"If you can ride today, be grateful." So true, and so deep when all of life's concerns weigh us down. Thanks for this pearl, Katie 🙂
Remarkable recovery to get back out on the bike Katie having a positive mindset helps😊 I've had an 8 yr lay off after 2 bad crashes broke my femur my helmet saved my life on both occasions I sold both my road bikes but I never lost the interest in cycling as a whole and 4 months ago I went out and bought a 2nd hand road bike in mint condition and have found the passion and enjoyment again Happy 🚴😊
"How lucky we are to ride bikes". Indeed! 100% in agreement, wherever we cycle it is always a privilege. Thanks for sharing your rides with us.
I needed this Katie, my wife had a bike accident about the same time you had yours last year. She was off the bike for almost a year. The accident messed her knees up and she still has some pain, but back on the bike since August this year. We take so much for granted. I'm thankful to have my riding partner back and thank you for making realize how lucky my wife and I are. You are a Beacon for many people. Thank You
Been dealing with chronic fatigue since March and I haven’t really been able to ride my bike at all and other than seeing my friends or just being able to do things without feeling shit all the time, cycling is the thing I miss the most! But it’s been so nice finding channels like yours that let me live vicariously for now!
One of the reasons I like go cycling is I can see the beauty of nature that can't be caught by any camera, regardless of the weather. Congrats Katie for your joyful 206km!
Hoping to be in your state of mind in about a year from now. Two weeks ago I had my first big crash since I started cycling. I also had subdural hematoma (helmets do save lives!), broke my right collarbone badly (surgically repaired), broke my C7 vertebrae, shattered my left index finger (no more guitar playing for me 😢) and bruises all over the place. Right now I'm resting all I can to allow the body to repair itself. What scares me right know is not knowing if I'm going to enjoy riding my bike as before. I guess time will tell. Thank you so much for all the videos you put out, you're truly an inspiration! Have fun and be safe out there!
Ooooh Paulo sorry to hear that!! Just rest up. Sleep lots. Walk if you can. Get fresh air. X
Oh Paolo’s, enjoy the small things, walk get outside.
Let see later to get on your bike.
It will come small steps.
( broke my Bach 3 places 3 years ago.
Started cycling again, with an egg in my pants, noW stronger than before crash
Take care, it will come
Django Reinhardt played with only 2 fingers, you'll play again, stay positive
Hi Paulo, hope you mind quickly and remain positive. Important to keep your arm moving despite the bust collarbone. I didn’t move my arm as they did not plate my collarbone and ended up with a frozen shoulder - so now doing physio. Hopefully you avoid that 🤞
Amen! And if you can’t get the finger dexterity back, grab a slide and play anyway.@@job9902
Some times a traumatic life experience can change how we see ourselves, what we do in life, and how we react or respond to what happens in life. I never truly understood how my daughter and her mother felt when having an Asthma attack until i was hospitalised with Pneumonia. I am so grateful that at my age i am still able to get out for walks or bike rides, plus planning to do other things. Life is so amazing, just like you Katie, and your attitude to how you live and love your life after your accident. 💜
I missed this vid. It’s been a crap year for me health-wise - so much so that my best cycling month was last January! Nothing disastrous like your accident, Katie, but Covid, deteriorating arthritis, and weeks of sinusitis really knocked my motivation and optimism. The arthritis I can’t do anything about, but with a bit of an adjustment of my expectations, I’m looking forward to a much better 2023. Thanks for the inspiration - you’ve no idea how much encouragement you impart with your positivity! X
I remember when I watched the video and saw your injuries, I actually gasped. I'm so glad you recovered and got back doing what you love with a renewed sense of gratitude. Your recovery helped me with my own 🙏❤️
It is so nice to see you smile even in the rain. Shows how positive and warm you are as a person. Love the channel. So glad you recovered so fast. ❤
I had not heard of Audax until hearing you banging on about it in this ace vid, and now I’ve joined up and have my first ride this morning! Not only was this a ride that changed you, it was a ride that changed my riding too!
