Bonjour. It’s day number 25 of my to France challenge. I can’t believe how quick we’re getting through the days. And today I’ve got stage 19, the last mountain stage. And it’s looking like this. So I’ve got a cat 2 climb coat to Henry Eene. Don’t think I’m saying that right. Then I’ve got a cat one cold horse category called a pre going up to 1,748 m. Then another one, cat 2 to 1,968 m and finishing on Lapal Lange, which is 19 km long, 7.2% average gradient, and goes up to 2,52 m. I’ve got a bit of a later start this morning. I’ve got 117 mi to do. Um, the stage is 83 mi, but it’s literally been thunderstorming, torrential raining all night. It’s meant to stop at 8:00 a.m. It’s 20 6 now, so hopefully I’m only going to get wet for an hour and a half. But the most exciting thing about today is that Laura’s joining. She’s literally in a campsite just down the road. She did a tap yesterday to the stage I’m doing today. She did yesterday. She’s probably going to be an absolute drowned rat cuz it’s been raining all night. So, I feel so bad for her. But she’s joining. Kyle’s picking her up this morning. She’s going to be in the car with Kyle. She might do some riding with me as well. So, it’s just really going to help boost the energy levels cuz she is so great. And I have to say I’ve only got 4 days left because it’s the what date is it today? The 21st. 21st. Monday the 21st today and I should be finishing on Friday. So anyway, no point sitting here. I’ve just got to get on with it. So let’s allay. Oh crime me a river. It’s raining bad. Oh, it’s horrible. And all my sun cream’s like running into my eyes. Lovely. I don’t know why I bother with blooming sun cream this morning. Not nice. I’m just riding down to the start of stage 19. So, I’ll see you when I get there. La bathy. Yeah, I’m having a showery here to do with the bath. Actually, relax my muscles. Anyway, I’ve just made up the song of today. So, I’ll be sharing that with Kyle when I see him and Laura. And I keep on spinning. Hey, I made it to Albertville and the rain is stopping. I’m going to keep my jacket on for a bit though cuz it’s still really wet on the roads. Santini John’s been out again. with this uh jerseys. I’m in Albertville. Pantara’s here and I’ve now got a stage 19. So, it is 134.47 km long. That’s what it’s estimate it’s going to take me. It’s going to take me a lot longer than that, mate, on these legs. And I’m going up 15,433 ft. So, let’s go. Or Albertville. I had to just go up there a bit cuz the start was actually around that corner and I want to make sure I’m doing the complete stages. They’ve got the flags up here, decorations, and I think Kyle’s picking Laura up now. So, I’ll see those two beggars at some point. But yeah, let’s go. I’ve got some climbing to do, so I better get on with it. So, this is where the pros will be rolling on out. Got their little decorations up. It’s really pretty. And it has stopped raining now, so I’m really grateful for that. That was horrible this morning. Hello little butterflies. Mate, you’ve lost your head there. Oh, sweet holy pine cones. I just ended up on there for a bit by accident. That really busy main roads. Doesn’t look busy now, but it was when I was on it. The bros have closed roads. I do not. So, luckily, I found this little road by the side, but that was not nice. I literally went on and I was like, uh, I don’t think I’m meant to be on here. It was too late. Um, but I came off at the first junction and I’m safe. So, that was adrenaline. I think I need some sugar to get me up the climb now. I burned all my breakfast off in stress. First climb of the day, 11.4 km and 2,08 ft to go up. So, let’s do this. So, on paper, this first climb isn’t too bad. 2,000 feet compared to yesterday’s 5,700 foot climb to finish seems smaller. So, a lot smaller. And I’m feeling really positive today. I can’t believe that I have to say I’ve just got 4 days left. Yeah, it doesn’t really feel real. But for now, let’s climb. Looks like the weather’s clearing up as well, so might get a view at the top. You never know. 600 ft climbed, 1,400 to go. And it is gorgeous. 