Great trilogy of videos. Well done to you both. Good to hear Kyles knee is getting better. That puddle looked worse than it was. Looking forward to the next one. PS Black Pudding is the best! Diligent Lime Squeezing made me LOL
Well done you two, you’re both amazing and a joy to watch! Makes me wish I’d cycled much more when I was your ages, unfortunately marriages, children and life were my priority then! However gave up smoking 19 years ago and started cycling again and love it so much but still not much time to do it as now have a 4 year old grandson to look after 5/6 days a week from 8am till 6pm! Anyway you both inspire me to try harder! Love your mum and dad too, so sweet. Happy cycling! 😅😅❤
Love your beautiful ride, wondering if your hubby needs to check his cleats position ? With knee pain ?
Amy is so like her dad.😊👌🏻
The climb that you rode up after Llangollen, is onto the Panorama Walk. It's about 2-3 miles from our house. It's a nice short testing loop on a summer evening, taking in about 19 miles overall.Great ride from the pair of you, especially for Kyle, with a dodgy knee.👍
The difficult mile before Horseshoe Pass that Kyle talked about was at a 10.6% grade. For a comparison, the switchbacks of Alp d'Heuz average only 8.1%, but that's for 8.6 miles. So it definitely was a burner!
Your dad forgot to say "TT to the FN" 😃
i did that in the snow 6 years a go with my cycling club Ystwyth from Aberystwyth so beautiful
awesome
You two are incredible, such endurance and enthusiasm!!! Hope Kyle's knee heals up!!!
Beautiful house mum and dad adventures
Love Dad ❤ he’s so cute
Great adventure? Great teamwork ! 👏👏👏 well done both 👏
What a fab trip! And kudos to listening to your body re. Food! It’s still something I’m working on, I do find that because club rides always centre around a cafe it helps give me permission that that’s a normal thing to do, but I struggle if I’m riding by myself to eat « extra » to my meal plan. But I’m really motivated to manage so I can do longer rides and see more of the road! Doing my first audax today but shortest distance!
Hey Amy, your parents are very nice.
Kyle… I would check your cleat. I had a knee issue on every cycle, then I altered my cleat to a more toe in. This solved my knee pain. Anyway great video again 😊
Next time in the area forget the horseshoe and do the old horseshoe. Shame you had a headwind after the right turn as it gives you a great push up the last bit
Awesome. What an adventure. You are so lucky to have Kyle to ride with you. Your videos are so inspiring and uplifting, I watch everyone with a huge smile on my face. (Looking forward to my next big cycle tour with my lovely wife, we are off next month to cycle from Lyon to Sete.)
Amy please get another cassette with a bigger cog at the bottom.
In a world of fake, this is a refreshing dose of real 👍
Our darling Amy Malones…and her partner Sandwich Joe… presently King of Junk Food…what a pair !!!
As Wales is only on the doorstep for me I need to go more often. Need the hills to train on. Where did Kyle get the Molteni from, looks great
Wot a lovely trip , and a good time to gether great to watch,🐑🐑🐑.
Hello Amy,
Well done again… some big milage for your birthday weekend away… enjoyable viewing, thank you.
Take care.
Paul,,
hi love your videos.whT DO YOU FILM WITH
Perhaps Kyle needs to follow your example and swap cranks for 170s or even 165s. Much easier on the knees, especially if used with a couple of teeth less on the front rings.
What a great mini series, great ride by you2 , i bet you enjoyed your dads curry
How long do you need to be cycling to manage those types of miles? I'm new to this and feel like I'm gonna die after 25 miles lol is the key in the cafe stops and snacks on the go?
There's a great cafe
on the top of the Horseshoe Pass. You were literally a few minutes away from it 🏴
Love that bit: "You want to do it don't you, I know what you're like" Kyle: "I want to do the descent"" that bit tickled me. Great set of videos Amy!
Great ride, well done to you both, 100 "milonies" + in this weather is serious cycling daily. Love to know more about the little Garmin you use/recommend as I step up my training etc now. Well done again and hope the family was equally enjoyable. Hippie birdie. PS- I bought my "Pini" X5 last weekend, what a bike. Well done for promoting the brand.
Beautiful picture quality!
Go Pro????????
Great show. Love mom and dad at the end!!!!
Epic ride. Such fantastic roads in those parts. Last time I did the Horseshoe, we accidentally went the wrong way. It was pouring and our bike computers played up so we just started following a route, which we realised like 20 miles in was the wrong way 🤣. So, we ended up getting to the Ponderosa cafe up via the easy route and not the steep route. Did hit over 45mph going down in the pouring rain though (rim brakes). Fun, or Stupid? – BOTH haha. The little road you went on after Llangollen was Panorama Walk and is a beautiful little road with amazing views.
Ps your dad is very cool. 😄
Wondering if the tailpack was throwing Kyle’s knee out?
know at times it was hard for you both but you both looked fresh as a daisy right at the end. The Santini gear you were both wearing at times looked very smart.
