As a martial artist, I tell my students often, "Know the difference between pain and injury." Kara's experience is definitely one of those times you treat it as an injury and take time to heal... Love watching y'all's adventures!
Kara I started cycling the week you were doing this adventure. I had to walk up hills to get back to my car, I was defeated. That day you posted a picture walking up a hill. I told myself “even Kara walks up hills” You inspired me to get back on and try again. Now I am loving it and riding the hills.
The shower scene had me crying from laughing so hard, best part of the video 🤣🤣🤣 I also love how supportive everyone in the group is with each other! Shows how genuine of human beings you all are and great friendship!
I’ve been a silent watcher for a few years now, but I just loved how everyone came together for Kara at the end. It definitely speaks to her character because you know she would do the same for anyone! Also, the end with her crash had me crying laughing hahaha Love you guys!!
What a precious comment you have given here. Even if they don't get a chance to respond I believe they see how many comments they get and find each one precious. I read the comments because as you, I just Love these two.
Kara, you throw yourself into everything with amazing enthusiasm. Being injured sucks, but you make an awesome support crew member! Allow your knee to heal and remember that no matter what happens, you have all your viewers behind you! x
As somebody who often has knee inflammation (genetics), I have all the respect for Kara for pushing herself through those days. It can hurt so bad. Mad respect! Altho, we all know already that Kara is a badass!
Kara, you are a warrior. Treat the injury to avoid knee surgery. Just being there for Nate and others, you can make more awesome memories. I’ve seen your videos, you are a trooper. Cheer the team on. What fun!!
Sending absolutely lots of love to Kara (she’s incredible), but also let’s have some recognition for Nate! All that biking is not easy!! And of course he’s such an incredible partner to Kara, always being so kind and considerate ❤️❤️
@@amoldytortilla I prolly can’t go thru it. If she was crying in pain, that’s quite different but she was crying cause she was holding others back. That’s nothing to cry about. Save your tears
Kara, seeing you upset and beating yourself up broke my heart! You are such a strong and amazing woman! You’ve accomplished SO much and have really pushed your body. I’m so glad you have such an amazing support system literally pushing you through! This may be my favorite video. So many emotions. I am so proud of all of you! Great team work!
Ahhh Kara, not only are you "part of the team", you're an excellent co-captain with Nate and you're awesome completing a bike ride or supporting your teammates!! Way to go!
@@emilymartin5418 Throwing the obvious fact out there Is not bullying, Just look at his muscle tone, I hope this encourages him to get healthy. Having no body fat or muscular tone is worse than being obese
I said it in the last video and I mean it, I know that you both probably have your frustrations and arguments like the rest of us married couples but the love and support between you both is a breath of fresh air, I know she edits these videos and the little clips of Nate hyping her up and telling her how proud he is which she sees after the excursion and just the fact that Kara is upset that she wasn't able to push herself. Two of the most genuine people I've seen through a screen 💙 much love
Congratulations Kara, you overcame not only the pain, but your fear of holding the team back! Look how they helped you make it to the finish line. I always love watching your videos, because you two make such a good team. Love and Blessings to the whole crew who were with you on this adventure!
OMG CHARLIE!!! So good to see him again. Actually jumped up out of my seat with excitement when I saw him. LOL!!! So proud of all of you for completing this challenge, especially Kara. Way to finish strong. You are an inspiration. Love you guys so much.
Kara, I am so proud of you for what you’ve done already. Injuries happen; please know that the rest of the team are/were happy to have you, whether you’re part of the support crew or biking with the others. Highly doubt you’ll see this comment but have a final bravo from me!
When I used to ride, everyone carried there own extra tubes, tires, changing tools, pumps, etc. Of course, we were roadies. Watching you guys ride, makes me want to ride so bad. It brings tears to my eyes😢
If you can’t get to Tuscany, there’s always RAGBRAI. The scenery’s not nearly as epic (nothing against Iowa, but c’mon… Tuscany?!) and the food might be a bit more “domestic” (🤷🏻♂️), but it’s still a lot of fun. I know ppl who bike the whole way every year, and others who do a few days every few years. It’s about the experience and the fun, not rules.
