I'm just getting back into cycling, I was doing really well until my best friend of 18 years got seriously ill with her mental health. I soon realised she needed me so I looked after her for 2 years, unfortunately I lost her to suicide last March. I'm building up to do a memorial ride with my husband in a couple of weeks. I joined a cycling club, but didn't enjoy cycling side by side tbh, I'd like to live out Derby way then I could cycle with you guys. Keep up the good work Amy ❤
I don't have the words to express the admiration for you for supporting a friend in that situation, sending what love a message on you tube can convey Riding in clubs is not for everyone, but with the right group of people it can be really supportive and liberating!
I’m so sorry to hear what you’ve been through, massive good luck for your memorial ride 🤍 I hope it goes well & if you’re ever in the area you’re welcome to join a ride
Great group of lovely humans Amy - loading up the positive female energy and support well done mate. I love the honesty the girls brought, as it will help and inspire others when they see people being authentic Cassie is a cutie, and she almost made me cry too. Lots of respect to all the ladies. The food looked very tasty. Kyle going with the full power load up LOL. TTFN to ya Amy and lets make every day women's day you are half of the human population for heaven's sake.
A surprising honest and revealing insight into the human experience for the reasons to take up cycling as a release to the mental pressures of everyday life, (for both women and men). Quite inspirational. Luckily Kyle can always be guaranteed to provide a bit of levity. You two are an inspiration and also a great team. Keep it up. Kind regards.
You need those exact mudguards that Cath has for _your_ new bike! They're the "SKS Raceblade Pro XL" model. They fit everything & they work pretty well.
Its very interesting hearing this and a lot kf the points liek the traffic i resonated with. I cant think of anything else to add to this but happy womens day the more women in the sport and everything the better there are some amazing brilliant intelligent women out there in all sports and fields of study... And as always another great video
Forgive me for not checking, is there "hill dance" merch ? There should be! I fancy a freeze frame graphic, some sort of illustration that captures a line of ladies jumping at the same time and freezing them in midair. That sounds fun.
Great video, but oh, that food!! It looked completely scrummy! A simple poached egg 🍳 on toast can be glorious, I'm a big fan of them, but the version with avocado 🥑 and bacon 🥓 really got me salivating! Blimey, I'm hungry now
Hiya! Best place to look is my strava - link in my profile, it all depends on the amount of hills, whether it's social or not, wind direction ☺️ I think on this ride we did around 38 miles and averaged 16-17mph
I’m interested in your discussion on the barriers. I have cycled for years but 3 years ago I suffered a stroke and I had a knee replacement last year and my second knee replacement 2 weeks ago. I am now super slow but still highly motivated. Obviously I’m not fit enough to cycle outside till I recover from my second knee operation but I have found that since my stroke my confidence as well as my speed has been so low that I cycle solo always. I would love to cycle in a group but don’t know how this would be possible as I feel I would just be holding others up. It’s hard when your health becomes a barrier like this.
I hope it didn't stop you, there's always somebody in a group that's happy to go slow and short for the day. Hope you kept at it and have made a full recovery now.
2:41 Long Lane is a killer behind that Grangefields sign. Now I know why all cyclists were going the other way to me! And International Men's Day is on 19th November. Who picked that cold day?
Cycling has gotten ridiculous expensive. In 2011 I bought 6 months old Cervelo S1 which had been ridden only few times (triathlon training bike) with Ultergra and good wheels for 1500 Euro. Now you don't even get the groupset with that...
It's only a matter of time before everyone is doing the "top of the hill "dance whether they are at the top of a hill or not . With a general election coming up, this could be decisive.. 🧐
19:17 Ironic timing to be praising the "community" of cycling while Kyle in apparent trouble is ignored. 😀 Then again, you were referring to the community of women 😀
Interesting listening to everyday female cyclists and the barriers they have overcome and their concerns. All for more women in the sport.
Thank you so much ☺️
I’ve loved all 3 of these videos, but this one is the best, just ordinary women having a great time on the bike. Really enjoy your channel Amy
Thanks so much 🫶 glad you liked it!
one of the best RUclips channels on the web
Thanks so much 🫶🫶

Girls are great. Girls who ride bikes are awesome!

