The message from Kyle at 4:45 was truly special. It takes a person of real strength to be able to support those around you who need help while at the same time understanding how lucky you are to be in a place where you can provide that support. Your strength and dedication are an inspiration.
Amen to that 👏
@@ShawnIsBatman well said 👍👍👍
He’s a right good lad
_Congratulations_ on the book, Amy! And Kyle, thanks for your comments on the challenges you also faced during Amy's tough times with her ED. Very proud of both of you!
Thank you so much!
Have to be honest I looked and thought a 30 min video climbing a mountain might be a bit boring, but the scenery, editing, Kyles comments, the lovely hotel lady and the storm made for an absolutely cracking video. Well done on all fronts.
Ahh thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Well done Kyle for supporting Amy through hard times both past and present.
Good man Kyle I know from experience what u mean regarding this disorder effects everyone involved with a loved one suffering from it,another top video Amy you both are a pair of tough copies,stay safe and happy tat tar
Guys, change over to Squirt lube. It's wax, and your drive chain stays so clean. I could never go back to oil and that black grime build up.
You deserved this Kyle, for all the support you gave. What a team . . .
Awesome achievement cycling up Alpe d'Huez, especially on fully loaded bikes! Chapeau Amy & Kyle!
Thank you Kyle and Amy!☺️ Your channel motivates me so much! ✌🏼❤ Watching your channel is the best motivation for me to go riding again.
Ahh this is great to hear 🙌 thanks for watching!
How about that smile when you told Kyle he was like Pogacar!
He loved it 😅
I doubt either of you will ever forget this day. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching ☺️
Surprised you didn’t do the Galibier while you were there. That’s even higher than the Lauteret or Alpe D’Huez. Galibier is the highest I’ve ever been on a bike, but Alpe d’Huez is a harder climb.
Always lube on the inside os the chain.
Chapeau to you both what an amazing achievement, respect . But seriously hats off to the pro's, how they get up at the speed they ride xx
Shout out to you too Kyle. You compliment each other 🥰
Alpe d'huez: 🐴 category 😁
Had my bike doing same clicking noise just before a race and it was my pedal. Kyle loved your explanation of been there for others when they having hard times.
I remember doing this bike tour over all these mountain passes. When I got back home and showed my friends pictures they didn’t understand why I had so many phots of mountain pass signs! Every pass cycled over is earned.
100% 🙌🙌
@amy what about us who live at 2500m asl. What a ride though. Amazing scenery
The reason the water is the colour it is, is due to tiny particles suspended within it. The tiny particles are known as stone flour and come from snow melt. It is particularly prominent in run off from glacials such as the Canadian Rockies where lakes, such as lake Louise, Morraine and Maligne Lakes are world famous for their turquoise coloured water.
Ohh thanks!!
Congrats on conquering the iconic Alp D'Huez guys, amazing job👌The scenery was just mindblowing👌
Thank you!
Top of Lauteret view off to the left is the La Meige glacier one of my favourite views ever. I adore this area
You must have somehow upset the weather Gods 😂 On a different note - and I admit I don't know what cassettes you have on your bikes - but for those long climbs I can really recommend an 11-36 as it does make climbing that little bit less taxing on the cod loins. Well worth it for a trip like yours. And not least, if you want a similar landscape but slightly less climbing the Spanish Pyrenees is a fantastic place, with superb road quality, stunning views, lovely little villages in the mountains, and it is very, very affordable too.
You two are great, it's like watching a light comedy (in a good way). Well done with your book and the awesome climb!
Thanks so much! Glad to bring a smile ☺️
Round about 8:49 the best "YIPEEEEEEE" ever !!!
🙌🙌🙌🙌
How cruel was that storm, you didn’t deserve that !!
Spectacular ride! I wish I took up cycling when I was young and had all the wonderful experiences you two have built up already. Keep it going and best of all enjoy it!
Thank you!! Hope you get to enjoy lots of rides now ☺️
Congratulations Amy on the book release. I would like to buy a copy. Not just because I love watching your adventures but because my daughter is struggling with her mental health at the moment I would like to see if she would read your book. Love to see her to find a interest to destact her. When she has dark thoughts and feeling low.
Ahh thanks so much, I really hope it helps her a little & she gets better soon 🤍 such a hard thing to go through, hope you’re doing okay too
Amy - Kyle's worried about his hands swelling with altitude? Then it's best you not tell him that paint nicks swell with altitude.