Wow 3 million! Congrats kara and Nate. Your channel is growing so much. I love all your challenges. Been a sub for years Aww kara you broke my heart when you got hurt. I'm so proud of you
I haven't seen this one before, and I'm stoked! Then Charlie appeared, and I literally yelled out, "YESSS CHARLIE!" You guys have the best times, family and friends! Thanks for sharing!
Aw Kara. It can be so frustrating to have your body stop you from something you really want to do, but you need to take care of yourself! You both are amazing. Great job!!
I think I was meant to watch this video today, because I’ve been really anxious and upset about having a badly bruised wrist and hand after a fall 12 days ago. I feel rubbish about it, and then add to that feeling guilty for feeling rubbish, when I know other people are struggling with worse things. But this reassured me that it’s ok to take a break and rest. Thank you Kara, for your honesty and your humility 💛💛💛
Kara!! You are SO strong for knowing when to get out and when you are ready again, instead of just go through it and possibly hurt yourself further! Not many people know when to stop themselves, but you do. and for that you should not feel bad. i love both of you and hope you had a trip with memories for a lifetime
I cried twice at least and laughed a few times as well. My husband and I love watching your adventures and how you both get thru them with all your enthusiasm and challenges. We love to see all your friends support and challenge you guys. Thanks for putting together a great video for today we truly enjoyed watching!!
This was an extremely rough challenge, I think you more than earned all the kudos that come with your utter sheer open mindedness to just try these challenges and events. Living your life unapologetically is not easy and filming it is even harder. You’re amazing Kara I hope you’re not too discouraged by this cause you’re amazing ☺️
Girl as many miles you done with an unknown injury most ppl willingly can't do a mile without injury be proud of yourself and y'all are awesome I don't comment on a lot I love your channel, Kara your a warrior
Hey Kara, I know how you feel... fell down the steps a couple of years ago and thought I tore my ACL. Pain was so bad I felt like life was over. Woke up one more and rolled out of bed only to fall to the floor in excruciating pain. My wife came running over to help me and I just burst out in uncontrollable tears. Probably because I have never felt so helpless in my life. She got me to the ortho doc who eventually figured out that it was just a really bad gouty arthritis flair up and not a torn ACL. I am way out of shape but had bought a recumbent bike through the pandemic and just recently a Lectric ebike with pedal assist to get back out and on the road. Cheer up! You did great and had a great time with friends and family.
I loved the Tuscany Trail part 1 and 2. There are not many YT videos that have you feeling so bad (for Kara) one minute and laughing like crazy the next minute. Great job to all.
Keep smiling Kara!! You're the best! We're all so proud of you and the whole group too. It's amazing to be able to come on this trip with you guys virtually. Keep it up xo
Such a great video! I love how all your friends from past videos all came together for this, and especially love that they all supported Kara getting up the hill on the last day☺️. You should do more reunion adventures together.
I have problems with my knee when I run or cycle alot. Rolling out the hip flexors rather than the It Band itselfs has been really useful for me. That vibrating foam roller is cool!
Glad I saw this on a large tv! Helps show Tuscsny to the fullest! Kara, you have nothing to be ashamed about! You did your best and thats all anyone can ask for! I'm proud of you (and Nate/everyone else)!
Love you, Kara and Nate! I can’t tell you how much I have appreciated watching your videos through Covid. I’m a big proponent of travel to learn new cultures and see new places. I retired as a teacher to travel more and then Covid hit. Somehow, in all of this, my husband found your Buc ee’s video and made me sit down and watch it. I thought it was special and looked you up to see what else you have uploaded. To my delight, I found the rest of your vlogs and five years worth of travel videos that I could watch to substitute for all the traveling I couldn’t do. One of the first places you went when travel restrictions lightened a little was Rome. And I told my daughter, if they can do it, we can do it. So in February 2022, my daughter and I went to Rome, Florence, Sienna and Montalcino. My husband and I are going to the Galapagos in five weeks and can’t wait. We watched all of your Vlogs of the Galapagos and I turned to him and said that’s what I’ve always wanted to do. I had two places, two big places, on my bucket list and the Galapagos was one of them. We booked exactly the same trip that you took and can not wait to go. Thank you for all that you’ve done for all of us frustrated travelers. I’m only one year into your videos and every time I sit down to watch I am just amazed at your video quality and stories and ability to tell your tale.
