    Amy I watch your videos with a smile on my face 😊 I love you and Kyle’s enthusiasm for the simple pleasure of riding your bike 🚴🏻👍😊

    See, now that's _actual_ gravel. That ride a couple weeks ago was a full mtb track.

    Plenty of real gravel in South Wales, with stunning views .

    I think these are some of your best videos. Kind of like, here is Amy becoming a cycling personality and here are some of the sweet things she and Kyle get to do in the process.
    Great insight, locations and energy. Thanks!

    Kyle looking to be in great shape, all that riding really showing at this point! Amazing video, can't wait to ride abroad again next year.

    There is some great proper gravel in the UK Amy. Dont let that last trip put you off, it wasnt gravel, it was mountain biking. Look up some of the gravel riding routes and clubs. You wont be disappointed

    Thanks for taking us along for the ride Amy. You know I used to be sucked into the more negative side of life and youtube/social media. But now when I see there's an Amy video I say to myself: Let's start with a bit of happiness. I guess you're healing some of us. And please keep seeing TH-cam as a hobby. You don't want to get burnt out on it and feeling pressured to upload.

    You are in Italy and eating MacDonalds Tuscany just beautiful. Florence is stunning and Siena glorious if you get there. The colour is Celeste. Pronounced Che-less-tay. Signature Bianchi colour. The gravel is sterrata in Italian. Highlight of strada Bianchi

    Kyle knocking the big 52 ring around which negated the fancy light Carbon tubing a little. :) Looks quite good scenery wise and the roads appear to be nicely graded as well .

    Miss Amy,
    Morning. You drive a hard deal., invited to Italy and you had to bring the pack mule. Great job. Nice bikes. You will spoil Kyle with a graphite bike with electric shifts. Italy is a fantastic place to ride. I lived there for two years. Fantastic video and that you for the post. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just re doing my CV to get a job in finance. It seems to open up new opportunities for travel and cycling. 😂 Enjoy. Eroica and the Strada Bianchi are fantastic. 👍

  • @farrar5197
    @farrar5197 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Good on you getting Kyle to go also, you are a team. I noticed KTM racing was there also, you should have tried one of their motocross bikes no problem on gravel with them.

  • @jasonglenn4965

    I'm happy for you getting the opportunity to travel to other parts of the World. No better way to see what's out there than doing it on a bicycle. I'm heading to California next month. I'm so excited I am already designing my routes with the Ride With GPS APP and loading them on my Garmin. Going out West and seeing the Coast and some epic climbing, It's what I do every Thanksgiving holiday when I visit my family.

    @NW620-nw 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I am insanely jealous of your latest adventure! I was in Tuscany last October but didn’t get the opportunity to cycle. There is so much amazing cycling there. I look forward to seeing your Eroica video. I know it is an awesome event! Hopefully you are decked out in the best vintage gear.
    Today I was on my 1988 Bianchi Brava in the hills, orchards and vineyards outside Kelowna, BC, Canada, and it was far from -15.
    Have fun!

    Did a 16 mile ride today in Ayr, Scotland and on my return to base met a very strong headwind that slowed me to 6.5 mph at one point. How crazy is that?

    Ha!! your ride Brought back expensive memories... Flying to Florence for the weekend Ryanair... except it landed in Firenze 27 miles away... taxi!!!... should have taken my bike... How the the Di2 Kyle...?

    Hey Amy, I would like to know if Kyle prefers steel to carbon and why. Could you ask him for me?

    • @KyleHudson-nz8go
      @KyleHudson-nz8go 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi! I don’t actually have a preference! For my long distance rides I like my steel bike for carrying bags and comfort and how more rigid the frame feels but I also love carbon if I want to go a bit faster, although I have ridden my steel bike pretty much all year in preparation for PBP

    • @maverick6631
      @maverick6631 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Steel is real! Kyle is a great ambassador for steel frame cycling.

    Chianti is pronounced Kee-anti. The ch in Italian is a K sound like Kite or Kyle.

    Just curious if you're getting paid to cycle daily. If so, I want that job lol.

    • @amy.cycling.adventures
      @amy.cycling.adventures  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Haha no I’m not! I work full time and cycle in all my spare time ☺️ I get a little bit from TH-cam videos but not enough to live on 😂

  • @zbigniewnykiel
    @zbigniewnykiel 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    How Kyle is feeling on carbon bike? There are much difference between Steel and carbon?

    • @KyleHudson-nz8go
      @KyleHudson-nz8go 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I find my steel bike feels more rigid and robust and less twitchy which makes it good for the longer distance but I also love carbon for less weight and more speed

      I get 28 days annual leave a year ☺️ this trip used 4 days and all my other holidays this year have been over weekends ☺️ Tour de France only used 1 day, the Giro in May used 2 days, PBP used up the most, 7 days! I’ve actually still got 6 days left to take before April 😂

  • @word20
    @word20 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Chianti is pronounced like this:
    Ch is pronounced as a hard K, so it is pronounced Kianti and you bind together i and a in one flow with the vowels.
    Here is a link to a video where you can hear for yourself th-cam.com/video/8I8DuXKTPoc/w-d-xo.html