I very much appreciate both you and Kyle (and your nails) biking on behalf of mental health/eating disorder issues. Bikes were a HUGE aid in my mental health issues. I'm still trying to get over my paint nick issues. One day, one day . . .
Bill O'
😅😅
Ahh thanks so much 🫶 glad to hear it helped you too!
Absolutely smashing it guys 🚴🚴💪🏻it looks amazing so beautiful shame about the rain you looked liked drowned rats bless no what you deserved stay safe looking forward to the next big respect to you both 🫶🏻👊🏻
Thanks so much!! Still drying out 😂
This trip is quickly becoming another classic Amy/Kyle adventure. And I hope you come to trust your tires eventually; those Panaracers are excellent.
The storm was cruel you are both doing amazing am loving watching the videos of this amazing adventure
Thank you! 🤍
Well done getting up d'Huez guys. Great that you had Blue skies for the views etc, on the climb.
Amy, Galibier just 8K away !
Temptation must've been there. Next time :)
Weather Gods summoning up a storm to end the day 🌩 ?
C'mon up there, behave !
🎵 At the end of the storm
There's a Golden Sky 🎵
"beyond categorization" 😟But the views were amazing! Thanks for filming ☺
You guys have great energy. Amazing place to ride.
🐴 category 😂
Great job 💪
Did the Alpe D’Huez - Sarenne - Les Deux Alpes loop last year.
Alpe D’Heuz not the most beautiful of climbs tbh especially not in the region.
The good thing is that it starts hard but gets easier.
Luckily not with packs 😅
Col de Granon hard but beautiful
“My cod loins are burning, and we don’t want salmon”.
It’s these bits that make the videos, I’m going to call them ‘salmon loins’.
😂😂
Alpe d’huez most overrated climb in cycling.FACT
Hard climb that Alp D'huez but I've done at least 15 climbs that are better, just too much traffic and the roads are too wide like you are climbing on the highway.
You two are brilliant I hope everyone watching donates ❤
Thank you so much ☺️
What ever the taxi charged it would of been worth it :). Missed the last return bus in Majorca once. Was 12 kms from the hotel with not enough money for the cab fare. Same outcome ..:).
What a brilliant down to Earth video, huge respect for you and Kyle! Especially getting caught in that storm 👏👏👏
Thanks so much!!
Giving the Galibier a miss was a good call.... It's a pig! You're doing great guys, keep it up
Amy and Kyle it is stuff like the walking in the rain and Thunder along with the Alp d'Huez that you will remember all your lives. It is the Ying and Yang that makes life interesting right? Cheers I know your home no so I am staying tuned.
Great video.... very interesting ... respect that is intense work getting up those mountains... Sometimes i watch Harry Kane prancing around earning millions a month and then i think of the Tour de France and those cyclist with pain on their faces when climbing the mountains ( No comparison in pain )
Fantastic effort with all that weight and you still managed to create a fantastic vlog! Well done both! You did an ALP!!
Incroyable
No harm was done and another wonderful experience of life in the books. Well done!
Thank you ☺️
“ I’d take a Thunderbolt if it would give me some energy ”, brilliant.. Keep on keeping it real and Crank On…..
😂😂
Quality video, hard graft and some motivation. You guys are living the dream!
Also big up T Bain the Watt Machine of West Cheshire
Definitely a great idea to big up TBAT the Tatton Park whistler
Our Great Kyle "Duke of Peroni Beer" looks in that early morning extremely fresh and motivated !!! and even
wearing a fresh washed cycling kit !!! that's progress !!! go Duke go !!!
Great ride. And so fun to watch. Your videos are always so good. What editing software do you use
I use iMovie ☺️
@@amy.cycling.adventures ty 😊
Shame you couldn't have left all your bags at one of the places at the bottom as you were coming back down 😊
Have just preordered your book and sent your publisher an email saying how fortunate they are to have found you. In the words of strictly Keeeeep pedalling.
Ah thank you so much!! 🫶
Kyle eats always the same English food abroad ; ) Let's try a local food!
Congratulations for doing it I love ur video Make me ride my bike more
the world sure works in mysterious ways haha, what a way to end "the best days riding you've ever had"
You're two machines! ❤
Décidément, rien ne vous arrête Amy. Il fait vraiment être téméraire pour s’attaquer à l’Alpe d’Huez et au Col du Galibier.
Forget Tiger Balm, look for Volturine 😂😂😂😂
🚴♀🌞🏔🤿👍
The views are stunning! The climbs tho whew! Good on you two! Have fun and take care 🙂 ❤
Kyle, you are a legend.