The tiny girl is SO sweet 😊
She is a friend of mine and one of the nicest and most thoughtful people you could ever meet
@@michaelgould3475 I am not surprised as she seems exactly that way.
Great cause and convo with the group of ladies you have there to cycle with excluding Kyle of course, I'd choose his food style any day .lol
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it ☺️

We have three t-shirts at the moment but more coming in May so watch this space….there may be a hill dance one coming ☺️🫶
I swear I was never a faffer… then I started cycling…even if I’m just popping on my bike to do errands it’s faffington central
After watching this, I installed my mudguards! Good job Bavarian!
What is the outside temperature? It looks delightful
Great vids, are the tops you are wearing available or are they just for the club?
Hiya, they're available to buy from Velo Bavarian bike shop - you can order to home by calling them if you're not local to the shop ☺️
19:16 Don't drink and drive! Get well soon, Kyle!
😂 I can confirm he’s well 😂
Great video, but oh, that food!! It looked completely scrummy! A simple poached egg 🍳 on toast can be glorious, I'm a big fan of them, but the version with avocado 🥑 and bacon 🥓 really got me salivating! Blimey, I'm hungry now
Oh yes the food Was delish! Thanks for watching ☺️
Great stuff and belated happy Women's Day. 🎉
Thanks so much ☺️
Amy, what make are your cycling goggles please? I struggle to get as I have a small head frame. Thanks in advance ☺️
www.sungod.co/s/GHe8c9RS/ there you go ☺️
I'm glad I left the UK for Australia. Sod that horrible weather. 😂, But then again i haven't riden for 5 days as it's been 40c every day.
Haha yes the weather has been awful here recently! Rain all day today, got soaked on our ride!
Superb video, we nearly choked laughing at Kyle bless him hope hes ok 😂
😂😂 when I was editing the video I was laughing! Can’t believe I was so oblivious 🤦♀️😂
@@amy.cycling.adventures we rewound it twice before we spotted your text at the bottom of the screen lol
Just curious what is your average speed and roughly how many miles do you ride
Hiya! Best place to look is my strava - link in my profile, it all depends on the amount of hills, whether it's social or not, wind direction ☺️ I think on this ride we did around 38 miles and averaged 16-17mph

Отважные британские девушки😲💪
👍
You girls would certainly drop me ! . I ride solo and imagine I’m fast
Fun vlog :)
Good morning 'its the last in a series of 3 for IWD and showing off my 17th new outfit (Kyle too) in the last 17 YT posts...🤣🤣
😂😂
Good day for all,🎉🎉🐑🐑🐑.
great videos
Glad you like them!
Drizzle-y Mizzle-y 🙃
At first I thought Valtteri Bottas had launched some clothes with Santani because of the VB logo. 😂
what are Malones and am I allowed to ask what mudguards you bought?
Miles.
Have to say I can’t get enough of your cycling videos, well done really enjoy watching them
Thank you!!

How are Laura's eating skills, when her favorite is her favorite because you can drop it and it's alight? 🤣
😂😂
It's only a matter of time before everyone is doing the "top of the hill "dance whether they are at the top of a hill or not . With a general election coming up, this could be decisive.. 🧐
how was ride
Amy, why do you always leave your helmet on?
Because my hair is a mess & I don’t like what look like 😂😂
19:17 Ironic timing to be praising the "community" of cycling while Kyle in apparent trouble is ignored. 😀 Then again, you were referring to the community of women 😀
@8:30 will the ladies please lead the way by wearing gravel shoes and keep us cyclists from looking like absolute tools walking in road cleats??
@1:05 needs work, the footwork is ok, but that jump and click is embarrassing 🤣
😂😂
@12:00 lovely ladies... beautiful stories... but I'm sorry, totally boring conversation for a man. I thought I saw Kyle nodding off 🤣
It was fascinating! I want to hear what women think and how we can make clubs easier for everyone
Barriers to cycling? Alpha Male Misogyny. But - the women you meet along the way is worth battling through all the crap you get from the blokes.
