The Hilliest 200km Ride I've Ever Done - 5000m of climbing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- I asked Nige (aka the man who knows all things Audax & bike mechanics) to plan me the hilliest 200km possible in our local area and he delivered with this route!
I was craving a challenge and this ride defo gave me one! The amazing views made all the climbing worth it. Climbs included Riber, Winnats pass, Cat & Fiddle and a whole load of others.
Route for anyone that fancies giving it a go - / strava .
(start & end point slightly changed - don't want anyone turning up at mine or Nige's house!)
Thank you so much for watching, if you can spare a second to hit subscribe with your pinky that would be awesome.

Howdy...another great video. My daughter has started watching your videos with me..."Hey, dad, has Amy posted a new video yet!?" I get that alot. Anyway, thanks for being so "family friendly". It is so nice to not have to worry about language, or have to "preview" videos for the kids. You're a positive influence and roll model. Thanks!! 🙂
Aww that’s lovely to hear ☺️ really glad you and your daughter like the videos 🙌 yipeeee 😂
I simply cannot believe how easy you make it look. That route is absolutely mind boggling. I live in the Peak District, so know all those climbs well. Riber Wall on its own is challenging enough. What a sportswomen!
Haha I was finding it hard in the inside 😂 but I do love a challenge!
@@amy.cycling.adventures That is clear - the hardest challenge is conquering the mind and you demonstrate that constantly.
12.3 miles with 4 small climbs and I'm tuckered out. But I'm three times older than you and probably weigh twice what you weight lol. Great effort for you once again. Always amazed how much food you can put down on your rides. I'd be worried about stomach problems. Such beautiful routes in your slice of the world!
Well done Amy. Your enthusiasm is absolutely fantastic. Enjoy every minute of your cycling.
Thank you so much for watching ☺️ I do love it 🙌
Love the videos! Your mileage is crazy and 147 miles solo is crazier!
Thank you, glad you like them 🙌 haha I love the long miles 🙌
You are an absolute machine !! And you make it look so effortless
Yiipeeeee..... wooo hoooo ..... a new video !! 😍
The amount of your tours you re doing just for fun is so huge that I wonder whether you could ride professionally in the women's peloton
Ahh I don’t think so!! Defo want to try some ultras in the future though 🙌
You continue to amaze me knocking out those milones even with hay fever! I feel your pain on that as I had it severely when I was a kid and it was dreadful. Thanks for the great video and allowing me and everyone else to ride along with you today! You rock! 🚲🚲🚲
Thanks so much 🫶 yes I was soooo bad when I was younger, days off school and everything, hayfever is not nice! But luckily I don’t have it quite as bad anymore ~ keep enjoying your rides!
Epic adventure Amy , well done, I did 50 miles today and I was chewing my stem by the end, still beautiful day for a pedal 🚴♀️🏁x
Thank you! Ahh nice, glad you had a good day for it 🙌
One tough lady absolutely brilliant, really enjoyed this video 🚴🏽♀️👍
Thank you ☺️
Hello Amy,
An enjoyable video, thank you... Make sure to have a few rest days in your two weeks off...
Take care.
Paul,,
Thank you so much! Yes I have been 🙌
It's nice to see you back on the road again. I can understand how you feel with your Hay fever I thought I grew out of it until I went to Shropshire on Holiday middle of June surrounded by fields it wasn't fun. The sea air keeps it bay being in North Wales . You take care of yourself we used to go to Buxton a lot and Bakewell I grew up in Hyde so hearing all them Names reminds me of home
Thank you!! Ahh yes it’s not nice in the summer, I was a lot worse when I was younger but some days it just hits me 😩 ahhh lovely, I’m so grateful to live near the peaks 🙌
Absolutely brilliant Amy🤟 your love for cycling is so inspiring ❤
Hey! As a French I didn’t understood a bloody thing you were saying 🤣 BUT I absolutely LOVED you energy SO MUCH!!!! Can’t wait to watch another of your adventures 🚴♀️💨 And my word these views 🤩 cheers, Cécile
Ahh thank you so much!! Sorry about the accent 😂 I’m coming to France this weekend for TDF!! 🙌🙌 thanks for watching!
Ahaha don’t be sorry it’s a good way to practice for me 😁
aaaaah lucky you ENJOY!! We’ll go see stage 20 which is happening next to where my parents leave 🤩
That made me smile, great sense of humour 😊
Wow, a 200km ride! Great job! Stay safe out there, Rudolph! LOL!
