Any questions at ALL, ask me in the comments.
I might make a video about your q, or reply directly. So ask away :) Remember I asked how the gears worked on a road bike when I first started riding, so nothing is too daft to ask :)

Enjoyed your video. I loved bicycling when I was younger, exploring small towns on back roads. Now at 80 years I bought an ebike to get back into bicycling. Love the feeling of exploration.
Awesome, enjoy! :)
That's a great idea, I hope you're enjoying it! 😊
FYI Katie I have an ultegra rx rear derailleur it has an clutch … the really important thing for climbers is that it can handle easily up to a 36 tooth in the back without any adaptations…. It has a longer b screw, longer pivot length, and a longer arm than the standard long arm ultegra rear derailleur- I don’t use the clutch component. I just really like it’s wider range capacity… I found that it works far better then a road link and long arm ultegra derailleur.. the shifting with an 11-36 os just as good as a standard 11-32 with an ordinary medium arm Ultegra derailleur
Fun little Friday video. Love your stuff and set up. And love the bike!
Thanks for the share. I saw your video on the Shokz headset and loved the concept. I was wearing ear pieces at work for years and was developing a minor ear infection. After switching to the Shokz, I am better now. Thanks so much for that.❤ Keep up the excellent work!!
Steve that’s mega to hear! They are awesome aren’t they?!! :) I proper love mine!!!
@@KatieKookaburra Have not had a chance yet to use them on my bike (Canada weather kinda put a hold on that) but they are awesome at work. Can't wait to listen to my podcasts on the bike!!!😁
Thanks for the tip about the security lock and another great video. Glad to see that your recovery went so well. Good luck this cycling season and thanks for all the effort you put into your channel. Wishing you all the best.
All the very best right back at you, Jeff 😎😎
Love them light skinny k great vlog skinny k have a great weekend x
"If you 'do-do' that" when talking about toilet paper. I laughed more than an adult should. 🤣
Hi Katie, Just wanted to say a big Hi as your newest sub! I found you after looking at reviews for bikes and you convinced me to order a Ribble Endurance SLR (with RIM BRAKES no less!)
Thanks so much for all your information and for being so honest, vulnerable and authentic! ❤️
Of courrrrse!! Thanks so much for the lovely comment. So so glad - you will ABSOLUTELY love it!! I am in love with mine!!!! :) let me know when you get it and how you get on :)
Ahh I’m super excited to get it. And yes, I’ll let you know when it arrives! 😀
On another note, I’m a new TH-camr and would love to maybe do a little colab with you sometime.
Thanks answering those questions. I can see some purchases coming in the near future. Ride safe 👍
No worries! Well all the stuff in the vid is stuff I’ve invested and used for loads of rides and had for yeaaaars! :)
Hi, had first ride with some Shokz today. Why have I not had these in my life before I don’t know. Sure I got some funny looks laughing out loud to myself listening to podcasts. Cheers
Dug this back up to see how you mounted your light and head unit since I'm buying a "real" head unit soon. The K-edge mounts seem to be highly rated.
Quadlock is phenomenal btw, I've been using it on my motorcycle and bicycle for a long time now. Rock solid.
Video idea: What worked and didn't work for mounting all the gizmos to the bar. I'm wanting to do longer rides and it's certainly been interesting sorting it all out.
Hah! Thanks for the tip about the HipLok. Just what I was looking for.
Lots of good info as I’m looking forward to attempting my first 100 mile ride this year … ta very much!
Thanks great video I'm 57 now two years ago I start cycling round the coast of UK , doing a week at time average 100miles in between job and life commit and training. I have pick loads tips from over the time . Thank you
Thanks for sharing this! ....that's certainly a longer ride than I've ever done, and good insight on how to prep.
Great video Katie. Keep up the riding and your productions.
You look really well winter training in the sun definitely works . Great video.
Great vlog Katie 👍🏻,
some very useful tips that I will be taking onboard.
Thank you
Hi Cockpit or dashboard I think it’s proper I do admire the care you taking your bike clean clean clean very informative video take care Katie.
Thank you miss Katie. Watching you brings back so many great memories i am a long time endurance rider that could no longer ride due to long disease I could do short rides on my heat bike watching you it’s truly a blessing thank you Katie
Great video as usual. Have a great weekend!