“…yeah don’t have any fun” Spoken like a true wife 🤣🤣🤣 Love the video and it is important you guys show it is not all fun and games. I’m glad Kara took it seriously and decided to heal and be healthy first. Such an inspiration! 👍🏻🎉
I absolutely love that this was 43 min long. I started to get sad when I realized the video was about to end, then I tapped the screen to see how many minutes were left and saw there were still a whole other 23 min to go. I love following along on all of your adventures!
Send my wishes to Kara, I hope she starting feeling better right after she finished. Great Videos guys I can’t wait to see what’s next, i took a month break from y’all but I can’t wait to see more and more of y’all’s content!!!!!
First, what an amazing experience with such a wonderful group of people including the support team that made the stop-overs so amazing; also to see you all pushing Kara through the last kilometres. Incredible...!
Kara, I’m currently walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain and dealing with knee pain myself. I’m feeling just how you felt, and watching you go through this validated how I’ve been feeling. Thanks for always as sharing….and so happy to see Charlie back!
This is releasing one week before my very first RAGBRAI, of which you guys inspired me to take the plunge and finally do! The timing is something else ❤ If I surivive, you may have convinced me to also try out the Tuscany Trail next year😄 Thank you guys, you are an amazing team!!
It is okay to not push yourself when you are in that much pain! I road my mountain bike on the centuries that we did because the gears are easier on my knees! Oh but the food! You guys had a fabulous adventure! Thank you for sharing!
I live for the super long videos. I enjoy watching you guys so much. Love you Kara & Nate! Stay safe but most importantly keep having fun and living life.
We will all agree that you never disappointed them and us because you are always so strong and enthusiastic. When we watch you guys light up our day and make it so much better! You are so amazing and will always be cared for and loved! We love you guys!
Bring injured is so mentally difficult because your brain wants and needs to do it but your body can’t. I’m glad you mentally bounced back with the support crew and don’t beat yourself up in the future. If anything spend that time preparing yourself for the next physically challenging adventure!! You rock, Kara!
You are entitled to feel disappointed especially when you have accomplished so much! You are inspiring… both of you and we all are your support crew too!! ❤️
@@krisersn3092 using your time to leave comments like this can not possibly be rewarding in any way. I see you leave nasty comments on other videos of theirs too. Can't tell you how to live your life, but you should go about finding something meaningful to do rather than trying to break others down.
I absolutely loved this video! The entire team was so awesome!!! The support. The love and the hard work was amazing to see! Good job everyone! I love how real these videos are!
I’m sorry you got hurt. I know how frustrating it is to have such high expectations for yourself, only to have your body betray you. I’m so invested in y’all’s story. You two remind me of my husband and I when we first got married. Unfortunately, we never went abroad, but we do travel extensively. My favorite times are setting the UPS to avoid highways. We could end up lost somewhere in northern Wyoming or Oregon, seeing amazing sunsets in places most people miss. Once we went to a drum corp rehearsal, a music museum, Corn Palace, the 1820s town, the Badlands, Wall, hiked around Devils Tower, and took a nap in Yellowstone, all in one three day trip. It was phenomenal! The connection and love you two share is so far beyond typical benefits of marriage. You actually LIKE each other. The times between the laughter and life. The quiet times, when everything is said in only the silence and heartbeats. You have the stuff needed to celebrate your 50th anniversary. The one that gets you in the paper with a list of grandkids next to a reprint of your wedding day. The stories you will tell! Thank you for taking us around the world with you.
