When the random guy at the service station asks, "You going far?" and you just say "Yeah". And TBH 99% of non cyclists wouldn't believe you if you said, " aw just 600 odd miles! " You're incredible. Totally audacious!
He was so so lovely :) thanks so much my friend
Happens to me all the time as well.
Person: What'd you do yesterday?
Me: I went for a bike ride.
Wife: He's being modest. He rode 200 kilometers!!!
Katie, do your Velotoes covers stop water running down your legs into your shoes when no waterproofs on?
Imagine i only cycled 41km and a friend thought it was crazy impossible to cycle that far on pure leg power and i was like no it's not... It's actually easy.

Congratulations Katie on completing that monster of a ride. You are incredibly inspiring; not only for other cyclists but to anyone who wishes to achieve any goals in life. We love you. 💕
I am not one to comment, but I have been following you for a while and I want to say huge congratulations. What an epic ride. I love how human you are about all of it as well. I want to go on long rides on my own but I am just a bit scared of doing it and your channel gives me the confidence to just get on the bike and do it. Thank you, Katie. 🙂
Becky thank you. If it makes you feel any better I was exactly the same. I used to want to go with others who had routes etc but doing these things solo has given me so much confidence!!! :)
That is absolutely stunning. I'm doing a 24-hour cancer survivor's marathon in late July that's going to be grueling and this is fantastic inspiration.
You're a tough one alright! It's good to live in a time that so many people can be inspired by a feat like yours. This is what social media should be. Best to you in your endeavours.
Amazing achievement 💪🏻I managed my longest ride a couple of weeks back, 140km, often wanting to bail and take a shorter route home, I'd think what would Katie do .. plod on and get the job done. So I did. You're a motivation in many ways that extend beyond planet youtube.
Well done that's mega!!! :) Thanks so much x
Katie I love your honesty. Such a joy to hear and so refreshing. The self talk moments were the best for me especially “I’d rather just go touring” well done! you are a remarkable human. Life is definitely all about the small things xx
"Hey, stop scaring the sheep" cracked me up then I got to the part with the gloves. Congrats, very inspiring!
WOW!! Amazing. Well done you. I was riding the emotions with you - laughing so much in places (the marigolds!! LOL), you chatting through your food and ...... tired, barely decipherable rambling..... chatting to your body! Love it....... and then seeing the tiredness, the pain, the mental battle to keep going. Brilliant video. Have a good rest - don't foprget the spa day! :-) Huge inspiration to us all. Thank you xx
So so glad you liked it! :)
wow what an effort Katie well done indeed (Si from Bath)
Thank you! 😊
Congratulations from a little town, Kimberley in BC Canada. My husband has been a faithful follower of yours and is always exited to share your videos with me. He has been anticipating this video since you completed the event. Incredible! Your rides are so inspiring. We purchased 2 quad locks because of your enthusiasm and are mounting them today before a ride in Mill Bay On Vancouver Island today. Love the Marigolds! Looking forward to more adventures. Maybe we will make a video of our next ride😎. Lori and Gord
The fast cut from the very human momment where you're meeting fans to eating and talking to the camera about Shimano GRX is only something a cyclist can keep up with. 🤣
I so appreciate these videos. I don't film on long rides and rarely take pictures. I blog about them though -- that's just my way of capturing.
Most of my long rides happen in organized brevets (audaxes) with group departs. Sharing the experience with others is great. This video has inspired me to attempt more solo trips. They are harder, but I'd like to see of there's a different kind of satisfaction I get from them.
Thanks always KK.
Cheers Fred :)
Incredible Katie!! So inspiring 🥰🚴♀️
I am sitting here watching this in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA just before July 4th. I was born in Yorkshire and I visited all those places you cycled when I was younger - but never on a bike like you just did, and never in 75 hours. Great accomplishment, excellent video, brilliant commentary and an inspiration for us all. Love the channel. Love the grit. Love the Englishness of you. Keep up the great work, Katie and "just crack on".