Agreed!
Hot Chocolate and Coffee and here we go .......
Amazing :)
1:29 that car got a bit close. I woulda been sayin a bit more than whoah
@ 8.48 - Haha - Amy! I can recall a time when you started filming that that descent would have scared the living daylights out of you, to hear your unreserved full blown YIPPEE! was great!
Yes!! A bit more confident now 🙌
There’s always olive in an emergency.
Well done you fabulous pair!
What a beautiful ride and place to stay, amazing climbing.💪🏁
I’m sure you could have done without the storm on the way home!😂
❤🏁🏁🚴♀️🚴♀️💐💐😊
Thank you!! Yes we could 😂
Beautiful climbing. Stay safe you two.❤❤
Great cycling yee are doing a great job.
You filmed and narrated this so well. Nature put on a few shows for you. Col du Lautaret was stunning. Amazing skies and the challenge of the day beautifully conveyed. Even the storm looked impressive: it's a shame you got caught in it. Meal looked so impressive but a start at 04.00! Hmmm, rather you than me. This is an amazing adventure.
Thank you so much ☺️
Loved everything about this video except you guys getting a drenching , that was so unfair. What an epic ride, you made it look 1) easy and 2) something I would love to try. Kyle’s quiet words were also just lovely. Well said young man. Wishing you both fun and safety over next few days.
Thanks! Yes go Kyle 🙌🙌
As always another inspirational video. Although I'm not sure why you rode up AdH with all you gear. I would have dropped off at accommodation BEFORE ascending!😂😂
Haha we did think about leaving it somewhere 😂😂
16:37 not a bad time with those packs!
Classic end to video guys.
just awesome...a happy cheerful video, I felt the endorphines flowing through this video keep going guys .
We were loving it 🙌🙌 minus the rain 😂
Catching up on the vlogs while on the Turbo, great stuff, alpe d'huez is a fantastic climb, we stayed there for a week cycling back in 2015, first 6 corners were steeper but managed to get up to the top in 56 mins! Mind you, i was younger and 20kgs lighter back then! Haha! Keep up the good work.
Awesome!! Yes the first bit is hard!!!
Bloody hell what and epic adventure Amy such a great cause and because of your big heart too. All those miles with the big mountain climbs wow. Everyone like and subscribe to this lively humans channel and support mental health in your community. TTFN to you both Amy lots love to ya as well.
Thanks 🙌🙌☺️
I love the way you laugh at every situation
Absolutely brilliant. Well done both of you. I look forward to reading your book. Will there be signed copies to purchase anywhere ?
Thanks so much ☺️ signed copies can be bought directly from me by emailing me to order 🤍 - Amy.cycling.adventures@hotmail.com
Wow told you it was a hard hard climb Amy. To me it is the climbing at beginning up to those first 4 corners of the climb, it is quite a along steep drag. You did brilliantly both of you, well done stay happy. Oh and tell tell Kyle I understand about what he was saying I have been there with that stress & feelings though we all feel it in our own way.
Thanks so much ☺️ the first bit was defo the hardest!
Thanks 🫶
Oh, that was harsh at the end. 😢
I listened to your podcast this morning and asked how Kyle coped doing your mental health issues so was great to hear his personal reasonsfor the ride. absolutely amazing such an inspiration and I'm sure you are reaching people and helping😊😊❤ xx
Ahh thanks so much for listening! ☺️
When that storm came in and the rain came battering down I thought wait a minute, these things only happen to me lol. As someone else mentioned below, you'll never forget that day now!
Exactly! 😂
Well done us two and congratulations on your book ,onwards and upwards ,keep up the good work 🎉
Thanks so much! 😊
That’s was an amazing ride that day. Epic! Also, that wooden donkey was an omen for good things.
Yes 🙌🙌
I just got to watch an amazing video of two people having an amazing day!!!!
Thanks for watching ☺️
I did both of these in May so great to bring back wonderful memories. There was a lot more snow there when I did it. Great video!
Ahh bet it was freezing then!!
Super Troopers, wow.
I think I’d have left my bags at the bottom of Alpe d’Huez and picked them up later
We should have done 😂
Well done Amy, will definitely be buying a copy of your book when it comes out, keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!
Great video and great riding. Congratulations on your book. I would love to read it. What is the name of it?
Thanks so much! Finding happiness pedal by pedal ~ link in the description 😉☺️