280 ft left to go and off in the clouds. There’s a sign from yesterday. Yesterday it was a tap, so there was loads of people riding this stage yesterday. Yeah, I’m in the clouds, so not much to see at the minute apart from me sweating up here. Hey. Hey. I made it to the top. Nothing spectacular here. I’m not going to stop. I’ve got a little descent now. And then another big climb bigger than this one. So, I’ll see you at the base. Right. I’m halfway down the descent. I’ve come out the clouds. And there’s a reason I stopped. Donkey count is now on 27. Well, hello there little fells. They are so cute. Hella, are you munching on some straw? Looks a bit dry. That mate death staring me. That one up there is eating the brambles. He’s eating dry grass. Oh, I just love the donkeys. That’s 27 and we’re on day 25. So, still on more than a donkey a day. Hopefully, I’ll see some more before the end. Anyway, the roads are wet and I’ve got quite a lot of switchbacks. I’m being very, very, very careful. But I can see some blue sky out there. So, sun is on its way. It’s going to be a good day. Hey. Hey. Do you like me singing, donkey? Oh, seen a poo. I think that’s what it thinks of that. Hello, mate. Sorry, I’ve got no food for you. I don’t think you want an energy bar, mate. He’ll be giddy around there. If you have that. Oh, he’s trying to Oh, no. He’s not trying to see me. He’s trying to eat. Right, I better get on with it. Otherwise, car think I’ve crashed or something if I stop here. They’ve both come to see me now. Hello. I’m sorry. I wish I could give you a little stroke, but I can’t. I could stay here all day. Oh, they’re fighting. Stay here all day. Sniping each other’s bum. Now, time for the next climb. 13K, 2,963. Oh, we even got a little sign. I might stop and take a photo of this one. Now, hold up. Wait a minute. Because my Garmin is saying 13.63 km, 2,963 ft. Not too bad. This one is saying 26.1K. Then it only goes up to 1,500 or 1,533 ft. Oh, maybe it’s like split it up a bit. I don’t really know. I’m going to go with what my Garmin says. It sounds nicer, I think. So, yeah. 2,900 ft. So, 900 ft more than what I just did on the last climb. Going to have a quick snack and then maybe the clouds would have evaporated when I get up there. That would be nice. Right, let’s al I understand the sign now. It’s saying how far into the stage you are, not how far the climb was. So, it’s saying you’re 26.1 at the start and you’ll be 37.9K in at the end. Now, it makes sense. Got 8.8 km to go. So, about 5 1/2 miles, 1,659 ft left to climb. Just keep pedaling. Less than 1,000 ft to climb now. 5.5k to go. I’m hot enough. Might have to stop and take my jacket off in a minute. A breathtaking landscape. You can say that again. Breathtaking. Can’t breathe. No, it’s not that bad, actually. But my chain is crying out for some oil. So, when I get to the top, Kyle and Laura are going to be there. I’ll get it wiped down and get some fresh a little lube on. I was going to say lube and oil at the same time then, but this is gorgeous. 4K to go. Hey, I made it. And I can see Laura and Kyle. Oh, my chain is dry as a bling bone. Hey, hey, Laura. Well done. Her chain is as dry as a bone. Have you found the chest sticker yet? Not yet. Are they in Are they in there? Amy, there’s so much stuff in that car. They might have been in the electronics bag. I don’t know why, but I’ll have a look. Anyway, there’s nowhere to put a sticker apart from in here. So, we’ll put it in here. Have you seen these? And it’s gonna have to be Kyle’s face because Oh, I’m a bit shaky actually. Bit hungry. A bit shooter. Oh no. It’s one of those ones with pee off. Oh, hell. Just get the other one. It’s got wet on it. They’re all wet. Oh, here we go. Yeah. Do you want me to feel it? Oh jeez. It’s all disintegrated here. Have you Sorry. Disintegrated. Oh, we go to the right. There you are. Kyle’s got a place. Hey, I’m not even ready. Right now, let’s do top of the hill dance. Right. 1,650 m up in the sky. I’m going to use my bike cuz it to lean against top of the hill dance. Hey, using your bike as a walking stick. Yes. And it needs some oil in a serious way. No, I think it’s going to have more than oil. I think it needs a rinse. Right. One quick picture then and then uh I like that climb. Yeah, I’m just so happy to see you, Laura. I can’t really hear. And this What’s your name again? Sorry. Vinc. Vincent. Oh, Vincent’s bought me some some pastries. Where are they? I want to have a look. Go on, Laura. What was the name of them? Just the This is the special one, wasn’t it? It’s got berries in. Yeah. This is the one I think you’ll be excited for. This is the local one, wasn’t it? This is local. So, it’s not berry stuff. You won’t find it a lot, will you? Yeah. It’s just local. That looks jam. Thank you so much. And what was the name? It was like pike pomi. So blueberry blueberry