You are honestly just amazing Katie, especially coming back from so many injuries. Keep on rocking and kicking ass!
Katie! Grumpy! Nooooo! The highs and lows of riding a bicycle. Great effort, well done.
you will have these memories for the rest of your life Katie!!,such an inspiration to all your followers,enjoy and rest well, treat yourself to that spa,you did fantastic !!!😎🚴🚴🚴
This should be on TV. Loved every minute. Katie you are amazing.
By hook or by crook Katie, your determination and motivation are really something, the distances you ride are unbelievable, hats off.
Omg you are one amazing woman! I was in tears when you reached the end in your marigolds, not from laughing but because I was so happy for you. Brilliant!
Thank you Janette xxx
Congrats Katie, I passed you going north through Ambleside as I was going south. Great video!! Now I just need to work out how your incredible route planning manages to knock 150km off my total?? You're amazing, well done!
Cheers And! Yours was 150km more? Well mine is all on Strava if you fancy a gander. To be honest I did take a while planning the route to make it the best I could possibly get it.
@@KatieKookaburra yeah my route planning leaves an awful lot to be desired! Hey ho still good fun.
Woo hoo!!!! I remember when the wind got ya a couple years ago! I am so so happy for you!!!! And thank you for sharing your ride with us! What beautiful countryside...and I love the sheep too!
Bloody brilliant Katie!! I can’t get my head around that distance & elevation!! You are a machine! 💪 You came through Rothbury!! Wish I’d realised, to cheer you on! Enjoy that spa day!!! 😁
Thanks Lisa! Of all the places Rothbury was my fave. Such a lovely place - think the sun helped but it was so pretty!! :)
Id Rothbury near Rotherham? I think I went through there years ago
@@glennoc8585 In Northumberland 🙂
Hats off to you Katie for completing it despite the regular Northern weather, pure guts and determination.
I sensed it already when you said "ultra" event. That entailed excitement and impatience but also pain and agony, so it instilled in me a sense of anticipation but also fear and discomfort at how much suffering you were going to endure.
I know I would falter at wrestling with sleep; I need my resting time and I cannot imagine how gruelling it has been pushing against exhaustion.
But you did it anyway, and I got the feeling from the start that this was going to be yours, that was going to be fine.
However many miles you may have ridden, one's greatest achievement will always be lighting it up wherever one is marching through, to bring that lightness and gentleness to people that so need it and crave some of it even in silence.
You do it so splendidly and naturally.
That's your sweetest deed and I want to keep some of it for me, holding it within me and cherish the thought of it when you will have moved on from all of us supporters.
Stupendous effort, exceptional endurance, exquisite editing skills.
And now rest, lots of it, and some well deserved pampering time 😃😄😁🙂 👌👍
🌼🌝
Friendly gas station visitor: you going fah?"
KK: Im just going to nod because you wont believe me how far.
Can't help but compare my own mini event yesterday - no rain but wind that tore your heart out. Haydon 100. Haven't ridden 100 miles since my 20s (Haydon 100 is km but there's an extra skyroute and a commute back home to add it up to 100 miles) and nearly gave up on the Killhope climb when I'd just had enough of the wind. We went from doing 50mph downhill with wind behind to doing 4mph on a slight rise into the wind. Great feed stations at my low ebb, and sat at the top at Killhope talking with the broom wagon. But found some resilience to finish. And actually enjoyed the rest of the ride. I'll never reach your standards of epic adventures, but I did at least have my own challenge in the beautiful north. The Military road is often directly in line with the prevailing wind, and of course is Roman-straight. So easy to underestimate the quality of your events - superhuman, not just in distance, height gain and weather but in the mental approach. Tremendous achievement. Bravo.
Your will power is just incredible. And I don't just mean on the bike. I could NEVER leave a nice hotel after a few hours and get back out in that rain. Keep that up and you can start asking for the "Katie Rate"!
