When the random guy at the service station asks, "You going far?" and you just say "Yeah". And TBH 99% of non cyclists wouldn't believe you if you said, " aw just 600 odd miles! " You're incredible. Totally audacious!
He was so so lovely :) thanks so much my friend
Happens to me all the time as well.
Person: What'd you do yesterday?
Me: I went for a bike ride.
Wife: He's being modest. He rode 200 kilometers!!!
Katie, do your Velotoes covers stop water running down your legs into your shoes when no waterproofs on?
Imagine i only cycled 41km and a friend thought it was crazy impossible to cycle that far on pure leg power and i was like no it's not... It's actually easy.
1:33 Katie Butler🤔
That is absolutely stunning. I'm doing a 24-hour cancer survivor's marathon in late July that's going to be grueling and this is fantastic inspiration.
I am not one to comment, but I have been following you for a while and I want to say huge congratulations. What an epic ride. I love how human you are about all of it as well. I want to go on long rides on my own but I am just a bit scared of doing it and your channel gives me the confidence to just get on the bike and do it. Thank you, Katie. 🙂
Becky thank you. If it makes you feel any better I was exactly the same. I used to want to go with others who had routes etc but doing these things solo has given me so much confidence!!! :)
You're a tough one alright! It's good to live in a time that so many people can be inspired by a feat like yours. This is what social media should be. Best to you in your endeavours.
Amazing achievement 💪🏻I managed my longest ride a couple of weeks back, 140km, often wanting to bail and take a shorter route home, I'd think what would Katie do .. plod on and get the job done. So I did. You're a motivation in many ways that extend beyond planet youtube.
Well done that's mega!!! :) Thanks so much x
"Hey, stop scaring the sheep" cracked me up then I got to the part with the gloves. Congrats, very inspiring!
WOW!! Amazing. Well done you. I was riding the emotions with you - laughing so much in places (the marigolds!! LOL), you chatting through your food and ...... tired, barely decipherable rambling..... chatting to your body! Love it....... and then seeing the tiredness, the pain, the mental battle to keep going. Brilliant video. Have a good rest - don't foprget the spa day! :-) Huge inspiration to us all. Thank you xx
So so glad you liked it! :)
Katie I love your honesty. Such a joy to hear and so refreshing. The self talk moments were the best for me especially “I’d rather just go touring” well done! you are a remarkable human. Life is definitely all about the small things xx
Incredible Katie!! So inspiring 🥰🚴♀️
you will have these memories for the rest of your life Katie!!,such an inspiration to all your followers,enjoy and rest well, treat yourself to that spa,you did fantastic !!!😎🚴🚴🚴
Congratulations Katie on completing that monster of a ride. You are incredibly inspiring; not only for other cyclists but to anyone who wishes to achieve any goals in life. We love you. 💕
Congratulations from a little town, Kimberley in BC Canada. My husband has been a faithful follower of yours and is always exited to share your videos with me. He has been anticipating this video since you completed the event. Incredible! Your rides are so inspiring. We purchased 2 quad locks because of your enthusiasm and are mounting them today before a ride in Mill Bay On Vancouver Island today. Love the Marigolds! Looking forward to more adventures. Maybe we will make a video of our next ride😎. Lori and Gord
You are honestly just amazing Katie, especially coming back from so many injuries. Keep on rocking and kicking ass!
I am sitting here watching this in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA just before July 4th. I was born in Yorkshire and I visited all those places you cycled when I was younger - but never on a bike like you just did, and never in 75 hours. Great accomplishment, excellent video, brilliant commentary and an inspiration for us all. Love the channel. Love the grit. Love the Englishness of you. Keep up the great work, Katie and "just crack on".
By hook or by crook Katie, your determination and motivation are really something, the distances you ride are unbelievable, hats off.
Hats off to you Katie for completing it despite the regular Northern weather, pure guts and determination.
