Hello there I learning English with you .... thanks

[@debsandtom8731]

That's wonderful.

[@wendysheehan2413]

Glad all better and back to showing us some stunning views. You guys are awesome! All that climbing.

[@debsandtom8731]

Thanks so much!

[@georgesmith4785]

Living the dream! Only just found your channel after finishing a cycle tour ourselves and we are currently exploring Colombia (sadly no bikes). Inspirational stuff!

[@debsandtom8731]

Cheers. Living the dream!

[@freddixon]

Glad to hear that you are feeling better Tom. The adventure continues, well done and thanks for bringing us along ;

[@debsandtom8731]

Cheers.

[@luisa.cah.]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@shanegreen2583]

Sad to see you guys I’ll but just reinforces why people should go do things like this. Looking forward to seeing where your heading next🚵‍♀️

[@debsandtom8731]

Thanks. Seize the day!

[@edenblyth4209]

Jeez, you had me worried there Tom. And I don't mean about the Guinea pig. Time that Lady Luck smiled on you two a little more. Very best wishes to you both; keep inspiring us all, but maybe take it a little bit easier?

[@debsandtom8731]

Cheers Eden. I think she's on our side again now. Just crossed into the southern hemisphere and feeling good!

[@PedalPowerTouring]

Cheers Debs and Tom! Sorry to hear about Tom needing pills, but hopefully it will only be for a short while. Us men need to stand up every so often on the bikes and let that blood flow freely or yeah we get dodgy prostate issues. ;-) Watching your vids on the big screen and the views are amazing. Thank you for sharing. If we could make one tiny suggestion please, when you're speaking turn down the music just a touch because it really drowns your voices out, otherwise, we have really really been enjoying your videos and it is helping us stay motivated to get back on the road too. Until your next video, take care and happy cycling. ~Ron & Petra

[@debsandtom8731]

Thanks both. Great feedback too, the sound is one of the things I need to spend a little more time learning how to edit to make it better. Really useful to hear the feedback - let us know if you have any more thoughts. Thanks again.

[@PedalPowerTouring]

@@debsandtom8731 You're very welcome and really thank you for sharing your ride. We fully understand what it takes to create, edit, and publish videos and we're very grateful that you are doing it. So we're no experts at video editing and are always discovering new stuff ourselves. At the moment just the music needs to be softened a touch while you're talking, so we can hear you. Looking forward to your next one and until then happy cycling you two. ~Ron & Petra

Sorry to hear that you weren’t well but glad you’re back on the road. Thanks for all the effort with these videos, I really enjoy watching them. I’m flying out to San Francisco next week to start a tour heading south, so you have given me lots of help with regards to routes and what to see. Can I please ask if you guys took out medical insurance for your trip and if so, which company you used? Thanks and all the best.👍

[@debsandtom8731]

Thanks. Yes, we use Trailfinders for insurance. Unfortunately at our ages it's not cheap but we figured it was essential in case of something serious. For general medical care it seems cheaper to just pay the bills direct without claiming on the insurance. For a hospital visit, IVs, lots of tests, pils etc. for Tom's recent illness, in Colombia the total bill was only around £200, though it was a community hospital rather than a 'posh' one!