To Kara: For those of us who are very goal oriented we learn to depend on our Will Power to power our way through difficulty... especially if we’re still in our 20s. In our 20s, we’re made out of rubber; we bounce back from any physical abuse we challenge our body with. Eventually we learn will power has its limits... especially when we hit our 30s. In our 30s we’re no longer made of rubber and moving forward, we learn to think things through, strategize, and most importantly, learn to accept when will power alone isn’t enough to see us through. Congratulations, you’ve crossed an important and valuable watershed in your growth.
Kara you did amazing, the fact that you are up to do any adventure with Nate and your friends and put your body up to the test every time is amazing in itself❤️
What an amazing adventure in Italy! It felt like riding with you up and down the dirt roads, feasting on pasta, gelato and chocolate croissants. Love, love, love your life adventures.
Actually if your knee hurts while pedaling - it may be because the seat setting is to low or too high. There should be a springiness on each turn of the pedal, if it's not there - try a different setting. The rule of thumb (or rather butt) is standing on heel with the pedal in the lowest position. Your cheek should be touching the surface of the seat. If it's not - change the setting.
Eeeek! All our favorite characters! As if it weren't an A Team already, Charlie materializes out of thin air!! Phenomenal video, adventure, cast and crew! And, Kara, we love you.
What an amazing adventure and accomplishment!! I absolutely love your spirit that stays strong no matter what comes along. Well done, and thanks so much for taking us along.
This vlog made my week. I've been thinking about Charlie and wondering what he's been up to, and here he is. Obviously this is in the past but I feel like I manifested him... I blame rewatching all your old vlogs from the beginning 🤣🤣🤣
Omg! So love Italy!!!❤️. Watched your Colorado trail vids, so this is a good sequel!!! ❤️. It’s an understatement to say that the scenery is amazing!!!!
Always remind yourself how great your body is and how hard it is working and caring for us - every cell in our body is trying to protect and heal us. When it's giving us signs we should at any chance listen to it and give it a rest. Despite all the pain and sadness, dear Kara, you are living a life many people only can dream of - it's like 50 lives in one. Much love.
That disappointment is so relatable. When you want to keep pushing and be at a 100%, but your body is like "nope". I think it takes a lot of maturity to actullay set boundaries for yourself, and good on you for taking care of yourself! Love your videos, take care!
hey kara! idk if you’ll read this but i just found out that normal bike seats were not made for women!! they are made for men and when women ride on them it can cause hip&knee injuries!!!! and it can be detrimental!! so don’t be upset when you think you’re not tough enough! you are it’s just you’re not using a product that was made for you!! the womens bike seats are more wide and have more cushion since use women we sit on our soft tissue where as men don’t! so it provides us more support and there can even be a mesh “window” at the bottom for ventilation🤤! and the back part is actually wide enough for our hips and to be able to actually sit on our buttocks!!! i hope this helps you!!!! if you want to do more bike riding i suggest you get a nice bike seat for women!!!🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Kara, you ROCK!!! You've done sooooo much since you and Nate started this channel. I've watched every single video and for you to not make it on one extremely tough adventure is nothing. You are one tough and strong (mentally and physically) woman!! You give every adventure all you got, very few people can compare to all you've done!! I believe I speak for everyone in saying we love you whether you finish or not. What counts is you started and you tried with all your heart!!! I totally enjoy watching all your adventures!! Rock on Nate & Kara 🤩😍👍🏼 You both are Awesome!!
That first villa gave us memories of the one in Ripa! We expected Jerome to be on his floaty during that pool drone shot 😂 What an adventure y’all had; loved every second of it! Kudos to Kara for having her priorities straight at the finish line 🍾
I LOVED everything about this video!! Beautiful views, great people, funny moments and tender ones, and awesome TEAMWORK!! I was cracking up at the shower scene. 🤣 Kara, so glad you made it to the finish with a bang! 😆 Congrats on the ride all!!