Bloody brilliant Katie!! I can’t get my head around that distance & elevation!! You are a machine! 💪 You came through Rothbury!! Wish I’d realised, to cheer you on! Enjoy that spa day!!! 😁
Thanks Lisa! Of all the places Rothbury was my fave. Such a lovely place - think the sun helped but it was so pretty!! :)
Id Rothbury near Rotherham? I think I went through there years ago
@@glennoc8585 In Northumberland 🙂
Woo hoo!!!! I remember when the wind got ya a couple years ago! I am so so happy for you!!!! And thank you for sharing your ride with us! What beautiful countryside...and I love the sheep too!
Congrats Katie, I passed you going north through Ambleside as I was going south. Great video!! Now I just need to work out how your incredible route planning manages to knock 150km off my total?? You're amazing, well done!
Cheers And! Yours was 150km more? Well mine is all on Strava if you fancy a gander. To be honest I did take a while planning the route to make it the best I could possibly get it.
@@KatieKookaburra yeah my route planning leaves an awful lot to be desired! Hey ho still good fun.
This is the 2nd time I've watched this in the space of a few months setting my mindset to cycle further (300km +) and this video has helped me take out key points I'll be able to use in the tough times out on the road. Very impressive, welldone!
I sensed it already when you said "ultra" event. That entailed excitement and impatience but also pain and agony, so it instilled in me a sense of anticipation but also fear and discomfort at how much suffering you were going to endure.
I know I would falter at wrestling with sleep; I need my resting time and I cannot imagine how gruelling it has been pushing against exhaustion.
But you did it anyway, and I got the feeling from the start that this was going to be yours, that was going to be fine.
However many miles you may have ridden, one's greatest achievement will always be lighting it up wherever one is marching through, to bring that lightness and gentleness to people that so need it and crave some of it even in silence.
You do it so splendidly and naturally.
That's your sweetest deed and I want to keep some of it for me, holding it within me and cherish the thought of it when you will have moved on from all of us supporters.
Stupendous effort, exceptional endurance, exquisite editing skills.
And now rest, lots of it, and some well deserved pampering time 😃😄😁🙂 👌👍
🌼🌝
Omg you are one amazing woman! I was in tears when you reached the end in your marigolds, not from laughing but because I was so happy for you. Brilliant!
Thank you Janette xxx
Friendly gas station visitor: you going fah?"
KK: Im just going to nod because you wont believe me how far.
Your will power is just incredible. And I don't just mean on the bike. I could NEVER leave a nice hotel after a few hours and get back out in that rain. Keep that up and you can start asking for the "Katie Rate"!
OMG, I was the one crying there at the end! What a truly amazing achievement. Katie, you are so humble and make so little of it, but you should be SO proud! All that rotten weather as well! Honestly, my jaw just won't go back up! Here I am hoping to do 60k!! You are awesome! x
awwwww this makes me so so happy to share this all when lovely people like you make comments like that! Thank you!!! Ay, 60km is no joke I I remember having to reccey commute which was 60km and slept the rest of the day after it. So be proud of that!! :)
Loved that you stopped in Driffield. My home town! Long way from there now and honestly a little jealous of the cold rainy weather here in Dallas with it being over 36C every day right now. Well done on getting that finished. Looked pretty brutal with all that climbing!
Congrats Katie, total respect and admiration for your determination in slaying this monster. You are a fine human being!
Thanks Stephen :)
Last year bought a mtb after like 20yrs, did some XC short track and marathon races, and later on got an Idea of a road bike and simply bought a second hand carbon beauty from Trek and absolutely fell in love it with it. just week after seeing first video of yours I did my first 100km ride, two weeks later managed to do 100miles (161km) and now preparing for 200km ride in week, or two. Thank you for great vids, motivation and being you;-)
Wow,,, congrats on the ride girl, thanks for sharing,,, and the yellow kitchen gloves did the trick... Awesomeness at its finest... Western Canada Don 🇨🇦
Thought you said Durex at one point and nearly spat my tea out but then realised you were saying GRX😂 After the marigolds I thought you had another innovative use. Brilliant. Absolute class.