p something like that. So you’ll like that. I would love that. I need some fuel today, I tell you. Yes. Hey, you like my mascot? I do. Look at them all carrying to Tommy for tom. Tommy and Pepe. It’s Pape and Tommy. You look after them. I will. They sat on the passenger seat with me. There’s some like shhatlands or something around the corner. I saw two donkeys this morning. I’m happy about that. Yeah. Got two donkeys here. Donkey A. Donkey B. Oh, Kyle’s just released some heaven for me. That’s my Yes. Is it? I’ll have that at the top of the next climb. It’s Earth egg in French. That’s what I was saying. Yeah. Yeah. So, I didn’t think you’d want that now, but I’ve got that for later. But I have also got you a baguette. Ooh, puberty. Oh, yeah. Need lots of fuel today. Yeah, you do. I might have a bit of baguette now. A tiny bit. I feel ferociously hungry today. I think it’s yesterday. Get I think we’re in the Do you know in the center console bit just behind it? Here you are Kyle. He’s got an extra pair of hands now. Laura Laura’s is he bossing you around? Laura say I’m I’m what you call it? DS Junior. I’m not bossy. Or is it DC? DS DC. DS. DS. I’m chicken. I’m DS Junior. Two DS. Okay. What do you call? What’s a chef? What’s Sue chef? I’m like s I’m like that’s the chicken one. Yeah, I’m chief. Yeah. I’m I’m s chefs assistant assistant DS then. So, um, as usual, song of the day. Now, today, you know the song Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Yes. Right. Well, I made this up within the first 5 miles. So, it goes, now this is a story all about a girl who likes to ride her bike. She started off in Leing Perry. She’s riding all the stages and the transfers. Crazy. Now, Kyle, he drives the whip. He cleans Amy shorts and he gets the goods. Laura, she’s joined today. There’s five days left and she’ll cheer all the way. Amy, I ride the bike. I go up the mountains and I dance on top and one day we’ll make it to Parie. Let’s hope there’s no tears and only give fees. Hey, do you like that one? That was I think it went a little bit away from the French Prince tune though. It’s my own rap. I think you can own that one. I think you can own that one. That’s a original. Yeah. Woohoo. Sassy. Right, I’ve just done a lovely long descent. So, all the lactate’s built up in my legs and the next climb is about to start. My legs, my quads are feeling really, really tight today. So, I’m having to try and spin easy. I’m trying to spin now to get some lactate out, but I’ve not got much chance because the climb starts in 100 m. It’s 14.6k long and it goes up 3,412 ft. So, it’s looking like this. A little bit red, but I’m really like seeing Laura has given me a massive mood boost. So, I’m really Yeah, I’m feeling good. And Kyle and Laura are going to be at the top of the climb, so that’ll be nice. This is a pretty place. So, this one’s called Cold Depri, and I’ve got 12k to go. Just going to take it nice and steady, pedal by pedal. I’ll get there. Kyle, is that you? Got 8.8K to go. 2,400 ft left to climb. I’m really focusing on positive mindset today. It’s getting hot now, but I’m getting on up. It’s really nice around here. Last mountain stage today. So, I want to make the most of it because it’s so beautiful. It really is. I definitely want want to come back here. Hey, you’re all right there, mate. That house I was looking up at is there. I’ve made it past it. Keeping on going. So gorgeous. 3k to go. It’s quite steep actually this one with the switchbacks. Trying not to not let my mind be negative. Come on, Amy. 3k is less than 2 milesi. Keep going. I can and I will. I can and I will. Got 7k to go. Not 10% average gradient to the top. I’m struggling. I’m trying to keep positive, but this is hard. It’s really hot now. I’m nearly at the top. See Laura and Kyle and that’ll be nice. It’s beautiful. Keep focusing on the views. Right. Oh, there’s a car reversing. Thank the holy pine cones I made it up here because honestly, Laura, I know you did this yesterday, but those switchbacks. Jeez, they’re hard, aren’t they? They’re just relentless. They don’t hard give up. Not bad with over 5,000K in your leg. I don’t know if my legs could last up there. Seriously. Yeah, they don’t. They don’t give up. Anyway, Kyle, that was my face going up there, to be honest. He’s going on. Let’s put him here. Kyle was on the pre. I know you got a mate there, Kyle. And there’s a little teddy on top, too. Well done. Honestly, getting up here, I just feel such