Great video as always Katie. I'm doing my first 100 miler on Sunday (on a course I'm familiar with from running in the Cotswolds) and feel confident I'm well prepared after watching your videos. Keep up the great content 👌
Hope it was awesome Wayne!! 😎☀️
The only problem with the hiplok I find, I have 3 of them, is you can feel the correct combination with your fingers as you turn each dial 😳
An informative and enjoyable video. Unfortunately I had to stop cycling a year ago due to knee problems 😂 2 years ago I did 250km in a day. Lots of cycling memories forever. Still keep my bike in the lounge. You have a new subscriber 🙂🚴♂️
Sorry to hear that Simon!! Have you seen a physio or doc about your knee??? :(
@@KatieKookaburra yes, lots. Had keyhole 3 years ago (did 160km the week before) as cycling never aggravated knees until a year ago. MRI 6 months ago, they said take pain killers and swim 😕
Awwww sorry to hear that!!!
Something I include now is a head torch. So handy if you have a bike problem or puncture when it gets dark.
Will definitely check out the jacket Katie. Have a 400 in May and don’t want to freeze during the night! Love the look of Ribble bikes. Keep thinking I should treat myself 😅
Another great video, when is that new bike arriving ?
Soooooon!!! I saw it being sprayed the other day 😋😋😋😋😋
Great video as always what is the mount for your garmin/exposure light
hello Katie! please come to Philippines 😁 It's more fun in the Philippines
Love all your video's Katie :) I too ride with AUDAX but in Queensland, Australia. I'm doing my first 400 next wekend so this has been super helpful to get prepped. Please can you let me know which MAAP jacket you mention? I've been contemplating your Patagonia one but I too also love the MAAP brand and have a discount code from the Zwift challenge which is burning a hole in my pocket he-he
Supporting an event tomorrow. We've hit 30 here already. No problem as it is expected to drop to 10 on Monday. 40s soon! Quite a good demo of what you carry for an Audax. What about shorter rides, say 100km/60 miles?
James, video next week will have what I take on 175km ride :)
@@KatieKookaburra Thank you. It was an interesting weekend here. Lots of Desert Southwest Gravel riding!
Great video - I'm taking your advice and going out on my bike now :)
Do you use any frame protection tape to stop your top tube bag scratching/marking your frame ?
I don’t 🙈
Great vid as always. 👍🏼 Hope you get to make the most of this weather. Cheshire Cat for me on Sunday, if my back behaves. 🥺
Ooooh bit of Mow Cop!!!!!! Enjoy :) hope it went well!! :)
@@KatieKookaburra Define “well” 🤣 I got round, if that counts 😁
Thanks for sharing Katie👍
Spare electric …. Just bought the anker nano pro 2 ( or 3 ) depending where you live. In 3 pin 2 x USBC or 2 pin EU version even smaller. To charge power back up battery.
Noticed you have gone back to the Garmin 1030 and not the Wahoo? Had a change of heart, I thought you preferred the wahoo? I’ve a garmin 1000 but the buzzer has packed in, you don’t realise how much that bleep is useful.
Heeey, long story! Will explain in a video soon. But yeah wanted to try a few options out other than the Roam.

Hi there Katie, informative video as always!
Have you thought about installing aero bars on your bike? Not necessarily for aero gains but just to get more hand positions to mix it up a bit?
Also, am I missing something or do you not pack any tools on your rides?
finally, where did you get those 1 liter bottles from?
She had a multitool and spare tube and pump in the video 😉
@@ecopennylife i must have missed it then... :)
@@andrifsig 7:30 in video 😎
Bottles are SIS from Decathlon :)
Love the natural bright sunlight came in from your window. So refreshing.
May I know what is the extimate weight of bike together with all things you bring?
Awww I have no idea - I take almost 2L of water so that’s 2kg there. Don’t worry about weight - worry about having everything you need :)
@@KatieKookaburra ha ha, true true. See you cycling so fast, think no problem at all. 😜😅
Hi Katie hru going looks like a good setup have a good weekend
Hey Katie just checked out your Patagonia Micro Puffy Jacket. It freaks me out how light it was. And it seems pretty fragile but seeing you ride around with it I’m thinking I might get it this summer. And your right they’re pricey.
