Day 1 of our UK bikepacking trip with our around the world bike-bag set up on. We cycled from Derby to Settle (Yorkshire) for day 1, a 117 mile ride, we did not have luck with the weather but it’s all good training for around the world!
Thank you so much for watching, if you’re riding, enjoy it and stay safe x

thats not bikepacking. sleeping in a tent in the wild is bikepacking yours was more touring with b&b or hotel stop offs.
What happened to your mudguard ?…..
Helmets off in the cafe 😅
Aldi does great dark chocolate. Love watching your escapades.
Hey Kyle, one suggestion for ATW regarding trousers. When I'm touring, I bring a lightweight pair of trousers that convert into shorts (with zippers). They're not particularly fashionable (I'm of an age where I don't care anymore anyway, but maybe you will…), but it's nice to have the option of either without having to bring two pieces of clothing. Worth considering?
Really nasty weather today .Sort of day the cat stays in all day along with me .So a ride up Belach na Ba on Rouvy was my bit of exercise .You would be better off doing it indoors on Rouvy some where for five hours .How the hell a lass like you can keep 200 watts up amazes me
Anyone here ridden beyond the Bosphorus eastbound?
Your baggage on the rear wheel has too high a center of gravity. It is unstable. When I used to bikepack, I had a bike rack over the rear wheels with two big panniers on each side of the wheel. Nothing on the rack. Very stable. Your front panniers look good.
Wobble, check that tire pressure…. Might be low
Watching you from North Carolina, US. Stay strong and Be safe.
Rock Creek Park!
thank you for an amazing vlog
Good old Uk weather
System weight matters. You are not packing that much. Rider weight, bike weight and kit weight combined is system weight. Expectations are really heavy.
Respect for that effort in the rain guys! Dark chocolate search was potentially more stressful to watch though 😂
Awesomeness!
sugar water and bright rear lights guys
Never leave the house without checking each other's bags.
NEVER wear BLACK clothes while cycling 🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼 Love your videos!
I admire your enthusiasm but shouldn’t you be riding touring bikes with full mudguards, touring gears,external cable routing and touring wheels and tyres ?
Was just wondering as you leave your bikes outside cafes are you gonna be taking some really good locks when you go around the world
Proviz based in UK has hi-viz apparel including wet and cold.
Can't wait for the trip round the world. You should meet up with Micheal Palin for a quick chat about his trip round the world. Love it.
If you're in a jam for dark chocolate, go to the biscuit aisle and find some McVitie's. Have to ask, is your bike pump a push-on adaptor or screw-on, as I had a massive problem where the screw-on one kept unscrewing the valve core, god knows why they made them like that. Shoes for around the world, I would literally be taking sliders/flipflops, and were the jeans just a way of weighing the bike down? Tesco's really do the best Pink ladies, they are huge and juicy. Safe travels to the both of you.
Oh good Lord,the constant bickering is not going to go well when you are lost in the middle of nowhere in a strange country.
Hey guys, what is the system weight of your bikes with
the bags
If you're going fast aero bags setup.
I'm exited to see you guys cycle the world.
You'll have to do it twice. Second time slowly so you see the sights and meet more folks.
It gets better when you leave the UK.
Best of luck..
Thank goodness Kyle didn't have a wee whilst repacking outside the crem.
Jeans😂❤
You should get a bluetooth comms setup for your round the world trip. Something like a Sena Pi or such.