Oh, careful, Laura. Help safety risk. I feel relieved, to be honest. It’s not safe to do a dance here cuz I will hit someone’s car. So, I’ll save my top of the hill dance for the next for the last climb. But yeah. Well, there’s lot there’s lots of climb off this, Laura. There’s a one It’s only 1,500 ft and then a big bad boy at the end. So it’s basically from the top of here, then you go up again. Yeah. Up again. Then you desent. Yeah. And then Yep. Yeah. Anyway, let’s get to the car. Thank you. Right. I’m carving up and Vincent bought these delights from Ola. Is that an almond cross? Yeah. I’ve got the believable. I’m going to have an almond. Kyle’s washing me bike. Yay. I’ve got a medium climb. Well, I’ve got two like little ones and a 1,500 and then a big bad boy to finish. So, trying to think about that now. Done the hardest one. can enjoy my quasson and Laura’s hat. I have to say this almond croissant. Look at that. It’s gooey. Laura, it’s gooey in the middle. Lovely. Oozing. Oozing. Oh, go get that. Get back. Yeah. Pine, it pine cone. You know what you saw on the mountain? It was a marm, not a beaver. A mama. Marmop. Yeah. Was it yesterday? Cuz we mates were saying, “Yeah, the mammas. They’re all around. This man wanted to take a photo of my bike. He did. I thought he wanted to take a photo of him. He’s a fine looking stallion. I think this is slightly alcoholic. Boozy. Oh wow. I don’t really taste alcohol, but I can smell it. Do you know what I mean? Alcoholic. Not sure. It’s nice though. I’ll take it. I tell you. Yeah, I enjoyed it. I’m off again. There in the clouds over there. There in the clouds over there. I think I’ve got bite brain. It’s Mont Blanc. Can’t really see it anymore, but just descending down a bit and I just had to stop for one minute. Look at that lake. So beautiful. Now I’m down by the lake. It’s beautiful. It’s a little bit chilly down here actually, but I’ve got a little climb coming up. 397 feet. So, that’ll warm me up. Right. So, I’ve come down a little bit and now I’ve got the next climb. 5.8k long, 1,259 ft to climb. Let’s get up there. Just over 2k left to go this one. I think that’s the top up there where those caravans are. Big switch back to do and then a descent. 2ks to go. Made it to the top. Sorry. Ignore me. Um, so I’ve got a nice descent now and then 4,596 ft climb, but that’s the last mountain of the whole trip. So I’ve got to enjoy it. It’s got some English people here, so it’s nice to see some English voices. And there’s a cheese and wine thing at the top over there. So load of English guys. Load of English guys. English. Where are you from? Too much cheese from Too Ele? Oh, I’m from Derby. Derby? Yeah. Have you got your own Instagram page? Yes. Which one are you? Amy Cycling Adventures. Hello. Fantastic. Well, do you know what? I thought I recognized, but I didn’t want to ask. Fantastic. Four days left. It’s on YouTube, isn’t it? This you’ll be on the YouTube now. Oh, Jack. I love that Chapo. Thank you very much. Big love to you. Well done. That’s great. Four days left. I’ve got Yeah. Four days left. Four days left. Have you done two yet? Yes. I’m doing the stages in order. So, I did the Oh, are you okay? Yeah, I’m doing the stages and the transfers. So, I did the Queen stage yesterday. I’m on stage 19 today. And then I’ve got Yeah, we basically got to get to Paris by Friday. So, I’ve got 145 miles tomorrow, 98 miles an exit. That’s a nice easy day. Then 175 miles and then 210 miles to finish. But I won’t think about that now. But yeah, anyway, I better get going cuz I’ve got Yeah. Of course you can. We’ve had a group photo. This is the official summit and everyone’s here. And uh Oh, one of these jackets. No, one of these. Oh, one of these GoPros. Yes. They are good. But suppose now otherwise Kyle will be waiting for me and wondering where I am. So, thank you. Oh, it was great to see all these people at the lot. At the lot at the top. They were lovely. What was your They were really nice. Got a bit more descending to do. Then I’ve got like a little 100 foot climb, warm my legs back up and the big bad boy to finish the stage. So I’m just going to try and enjoy it because it is the last mountain of the whole trip. So I need to just take it in and remind myself that it’s a privilege. However hard it feels, it’s a privilege to be in pain because I’ve chosen to do this. Got this little Vashy on the hill. Bonjour Vash. Just going through a little bit of a busy place now. I’ve just got a 108 ft climb. So, a