    Hi ‘guys’
    Came across your video several weeks ago about thoughts of cycling around the world.
    Just seen your latest video and I’ve subscribed to see how you both get on re your exciting adventure.
    I went off to cycle around the world, at the young age of 63. Sadly it came to a stop after 3 years in Japan due to Covid.
    I was just unable to continue on my adventure as all countries had shut down there borders.
    I just want to say, you’ll have a fabulous experience, which for me was humbling and a wow experience.
    Enjoy the adventure.

      Hi Steve :) Thank you and really glad you've subscribed to come on the big trip. We too attempted to cycle around the world before on a trip that was cut short by covid, though in the French alps so not as far as you got.
      What an amazing adventure to have at 63! Even though you had to cut it shorter than you planned, I bet it was an amazing 3 years exploring on the bike. Thank you so much for your support 🚲

    Today was my first day at my new job. And it was a very good day. As if God actually listened to my prayer this morning, He blessed me again by letting me view your video when I got home. I ate my ham and potatoes dinner while watching your video. Today was a great day. Thank you for all your work and your videos! Love each one!

    Wow! Knowing that 3 halves is more than a whole, I´m still trying to find out the meaning of the title.
    The intimate acting you both do, as if there was no camera, the storytelling and the great videography is like a lighthouse among the most often sad and underexposed storries about bike-packing in winter.
    As Scotland is already on my list, I truely enjoyed it to get new food for thought.
    As your latest suscriber, I am looking forward to check out your other videos here

  • @andrewbaines2593
    @andrewbaines2593 10 месяцев назад

    Another great video. Just two things that I would like to ask of you.
    1. Please make sure that you stay safe at all times and don't put yourselves at risk just to make social media content.
    2. Please don't feel guilty for staying in somewhere solid with modern conveniences. No one expects you to sleep under canvas all the time on your trips. If your trips can be made easier by staying in B&B's , lodges, chalets, etc then do it. It is nice to see the pleasure in your trips, but for the viewer to see that, the trip has to be pleasurable for you both. Youth is fleeting but the aches and pains that develop will stay with you for the rest of your life. It is ok to be kind to yourselves.....we're not here to judge you....just here to share the ride

    Really enjoying your videos :) me and my partner have done most of our bikepacking abroad but just spent every day in rain (except for two) for the last three weeks in the Highlands. Camping for so long in the rain can get us quite weary and your video given a boost. Such lovely shots and i appreciate the lack of music and just natural sounds ❤

    • @joshandsarahride
      @joshandsarahride  3 месяца назад

      Thanks so much :) Yes camping in constant rain can be pretty demoralizing. It can also mean you have soggy gear. We've found mixing things up with a stop in a cafe for a tea to warm up can really help. Really glad you enjoy the videos, thanks for your support!

    Dear Josh and Sarah, each one of your videos is a delight and I'm so happy I've found you! Your energy is both peaceful and spontaneous, which seems to also reflect in the way you understand cycling: as an adventure and a way to connect to nature/landscape in a mindful way. I'm not really a "sportsman", I use zero special equipment, but riding a bike is a lovely and joyful way to stay in a daily touch with forests, ponds and meadows around my hometown and a good long ride with some tea packed while your books and candles and an armchair are waiting for you at home, that's what makes me happy:) As your stories, routines and trips do! Much love!

    • @joshandsarahride
      @joshandsarahride  10 месяцев назад

  • @curryconsult
    @curryconsult 10 месяцев назад

    Although not a cyclist, I love your videos. I’ve tried several times over the years but I’ve always ended up with motorcycles. I was thinking about the comments you received about not being able to survive in your current cottage without a car. You’ve proved them wrong, but at quite a cost. Have you given any thought to e-bikes? You can go as slow as you want, just as many places as a pedal bike, but with much less stress, so you can concentrate on all the nature around you. Obviously not for long distance, multi day trips, but… Just a thought.

    • @joshandsarahride
      @joshandsarahride  9 месяцев назад

      Really glad you like the videos 😁 e bikes would be nice but they're pretty costly. Plus we would have to charge them which wouldn't always work with our type of trips we do. Luckily our thighs are up to the challenge for now 🚲😁

    I have a worry though, I really think Sarah needs a brightly coloured waterproof jacket as she is often in all black and not visible which is ok off road but on the small lanes she blends in too much !

    • @joshandsarahride
      @joshandsarahride  10 месяцев назад

      Really glad to take you along 🚲 this is a new jacket actually, and my first time testing it. I usually have a blue one which is a bit more visible. We do have high vis jackets too for when it's dark and of course lights. As you say on roads you have to be a lot more wary than off road

    I live in Prestwick, I've cycled this ayrshire coastal path too many times to count but in these winds it's only fun if you are up for flying (literally been lifted up a few times by the gusts), so happy to see you guys come (although please come when we have better weather!) Dunure is one of my favourite spots, Trump's Turnberry estate feels dystopian in the area it's definitely not a tourist spot, going down to Galloway oh my heart

    • @joshandsarahride

    I started my bikepacking journey here in the spring / summer of 1984 across Europe. It was an amazing journey that ended with the worst hail storm in the history of Europe. Look up the 1984 Munich, Germany hail storm... it killed so many people and destroyed so much property! The most costly storm in history of humanity until hurricane Katrina. Yeppers, I was there on my bicycle!!

      This was a totally surreal experience... like it was the end of the world. Fortunately, it happened at the end of the day. I had already checked into a hotel in Munich. I was at a beer garden enjoying a brew when I looked up and saw this massive storm moving in. Really, really dark clouds with lightening flashing like a strobe light and the ongoing sound of thunder non-stop. I realized that I needed to get back to the hotel when the massive hail stones began to fall and destroy everything. Thankfully I made it back to the hotel without injury. Next morning Munich was a disaster zone! Rooftops were destroyed, vehicles were destroyed, trains, buses, airplanes were destroyed. Even the statues in the park had been heavily damaged by this storm!

    I’d love to know how many miles your bikes have done in total. Have you had them from New. Fantastic video as always.

      Ah I would too. No we brought them second hand and they'd already had their fair share of adventures. They're Trolls from Surly who make quality bikes made to travel many many miles

      I bet they have done some crazy millage. Yeah I’ve been told there good solid bikes. Been meaning to ask what camping stove do you use ? I’m sick of my gas one that blows out all time with wind.

    Really enjoyed the film, many thanks! You might be interested in the film about the Culzean Way on my channel, as you experienced the heavy traffic first-hand if ending up on the wrong roads. It was nice to watch this and see many familiar locations again, a joy to watch!
