- Final Paris-Brest-Paris qualifier : 'Benjamin Allen's Summer Day Out" 600km Audax.
I'm defo not looking as chirpy as in part 1. But I genuinely loved this ride and would do it all over again no questions asked!
I'm now qualified for PBP - so bring on France in August! :D
(You can see the route on my Strava link below)

I have to say, there is something very genuine about your videos that's great. So many cycling VLOGS on TH-cam noways have so much production added, it's cut to interviews, cameradrones etc. Don't get me wrong, that's also very nice but this is refreshing in a good different way. Amazing effort on the ride!
Ah thank you! ☺️ glad you like the videos thanks for watching!
I waited until I could watch both of these together. It was interesting to see the transition as the fatigue set in. However, how good are you, rising so quickly to such a distance and getting through with such colours. Who wouldn't have sore sit bones after such a ride, absolutely incredible effort? I think you have reinvented the VLOG space on cycling TH-cam. Raw and uncompromised storytelling makes it easy to watch. Not surprising you are accumulating subscribers.
Thanks so much for this lovely comment, it’s honestly such a shock to me to get these views, but like you say I just share my journey & somehow it works, I hope it helps others to get out riding & believe in themselves! Thanks for watching!
Top endurance rider, you put me to shame with your efforts and determination. Definitely a motivator.
Chapeau Amy
Ahh thanks Anthony, don’t be hard on yourself though!!
Fantastic video - very inspiring. After all these years cycling, I very often forget to take in the wonder and the joy of it. I couldn't hit that subscribe button fast enough!
Ah thank you sooo much!! ☺️ hopefully you can do some chilled rides where you take in the views ☺️
I love watching you on these very long rides where you go from sober to drunk from lack of sleep. Hahaha. All those hours without rest take their toll on us but you keep up your smiles and just keep spinning along. You are great at cycling and so great for cycling. I ride almost every day and you still motivate me to ride more. Thank you for all the great videos. Just keep pedaling!
Thanks for such a lovely comment 🥰 I will keep pedaling, enjoy your rides!
What a champ - well done Amy. Great mental strength. An example to all of us.
Well done Amy you’re a machine mate 👍🏻🚴
Congratulations! I watch way more cycling videos than anyone should. Yours are arguably some of my favorite. Thanks!
Thank you so much, honestly I never expected to get the views that I do, means a lot!
Bless you Amy, what a trooper! Despite all those issues, you kept on going. Awesome work 💪😁
Thank you ☺️
Absolutely amazing, gobsmacked!!!!
You are so amazing in what you do such a inspiration to the cycling community
Thank you so much! I just love cycling soo much and want to share it so hopefully others can get the same joy I do and give it a go 🙌
@amy.cycling.adventures I am a professional cyclists in Western Australia you have the heart and passion for cycling and love what you share on here
Absolute kilometre kruncher, well done Amy . Hope you gave the brooks back with a blooming smile 😅.
Wow, I have no words other than congratulations
Well done for pushing on through the pain, certainly earned the title of super randoneur! Chapeu 👏
Thank you!!
That is one heckuva bridge!! It's huge!
Fantastic!
Awesome achievement Amy. Congratulations, and well done for riding through the pains.
Well done Amy, great to see you have now got your PBP qualification. Hats off to you, Chapeau
Yes 🙌 cannot wait, thank you :)
I chuffing loved watching these. Really enjoying watching your channel Amy. It’s making me look into some long distance rides. 76 milones (!) is the most I’ve done in the recent past and I was very tired by the end. Also not very mechanically minded so worry about punctures etc. But I do like the look of some of these further rides.
Thanks again
Ahh really glad you enjoyed them and even happier to hear you’re wanting to do long distance, 76 milones is fab!! I always worry about punctures but I practice at home & it always works out in the end! All the best in your rides!
Inspirational Amy! Well done!🎉
Towards the end, when your eyes were closing... a nice trick is lemon drop candies, the more sour the better 😀Something about sucking on a lemon that wakes you up.
Congratulations on your monumental accomplishment, Amy. Well done. Now for the healing, yes?!