It’s SUPER light!!! :) and I thought that at first but they are pretty good wearing. Although I wore it on my MTB and tore a little rip in the arm. Patagonia do free repairs though. I haven’t bothered patching it up - can’t even really see it now anyways :)
@@KatieKookaburra I’ve been looking around my area from Banff to Canmore and my town off Calgary but they’re sold out only a couple left but not in my size. And Patagonia in Banff tells me that they’re redesigning the jacket and might have them out in my area by August. By the way, I still can’t wrap my head around you doing 400 km in a day 🔥🍁🇨🇦👍
Thank you 🙏
Nice thank you, you come across so well
Cheers Peter 😎
What model Strada exposure do you use? Love the videos
Ooooh I will have to check….
And the Hiplok combo….. not a huge fan, it changed combination on its own. I still have one. But have to double check the number each time before use
😢 noooo!! They do have a key one…. But I always worry I will lose the key 🙈
I really fancy you and nice vids. I'm going to be doing my first long distance ride soon. 133 miles 😬😬
Yes grubby bike :) Can never have too many dates, might have a look at those bags. I run a rear rack with top bag and my mates words when I joined him for a ride "you doing an Audax" It is quite bulky when you standing up peddling can unbalance the bike, but its handy as holds my flask and mug. ;)
Well firstly - use whatever you like :) but if you did want to try a different set up Apidura, Topeak, Tailfin are all great for bikepacking bags :)
@@KatieKookaburra thanks Katie
About the water bottle with sugar and water, I use honey and a 75/50 of water and juice.
Only thing I would say is sugar is cheaper than honey - and honey isn’t great for your teeth due to the acids from the bees stomachs
@@KatieKookaburra Interesting however sugar is just as bad for our teeth, anyway it takes 2.84 grams per bottle of water.
I'm gonna be riding my first 100 miler in a couple of weeks, definitely will be using some of your tips to help! What gearing does your bike have?
I am a former distance champion and in 1978 set the American record of 462 miles (743km) for 24 hours. A few years later I paced the great John Howard for the first 300 miles in Central Park N.Y. for his 525/24 with drafting allowed. I have done 100 miles on 30 consecutive days in three different years. I am hoping to shed some light for you guys regarding ultras. Most importantly They can burn your love for the bike up in smoke as I did not ride for a decade after Central Park. About training progressive distances: it does not work for me. Prior to my 24 hr. record, I had ridden 200 miles only twice and neither within a month before. For me, there is something intangible that can get used up by these rides. it is physical, mental and not always easily replenished and not to be inadvertently tapped into in the preparation phase. I often say that my ultra distance ability is like finding that you could be the one who makes the Guinness Book of Records for burning your arm the most times with a cigarette! These distances, again I speak for myself, are not for your health. I would tell tales about my cross America solo rides and was always met with the question that I am sure many of you are met with; What is the farthest you have ridden in a day? My recommendation would be to limit your ultra riding to just a couple per year and the rest of your cycling maybe try to increase your speed and strength, as racing cyclists do, for most of your miles. This may keep your love of cycling alive! Case in point; I am now 70 years old and have not ridden more that 50 miles in a day this year. Last Friday I rode 130 miles and finished with plenty of daylight and good legs.
You sound like a big show-off!
That's a really good insight. I burned myself out and I haven't ridden properly now for 5 years. There's really no enjoyment to do long rides and the cars, well, they just get right on my f..g nerves.
Not sure if you mentioned in your videos or not but i was curious of what tires you use?
Good info, as always 👍🏻
Why thank you!! :)
do you ever use aero bars on long rides?
Nah not YET……
Have you ever weighed all that kit all together? Just out of curiosity? Obviously it can’t be avoided, you have to take it
Nah I don’t bother with weight - just take what I need :)
Do you have a powerful light if you have to repair a puncture and an hazard light in one of the pitch black lanes you ride such as the ones when you rode from London to Manchester, and also are all the mini pumps the same e.g you pump like mad and it takes ages to get enough air in your tyres or is there some with a bit more resistance so it pumps air in more sufficient, thanks
What exactly do you need to get to be able to mount the garmin AND the light? I can find the k-edge mount for just the garmin, but not the other bit?
Be good to get a video on your favourite podcasts 👍🏻
I listen to a few on repeat for motivation 😎😂
@@KatieKookaburra haha well that's good but that doesn't help me listen to them myself...