You’re a beast. And you made me tear up a tad with you sentiments of nice people. Very true and humbling. Congrats Katie
Last year bought a mtb after like 20yrs, did some XC short track and marathon races, and later on got an Idea of a road bike and simply bought a second hand carbon beauty from Trek and absolutely fell in love it with it. just week after seeing first video of yours I did my first 100km ride, two weeks later managed to do 100miles (161km) and now preparing for 200km ride in week, or two. Thank you for great vids, motivation and being you;-)
Wow,,, congrats on the ride girl, thanks for sharing,,, and the yellow kitchen gloves did the trick... Awesomeness at its finest... Western Canada Don 🇨🇦
I have a big smile on my face! Thank you for making my night. A massive accomplishment. Well done!
"It's a long way to Tipperary" and "Tougher than the rest" comes to mind. Excellent video and well done Katie. 🙂
OMG, I was the one crying there at the end! What a truly amazing achievement. Katie, you are so humble and make so little of it, but you should be SO proud! All that rotten weather as well! Honestly, my jaw just won't go back up! Here I am hoping to do 60k!! You are awesome! x
awwwww this makes me so so happy to share this all when lovely people like you make comments like that! Thank you!!! Ay, 60km is no joke I I remember having to reccey commute which was 60km and slept the rest of the day after it. So be proud of that!! :)
Congrats Katie, total respect and admiration for your determination in slaying this monster. You are a fine human being!
Thanks Stephen :)
I watched your other video earlier from 2019 when you DNF. Congratulations on a MEGA effort and completing it this time around. Makes me want to do it. I only live just around the corner from the start and never knew about the event!
Chapeau to you miss. I just wont do more than 50 miles now so... I bow completely to your superiority! m
Congratulations Katie for completing your biggest challenge. You have a positive vibe, keep it up.
greetings from Philippines !
Quite simply amazing, again sneaked past my gaff !! So jealous of the 2 fans in Howden, infact beyond jealous 😫 👍😁
That was the best, most inspirational, most real thing I’ve seen on RUclips. Marigolds, Sudocrem, mad babbling, unreal mileage. A perfect film. Thank you.
Haha why thank you! x
Now that was inspirational, fascinating, beautiful, heartfelt beyond measure. There aren’t many professionally produced adventure programs on TV so moving! Everything I love about your channel.
As someone who used to train daily; 6 months into long covid my body’s been decimated by fatigue, chronic breathing problems, weight gain…. Watching your channel always inspires me with your own grit and determination to beat this challenge. Thank you 🙏🏼
well done lass ! good luck to all those at it again this year ..7 days to go ! less beer and less sleep this year !...........
I love that you're so genuine! It's actually inspiring
Your a proper hard cookie Katie, top job 💪🏼
Congratulations Katie, what an adventure and such an entertaining and inspiring watch! So many highlights, the kindness of strangers, velotoze 'wars', bus stop picnics, marigolds and my favourite - sudocrem nose!
Couldn’t have summed it up better myself! Haha thanks so much :)
Loved that you stopped in Driffield. My home town! Long way from there now and honestly a little jealous of the cold rainy weather here in Dallas with it being over 36C every day right now. Well done on getting that finished. Looked pretty brutal with all that climbing!
I'm loving watching your challenges/ Adventures. Very inspiring.
Hi, Katie I have been watching your channel and must say every time imm left with admiration for you and what you achieve on your bike travels, your narrating is also great and funny, look forward to watching much more of your adventures cheers baz.
What an effort. Love the route but could not do that RAIN stuff. Here in mid/south France its so warm ad the best cycling...NO RAIN....Chapeau Katie
Yes, very impressive Katie and you now seem very calm about it all - quite unfazed.
Riding so far and filming it too! Brilliant Katie
Why this video got me so emotion. I must be getting old. The solitary ride with introspection and self reflection. Chef's kiss
Cheers Jason x
What a ride and a great accomplishment. So happy for you for sticking it out. Don't know if it's possible to be proud of someone you don't know, but I'm very proud of you!!!
