very great performance! We were very happy to have met you at Mont Ventoux. Kind regards. Henrike
I was so excited watching your video that I stopped breathing a couple times. I mean, I was concentrating so hard on the famous roads and sites I have only ever seen on Zwift! And then, when I thought I was finally getting myself under control, THERE CAME THE SHEEP! 🐑🐑🐑 Joy of joys! Thanks so much for taking us with you on such a glorious adventure. 😘😘😘
Many thanks for taking us along on this adventure! If you ever get back to the U.S., the Markleeville Death Ride (a.k.a. Tour of the California Alps) should be right up your alley!
I was just thinking that too!
Magic and how about them sheepies! Thank YOU for taking us along on your adventure … it’s so great to see you embracing the joie du cyclisme! PS: What a huge relief to learn that it was the GoPro that took a tumble and not you … whew! 🚴⛰️🐑📷😅
LOVED this!!!!! This is definitely on my to do list. The roads look so smooth and that mountain is so iconic! You gave me a mini heart attack on the 1st descent though, I thought you’d sssssstacked it!!!! Great video, well done, what a ride! ❤❤❤
Brilliant Katie! I was last there in 2015 and your video reminds me of a great days cycling. Like you, we set off in the dark because the temperatures were forcast to be 38C, and they were! I've done another Ventoux where the temperature in the towns was 20C but there was snow on the top and bloody freezing!
Thanks for the thanks KB.......but its deffo us that need to thank you for bringing the cycling joy to us all.
I been off the bike for 9wks now with sciatica and know for a fact when I get back I am going to appreciate every pedal stroke and view even more.
The vieews!!
Heart-wrenching, otherworldly almost.
And you cooked Mr. Ventoux on all sides, continuously one after the other; that speaks volumes as to how strong a cyclist you've become.
We're all very really proud of you Katie!
We appreciate you showing the whole endeavour to us, it almost felt like a gentle caress to all of us supporters.
Enjoy the evening together with your friends and then make a safe comeback home.
We are going to be there for you
😁😄 😊 =]
Thank you. Did I miss the footage of the stop at the Tom Simpson memorial? I cycled the three climbs in 2019 and I was totally unprepared but it was do-able and enjoyable even for an old knacker. I was aged 59 back then. For anyone thinking about it... just do it.
That's another ride for the bucket list. Just wow. Your unwavering enthusiasm is infectious and a pleasure to witness, this video has made my day.
Love seeing the excitement you bring to your vids. Rocks!!!
What a great watch! I’ve signed up to the Cingles for this summer having done Bedoin to top two years ago and then Bedoin Summit down to Malaucene and upon again last year. Was going for the unofficial three but started too late in the morning really and left the Sault climb. It was HOT! 29C at the summit and hotter below on the climbs. Chapeau to you for this successful ride! Love your love of just cycling! Can’t wait to be there again.
You are such a happy person! At least on most of your ride videos, anyway. Especially when there are sheep. :D This looked like a wonderful ride - I love, love, love mountains and descents.
Been binging your channel the past few days, as I am stuck at home with COVID and can’t go ride (or go to work, or get groceries, etc). Truly enjoying all of your content. Thanks!
When i started cycling i watched your videos for inspiration. This time i’m in the video, i was also at the top when you finished your 2nd climb 😊. I was glad i made it once that day.
When your Go Pro took an alternate route I thought you had crashed...ascents hurt, but descents are painful. The cold always gets me worse, that and the thought of crashing at 60 kph.
Thanks for sharing. You got your climbing, you got your views, and you got your SHEEPIES!
Jeez Katie 'Pantani', thought for a second you had gone A over T when that camera was bouncing around in the tumble dryer :)
Well done on the 3 ascents, knew you didn't need much prep ! 🐑
🗻
Smiling the entire time. The views are incredible, but I felt so bad when you were freezing your tail off after the first descent. Bravo, Katie!
Wow you're a beast! Having only done Ventoux on Swift and realization of how easy my set up made it...well cant imagine 1 real attempt vs 3! 🤜🤛
Cool. I did the Malaucène side for the first time in June. Just remember the middle bit being pretty steep and constant and a really great view after the roundabout up to the top.
Jesus Katie I wouldn’t say the ascent from Bédoin was gradual it bloody killed me….your a machine well done loved the downhill when I was there in march 😍
Brilliant - well done Katie! I did this last week, starting Bedoin, then Malaucene then Sault, but only saw sheepies on the Sault climb. For me the hardest part was the 3rd climb from Chalet Reynard up to the top. I'll have to try that Great Dun Fell now to see how it compares!