Interviews with awesome riders, Fiona Kolbinger, Mark Beaumont, Abdullah Zeinab. Search them and listen to any of them :)
Fail to prepare ---- Prepare to Fail (Si from Bath) ps ace vids
Sorry, but if I am going to take a massive shit in the wilds that bogroll is staying there. It's biodegradable
really good info --- thank you.....
Thx for information, what model ear head phones do you use .
Couldn’t quite pick up the name / model
Thank Katie x
Link in the description - they are Shokz OpenRunPro :)
Thanks
I currently use a triangular frame bag from Birzman and place it in between the 2 bottles, velcro'd onto the top bar, preventing swinging to either side while riding thanks to the contact with the bottles underneath. but I doubt if that is the most aerodynamic setup I can come up with since the bag does bulge outwards a bit due to me overstuffing it. Will a top tube bag be more efficient? have you tried my particular setup ever by any chance?
I think you can ease up on the toilet paper. Normal toilet paper takes about 1-3 years to fully decompose. This is longer than most people would guess, but it does take time for those strong wooden fibers to fully biodegrade. Biodegradable toilet paper, on the other hand, will take about 1-2 months to fully decompose. The process for all kinds will be quicker if the paper is exposed to water.
This is such good info THANK YOU! I’m going to get some biodegradable loo roll now! :)
Oooh also I meant to add I don’t ever leave the loo roll out in nature. Never! Always bring it back with me until I find a toilet or bin :) always keep a specific bag to bring it back in.
super!!
If my memory doesn't fail me, you've also got a Tailfin saddle bag. Isn't it good enough for long journeys since you now seem to have opted for Apidura one?
Awww that would be for more bike packing with way more stuff. For days or one overnight Apidura race packs are ideal. For around a week / weeks I would take the Tailfin :)
Found about your channel thru the Audax site. Super useful - thanks for the dates instead of gels tip. Tested successfully today on my second 200k Audax 😁
That's a very light setup. What do you mean by endurance (distance wise)?
I also love my Elite 950ml bottles but they get in the way of frame bags :(
I guess I mean anything above 200km - or anything that might involve night / early morning riding
@@KatieKookaburra thank you for replying!
When you went to Mallorca, which insurance company did you use?
Cool 🔥👍
So where was this Patagonia sample sale?!
I knew a friend who worked there years ago - no more.
@@KatieKookaburra Mates rates are the best
Have you had any updates on the new bike yet? Do you know how much longer you have to wait?
As soon as I get it, you will know 😍😍😍😍😍
Rim 🦂
Doing the Mallorca 312/ with as much support and stops, do you think you need that much equipment? Any suggestions?
You probably don't need this much, as I know Katie is doing more self-supposted rides and this setup is more likely for self supported rides. Do you have a rough estimation of your time you are expecting to complete the 312 kms? If you reckon you will be fast (11-12 hours) then surely no is the answer. But if you will perhaps be riding with the slowest riders then there is some chance that not too much food and drink will remain at the stops apart from some banana skins. In that case some extra stuff might worth it.
Nahhhh - I took a few snacks when I did it and repair stuff. Oh and arm warmers for the start when it’s cold.
You look amazing love your videos.
Cheers Anthony :)
Hi Katie
I love your videos and follow all of them. I'm just looking at getting in to Audax events myself and wanted to purchase myself a quality pair of bib-shorts for the long rides. I know you have mentioned the bib shorts you recommend in a previous video but I can't for the life of me find it again. Can you tell me what the brand of bib-shorts is that you use please?
Hey Paul! :) you will love / hate me for getting you into Audax 🤣 bibs will be different for everyone but my faves are Cafe du Cycliste, Maap, Rapha and Universal Colours!
@@KatieKookaburra Thank you for the very quick response. I'm currently training for the Majorca 312 on the 30th April and I've already done a few 100 to 200 mile rides. After the 312 I'm going to be upping the ride lengths in the UK. You never know, I might meet you on one of the events someday. Keep riding and filming. ;-)
You never know, you might see me in Mallorca 😉😉☀️😎
Minha adorável, gosto muito das dicas.
Riding LEJOG in Sep 22, any tips on multiple day riding or training leading to that point ?