Ta very much!
Nick from Perth, WA but originally Bradford which is why I like your filming in the Dales. 😊
Glad you got back up, dusted yourself off and kept on moving. Good to see people carrying on. I often get questions after my accident 6 yrs ago as to why I still ride. Life is too short.
"I'm just soaking it all in, quite literally" 😂😂 Love your positivity. Fab little film, Katie 👍
Thanks James x
I’m a lifelong cyclist, I eased of at 51yrs old ( in a new relationship) I’m now 54 and had virtually stopped , I’ve lost muscle mass and a little heavy . After 9yrs I bought a new bike last Saturday and cannot wait to pick it up today , your vids are motivational, I’m coming back ! #dolifebehindbars
YASSSSSS!!
Amazing recovery. I got out and rode 5mi this morning - grateful, b/c I’ve been stuck at home with C19 for most of the week, and felt better this morning, so I thought I’d run out for an easy spin to see how my breathing and stamina are. Don’t know how I’d deal with a head injury like that. Awesome to see your attitude, and gratitude for what you can/are blessed to be able to do.
Love your comment about riding at dusk. I'm exactly the same. There's something really special about being out on the bike with that golden dusky light!
Glad things have panned out so well for you since the accident Katie (can't believe it was a year ago!). I'm sure your positive and cheery outlook has helped immensely in your recover, and you're really lucky to live where you do. Thanks for sharing it all with us.
Glad to see your back on the bike Katie...
I was back on the bike today after a long wait for my operation.
I love spinning n smiling...
Your message has been catching up with me for while, mainly age keeping up and becoming complacent. After work as I make myself head out into the dark I quickly remember that I'm out and about having an adventure which one day I will no longer be able to do. You are inspirational thank you for sharing.
As I’ve just turned 70 and I keep getting out on adventures, it hurts more and takes longer to recover but the thrill and excitement of being out in the great outdoors is not diminished. So do it while you are able and make the effort to get out as you know it will be awesome. The bike is calling me …….
The weather has been really wet and windy today ; so I've been sitting here watching you 'soaking up' the scenery way out on the open moors. A vicarious thrill (but I'm sure you had the most fun)
Well done Katie, pleased you are now fully recovered and back in your happy state.
I had a similar incident last week in the wet weather, hit a load of leaves on the road and they were so greasey underneath it had me off onto my left side, few grazes and a limp for a couple of days but ok.
Have a fantastic week.
Rest up x
Not long since I discovered your channel. Glad to see you're back on the bike after your crash, an inspiration.
I'm just starting back indoor training after having major surgery 3 weeks ago. Had a lung cancer diagnosis and hopefully the surgery to remove the top lobe from my right lung will go someway to sorting it. I continued to ride before the operation and after the diagnosis, as needed to maintain fitness.
Will be a while before back on road, but just to be able to ride my bike again is wonderful.
Keep riding and inspiring others.
What an awesome inspirational video Katie, so much wisdom behind those words…I don’t have to do it….WE GET TO DO IT….I really need it this video, I need it to hear this….I’ve been letting life, laziness, and such getting in the way of my riding time, I can honestly say I have taken for granted the ability to be able to get out there and enjoy a ride, well,,, no more, I will engrave those words in my brain and I’ll get out there, thanks to you Katie
Cheers and ride on
Absolute inspiration. I have recently got into road cycling around July time. Your videos inspire me to keep pushing through. Thank you.
Grateful we are indeed to simply ride while taking in them views and so glad you’ve fully recovered from that horribilis crash. Ride on Ducky! 🚴😀
Great to see u back out again, the sales are on my doorstep and I’m not a fitness nut like you but I enjoy going through dales on me e bike to take in views and every time seems different than last especially with weather changing colours ect. Take care x
I like how you're posting these videos and editing them and giving us the greatest advice out there.