Thanks, you too!
Nige has a slight bit of sadist in him apparently. That was a cracking tasty looking plate of granola yum! Cafe stops YES! That order of beans and toast oh my that may be the most impressive feat of this ride IMO. Those would take me out for sure LOL. Thanks for the dancing gave me a proper smile right there. Ding Dang Done despite the sniffles, animals, and parades. Lovely video Amy and TTFN back at you sweet soul.
Haha thank you!! Glad you liked it, always got to get a dance in and beans on toast is becoming a ride favourite 🙌
No one has ever said he has a slight bit of sadist. It normally starts with a swear word followed by sadist….😂😂😂
9:36 Nothing like a pipe band to stiffen the sinews and summon up the blood. Just what you need for a 22% climb.
Amazing Amy! As a fellow life-long hay fever victim I totally feel your discomfort but we ride on anyway. Keep the videos coming, lovin' every minute of them!
Thanks so much 🫶 yes hayfever is such a pain!
Cracking good effort Amy, look forward to Nige doing his turn.
Don’t hold your breath! 🤔
Dang! She’s so good at talking 😁❤️
Some famous and infamous climbs ….Epic 😊
We aim to please…. 😂
Always a joy to watch your videos 👍
Impressive crazy miles 😂 dont know how you do it,could see you doing cycling full time eventually,surprised youve not been approached,anyway good luck in the future keep spinning them wheels 😂
Seriously, hello women's cycling??
Yep agreed, I think she’ll be noticed and approach at some point. She’s way above a club cyclist
Ahh thank you so much! 🤍 I just love cycling so much ~ as long as I can cycle I’m happy 🙌
That is an impressive ride on every level. Your vids are always enjoyable and inspiring. A big hello from Southern Ontario Canada
Ahh thank you so much!!
Relaxing watching your video,safe ride always...🚴 YIPPPeeeeee!!!!
OMG I love beans on toast raced and trained on them after i had tipsy cake what a great ride to day Amy congratulations.
Thank you!! Love beans on toast. Works for me 😂
You are an inspiration. As well as the impressive rides, the way you express the freedom and joy of cycling always makes me smile.
Thank you 🫶
Outstanding effort there lass. Have been Peak District with my family on holiday several times and driven some of roads in this video. Oh how I wish I was fit enough to ride them with the ease that you do. I really must go back soon and take my bike and try some of them big hills.
Do it 🙌🙌 love cycling here it’s sooo good ☺️
It’s Bloomin’ allright!! Bloomin’ nature and hayfever 😅 fellow sufferer here 😂 You’re absolutely smashing it Amy! Carry on!
Aha thank you! 🙌🙌
Simply amazing Amy
So impressive 👏🏻🙌🏻
Bloomin' ekk , incredible!! 😳 Is there any ride too long for you Amy ? That view at 8:30 was amazing! You're lucky to live in an are that has long open roads, I couldn't find an area near me to even ride that many milones😥 ..you make me feel like a toddler over here, all proud I did 10 miles yesterday..lol🤣 nice ride girl😉👍
Haha thank you! I’m so lucky to have these roads close-by! love them ☺️ ahh nice getting out and enjoying it is what it’s all about 🙌
Brilliant effort .. brilliant fuelling 💐💐💐👏👏👏💯.. you are a machine Amy .. congrats on your achievements and new job .. rest up 🥰
Yep, she’s a machine!
Thank you 🤍 thanks for watching!
There are some more physical treatments for allergies, like ectoin nose spray, or allergene barrier nose balm, which put a layer on top of the lining of the nose. Anti histamin medication coud be helpful too, probably in low doses in the allergy season.
Thanks I have antihistamine and a nose spray, I’ve had hayfever since I was younger it’s much better than when I was a kid but when the pollens really high the medication doesn’t seem to work unfortunately!
Strong ride Amy 💪 absolutely smashed it get those cod loins rested you've earned it 👍
Thank you! Ohh yes we enjoyed a nice rest after 🙌
Well done, Amy! A tough route there. 👍
Fair play you smashed that ride 👏🏻
Thank you!
Great work Amy. You did get Canny a new saddle that's lovely.
It’s the saddle she came with 🙌 a selle italia one ☺️
"Happy as Larry" got me googling.