Kara, speaking from experience, you've put your knees through some extreme conditions just over the past year, similar to what I was doing at your age and 'pushed through the pain'. I'm 70 now and I can't walk without a lot of pain. I've been this way for over 20 years. All from over use of my knees and not caring for them and waiting too long to see a doctor (especially a Sports Medicine doctor and Orthopedic Surgeon)
@@leaflover3497 Mine are from a lifetime of working on my feet, running, climbing, biking, being loose jointed and knock-kneed. (and at 70, overweight)
The whole video: The end: Kara wrecked a foot before the finish line. Aw that was such a great episode! I’m glad Kara is ok and that it was probably a temporary injury due to the seat/pedal height. Man what a difference it can make to the group dynamic for someone else to pop in. It felt like a big party atmosphere when Charlie arrived. How absolutely lovely were so many of the beautiful Italian people that you met along the way. The lady with the cherries 🍒💕🥰💕😊💕 This was a beautiful and heartwarming series to watch. Thanks for bringing us the best of times before what is likely the end of days. Xx
Wow Italy 🇮🇹 is making Iowa look like a breeze. Am I the only person on the Internet who feels a little bit out of place watching the INTIMACY between You TWO. You share something VERY SPECIAL: together.
As a martial artist, I tell my students often, "Know the difference between pain and injury." Kara's experience is definitely one of those times you treat it as an injury and take time to heal... Love watching y'all's adventures!
my dad was a doctor, he'd used to say the same thing.
I think hes gonna divorce her over this to hide that she was his beard all along

As almost a third-degree black belt(I’ve been training for exactly 11 years this month) in spite of three diagnoses, I concur.
@@isaacharvey451 Kudos on your training. I'm a 3rd dan myself...
Omg Dusty saying the thing about Kara not needing to make up for anything was SO SWEET!!
So sweet!
He does come across as a chill..laid back sweet guy though x
He’s probably getting it in with Kara behind nate’s back!
Kara I started cycling the week you were doing this adventure. I had to walk up hills to get back to my car, I was defeated. That day you posted a picture walking up a hill. I told myself “even Kara walks up hills” You inspired me to get back on and try again. Now I am loving it and riding the hills.
You have no idea how happy you just made me!!!! Thank you for sharing this. I am so proud of you ❤😃
Don't forget, after every up hill is a downhill.
Don’t forget life is a gift, if you spend it bad then it ends bad, but if you have a positive mindset and mental state your life were be better
The shower scene had me crying from laughing so hard, best part of the video 🤣🤣🤣 I also love how supportive everyone in the group is with each other! Shows how genuine of human beings you all are and great friendship!
On tele messenger..
The best🤣🤣
I feel so bad for Kara because she just wants to make people happy but she struggles sometimes and she tries her best
I was laughing so much
I’ve been a silent watcher for a few years now, but I just loved how everyone came together for Kara at the end. It definitely speaks to her character because you know she would do the same for anyone!
Also, the end with her crash had me crying laughing hahaha
Love you guys!!
What a precious comment you have given here. Even if they don't get a chance to respond I believe they see how many comments they get and find each one precious. I read the comments because as you, I just Love these two.
Couldn't have said it better
That’s the most true thing about them I’ve ever heard you could have never said it better love how amazing you are and how encouraging you are to them

Agreed!! 💯❤️#davesandersstepdaughter 🇺🇲

I began sobbing while everyone's trying to push Kara. What a team. Definitely a squad goals. Congratulations guys 👏
Kara, as my mom always says “you only get one body” so I’m proud of you for listening to it!! Those knees of yours have to last you another 60 years!

Such a great video! I love how all your friends from past videos all came together for this, and especially love that they all supported Kara getting up the hill on the last day☺️. You should do more reunion adventures together.
That last day where everyones helping Kara just brought tears to my eyes! You guys are the best!
Thanks!
I have problems with my knee when I run or cycle alot. Rolling out the hip flexors rather than the It Band itselfs has been really useful for me.
That vibrating foam roller is cool!
Congratulations to the whole Gang and great to see Charlie again. Love when you all adventure together.
Kara don't be sad. You need to listen to your body. You and Nate have such a great outlook and it's so sweet how supportive Nate is
Glad I saw this on a large tv! Helps show Tuscsny to the fullest!