I did my first ever 100km on Saturday, on my MTB, to Noosa and back. You are a great inspiration for me Katie. Now I have to stay off my bike for a week or 2 as I have had to have radio frequency denervation done to my L3/4/5 vertebrae. I’m not gonna cave in and get a road bike. Love getting out and in the dirt to much. Ride safe and thank you. 💐
100% agree that every moment on a bike is wonderful place and know how you feel. I am so grateful for every ride I do now after a brain bleed in 2019 & then Feb this year I crashed for the 2nd time and had c5 & c6 in my neck fused. I am also back doing Audax in Australia & loving it. Every time I complete one it is a celebration to me on what I have achieved. Like you to come back from a bad injury and scare makes every ride even more special. LOVE your videos please keep doing them.
Love listening to your enthusiasm, so infectious. Most down to earth person on RUclips. Always look forward to your vids. Can’t to get on my bike again 😊
so good to see you out riding even in the bad weather. HOpefully you have no long term effects from you bike accident. Seems no matter what there is still enjoyment for riding. Thats the most important part. Have a great fall riding season. I like it too its bright a little crisp and just feels fresh.
So glad you're healthy and enjoying cycling again Katie!!
Congrats on your 200k Katie, awful conditions but you pushed through and you were still smiling and enjoying it👍Well mostly🤣I have been riding for over 50 years and it never gets old, you see things on a bike that you never see in a car and you get fit at the same time so what's not to like? Nature is a wonderful thing and we should embrace it while we can! I got soaked for the first 2 hours on my 111mile ride last week but the Scottish scenery kept me going👍
I had an accident this spring, just when the perfect weather startet. Jones Fracture right foot. I wasn't able to even WALK till mid-may! After thst I needed to learn to walk and cycle from scratch! I still got pains when riding more then 20k and started to get bad chafings etc. This saturay was my first 50km ride this year and I was about to cry because I made it and so proud of myself. Sunday I had to force myself to ride 23km and my but was hurting SO MUCH... I wanted to ride on monday too, but my body was protesting masdively so I listened and did NOT ride. Everything hurts everytime and I'm so impatient because I used to ride 100-130km without any problems. So yes, that day in march changed my life. Also had some other small accidents this year and everytime I think I'm back I get stopped and need to start anew...
Since then I've been trying to enjoy every ride even more and experience it more intensely. It's hard, but I keep trying!
Love you riding in the rain, even if it's chucking down. One year after your incident. It's great we can we do this.
I was not expecting that guy to answer you with, was it taking a sh*t ,so funny, you're one in a million Katie,living and loving your best life x
Wonderful video, I simply love cycling and after some large spinal surgery 6 years ago have been off and on the bike. I am mega lucky but this helps me aim for longer and faster ride again and shed some lard. Ta very much!
Talk about timing! I've just started research Randoneering/Audax riding this week. Thanks for the awesome vid.
Did my first 200K Audax for ages a month ago, then promptly tore my achilles (non cycling related). Need to spend the next 8 weeks in a robocop-style boot. Aching to get back on the bike, but watching your rides is keeping me inspired (and sane) in the meantime. Love the Dales, having spent most of my childhood holidays in Dentdale. When the weather's nice, there's no better place to be ....
Nice to have a wee chat first thing… you didn’t seem grumpy as you sped off. Good to finally meet you all be it briefly.
I drove through the Dales (Wensleydale) recently for the first time in decades.
I promised myself that I'll be back on a bikepacking adventure
Best wishes, Katie! ❤️
Said it before, an I'll say it again.. You Miss kookaburra are an inspiration. Never Stop please. Thanks for the content. Sean ;)
Loved the video, definitely an inspiration as it was wet and very windy today Tues 1st on Notts/Derbys border bit hey ho decided to go out and ride. Glad I did really enjoyed the ride but only about 64 km. How yo manage to ride 200km in windy and wet conditions has to be an inspiration. Takes a lot of effort just to get up on a morning like that! So grateful to be able to go out and ride.