Fun to watch your climbs. I climbed from Bedouin at dawn about the same time or year. Cool morning but sun was out and it warmed up for the descent . Ran into the sheep farmers as you did. Great fun. The French have turned that hill into an industry. The riding teams had sprayed the road with team names and taunts. Great fun.
Thanks for this Katie. It looks like fun. ❤❤👍🇮🇪
AMAZING video Katie. The Zwift version is a good representation (I've done it myself) but now that I've seen you do the real climb there's NO comparison to the real deal. Congrats!! - Bob (Toronto, Canada)
I know it is an iconic climb , but take a few hours to climb Great Dun Fell. Absolutely gorgeous and to climb in good weather is a bonus. Both are probably great climbs , just totally different different beasts .
Great video. I cycled ventoux from Bedouin in 2015 and Malaucene in 2022.
Im going for the 3 this yr in june. Thanks for the video.😊
There's really nothing quite like already being on your ride at sunrise 🌄
You definitely are a champ at climbing….I love watching you!
Wow Katie well done, although my heart was in my mouth when your camera fell off, I thought there was going blood and broken bones, I seriously thought you'd crashed...and breath, when you picked up the camera ❤
Congrats. Quite an achievement.
The decent down into Malaucene was my first ever proper european mountain descent. Loved it!
The Bedoin climb being my first ever proper european climb.
Followed it 3 days later with Alp D'Huez...... that was a fantastci week of col conquering.
Well done, not sure how you manage to ooze all that enthusiasm after 3 ascents 🤣
Incredible effort, Katie. Interesting to hear you say this felt easier than GDF. Makes me even more eager to get down to France to climb Ventoux now. 👌🏻
Well done. For me once was more than enough 😂
Great ride Katie. Your abilities are quite impressive.
Thank you! 😁
Welcome to the club!!
Did it a few years ago (at one of the warmest weeks ever 😅)
Great video, i am glad you are back to your immutable best. Nothing better than watching a northern lass present in front of such gorgeous scenery with interesting and exciting enthusiasm, love your videos something rotten.
Wow amazing Katie.. Chapeau.. what a trooper ;) it looks amazing would love to do Ventoux.. Pete
I just climbed it from Bedoin on September 14th!! Well done
Congrats Katie - well done ! I hope to ride Mt Ventoux as well one day.
Luv your vids, Katie. I’m psyched for your success on Mt. Ventoux. Amazing riding. Bring your gang over the pond to try Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. If you haven’t heard, it’s open once a year in August. An adventure for strong climbers like you! And I’m sure it would give you great video to post. Thank you for all the fun you bring!
Thanks Mike!!! I really need to!!
Sheep on Ventoux! You must have been in heaven! Congrats!
Chapeau Katie. Well done.
Glad it was just the GoPro! I thought that was you! Great ride!
Katie, la machine ! Bravo 🙌.
Congrats on finishing the challenege. Ventoux is just long and gradual more exposed that makes it more mental vs steeper climbs elsewhere require more physical efforts. The salt side looks to be interesting to do.
Well done 👏 i am going for the first time next year, can't wait..
Saw the camera drop, glad it was just the camera. So good to see you happy! Cheers and ride on!
Nice video to watch! Planning on doing the Cinglés myself this summer, that's how I came across your video. I must say I'm pretty impressed on how fresh you still looked after the 3 ascent.
Definetly Subscribing to this channel and hopefully watch some great European climbs in the future :D
Thank you!!! You just have to pace it and if I can do anything on a bike.. it’s pacing! :)
Enjoy x
That's mad three on the bounce, love that you think Great Dun Fell is harder. Having climbed neither I'll take your word for it
GDF is way tougher!!! 🤩💪🏼
Hey Frenchie here, flashing lights are forbidden on french roads, both in the front and rear. They must not be flashing or you could get fined for it... well done and congrats on joing the club des cinglés !
Ahhhh really?!! Thank you for letting me know. Good to know :)
you're amazing! I've been up in a car, and the car struggled!
Great weather for it 😊
great stuff - on my bucket list
Excellent, funny enough I'm doing the virtual version on Sunday..
Great achievement! Its a great area, thanks for reminding me, even though I’ve only driven it, twice! At 76 unlikely to ride it now!
Solid climbing ! Best stock up on brake pads 🙂
You are definitely back to your best self kate 😁😊 great to see it as i follow all your content and this honest fun version of you has always been the foundation off your channel and why you have such a loyal greatful following because we like you and warm to the fact you love cycling people and wee sheepies too😊
Very scared about the gopro drop, dont scare us like that🥲wondefull video and Well done! Fun and cool as usual😁
Good job Katie. Loved it when we did it in 2020. Welcome to the Cingles club 👍💪
How was the weather when you did it?