nice little pip squeak, then a bit more of a descent, and then the big bad boy. So, just getting myself mentally prepared because on the last climb, my mind did start to go a bit negative, but I’m not going to let that happen. And if it does, oh well, I’ve got to get up there. So, I’m just thinking to myself like I think one of the the things this trip has taught me is no matter how I think how what way I think about situation or the ride, I’ve still got to do it. So, I might as well think positively cuz that makes it a lot more enjoyable than if I’m going up a climb looking at how far there is to go or thinking about how hard it’s going to be. That’s not going to help me. I’ve got to just look on the bright side. Positive selft talk really does make a massive difference and I’ve definitely been getting better at that. So yeah, anyway, up I go. Let’s do this. Like that. Right, I’m at the base of the climb. Lunge depart. I think that’s what altitude I’m at right now. 653 m. My garment’s just flashed up. It’s a 19 km long, 19.2 2 km long, average gradient 7% and it goes 4,597 ft up. So that’s how much climbing I’ve got to do. By the looks of it, I’m going up there, I think. I don’t really know. All I do know is keep getting Oh no, I’ve been bitten in a bad way. Look at that. Goodness sake. Anyway, get some fly cream on that tonight. I’m just trying to be positive cuz my mind’s a bit negative about this. It’s got really hot. Feels like a long way to go, but compared to what I did yesterday, it’s nothing. Last mountain. So, come on, Amy. Let’s go. Hola, Santa. Why I said Ola? I should have said bonjour. [Music] Got 13k left to climb. Feel like I’ve got no push left in my legs, but keeping on going. Trying to stay positive. Last climb. It’s really hot, but I know I can do it. Don’t worry about how long it takes. Yeah, I’m digging deep now. Digging myself a grave. Leange paradise ski might be paradise if you sat going up in a car. Yeah. Looking out the window. All I can see is blowing concrete in front of me. [Music] like this always make me smile. These are ready for the tour to France. Look at this little setup. Missy, get me to the top. 9K to go. I’ve had a talk to myself. I’ve been through way worse than this when I struggled. And people that struggle are going through way worse than what I’m doing now. So, I’ve told myself to enjoy it and get on with it and stop being negative. So, 9K, that’s nothing. I’ve just got to keep looking right cuz it’s so gorgeous. Not the only one doing this climb. There’s other cyclists, too. So, just going to keep going. Kyle’s here. Kylie, he’s come to do the last bit with me. Oh, I’m struggling. He’s coming. Here he is. Here’s a hunchback of ll. Last mountain, bae. Last mountain. Come on. I’ve got no energy, I don’t think. What a result, though. What? What a result. What? After this, you’ve got through all the mountains. Yeah. Done it. Yeah. No dramas. Yeah, after LZ. There’s nothing worse than LZ yesterday. No, that was a burner. Yeah, that far to go on this one. No, not far. 600 ft to go. Nearly there. Hey, John’s been here putting the jerseys up. Look at these, Kyle. Cool, isn’t it? The marmets. That was hilarious. Less than a mile to go. Oh, jolly ball. Less than a mile to go, Kyle. That one. Come on. 0.4. 0.3 now, Kyle. Yeah, nearly there. Hey, could have caugh one of them. It would have been easier. I can see the finish now. I can see the sign, Kyle. Yeah. The actual Is that Laura? [Laughter] Oh my jeez. Laura, you got your donkey. Donkey. [Laughter] [Applause] Finny. Y [Music] I did not expect that. Laura, you did it. Donkey plan. My donkey count’s on 28 now. That’s it. Now look, we got a tail. We was laughing this morning cuz like she’s talking about donkeys today. Thought we’ll get Lauren the donkey outfit later. Little does she know the count’s going to go up. Look at the ears. 28. That is hilarious. I love it. Oh yeah, I bought it and went thought it was just like a little mask or something. I thought it was Shrek. Oh, there’s a full on donkey. I thought it was the Shrek mask. The donkey Shrek mask. Yeah. Oh, I love it. Is this a sign? Yeah. Let’s have a look at it. I can’t actually work out what the summit was, but that that this is the summit. What does it say? They basically just keep it standing the mountain. A relay 2,68 m. And I can feel it. I’ll tell you that. Oh, that is a relief. That’s the last mountain stage done. I’ve done all the mountains. Tick, tick, tick. It’s a bit sad, but I’m