Kara, you have nothing to be ashamed about! You did your best and thats all anyone can ask for! I'm proud of you (and Nate/everyone else)!
Love you, Kara and Nate! I can’t tell you how much I have appreciated watching your videos through Covid. I’m a big proponent of travel to learn new cultures and see new places. I retired as a teacher to travel more and then Covid hit. Somehow, in all of this, my husband found your Buc ee’s video and made me sit down and watch it. I thought it was special and looked you up to see what else you have uploaded. To my delight, I found the rest of your vlogs and five years worth of travel videos that I could watch to substitute for all the traveling I couldn’t do. One of the first places you went when travel restrictions lightened a little was Rome. And I told my daughter, if they can do it, we can do it. So in February 2022, my daughter and I went to Rome, Florence, Sienna and Montalcino. My husband and I are going to the Galapagos in five weeks and can’t wait. We watched all of your Vlogs of the Galapagos and I turned to him and said that’s what I’ve always wanted to do. I had two places, two big places, on my bucket list and the Galapagos was one of them. We booked exactly the same trip that you took and can not wait to go. Thank you for all that you’ve done for all of us frustrated travelers. I’m only one year into your videos and every time I sit down to watch I am just amazed at your video quality and stories and ability to tell your tale.
Its 1am in Australia, absolutely love watching your videos, hope everyone had a lovely time! 😁😁
Yes lol
So
Same here
“…yeah don’t have any fun”
Spoken like a true wife 🤣🤣🤣
Love the video and it is important you guys show it is not all fun and games. I’m glad Kara took it seriously and decided to heal and be healthy first. Such an inspiration!
👍🏻🎉
I absolutely love that this was 43 min long. I started to get sad when I realized the video was about to end, then I tapped the screen to see how many minutes were left and saw there were still a whole other 23 min to go. I love following along on all of your adventures!
Ooooooh you get a surprise
Thanks
Kara you did your best and your body was telling you it’s enough! Great job for always going the distance!
Send my wishes to Kara, I hope she starting feeling better right after she finished. Great Videos guys I can’t wait to see what’s next, i took a month break from y’all but I can’t wait to see more and more of y’all’s content!!!!!
First, what an amazing experience with such a wonderful group of people including the support team that made the stop-overs so amazing; also to see you all pushing Kara through the last kilometres. Incredible...!
Kara, I’m currently walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain and dealing with knee pain myself. I’m feeling just how you felt, and watching you go through this validated how I’ve been feeling. Thanks for always as sharing….and so happy to see Charlie back!
Oh Kara don’t cry you’ve got nothing to prove your such an inspiration and so strong xxx
This is releasing one week before my very first RAGBRAI, of which you guys inspired me to take the plunge and finally do! The timing is something else ❤ If I surivive, you may have convinced me to also try out the Tuscany Trail next year😄 Thank you guys, you are an amazing team!!
Hope you have the best time! I'm from IA and have helped with Ragbrai in the past!! Soo much fun!!
@@ValerieEger thank you!! I'm very much looking forward to it, just worried about my butt hurting too much 😂
Goodluck Kailyne. 🌷
It is okay to not push yourself when you are in that much pain! I road my mountain bike on the centuries that we did because the gears are easier on my knees!
Oh but the food! You guys had a fabulous adventure! Thank you for sharing!
I live for the super long videos. I enjoy watching you guys so much.
Love you Kara & Nate! Stay safe but most importantly keep having fun and living life.
We will all agree that you never disappointed them and us because you are always so strong and enthusiastic. When we watch you guys light up our day and make it so much better! You are so amazing and will always be cared for and loved! We love you guys!
Bring injured is so mentally difficult because your brain wants and needs to do it but your body can’t. I’m glad you mentally bounced back with the support crew and don’t beat yourself up in the future. If anything spend that time preparing yourself for the next physically challenging adventure!! You rock, Kara!