You’re a beast. And you made me tear up a tad with you sentiments of nice people. Very true and humbling. Congrats Katie
I have a big smile on my face! Thank you for making my night. A massive accomplishment. Well done!
Chapeau to you miss. I just wont do more than 50 miles now so... I bow completely to your superiority! m
Now that was inspirational, fascinating, beautiful, heartfelt beyond measure. There aren’t many professionally produced adventure programs on TV so moving! Everything I love about your channel.
As someone who used to train daily; 6 months into long covid my body’s been decimated by fatigue, chronic breathing problems, weight gain…. Watching your channel always inspires me with your own grit and determination to beat this challenge. Thank you 🙏🏼
I love it - "I'm not racing" ........2nd woman! Incredible Katie - Well done!
Rob that was a shock to me too!! I wasn’t racing it, I literally was just happy to be able to get around the bugger. So to be 2nd female…. BLOOOODY HELL!!! :)
But honestly I wouldn’t have cared if I was literally the last one back…. My goal was to complete :)
And you did ... In style! 👊
Congratulations Katie for completing your biggest challenge. You have a positive vibe, keep it up.
greetings from Philippines !
well done lass ! good luck to all those at it again this year ..7 days to go ! less beer and less sleep this year !...........
Congratulations Katie, what an adventure and such an entertaining and inspiring watch! So many highlights, the kindness of strangers, velotoze 'wars', bus stop picnics, marigolds and my favourite - sudocrem nose!
Couldn’t have summed it up better myself! Haha thanks so much :)
Chapeau Katie, I bloody hate riding to work in the rain,let alone the North of England 🤩🤩🤩
What an effort. Love the route but could not do that RAIN stuff. Here in mid/south France its so warm ad the best cycling...NO RAIN....Chapeau Katie
Yes, very impressive Katie and you now seem very calm about it all - quite unfazed.
Absolutely amazing!!! I just don't know how you do it...so little sleep, so much rain. I take my hat off to you!!!
Can't help but compare my own mini event yesterday - no rain but wind that tore your heart out. Haydon 100. Haven't ridden 100 miles since my 20s (Haydon 100 is km but there's an extra skyroute and a commute back home to add it up to 100 miles) and nearly gave up on the Killhope climb when I'd just had enough of the wind. We went from doing 50mph downhill with wind behind to doing 4mph on a slight rise into the wind. Great feed stations at my low ebb, and sat at the top at Killhope talking with the broom wagon. But found some resilience to finish. And actually enjoyed the rest of the ride. I'll never reach your standards of epic adventures, but I did at least have my own challenge in the beautiful north. The Military road is often directly in line with the prevailing wind, and of course is Roman-straight. So easy to underestimate the quality of your events - superhuman, not just in distance, height gain and weather but in the mental approach. Tremendous achievement. Bravo.
I love that you're so genuine! It's actually inspiring
Wow. Just...wow. Katie I'm soooo amazed by you, your sense of adventure, your willingness to take on massive challenges, your determination and perseverance. Congratulations on completing this incredible 🚴🌧️🐑🏞️ feat, and bringing us along. So proud of you. 👍🏾🤙🏾💪🏾👊🏾🙌🏾
Thomas!!! Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
I'm loving watching your challenges/ Adventures. Very inspiring.
Hi, Katie I have been watching your channel and must say every time imm left with admiration for you and what you achieve on your bike travels, your narrating is also great and funny, look forward to watching much more of your adventures cheers baz.
The fast cut from the very human momment where you're meeting fans to eating and talking to the camera about Shimano GRX is only something a cyclist can keep up with. 🤣
I so appreciate these videos. I don't film on long rides and rarely take pictures. I blog about them though -- that's just my way of capturing.
Most of my long rides happen in organized brevets (audaxes) with group departs. Sharing the experience with others is great. This video has inspired me to attempt more solo trips. They are harder, but I'd like to see of there's a different kind of satisfaction I get from them.
Thanks always KK.