also relieved because it’s not easy after yesterday. After yesterday, right, there isn’t actually an official sign. It’s just this one, but I am going to do my top of the hill dance. Laura is taking off a donkey hat. Is it hot in there? No, it’s not too bad. I love that. Do you want to video me top of the hill dance? I don’t know if I don’t know if my legs still got the edge. Get some distance between us. I know. I I literally had to sit down when I did it. I need Norman class on before I do this thing. I hunched I hunched right over my bike and just had a breather. Right, final mountain of the tour. What was that? It gone off. No, it’s still there. Someone else got a GoPro around here. That was weird. Right, final mountain of the tour. Top of the hill dance. Wait, bravo. Blow me. and get me an almond quass. Right, Kyle’s delivered me a piece of heaven. I’m in heaven in the mountains and my taste buds are about to go into heaven. Almond quissant number two of the day and I don’t feel bad about it. Honestly, coming up there, I was envisioning this and it’s better in real life than it was in my imagination. Seriously, you know, like you get to a finish, you just think it’s a long one, though. It was all worth it. Right. You need any water or anything? I’ll have one bottle, please. Yeah. We got like 22 mi, is it? Then I’ll do water. 22 miles to go. Yeah. Can I have a picture on the Kodak with Laura in the donkey suit? Right. Bonapetit. We’re riding back to where we’re staying now. So, we’re actually staying in the same village that we stayed in last night cuz the route ends near there. So, it’s like a 24 mile transfer back there just in this very interesting tunnel, cyclist tunnel and about 10 mi to go now. So, yeah, the last bit of today. Oh, it’s a long one. It’s cold in here as well. Right then. Well, that’s my day. Ding dang dong. Can I say something? Yeah. How was my life ended like this? Well, it’s not ended, but you know. I hope it’s not end. How is my life at this point? That bad, Kyle. Well, as seen as Laura in a tap yesterday, she’s making good use of Got my stockings on. Kyle got me a mascot. Another one. This is Mommy. Mommy the Mommy the same. And listen, does not have the same teeth as me. Actually, it has the same teeth as you, Kyle, because who got their teeth measured as a kid? Cuz they’re the biggest the dentist had ever seen at the time. That was Kyle at the time. Record’s probably been broken by now. Anyway, ride stats for today. 123.44 miles. Somehow it was like 5 miles more than I thought, which is 198.66 km. Went up 15,814 ft, which is 4,820 m. My bum was in the saddle for 10 hours. 44 minutes and 14 seconds and my average. Was that a fart? Oh, for goodness sake, Kyle. You can’t do that with Laura’s here. I’m sorry, but look at Laura. My average speed was 11.5 miles an hour. And maybe if I was car, it would have been faster cuz I would have a gas to get me up there. I’m down. Anyway, the total mileage is now 3,460 and my total elevation is 66,495 meters. Do you want to know what the donations are at? Cuz I’ve not actually checked yet today, have you? I always check. Let’s see. Is it always checking seeing the support you’re getting? Brilliant. So, the current donations are £46,234. Crazy amount of money. Thank you so much to everyone that’s donated. Obviously, it really does mean a lot. And tomorrow, we’ve got DS over to what have we got? We’ve got 146 miles. Yeah. And skirting around Geneva. Yeah. So, what you going to do is you got an 80 something mile transfer. Yeah. Then you got a stage which is 112 miles, I think. I’m only doing part of it. Well, you’re doing like half of that basically and then part of the next day. And Laura’s going to join for a few miles, aren’t you? I’m joining for the spiky bits by the looks of it. You can always jump in and then jump out after the climb. Can I wear these on the bike? You might be a bit restricted. You wear dunkey outfit. Yeah. Oh, that’ be lovely and cool. Cool. Oh, no. Mommy. Right. Anyway, we’re going to go because we’re abs yet again there’s no air con. It’s absolutely like a sauna in here. So, great night’s sleep. Yes. What does mommy think to Laura with them? He likes it. Yeah. Okay. Like he he says that’s what I literally queued out perfectly. Really nice. I went for depress and um we’ve got a 5:30 a.m. get up. So sorry, Laura. It’s all right cuz I’m rolling out 6:30 cuz we got a longer day tomorrow. So anyway, thanks so much for watching. TTCF. Goodbye. Goodbye.