You're incredible. WOW!! Amazing. Well done you. 🥧🥧☔🏁❤
Thank you so much!!
Thought you said Durex at one point and nearly spat my tea out but then realised you were saying GRX😂 After the marigolds I thought you had another innovative use. Brilliant. Absolute class.
At the rate you're going you'll knock off the entire eurovelo network in a month. Outstanding but also slightly bonkers. Well done.
Well done Katie, amazing effort, and to see you hammer through Calipo's, Pot Noodle's and sausage rolls had my heart fluttering, so dreamy. Chapeau for keeping smiling despite Noah levels of rain, and the Marigold's were a touch of genius.
Absolutely amazing!!! I just don't know how you do it...so little sleep, so much rain. I take my hat off to you!!!
What an incredible ride. You have my 100% respect and admiration. Congratulations.
Chapeau Katie, I bloody hate riding to work in the rain,let alone the North of England 🤩🤩🤩
Wow. Just...wow. Katie I'm soooo amazed by you, your sense of adventure, your willingness to take on massive challenges, your determination and perseverance. Congratulations on completing this incredible 🚴🌧️🐑🏞️ feat, and bringing us along. So proud of you. 👍🏾🤙🏾💪🏾👊🏾🙌🏾
Thomas!!! Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Awesome to attempt the challenge after injury etc but endurance is both mental and physical. I did the 24 hour challenge and got emotional at the end too 😥 , inspirational as ever !
Congratulations Katie. No matter what life throws at you nothing will ever be able to take this achievement from you. You are a legend in Marigolds!
RAAM and RAW starts in a few days. You are an inspiration!
I'm a little late to the party here, been watching your videos in order and am trying to catch up after just discovering you in late 2022! I knew that you had succeeded this time, but even so, it was a rollercoaster watching this video and seeing you meet each challenge. Congratulations on tackling this beast of a ride, and for having the strength to come back for a third time! You are such an inspiration.
Awwww Sarah!!! Thank you!! It was a BEAST of a ride and challenge but so so proud of it! :) Are you thinking of giving it a go?
@@KatieKookaburra I would love to give it a try, but alas I live in Canada and am definitely NOT an endurance rider... maybe when I retire!
You're super! Congrats and thanks for sharing ❤️
Wow you are amazing! Well done! Not going to lie you cracked me up with the Marigolds and hair bobble!
Such an inspiration 🥳🤗
Wow.. Amazing.. Congratulations Katie..
Awesome Katie. You had me crying with you. ❤
Fantastic achievement Katie! I was dotwatching your progress throughout your epic journey. A true test of both physical & mental fortitude.
I chuffing loved this film Katie, awesome effort, I felt emotional with you. The almost unexplainable crying at the kindness of other folk - I've had those moments on some events. Very inspiring. The desire to "just get it done". Top effort. Great edit too.
Thank you thank you thank you!! Also kindness of you all - I honestly have had much kinder and supportive comments on here from people like yourself. So thank you! Xx
Wow!! Absolutely inspirational, thanks for taking us on the journey with you!
Brilliant, well done. To keep going through all that rain for nearly the whole 1000km, beyond words. You've set a great base for everybody who loves cycling. Hope you enjoyed the after event personal treats. PS How did you get home, cycled I bet! Love the videos and a great inspiration.
I definitely didn't cycle back across the Peaks! haha
Amazing effort K. The sudocrem nose and Marigolds together would have been some look.... Brilliant video as ever and wow to those views again.
Love your videos. You are quite the inspiration. They even make me cry and i didn't cycle 800 or so kilometres to bring me in that state.
Fantactic
Congratulatios Katie!!!🚴♂️💪🤝👏
Bravo, Bravo
How amazing is that! Having watched your journey from brain injury to this............fantastic achievement!!