You are entitled to feel disappointed especially when you have accomplished so much! You are inspiring… both of you and we all are your support crew too!! ❤️
We will always be happy for you, and we will always be proud of you for always doing your best Kara!
Nate is going to use this to divorce her
@@krisersn3092 using your time to leave comments like this can not possibly be rewarding in any way. I see you leave nasty comments on other videos of theirs too. Can't tell you how to live your life, but you should go about finding something meaningful to do rather than trying to break others down.
@@krisersn3092 Stfu your just jealous they’re in a happy relationship and you’re alone because no one likes you.
Way to go, Kara! The best parts of the journey usually come from the lessons we learn as the result of disappointments.
I absolutely loved this video! The entire team was so awesome!!! The support. The love and the hard work was amazing to see! Good job everyone! I love how real these videos are!
@Jacksondereck stop writing slimy comments to everyone with a female name, creep.
I need the support that Nate and Kara give each other. That's all I want in life

I’m sorry you got hurt. I know how frustrating it is to have such high expectations for yourself, only to have your body betray you. I’m so invested in y’all’s story. You two remind me of my husband and I when we first got married. Unfortunately, we never went abroad, but we do travel extensively. My favorite times are setting the UPS to avoid highways. We could end up lost somewhere in northern Wyoming or Oregon, seeing amazing sunsets in places most people miss. Once we went to a drum corp rehearsal, a music museum, Corn Palace, the 1820s town, the Badlands, Wall, hiked around Devils Tower, and took a nap in Yellowstone, all in one three day trip. It was phenomenal! The connection and love you two share is so far beyond typical benefits of marriage. You actually LIKE each other. The times between the laughter and life. The quiet times, when everything is said in only the silence and heartbeats. You have the stuff needed to celebrate your 50th anniversary. The one that gets you in the paper with a list of grandkids next to a reprint of your wedding day. The stories you will tell! Thank you for taking us around the world with you.
I have been excited for these videos. It is like when some of your favorite characters return to an episode of a show you love.
Felt like I was there with you at the finish line. I was so happy. So, so happy for you all. Amazing.
Kara´s positive vibes are just amazing!!
To Kara: For those of us who are very goal oriented we learn to depend on our Will Power to power our way through difficulty... especially if we’re still in our 20s. In our 20s, we’re made out of rubber; we bounce back from any physical abuse we challenge our body with. Eventually we learn will power has its limits... especially when we hit our 30s.
In our 30s we’re no longer made of rubber and moving forward, we learn to think things through, strategize, and most importantly, learn to accept when will power alone isn’t enough to see us through.
Congratulations, you’ve crossed an important and valuable watershed in your growth.
Kara you did amazing, the fact that you are up to do any adventure with Nate and your friends and put your body up to the test every time is amazing in itself❤️
What an amazing adventure in Italy! It felt like riding with you up and down the dirt roads, feasting on pasta, gelato and chocolate croissants. Love, love, love your life adventures.
Actually if your knee hurts while pedaling - it may be because the seat setting is to low or too high.
There should be a springiness on each turn of the pedal, if it's not there - try a different setting.
The rule of thumb (or rather butt) is standing on heel with the pedal in the lowest position.
Your cheek should be touching the surface of the seat. If it's not - change the setting.
That ending of Kara crashing at the finish line had me laughing in the best way haha! I love her!
Kara seeing you upset broke my heart. I’m glad you made it to the end 👏🏼 👏🏼 So proud of all of you. Good job guys!
Eeeek! All our favorite characters! As if it weren't an A Team already, Charlie materializes out of thin air!! Phenomenal video, adventure, cast and crew! And, Kara, we love you.
What an amazing adventure and accomplishment!! I absolutely love your spirit that stays strong no matter what comes along. Well done, and thanks so much for taking us along.
This vlog made my week. I've been thinking about Charlie and wondering what he's been up to, and here he is. Obviously this is in the past but I feel like I manifested him... I blame rewatching all your old vlogs from the beginning 🤣🤣🤣
Omg! So love Italy!!!❤️. Watched your Colorado trail vids, so this is a good sequel!!! ❤️. It’s an understatement to say that the scenery is amazing!!!!