I think I can say for all of us, we want to see Laura in the donkey outfit in Paris You've been meeting some brilliant people and you've come so far now. So now on Friday, I'm left wondering where you are and if you are actually in Paris now, can't wait to see your mega long transfer to the last stage, and you've done more for the French tourism board in 4 weeks, than any other advertisement for travelling through France. "Repose-toi maintenant, tu l'as fait"
your doing well thats alot of miles every day
Yeay, Laura’s there, complete with Donkey suit?!?!!!! Just a few more days Amy, you CAN do this !!!!
Watching the queen stage yesterday put into very sharp perspective how hardcore these two stages are!! Insane, Amy! The route to Paris is nothing after these mountains. An easy pleasure ride!
Stunning. The scenery today was amazing. Well done again Amy, superb effort. Kyle has been the most perfect DS. Looking forward to the final few days, but not looking forward to when you finish and the daily videos stop😢
Amazing! Love that you've passed your subscriber count in donations amount, the respect is real!
Incredible Amy, I never had any doubts you would do this, no more mountains. Incredible adventure.
Absolutely fabulous. Many congratulations on completing the mountain stage. What an achievement 🙌🏻🚴♀️💪🏻🎉 (Laura was fabulous with her encouragement with a donkey suit ❤️)
Absolutely smashing it!
I drove up that LaPlagne mountain earlier this year, it's an absolute beast and to be honest seeing you finish the last mountain got me emotional, what an sbsolute collosal effort, your positivity seems to know no bounds. Chapeau!!
Just realized the insane transfer from the end of stage 20 to the start of the final stage.
Great job Amy – Didn't doubt you for a minute, you made us all proud! Now. Kylie. You're going to need an assistant DS for next years Le Tour Femmes. I'm your guy, no experience in France but I overcome that by having exquisite taste in patisseries , le Femmes and over 20000 Australian croissants under my belt. DM me brother. big respect.
Great to see that subscriber count creeping up too, as well it should!
In addition to the extra milonees of the transfer you have also done more than the pros on the stages, as they have shortened Stage 19 today due to a contagious Cow disease. Checked up on the disease and it is not contagious to Humans ( so you weren’t exposed) and the change is out of courtesy to the farmers who have had to cull their herds
The Tour De France almost went out of business because of the the Lance Armstrong incident. . Now they call it the "Tour De Lance" .
You have absolutely done amazing! I am so proud of you and so happy that Kyle could be such a great support. You two are amazing, and all the people who've helped! Thank you, Amy 🙂
This has been better than watching the last year summer Olympics from France ! Watching the tracking as you roll into Paris. I’m so happy for you!
Seeing your GoPro perspective then watching the stage on TV from the drones and helicopters makes such a difference in realising what you have achieved. Nearly at the finish line Amy! Hope you get to stick around in Paris to watch the pros finish the Tour
You are amazing Amy! You have been a ray of sunshine to many of us who can't be there. Kyle and Laura best support legends.
got cut short duo to farming animal problems
Well done amy and Kyle brilliant achievement
Laura what's your youtube channel called?
A Donkey a day and Laura comes your way! Mountains Cling, Clang, Climbed! 💪 👏 ⛰️ 🚴♀️
Another superb effort Amy….you got this all the way to Paris.
Your hand to eye co-ordination with the camera and the way you keep your face centred on the screen even when climbing is hugely impressive.
I personally love cycling in the rain…Cold and wet. Because when I am done, Time for a HOT shower, HOT soup and sit under a blanket in front of the TV and watch the TDF!
Hi Amy and Kyle, I suggest that when the mens tour reaches Paris you should be given a special award at the presentation. That would give you the imortality you deserve. As you included cycling the transfers you did a lot more miles than them. I am in awe. Youre the best.