Thanks Alison xx
Excellent effort Katie, hope you enjoyed my neck of the woods in the North East. Bamburgh Castle is a favorite place of mine.👍
Brilliant. One of your best ever. I shed a tear with you on that one. 😪
I love it - "I'm not racing" ........2nd woman! Incredible Katie - Well done!
Rob that was a shock to me too!! I wasn’t racing it, I literally was just happy to be able to get around the bugger. So to be 2nd female…. BLOOOODY HELL!!! :)
But honestly I wouldn’t have cared if I was literally the last one back…. My goal was to complete :)
And you did ... In style! 👊
Fair play for completing that,you deserve all the kudos you get.when you promised your derierre no more saddle time that was priceless.Well done Katie K 👍👍🚲🚲😁😁
Excellent!! My sincere compliment and congratulations.
This is the best cycling video I have seen Katie. Well done for the massive effort but also for the quality of this video. It’s an award winner.
Awwww Neil!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!
Absolutely brutal Katie well done.
Well, that was simply smashing! My favorite part of your "adventure of the heart" was when you were talking to us while eating your bagel. I couldn't understand a word you were saying. 😲 But I knew that whatever it was it must have been brilliant...because I trust you. 😘
Well done Katie, absolutely amazing!!! Such an inspiration and even explaining how your legs weren't sore after a 1000km thanks to your gearing is great, it makes people rethink their set up and not just put up with what they've got and assume the pain is normal ( obviously with the right training too ) Thankyou for yet another great adventure shared.
OMG what an inspirational feat you have achieved. I have been following your adventures for quite a while now but this takes the cake! Absolutely fantastic, don't know how you managed it, with the weather especially. Keep up the great work. I can still barely believe that you did it! Well done, Katie!
Me either haha! Thanks so much :) super proud of it!! Xx
Jeepers that's far! Super inspiring - thanks for the video!
Unbelievable effort and so well done. You are not only an inspiration to mature cyclists but your videos should be shown to elementary age children to see what determination, drive and persistence can achieve. Not only a sports lesson but a life lesson. Congrats from Seattle
Thanks Ricky :)
Epic! So inspirational. Thank you Katie. One of the best channels on the tube :) x
Amazing well done you are a road Warrior 🚴🏼♀️💪🏻
That was an amazing video. So many emotions, what spirit you have 💪 The marigolds made me laugh so much 😂
Absolutely brilliant Katie, well done. So glad to finally meet you in person, including the Marigolds 🤣 Oh, Steel says hi too 😁
Andy!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhh THANK YOU AGAIN! No idea how much that meant you know :) Thank you xxx
Gotta be honest, you looked like you needed a bit of morale 😂 Glad it did the trick!! 😁Hopefully I’ll get through the ballot next time. 🤞🏼
Huge congratulations for completing the event. Such an achievement 💪👏
Just wow! ... Truly inspiring.
Amazing! Phenomenal KK. Hard work and reward. Be proud!
I was introduced to your RUclips presence by algorithms a couple of years ago and couldn’t watch them as they seemed to be an “all about me” kind of thing. In the mean time, not only are the movies you make thoroughly entertaining but the experiences and efforts you clearly so enjoy completely inspirational. Lang may yer lum reek! That from an over 70 pedal pusher trying not to fall off the cliff after 100km.
What an effort!! Well done!
The Military Road is relentless. Had to smile at that bit. Please don’t let it put you off the rest of Northumberland. There’s some great roads.
Awwww you know it??? It’s a right bugger eh? Haha
@@KatieKookaburra Worlds most boring rollercoaster! You went past the bottom of my street again. Next time you’re up this way I’ll come out and give you a wave. Or draft in behind for a bit.
Wow, that was an amazing feat Katie! I admire your determination; great inspiration for the rest of us. All the best, Roland
Huge congratulations Katie. Great video and been amazing following your APN story and to see you achieve it is wonderful. 🙌🏻