Cheers Fred :)
Wow you are amazing! Well done! Not going to lie you cracked me up with the Marigolds and hair bobble!
Such an inspiration 🥳🤗
Amazing effort K. The sudocrem nose and Marigolds together would have been some look.... Brilliant video as ever and wow to those views again.
Riding so far and filming it too! Brilliant Katie
You're super! Congrats and thanks for sharing ❤️
I'm a little late to the party here, been watching your videos in order and am trying to catch up after just discovering you in late 2022! I knew that you had succeeded this time, but even so, it was a rollercoaster watching this video and seeing you meet each challenge. Congratulations on tackling this beast of a ride, and for having the strength to come back for a third time! You are such an inspiration.
Awwww Sarah!!! Thank you!! It was a BEAST of a ride and challenge but so so proud of it! :) Are you thinking of giving it a go?
@@KatieKookaburra I would love to give it a try, but alas I live in Canada and am definitely NOT an endurance rider... maybe when I retire!
Unfinished business no more 💪🏼 well done Katie. You're right about the people. I spent 20 minutes in Hawes talking to old ladies playing dominoes, having a bit of banter 😂 it definitely perks you up.
Awwww I love that you did that!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Quite simply amazing, again sneaked past my gaff !! So jealous of the 2 fans in Howden, infact beyond jealous 😫 👍😁
What an incredible ride. You have my 100% respect and admiration. Congratulations.
Love your videos. You are quite the inspiration. They even make me cry and i didn't cycle 800 or so kilometres to bring me in that state.
Fantastic achievement Katie! I was dotwatching your progress throughout your epic journey. A true test of both physical & mental fortitude.
I chuffing loved this film Katie, awesome effort, I felt emotional with you. The almost unexplainable crying at the kindness of other folk - I've had those moments on some events. Very inspiring. The desire to "just get it done". Top effort. Great edit too.
Thank you thank you thank you!! Also kindness of you all - I honestly have had much kinder and supportive comments on here from people like yourself. So thank you! Xx
Why this video got me so emotion. I must be getting old. The solitary ride with introspection and self reflection. Chef's kiss
Cheers Jason x
"Hallo, you going far?" Nods. Haha. You are amazing.
😁 xx
At the rate you're going you'll knock off the entire eurovelo network in a month. Outstanding but also slightly bonkers. Well done.
Excellent effort Katie, hope you enjoyed my neck of the woods in the North East. Bamburgh Castle is a favorite place of mine.👍
Your commitment to cycling is impressive Katie. Just be careful out there alone.
Well done Katie, kudos to you for completing that ride in the time you did it. I was also a participant and it took me nearly two more days to finish it than I expected (last but one finisher). It was extremely demanding, not least starting off with 14 hours of constant rain through the night and next day. I saw you three times on the ride, we were going in the opposite direction each time! Once at Bamburgh Castle, once near Ulpha, and once in the middle of nowhere, maybe near Bewcastle? Anyway, get some well deserved rest before your next big challenge.
Brilliant, well done. To keep going through all that rain for nearly the whole 1000km, beyond words. You've set a great base for everybody who loves cycling. Hope you enjoyed the after event personal treats. PS How did you get home, cycled I bet! Love the videos and a great inspiration.
I definitely didn't cycle back across the Peaks! haha
I was introduced to your TH-cam presence by algorithms a couple of years ago and couldn’t watch them as they seemed to be an “all about me” kind of thing. In the mean time, not only are the movies you make thoroughly entertaining but the experiences and efforts you clearly so enjoy completely inspirational. Lang may yer lum reek! That from an over 70 pedal pusher trying not to fall off the cliff after 100km.
Jeepers that's far! Super inspiring - thanks for the video!
Wow.. Amazing.. Congratulations Katie..
That was the best, most inspirational, most real thing I’ve seen on TH-cam. Marigolds, Sudocrem, mad babbling, unreal mileage. A perfect film. Thank you.
Haha why thank you! x
Katie! Grumpy! Nooooo! The highs and lows of riding a bicycle. Great effort, well done.