Saw your feature in the Audax mag! Well done! Inspiring! ❤
Ah thank you!
Amazing stuff 👏
Joining the carnival cracked me up. Another Great Video!
Haha it was a surprise 😂😂
Awesome Amy
Well done amazing work 👏 ❤
Great effort again 💪🏻👍🏻💪🏻
You’re a bloody tv star in the making with your charm and catchphrases 😂 great content and smashing those climbs 😮
Nice one Amy. Beautiful colours up there. 👍👍👍👍
Massive effort - would be interesting to see what you are doing to fuel and then recover from these rides Amy - perhaps another video? Undoubtedly helped by your youth, determination, and good athletic genetics for endurance. Enjoy it and keep going.
Thank you, yes I’ll try to do one of those soon ☺️ I don’t follow a plan or anything but nutrition is something I’m working on a bit at the moment!
Respect!
I went up Bank road last month, bloody traffic lights halfway, begging for green.Well done on the hills. I'm not ready for Riber yet. That one scares me.
Ohh nice! Ahh no not ideal to have to stop mid climb! Ahh it’s a tough one but believe in yourself, good luck!!
Superb !! 🙂❤️🚴♀️
I love the 'yippie!!'
Bummer bout your hay fever BUT on the upside it did not stop your ride. lovely scenery and I'm glad you did not get attacked by the cows!!!!!
Thank you!! Haha I loved it 🙌
Awesome epik video
Bloomin' heck that was a lot of climbing! Well done! 2 curries for that one I recon.
Aha the curry went down a treat 🙌
You make it look so easy I have cycled 100 miles but couldn’t walk for a few days after, hats off to you 👏
Well done!!
Amy it would be great to see how many miles you do a week and how you keep your fitness as you always seem very fresh at the end of a long (hilly) ride. I have only seen you look tired once on a hot day- you ran out of water ( x1 bidon) ate only a flapjack and did over 100miles😮. I am doing lejog Sept 2024 and am inspired by your travels and how comfortable you are doing them! PBP will be a breeze for you😮👍
Follow her on strava.
Ahh thank you! Ohh on my 100miles I did eat more than a flapjack, just didn’t film all the snacks I ate! I do have Strava ☺️ I don’t follow a plan or anything I basically just ride as much as I can (I work full time 😅) so long rides on weekends ~ I just love it so much! I think over time doing the longer distances has got easier ☺️ thanks for watching!
"Hello, sheepee!"
"Hello, Amy!"
Happy as Larry. LOL!
Amateur "bikler" here. Taking my hybrid with total of 100+KG up Winnats Pass = worst cycling nightmare of my life. Worse than any surgery I've had.
Greetings from Texas
check out Band of Climbers, they have a 100km (62 miles) with 3200m of climbing, their running it as a sportive later this year 👍
Ohhhh sounds good!
Sounds like a nice warm up for a proper ride. Will send her out on the now defunct Millie Cymru next year, although no doubt she will want to drag me round on that with her!😢
you should ride with @KatieKookaburra you both love long hilly rides who make great content!
That would be amazing!! She’s one of my inspirations 🤍
Strong cyclist! Wonderfully positive attitude and personality. ❤
Ahh thank you ☺️
If you want a hill that deserves the hill dance. Then come across to Yorkshire and climb Rosedale chimney!!!
Always love your vlogs and always blown away by your effort and how you make it so effortless, I reckon you could easily turn pro 🚴🏼♀️💪
Thanks so much! Haha I’m not much of a racer! 😅
@@amy.cycling.adventures Don’t underestimate yourself 💪🚴🏼♀️
You have legs of steel and the heart of a humming bird😂
😂 Good old Nige (aka Papa Smurf) route 😂
Yesss 🙌 we love him!
Wow, you basically almost did an Ötztaler just like that! :O
Semangat 👍
Nice enthusiasm I love it! 😊 supper energetic gal! Where are you! I am bad with accents 😅. England or Australia? I remember 100+ miles training days 3 days a week, hard intensity reps, and rest days before I retired from cycling. Now I only do trials all mountain lots of fun too! No electric bikes for me after retirement 😅. I probably rather die 😂.
England ☺️ wow that sounds hard!!
That climb you walked up was quite famous a year or two ago. The guys at GCN were killing themselves trying to get up it, crazy hard climb.