@@KatieKookaburra I dropped on. I did it in mid Sept and it was 25 degrees with no wind at all. Perfect.
Thought you'd crashed for a mo! Great effort...✊
Great video Katie. My heart was in my mouth when I saw the camera hit the deck. In your last video you mentioned cheap flights, could you give more details please.
You really are an inspiration for me. Every time I think the ride is too hard, I think damn Katie has probably done this…
Awwww Tom! That makes me so happy and now when I struggle I will think of this lovely message. Thank you!
Wow, 32 seconds in and even Katie’s out of breath…. That’s a serious pre-climb! 🥵😂
Miss Katie, Morning, thank you for your posting. The view is pawsome. Bummer bout the GoPro. Hope it is salvageable. As for the Sheep checkpoint it does not get any better. great job climbing those hills
Congrats!
I agree about GDF, If your are relatively light and climbing is your thing Ventoux is (mostly) a sweetheart, its not easy by any stretch of the imagination and the length can catch you out but it never punishes you (unless you want it to).
Chris…. Exactly this!!! :)
You scared the s*it out of me with that gopro! I thought you had come a cropper. My fave is from Bedoin but I wouldn't attempt to do it three times in a day. Congrats to the whole crew.
Very well done. I did it one time last summer and that was hard enough already. However, having done that, more and more things are very tempting....
Ooooh spill all!!!! What things? Would I want to do them??
Oh I love your enthusiasm 😊 Well first of all I was participating in a charity event so ofcourse I was asked to return next year. But also I heard about this triple challenge. I am not as far as you are, once was far beyond my limit. But afterwards I really felt I needed a new challenge, just something to train towards. And then there is winter coming. And i do need the exercise (middle age streamline fysique here). But i do have a few friends. One goes to France every year with his son to ride a lot so i might want that.. and now i ran into a guy at a barbecue who has the Stelvio on his bucketlist. I am meeting up with him today actually, this might just be a viable option. And when were there, we'll probably take a few more in the area.
Wow wow amazing vlog skinny k so jealous but I'm so glad u had a great time
Amazing climb! Looks peaceful and amazing views! You make it look easy!
I've only taken up cycling in the past 6 months at 45 years. My FTP is currently 124, it feels like I will never be able to get to this level but what a great goal to aim for!
The Knock Ventoux 200 is this weekend, so I'll be getting first hand experience of how just hard Great Dun Fell is!
Hi Sarah l hate being cold good views good to be warm your climbing must be getting better sheepy we have millions of them in Australia have a good weekend Takecare
Sorry Katie got your name wrong
Great video!
Happy that tumbling footage wasn't a wipeout 🤜📹🤛
Chapeau on those Strava stats! That’s motivated me to do Ven Top three times in a row as a homage at the weekend. Not! 😂
Loving the white shoes and socks combo
Top effort Katie, Club des Cingles is a great challenge : )
Worrying moment at 4:45. Thought the rest of the video was going to be about the benefits of travel insurance… 😮😂
Great Dun Fell is harder I think, but then the views at Ventoux are nicer in my opinion and weather usually better so masks how tough Ventoux is. Although it’s just a nice measured effort. Ventoux for me is a nicer more beautiful climb
great effort.
Absolutely brilliant achievement young lady 👏👏👏
Katie, We'd love to see a video on how you prepared for the Cingles.
Fantastic Katie, that was awesome!
This mountain made me a cyclist. It's just the best! ❤
Epic! Best video yet.
Wow, thanks! That’s kind :) x
Blimey that’s impressive stuff! You better rename it MyfunThree!
yeah, sooooooo cold. I thought my fingers would freeze off.
Holy cow! I thought you had wrecked again😮 I'm glad you didn't!
Awesome effort 😊🏆
Katie, that was amazing, an amazing achievement, an amazing insight and, as always an amazing video. Thank you. Shame you didn't give Tom Simpson a nod, but maybe you're too young to know of him. Fantastic 🥰
Wow looks awesome, 🤩
You made me want to buy a GoPro and film more rides !!
Brilliant stuff 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍀
Hahaa France has some crazy hills !!
Glory to our blonde angel on pedals for this epic triplet (only, just one km from the summit, Bédoin side, there sits the Tom Simpson's Memorial, it was worth a snapshot maybe)
Chapeau 👍😎🚴🏻
What was your bike set up regarding gears, Ta.
Cool
Amazing...wanna! Also - impressive GoPro tumble - did similar on my challenge! 🤣 How do you think this day compares to the Dragon Ride (Devil) if you've done it?
Amazing performance 💪👍