Always remind yourself how great your body is and how hard it is working and caring for us - every cell in our body is trying to protect and heal us. When it's giving us signs we should at any chance listen to it and give it a rest. Despite all the pain and sadness, dear Kara, you are living a life many people only can dream of - it's like 50 lives in one. Much love.
That disappointment is so relatable. When you want to keep pushing and be at a 100%, but your body is like "nope". I think it takes a lot of maturity to actullay set boundaries for yourself, and good on you for taking care of yourself! Love your videos, take care!
hey kara! idk if you’ll read this but i just found out that normal bike seats were not made for women!! they are made for men and when women ride on them it can cause hip&knee injuries!!!! and it can be detrimental!! so don’t be upset when you think you’re not tough enough! you are it’s just you’re not using a product that was made for you!! the womens bike seats are more wide and have more cushion since use women we sit on our soft tissue where as men don’t! so it provides us more support and there can even be a mesh “window” at the bottom for ventilation🤤! and the back part is actually wide enough for our hips and to be able to actually sit on our buttocks!!! i hope this helps you!!!! if you want to do more bike riding i suggest you get a nice bike seat for women!!!🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I love when Charlie shows up. He just increases the entertainment by ten, and also he brings all the people to the yard. 😂
Challenging ride but hopefully the amazing scenery and good friends made it worth it! So great to see Charlie again!
It brought me to tears to watch the team take turns pushing Kara. Love this group of awesome people!
Kara, you ROCK!!! You've done sooooo much since you and Nate started this channel. I've watched every single video and for you to not make it on one extremely tough adventure is nothing. You are one tough and strong (mentally and physically) woman!! You give every adventure all you got, very few people can compare to all you've done!! I believe I speak for everyone in saying we love you whether you finish or not. What counts is you started and you tried with all your heart!!! I totally enjoy watching all your adventures!! Rock on Nate & Kara 🤩😍👍🏼 You both are Awesome!!
That first villa gave us memories of the one in Ripa! We expected Jerome to be on his floaty during that pool drone shot 😂 What an adventure y’all had; loved every second of it! Kudos to Kara for having her priorities straight at the finish line 🍾
I LOVED everything about this video!! Beautiful views, great people, funny moments and tender ones, and awesome TEAMWORK!! I was cracking up at the shower scene. 🤣 Kara, so glad you made it to the finish with a bang! 😆 Congrats on the ride all!!
Kara, speaking from experience, you've put your knees through some extreme conditions just over the past year, similar to what I was doing at your age and 'pushed through the pain'. I'm 70 now and I can't walk without a lot of pain. I've been this way for over 20 years. All from over use of my knees and not caring for them and waiting too long to see a doctor (especially a Sports Medicine doctor and Orthopedic Surgeon)
I deal with the same thing. It sucks having stupid knees that hurt all the time.
@@leaflover3497 Mine are from a lifetime of working on my feet, running, climbing, biking, being loose jointed and knock-kneed. (and at 70, overweight)
@@leaflover3497 I feel for you. I hope you find a way to get some relief in the future.
I love that she can show her emotions and explain her feelings. It makes me feel better for having my big emotions too.
The whole video:
The end: Kara wrecked a foot before the finish line.
Aw that was such a great episode! I’m glad Kara is ok and that it was probably a temporary injury due to the seat/pedal height.
Man what a difference it can make to the group dynamic for someone else to pop in. It felt like a big party atmosphere when Charlie arrived.
How absolutely lovely were so many of the beautiful Italian people that you met along the way. The lady with the cherries 🍒💕🥰💕😊💕
This was a beautiful and heartwarming series to watch.
Thanks for bringing us the best of times before what is likely the end of days. Xx
I love the longer format!!!! Well done to everyone!
Wow Italy 🇮🇹 is making Iowa look like a breeze. Am I the only person on the Internet who feels a little bit out of place watching the INTIMACY between You TWO. You share something VERY SPECIAL: together.