Thank you so much! Yes I rested last week :D
Looking forward to seeing your PBP. Congratulations Super Randonneur 👍
Huge respect ✊
You are an absolute legend and huge congratulations on you qualifying 😊
Thank you so much!
Inspirational ❤
Ride steady Amy, a school fried if mine was knocked off his bike and died in the BPB. Years ago mind you.
Fantastic effort.
Congratulations Amy, amazing effort but was never in doubt. Looking forward to more adventures to come. Sleep well.
Well done. my mum as gone behind a bush when she a s needs to go she doesn't cycle but if it's quiet and theirs nobody about that is what's she's done. Well done once again you make great videos
Congratulation yipeee
Chapeau Amy, monumental achievement. Name and shame that Spar!!!. I'm sure Kyle will kiss your hurty parts better😮
Great effort. Nice to see some footage of my local roads, Chepstow & Tintern area. You missed an excellent cycling cafe in Tintern, The Filling Station. (You may have been too early!). I saw some of the audaxers there a few hours later.
Ahh I’ve actually been there when cycling LEJOG last year LOVED it beautiful area :)
Congratulations Amy on finishing the ride. A radar key may be handy!!!.
Ah thank you!! Yes that’s a good idea!
I know the route well around Wye Valley, Tintern etc.. It's my location. I find it tough after just a few miles, but after your ultra distance - well I'm astounded how well you got through. HUGE Congratulations Amy.
It’s a beautiful area, thank you so much!!
Well done. Great effort, especially with a sore bottom. Brooks saddles are super comfy, after you’ve got used to them.
Congratulations Amy! I 'll never bee able to do this.
Ah believe in yourself! 🫶
Congratulations on finishing your epic ride and qualifying for p.b.p. and also becoming a super randonier.
For when riding in the cold, recommend wearing a gilet over your jacket as an additional lightweight layer. I find it works well at providing more insulation from the cold and it packs away really small when you don't need to wear it.
Thank you! Oh yea good idea!
Legend.
Just watching this. You are amazing. You say you look awful. You look cracking. As a fellow mental health sufferer I do admire your chutzpah and guts. Brilliant
Ahh thank you! Wishing you all the best 🫶
Well done Amy. Congratulations on your SR, and for qualifying for PBP.
Super Randoneur !!
Well done Amy. A great achievement
I’m nowhere near these distances yet but recovering slowly and hope to be pushing the distances up later this year
I’ll follow your progress and look forward to the videos from PBP👍
Good luck!! And thanks for watching :)
Well done Amy, fantastic achievement. I’ve done a lot of sportives, you’ve made me want to try an Audax! 🚴♂️
You are brilliant Amy, well done, fantastic ride and great video.
Brilliant Amy! Well done and another ace video xx
Well done Amy, you made it look so easy, good luck on your next adventure, your doing so well, loving the TH-cam channel too 👌👌👌
Ah thank you so much Mark, never expected my TH-cam to get views like this, so grateful! Thanks for the support ☺️
Congratulations, what an achievement, that’s a crazy distance, takes a very special kind of person to be able to do that, particularly when your suffering any discomfort.
Thank you, hopefully others can have the belief in themselves to give long distance a go ☺️
flippin neck tucker you did it. well done you
Amy, you are a BEAST!! Well done!
That was awesome! You go. Congratulations. Ouch the saddle, lesson learned. Cheers.
Well done! What an awesome achievement. Can't wait for more epic rides to come 😃
Congratulations young lady. I am doing my 600 next weekend 😂
Many congratulations Amy, what a fantastic achievement!
Brilliant ... Congratulations Amy
Thank you so much ☺️
Well done your determination and positive attitude is first rate!
Excellent videos Amy. Congratulations on completing the ride. Now change that saddle quickly ha ha!! Take care 😎
Congratulations! Amazing achievement to complete a ride like that. Since dicovering your channel a couple of weeks ago I decided to get back out on my bike after a long hiatus and aim for my first century so thank you for inspiring me. Best of luck with the PBP
Ah that’s awesome to hear, that’s brought a smile to my face. Good luck & I hope you enjoy it ☺️
Awesome ride . Well done Amy . Keep these videos coming.