This should be on TV. Loved every minute. Katie you are amazing.
Absolutely brilliant Katie, well done. So glad to finally meet you in person, including the Marigolds 🤣 Oh, Steel says hi too 😁
Andy!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhh THANK YOU AGAIN! No idea how much that meant you know :) Thank you xxx
Gotta be honest, you looked like you needed a bit of morale 😂 Glad it did the trick!! 😁Hopefully I’ll get through the ballot next time. 🤞🏼
Awesome Katie. You had me crying with you. ❤
Brilliant. One of your best ever. I shed a tear with you on that one. 😪
Congratulations, a bit late. I fin dthis amazing and so inspiring. Thank you for sharing all the ups and downs. 💜
Amazing...absolutely amazing. I could not do this but you did. Seventy five plus hours in the saddle is incredible. Well done beautiful one!
Thank you Jim!!! x
Excellent!! My sincere compliment and congratulations.
You'll have heard this before but you are such a great inspiration for those of us on our journey to lasting fitness!
Thank you for the inspiration! I’ve got the 328km Chase the Sun North coming up on the 18th June and it will be the furthest I’ve ever ridden. You have such a great attitude to be able to keep going and pushing yourself to the limit. Long distances are such a mental battle and you have amazing inner strength to do what you do. Congratulations on this magnificent achievement, that’s been a few years in the making.
Darren hope you have an awesome ride! :) you’re so right though it’s all mental - honestly and I still have to talk myself into it :) let us know how you get on!! :)
@@KatieKookaburra I’m not in your league obviously, but I will be making a video for my TH-cam channel. So if you want to, you’ll be able to watch me suffer!! 😂
@@KatieKookaburra Well I only went and completed and had incredible legs on the day. Despite a 200 mile headwind! Thank you for the inspiration, watching you make it look easy was the drive I needed. If you fancy watching my video I’ve dropped the link below. But 331km was a bloody long way, so God only knows how you rode 1000+km!!!! 🤯

Well done Katie, amazing effort, and to see you hammer through Calipo's, Pot Noodle's and sausage rolls had my heart fluttering, so dreamy. Chapeau for keeping smiling despite Noah levels of rain, and the Marigold's were a touch of genius.
RAAM and RAW starts in a few days. You are an inspiration!
Absolutely brutal Katie well done.
Simply mind boggling 🤯
Well done Katie, absolutely amazing!!! Such an inspiration and even explaining how your legs weren't sore after a 1000km thanks to your gearing is great, it makes people rethink their set up and not just put up with what they've got and assume the pain is normal ( obviously with the right training too ) Thankyou for yet another great adventure shared.
Simply amazing. I hope one day I can do something similar. Congratulations
Huge congratulations Katie. Great video and been amazing following your APN story and to see you achieve it is wonderful. 🙌🏻
Rollercoaster that! Top work, what an achievement!✌️
What a ride! Superb effort Katie. Great result considering you weren’t racing 😀
Wow!! Absolutely inspirational, thanks for taking us on the journey with you!
Wow, that was an amazing feat Katie! I admire your determination; great inspiration for the rest of us. All the best, Roland
Congratulations. Great to see you hit some of my local roads and town around East Yorkshire, even if it was a bit damp.
Yeah tad damp but Yorkshire is just top!
Wow, thank you for sharing!!!! 😀
wow what an effort Katie well done indeed (Si from Bath)
Thank you! 😊
you should feel so proud. i feel proud for you, well done x
All Points North? Completed it mate!! Congrats Katie, I really don't know how you do it.
Yasssssssss only taken me 3 attempts haha. Got there in the end :) I might not do stuff first try but I’m a stubborn bugger 😎
Amazing! Phenomenal KK. Hard work and reward. Be proud!
Fantactic
Congratulatios Katie!!!🚴♂️💪🤝👏
Bravo, Bravo
Awesome, amazing, inspiring!
Epic! So inspirational. Thank you Katie. One of the best channels on the tube :) x