I don't know how you managed a ride like that. It must have been exhausting 🥵
Ohh I’ll have to look at that! It was 😂
great that you seem to enjoy your rides. i only like when i stop at cafe or home :)
Aha I love it! The cafe does act as a good motivator though 🙌😂
One of those rides where all your chainrings and sprocket teeth get a good equal amount of wear . Yeah been a bad year for Hay and Tree pollen . High levels .. Got a few of those hike a bike lanes around this area as well :). You should feel the benefit in the coming Weeks ..
Yes the pollen has been really high, not ideal! Thanks for watching!
Bloody hell lass you’re a machine 👍🏻🚴❤
Nigel’s a right sadist sending you up a 35% incline!
I enjoyed that that’s my ride done for the day also what are the glasses your wearing?
They’re SunGod (I’m an ambassador for them) ☺️
35%!!!! I don't think even Pogacar can ride up that hill!
No I don’t think so either 😂
Oh no, Nige hasn't ran amock with his executive pointing stick has he?
Haha I think he has 😂😂
Red Indian territory. If you are old enough you will know. Always head for them arrows on the OS map. 😏
Incredible, hope your hay fever stops very soon.
Thank you! I’ve had it since I was a kid so I’m used to it 😂 not ideal but I’ll pack the tissues next time 😂
Odd question but can anyone identify the yellow sports car in the background of the goats clip??
I thought first gen rx7 but the headlights look wrong.
I don’t have a clue 😂😂
أجمل محتوى ❤
May I ask what garmin you use as I am looking for one.
Well when my new bike turns up
Yep sad as am a old sod and just getting my first good bike 🚲 lol
Ohhh happy new bike day!!! That’s so exciting hope you have many happy miles 🙌 I’ve got the garmin solar 840 (somehow I was gifted it!) ☺️
Well done Amy, you make cycling look effortless, what do you use to film with, do you use a gimbal or a GoPro, happy cycling, have a lovely weekend😊
Thank you so much ☺️ I use a go pro you too!
@@amy.cycling.adventures thank you ☺️
Great ride. Might want to ease up on the jingoistic phrases though. Cod loins, milones, bloomin ecks etc etc. gets a bit tiresome. Not having a pop, just constructive feedback 🙌🏻
Good job you KOM monster!
QOM silly
@@rollandjoeseph True!
Bugger best try harder to break her! Wonder how much climbing I can get in a 600? 🤔🚲💥😂
Don’t get any ideas 😂😂
You are bionic 😳
Hi Amy, your "buy me a coffee" link seems broken - loving the videos!
Thanks so much for letting me know, should be fixed now 🤞 glad you like the videos thanks for watching 🫶
Are all your extreme hill climbs marked with degree increase signage?
Amy, riding in Europe is Facination, considering riding on the left. I would love it. My dominant strength is from the left.
Have you ever tried riding on the right, in the States?
Yes quite a lot of them are ☺️ I’ve ridden on the right when in Spain took a bit of getting used to!
What gears are you in. Standard road bike?? Sub compact up front 11 34 back??.. you must have strong cod loins… power to weight ratio powered by beans
Yes that’s right 11 34 ☺️ haha my cod loins like the hills but I do feel it 😂
Bit she only has a little GRX Chainset. 😏 Just saying like…
You're delightful. I love your relationship with all the animals you see on your rides. Are you vegan? If not, it would be great to have another vegan cyclist promoting cycling fuelled by plants.
Thanks so much! I’m not actually, but I do love animals so much ☺️
Think I would like an e bike for the assistance in this kind of ride.😊
Amy have you never thought of racing coz you have some engine and fitness
I do a bit of racing but I much prefer my endurance rides ~ I get too scared in races of corners, crashing etc…overthink it too much! 😂
@@amy.cycling.adventures you should give hill climbs ago, no crashes there😂
And here I am doing 10km 😢
Noooo don’t be hard on yourself all km/miles are to be proud of ~ if your out riding and enjoying it that’s all that matters 🙌
My tip is two raw eggs down the hatch just before you set off. Obviously you have your normal breakfast before this. I've never had any issues with it. And women gut is exactly same as men's. Put small amount of water in cup then eggs and down it. 2 and 3 hours into the ride you will notice it helping. And then it will become habbit. Protein and salts and fats fuckin yippee
I hate hills.. Rather you than me 🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️😀
