Chapeau!
You should be proud! Well done. U r an inspiration!
Thanks so much Lance :)
I understand your pain, no one can know until it happens to them. I BRUISED my lung and ribs. It sucks.
Firstly well done Katie, where you doing the ride solo? if so really well done, long ride on your todd.
Yeah on my own but you do keep catching up to other groups :)
@@KatieKookaburra yeah nice camaraderie on the rides. Would you do it again and what would you do different?
I wouldn't change anything - went really well :)
Well done! Jersey well deserved!!!
Nothing like proudly standing and saying,"I did this under my own power! Thank you very much!"
Chapeau Katie 312., been there got the t shirt no you haven't though ;-) or did you find your size? haha, seriously though that looked amazing Katie.
Hahah nooooope no sizes left for me. Ahhh well it's just a jersey :) I loved the ride so much - absolutely epic!
@@KatieKookaburra Have you tried getting one from their website?
Well done - you did it!!! 💪😍 And you're wearing the jersey! I thought you couldn't find your size earlier?! 😃
Cheers Rob, no this is the current year's jersey but I LOVED last year's even more!
This is one has your best 'on the bike' filiming! Not sure if you filmed differently? Btw. did you catch a sighting of Alberto Contador?! I am sure he would have liked to be in your video!
Ahhh really? So glad you liked it 😍😍😍 makes me happy you enjoyed it. What was it specifically? I can then try and do more of it
You did do it ! That effort,hard not to be proud of =D Cheers Katie !