Katie,
That was a big ride,
The weather was grim , not a big fan of riding in the rain , must of been a couple of years ago I had been out for a few hours and was over an hour away from home, proper rain , with it came the question why am I doing this ??? theres got to be easier ways . I don't need to prove anything, went past some sheep in a field, they were happily ignoring the rain as ii it wasn't there , I thanked the sheep and carried on home, still not a fan of the rain but if it happens it happens..
Your crash was bad, and I thought you would be a really long time recovering and that you had been lucky you have come through it well 👍👍 Enjoy dont push yourself tooooo hard it should be 70 percent fun
Hi Katie another good video one has gone since you came down l remember it well your a ray of sunshine l like the bridge it's cold and wet here near Melbourne public holiday today the Melbourne cup is on horse race and in December it's summer here you always keep going take care
One year since your accident
Your joy and excitement is so infectious. Keep up the great work.👍
Hi Katie I,m not sure if this reply is from you.
Wonderful video.
You are a trooper, riding right through the heavy rain.
Much respect.
While I have my preferred weather to ride in, I also embrace the rain, snow, etc and am so grateful to be able to laugh from all the beauty around me! Not that I don't get growly....I do....but rarely. I would love to visit your side of the ocean sometime. The Dales look like my kind of riding!
I had a terrible crash 3 years ago. Car rear ended me. So grateful I can ride my bike still. Feel grateful every day. 🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️
Well done! You've made a quick and strong recovery from a very nasty crash! 👍
Seeing the sheep early in this video, it reminded me of Betty the cloned one. And then I thought if the medics ever applied the technology to people you should be the first one! !!! We love you, and still sorry for the crash.
Fair play Katie, what a Great attitude 👏
You don't have to do it, you get to do it!! love it!!👍👍
How blessed are we to: breathe, walk, see, talk, eat. never take anything in life for granted.
Katie as a new subscriber I knew nothing of your accident a year ago, sounded pretty bad from what you’d mentioned…
At this point I can’t even imagine a 200 km (120 mile) ride, maybe someday…
Enjoyed your video, love the scenery as it’s so different than what we have her in New Mexico.
Stay safe
Back on the bike after a few years due to medical issues. I hope to do a long ride soon. I am going to be there after some more training. I can get inspiration from you Katie K!!
Well done Katie👏
Really appreciate your enjoyment of the dales
Our dearest Katie, please consider getting a 360 camera, like one of the Insta line up and mount it to the handlebar! Then you can record everything and get all the footage you want, looking back at you talking or looking forward to where your going, what you are riding past beside the road, or whatever you like!! You choose what we see when you edit, as the complete 360 view is there for you to choose perspectives from……that way you can keep both hands on the bars and watch where your going while filming, instead of that one handed holding the camera malarkey that you do…..it just looks really dangerous, especially when your riding with your pals and/or in traffic. I’d hate for you to have another crash but I feel it’s almost inevitable if you keep filming this way! I genuinely adore you and love your channel, content and what you have to say! One of my favourite bike channels out there! Hope I’m not speaking out of turn, it’s just out of concern because we love you so much!! Stay safe KK xXx ❤
Thought I recognised that building. Me daughter goes to Rainbows there! Some lovely roads round here and this bit of the northwest. looks like you have done what i used to do on a Sunday morning but I used to do it on a motorbike.
That should be on a T-shirt - " How lucky are we that we get to ride bikes". Could be 2 versions. One with a cyclist in beautiful scenery and glorious weather and the ironic version for the UK with a picture of a cyclist, nose to the stem battling into a block headwind and torrential rain 🤣. Great vid as always Katie
What an amazing place to ride. Cracking views.
That Ingleton to Hawes road is a nightmare in the rain. 😂 I was meant to be doing that audax if it wasnt for catching Norovirus last week!
I only went out on my bike today to run errands & get groceries--still a good ride
..oh My You've nailed it again on the essence Cycling in one Cracking Audax Vid'..If You live in the UK how can You not ride in The Rain??
Riding In All Weather's..All Year Round..MAKETH THE CYCLIST!!