How many extra kg is that? Damn
❤️🔥
Do you take back up (power bank) battery’s to keep your devices charged? Also, why not ditch the garmin and just use your phone, the weight you could save? And you thoughts on Dynamo or not? 🙂🙂
most phones aren't water proof though and you don't get the battery life from a phone like a dedicated bike computer.
Nah I just take the one power bank. If it was a really long one I would take a power bank and Dynamo charger :)
Also using a phone over 300km plus wouldn’t be ideal for me as it souls drain the battery too much I think.
Hi Katie, I know it's different for everyone, but what Bib / pants do you wear on these long rides?
I have a mixture - Cafe du Cycliste, Maap and Rapha are my go-tos. But try on a few different pairs and get the best fit for you :)
Wondering what is the longest you've rode in 24hrs?
What is your training/nutrition like leading up to a big ride?
I am looking to attempt 322/200. 241/150 being my longest.
It was 420km but that was under 24hrs. Also distance depends on how hilly the ride is.
I assume your bike is light (carbon/graphite)? That's what I use for distance. What kind of tires do you use? And rim brakes YEAH! And I swear I'll never ask you what saddle you use ever again...
I have 25s Michelin Power Road 💪🏼👍🏼
@@KatieKookaburra LOL Thanks coach!
I know saddles are very individual but what one do you use? I've had so much trouble with numbness it makes me so nervous to cycle :(
You have to build up gradually. The saddle is not gonna make that much difference. Bibs will. Brooks saddle maybe but depends on your sit bones/pelivs width.
I have a K edge mount. Its held onto my handlebar with a tiny screw and it always loosens up during my ride (very frustrating) and I have to take my garmin off it for fear it will end up in my spokes lol
I’ve never had that, is it the right screw?? Shouldn’t do that!
@@KatieKookaburra it was the screw that came with the mount. Maybe there’s a better screw to use..
Weird Q..where did you get that charging cable with multiple ends?? It looks like it's a sensible length and not crazy long like all the ones I've seen!
Amazon, special :)
@@KatieKookaburra ooh! what brand should I look for please and thank you?
No idea any will do the job :)
Hi Katie, what saddle has worked for you on such long rides?
I have a Bontrager Ajna that they no longer make - but I'm currently looking at s few new ones. I also like the Specialized Power Mimic! :)
@@KatieKookaburra Thanks!
@@KatieKookaburra Just wanted to follow up, I had mine delivered (found it for £15 new!) and it's significantly more comfortably for me as a guy than selle slr saddle. Now I just need a 4h+ ride to test it properly
I'm never tired you girlsplaining things 😂😂😂
I don’t think you know what it means 🤣🤣 Mansplaining or womansplaining -as you put it - is UNWANTED advice. Whereas you clicked on a video of me explaining my set up. So maybe click on other vids next time 😎😎🤣🙄😘
@@KatieKookaburra just joking Katie. I follow your vids couse you provide some good advice and experiences. Unlike some other IG cycling models who ride creaking bike and complain about mansplaining. I get it, everyone likes attention and prefer good one at that. For me (as I don't have IG) content aren't just good looks and pretty pictures. I like real work advice and expirience, as willingness to communicate with your audience. Thank you, Katie.
💪💚
Get you with all your rings on. Don't they add weight ? :]
Att ctear like always have a great WE ciao ciao
Have a great weekend Katie, even Km munchin Cyborgs love a bit of ☀️ & vit D ! 🌏 🦘 🐑
I'm currently stuck at a certain millage on rides and finding it difficult to progress further, any useful tips please?. :-)
Have a search on my channel, loads of building endurance :) and way more detail than I could give in a quick reply in the comments
Determination
Are you allowed to ride with headphones in GB
Yeah i think so …
Looks like you have two exposure lights in the front?
Yeah I talk about them both in the video 🙃🙄
@@KatieKookaburra are you gonna make me watch it again to find out or can you tell me the time mark in the video
i would love to go credit card tour
Which connector did you use for the front light that attaches to the k-mount
It’s the one that comes with Exposure lights 😍
Katie dont suppose you have a link to where i can get the mount for my exposure?….bit of a noob👌
I'd like to share a ride with you.
Очень красиво!
somehow an endurance ride for me is 15+ miles. 😂
My bike is a battleship compared to Katie's bikes.
Katie's hard as nails did 80 miles on Monday nearly did me in.
Need a turbo bike.