Amazing effort Amy your a tough one for sure well done , keep the videos coming great stuff 👍👍
Amazing your endurance is epic! X
Ahh thank you ☺️
@@amy.cycling.adventures thanks for vids it cheers me up and makes me want to be better
Honestly, that seemed effortless - other than the saddle issue. Remarkable achievement! Well done 🎉
Thank you! Yes saddle lesson has been learnt!
Incredible effort Amy! 👍🏻. You did well to document the ride, especially through the sleep deprivation 😴
Thank you so much for watching, haha yes surprised I made any sense in this video 😂
Well done Amy, you legend 💪🏻👍🏻💪🏻
Incredibly strong Amy! So tough!
Congrats!
Thank you!
PBP qualification done! ✅ Awesome effort Amy.
Yay! Thank you!
Fantastic effort Amy well done!
Super well done,you're an absolute inspiration!
Fantastic effort!! Inspirational
Unbelievable stamina young lady! Well done. 💪👏
Very good ride. You had plenty of time for more sleep and it makes a big difference but if you can't sleep then getting going is good. I reckon you could have done with a Nappuccino at Tintern (drink coffee or other caffeine of some kind then take a nap) Find a comfy saddle and I reckon you could have a very comfortable PBP.
Yes defo! Thank you do watching ☺️
Congratulations Amy well done 👏 😅not easy 🙏🏿💪🏿
Great effort Amy! Well done indeed
Well done that really is some achievement amazing Amy 👍😁💯xx
Wow...no words.
Congratulations on your achievement. Fantastic. The saddle looked brutal 😮😢
my butt hurts after about 50 miles so well done :)
You said it yourself, never try out a new piece of kit on a long ride! Amazing effort though, chapeau!
Woop! Thanks for the vid, amazing
Congratulations on qualifying for PBP 🎉
Fantastic, well done ✊️
Brilliant effort well done
Amazing work 👍 👏 🎉
I knew the moment I saw that saddle that your were in for some suffering 😢 congrats you did it.🎉🎉🎉
Haha yes! Thanks so much for watching ☺️
You need a Tailfin aero rack. Awesome 20ltr bag and carbon rack. Well done 👏
Well done Amy.
Well done Amy. Without painkillers I doubt I could do these rides. There's a version of paracetamol with caffeine in it - basically the two main ingredients an audaxer needs!
There are more advanced bike fits where they analyze pressure points on saddle area. Maybe worth checking out before PBP.
Hope to see you in France
Ah thank you! And haha! Yes good luck with your training! :D
Amazing Amy
Congrats on your qualificatino for PBP 🥳
I have a Selle Italia Epoca leather saddle (almost same as Brooks B17 saddle) and at first it was like sitting on razor blades and I could not understand how people could rave about it so much. It was not until I looked on internet that I found out that soaking in hot water and maybe the Brooks leather treatment wax (not sure of name)...I know some people will say that is not good for the saddle/leather but it worked for me. Just remember to soak, stick straight on bike and then get out on the road.
Ah thanks so much! I’ll look into this ☺️
Congratulations 🚴👍💪
Great stuff and epic ride 🎉
Monster effort, well done!
Good for you 🎉
Amazing ride Amy!
You did it! 🎉
Well done your priceless😂 a joy to follow. 👏👏 funny breed the Welsh 😆
Brava!😊
So you wouldn't recommend a brooks saddle then 😂.... absolutely fantastic effort, i can only dream of achieving mileage like that. And the ability to remain upbeat throughout always amazes me. Well done Amy, smashed it 👌
Thank you so much!
Wouldn’t recommend using it for the first time on a long ride I think once they are used they become more comfy…that’s what my Dad has since told me!
On any normal ride, I would not be able to do 40 miles in the pain you had for the last 40 here. Getting the number 1 contact point comfy is a big problem for me at the moment and is making me want to jump straight back off the bike - not nice. It was clear you were also suffering from lack of sleep here. Was good to see you get a nice crunchy apple at the end 😊.