Stunning Scenery as ever..Served Up wiv a Kookaburra Smile..wots not to Like?!
(Remembering that Crash a Year on & Coming out the other side..even more positive..through knowing how lucky You are..to just get out on them there roads again..is a Mantra for all of Us to live & ride by...Thank You)
Have you thought about getting the Settle to Carlisle train that goes over Ribblehead Viaduct, chuck the bike on and ride back?
Ugly cycling conditions but that riding buzz is addictive. 🎉
Nicely told and well done. Keep em coming. Brilliant.
Your hardcore riding in that rain. Respect.
Another brilliant video, was on them roads few weeks ago. Hopefully see you in the dales one day 😊
Katie watching your vlogs and seeing how far you ride. I did my first 100 miles couple of weeks ok usually doing 60s and 70s at the most but decided I was doing a 100 mile ride. My legs were buggered and my butt was knacking, how do you manage on your long distance rides? You seem to be ok on all of them. 😀
The views made me think of the old black and white withering heights film,🚴🏽♀️👍 great video
The hair looks great KK x
Great ride! I recognised a lot of those roads (not surprisingly!)
If I've had a spill on my bike, in addition to the physical recovery, I also do some trauma healing as well. I've heard of cases where people develop anxiety about riding after a crash. That uneasiness can be calmed by doing something like Emotional Freedom Technique.
Be Grateful for Every Day You Can Ride! Sage Words Katie!
Great video. Well done on your ride. 👍🏼🇨🇦
the joy and happiness is intoxicating....i know how that feels...
Great vid thanks Katie!
Thanks for great videos. Realistic and passionate
You are an amazing inspiration! Stay safe, Roger in Spain 75
I enjoy your videos! You seem like a really down to earth person! 👍🚴♀🚴♀
Hi Kaitie what kind of camera did you use to film this video without it getting damaged in the rain. Big fan.
Love them glasses great vlog skinny k
Just 1 question why wear black clothes in that weather and is not only you but all the british cycling youtubers i follow can you tell me the logic behind that?
I live in the tropic but no matter the weather i always wear colors when alone on the open roads 😉
The best antidepresant know to the human being,is riding the bike and feel alive...i ride for more than 45 years,and did other sports but nothing beats cicling alone or with friends.
Hi good ride. what jacket is that? Cheers
this was one of ur best videos
Having cancer makes it tough but you certainly help. Thanks 😊😊
Thanks for the video, showed off exactly what an audax is like. I did this ride, but was a little bit further behind but got all the same weather. Was too bad and the sun came out lots. First time riding an audax down south as I call it (being from Scotland) and the views did not disappoint. It was a great day. What was that headwind about though? Blowing like it was strong but actually not really having an effect. Can all headwinds be like that? (btw, I'm not any of the Paul's you mentioned in the video but I did chat to "pooping Paul"??? at Sedburgh - now I wish I could have asked him that story!)
~9:25 disheveled-Katie is still 👌
🥰🥰
well done Katie ! isn't cycling great in any weather apart from snow ha
Chap at 0.45 says 'no helmet thanks' which I respect and what is still a free choice in the UK. I personally always wear a helmet but would love the right to choose.
Can't believe it was that long since your crash Katie it seems like only about 6 months ago.
Yeah, some days it's just great to get out, cleat your head and remember how great it is to get out.
I admire your courage, you are a very brave woman.
Simple question ⁉️ how come you are all in black while riding in the rain,why not use high viz rain gear?
Pedalear en la lluvia, es algo bastante peligroso para la integridad de la bicicleta y el ciclista. Sin embargo, es MUY ÉPICO, si se mantiene ciertas condiciones.
if riding in the dales in the rain can give me hair like that I'll be there like a shot - I could make a huge saving on head polish
Nice audax ❤
What's a bit of rain to you, after that APN. So much for you saying you felt unfit the other day. Nearly lost the glasses !
Well done Katie, winter ? Bring it
