Good morning I’m not sure how well you can see me but it’s 6:30 in the a.m. Kyle’s driving again um don’t know if you can see the weather but it’s absolutely lashing it down we’re on our way to an odax now the Oda is 100 km but
Because we’re trying to do our Rond a around the a which is why you do a 200 km every month we’re parking 20 Malones away from the odx we’re going to ride 20 Malones do the odax and then we’ve made a 40 m loop back to the car so we’ll be

Keep going oh some horses over there so we realized we’ve done 101 Malones and the route that we were on had to still do another 30 Malone we only need to do 24 so we’ve just done a new route it’s 26 miles instead of 30 so we’re cutting
Four miles off cuz we’re both KNN and we just thought why are we doing extra Maloney soon we don’t need to so Lo in the gy let’s go oh actually we are at the top of the hill so still got energy to move these lines sun’s coming out a sun Dance I’m not

Can't wait to see those trees with warm leaves on them! C'mon springtime!
Better to overestimate puddle depth than to underestimate 😃👍
The UK audax culture is astonishingly fabulous. Look at it. Well organized. Well staffed, by volunteers I'd guess. Charming lanes to ride on. Bravo.
Wow, I'm not sure I want to drive a car 200km! You both are seriously rocking it. As for me, I will continue to live vicariously through you two.
❤
13:18 the only downside to long top tube bags is when stopped… they hinder your ability to stand over the top tube. If you have the room, as the case here, I'd go with a frame bag. In addition to not hindering stand over, isn't a frame bag more aero than a top tube bag as well?
Mudguards are overrated. Although the theory that it's the fair/polite thing regards riders behind you is maybe fair enough.
amazing, can't believe you had to get through that flood at the end and managed to stay smiling. well done.
You came past my house! I live about a mile from East Carlton.
Ace vid, what an adventure, I’m always hungry watching Kyle eat so much food!😂💪🏁🚴♀️🚴♀️
You might ask your sunglasses sponsor for some lenses that are appropriate in cloudy conditions. Hard to tell if your lenses support all light conditions and it could impact your safety on the road, rain or not.
Doesn't say much about Kyle's driving that you're wearing a helmet while he drives.
Well done.
I had Crud Racers mk2 mudguards but they made a mess of my posh tyres, so I'll tell you a secret – my new ones are Topeak DeFender iGlow X. £51 and they have a red LED strip light all the way down them, front and back. Solid or flashing light. Come in either silver or black. An absolute game changer. The rears need a central, caliper bolt, to clip onto though. No one in your groups will have seen these, but they are top banana👍
Wow, much respect to both of you. Doing that long ride under the rain and all wet and cold just make it much harder. 👏🏻 💪🏻🦵🏻
Absolute beasts. 💪🏻
Well done Kyle great job to you both. Hey Kyle wee stops I am with you brother. Every clump of trees deserves attention.
Great Video!! The the roads around us in Essex are really bad, well done for sticking with it 🚴🏼♀️🚴🏼♂️💨
If God had meant people to live in The UK, he would have given them gills.
Well done to both of you. Feel,Kyle's pain! Love your positivity always a happy bunny, which makes your videos a great 😊😊
Great content as ever Amy. Kyle needs to get a sponsorship with a decent sausage roll supplier. Can't believe the water levels!! Keep up the good work, oh and you are famous!
Well done 👍 amazing watching you riding around my local roads , i always ride under the viaduct and it always amazes me , keep the videos coming 👍
Very well done!! Cold,wet & and windy, your attitude was grand .
You always have excellent audio quality, do you use audio media mod on your GoPro?
You two are the absolute best!!😊
didn't you get your bike ceramic coated. nothing with stick to the frame like your mud guards
Enjoyed riding with you for a bit before my mate exploded his tyres – he blames Kyle for leading him into a pothole 😂 he had to call his wife to come pick him up. I saw a little family of moles swimming across the flooded bit of the road when I got there!
Well done you two and respect to Kyle.
You brought bikes to a boat fight! Maybe Packraft sponsorship is on the cards!
Wheels disease 🦠. 😅 is that what you get from riding audax.
You and Pinni seems to be bonding well…Amazing what a good fit session can do for you in regards to your overall enjoyment of the ride. Remember some tender luv'in care for Pinni upon your return home-I.E.; a good scrubbing!!!
Cheers, Pjw
Great ride, well done. Shame you guys can’t find a waterproof that makes you visible, cyclists get a bad rap with wearing black. Go bright and be seen!
Great video, really enjoyed watching it, having ridden the same wet Audax.
The organiser Rob has a 200k Audax, Kings & Queens of Mercia, booked for 07/09/24, which is a gorgeous route (done it twice), and hopefully worthy of one of your videos.
"8 hours and 19 minutes spinning our loins!" LOL 😂😂😂😂
Amy, what lights do you use when riding a long Audax? Ive signed up for Trans Devon in May, and this will include riding through the night along country lanes, over Exmoor and Dartmoor. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
Sks race blade pro xl😎 .. great vlog
