Kyle the only person ever to finish PBP stronger and fitter than he started 😊
Power of the cakes and bananas Lol well done again team Amy! and Co
Its because he has the best taste in pastries! :-)
Hello Amy and Kyle. Great video of your trip Evreux - Ouistreham. And thank's for these images of your stop in my village Beaumont le Roger with this break in front of the pastry shop and the church 😉.
Merci pour toutes vos vidéos 👍
Au revoir, bon voyage, Merci beaucoup 😉 🇫🇷
Amy: "Nige, where are we?"
Nige: "France!"
🤣
Well done Team Derby Mercury and of course Amy and Kyle, awesome ride 👏👏👏
Well done Amy and your gang. I have so enjoyed watching all your films from your P.B.P. trip outstanding cycling and a great documentary film.
You lot are off your sodding barnets 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and I love it 👌🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Pegasus Bridge, I was there, a long time ago, as part of an RE Regt(TA), engaged in the refurbishment of monuments associatied with the Normandy liberation, back in the 1990's. It was a great experience as part of 111 Engr Regt Royal Engineers(TA).
I have watched every video of your PBP adventure. It ´s been fantastic! Thank you all the whole squad. Greetings from Sweden.
tip for future - get some "need to be numb" cream - it's used for tattoos but works in other areas too :)
Thanks for all your delightful videos
Very nice to see you both do these epic rides.
The scenery was amazing. Thanks and congrats
Great series of videos!
I hope the injuries on your dairy air heal as quickly as possible. Blooming’ ‘eck, you , Kyle, and friends are amazing athletes!
Enjoyed every second. Excellent work guys. C’est magnifique.
Another great video. Love the bugle efforts at the end. Hilarious!! Hope the healing continues.
Well done guys... Excellent work...
Great watching your. PBP adventure, well done all of you 💪💪💪👍👌
I've loved watching the PBP adventure. Absolutely brilliant all of you. Everyone did so well. I could watch hours of this. ❤
Super exciting. Hope you have started to feel better now.
Keep the good content coming
Great adventure, the people in your group and the people cheering you on made it extra special 🚴🚴🚴
Splendid video and lovely ending to an epic adventure
Rest and recover let all those tender bits heal up please
Throw that saddle in the bin! Can't wait to see what you are up to next Amy.
Really enjoyed watching your cycling adventures and good luck finding a new saddle and buggle lessons 👍
Have a look at fabric saddles Amy. (the company, not the material) They are a small English manufacturer. I got myself one after having trouble with the typical thin narrow race saddles on roadbikes.
Well done to you both and your club buddies, looking forward to more of your TH-cam content.....from 'ull' east riding.
Great to see Dai in your video - one of the nicest blokes in audax
Well done Amy. Fair play. Can i just say, Kyle is a beast. Many month's ago he was struggling to stay with uou. Now he's riding 1000 miles with panniers. 👍🇮🇪
Yes he’s done amazing!!
Excellent series of vids, Kyle, aka The Beast, looks like he could do it all again. Bakeries in France, you can't go wrong for choice everything tastes scrumptious.
I get excited when shopping for apples (crunchies) too! Had some called sunrise magic awhile back that were so good!
Blimey !! Small world - we had our cycle tour based from Beaumont-le-Roger! Well done again
thats in a lot better condition than my bugle thanks for the vlog of the trip hope your saddle sores healed quickly
Well done young lady
Your accent, your “yippee”, the Maloney reference - hilarious! 😂😂😂 I felt so bad for you when you were crying from the pain! I bet you can watch that over and over and laugh at yourself!!! Thanks for the pure entertainment!!!
Ahh glad you enjoyed it ☺️
This was great! I enjoyed your adventure. In the USA.
Hi Amy thankyou for the video. Katie Kookaburra is the lady you have to talk too.
Back in the 80s/90s we used to use a product called Silcon, made by Faulding, for saddle sores, I think it was actually made for bed sores. For the love of money I haven't seen it around for decades. Perhaps you could search another bed sore cream...
I have absolutely loved watching these PBP videos!! Firstly, hats off to you all, what an adventure and epic distance you’ve covered! No wonder you’re nicky nacky noo’d!!! The French scenery was amazing, such pretty little villages and those boulangeries (however it’s spelt) looked 👌!!
Hope you’re resting up and recover quickly. Maybe next video could be a ceremonious burning of the saddle?? 😬
Ahh thank you so much! It was a dream ☺️ haha that would be fun!
Awesome Amy
Kyle had the best choice of pastries, choc eclair and palmiere (aka pigs ears) yum!!!
Great video coverage of your epic adventure. Well done to Amy, Kyle and all the Derby crew. Special mention to Nige - never far from a beer!
It’s a good job I was out of camera range for PBP. You know they serve wine and beer at all of the controls. 🤔🍺🍺🍺🍺🍷🍷🍷😂
@@Misirableoldgitinamysvideosgreat TH-cam name 😂😂
I want to say that these 2 'coming home' videos were some of my favorites. I loved seeing the whole gang of characters and the authentic, raw feel from everyone after such an epic ride. Nigel is a riot. I'm guessing he doesn't like being on camera much and probably gives you grief about it, but he's a natural and very quick witted. So glad you found such a great cycling club, and that we get to watch bits of pieces of it.
Ahh thanks so much! Glad you’ve enjoyed the videos, he acts like he doesn’t like it but I think deep down he loves it 😂😂
I very much enjoyed watching your two videos regarding your ride at PBP. And I enjoyed watching the two videos you posted regarding your bike ride to the ferry that will take you home afterwards. I was also impressed with the time you pulled off, i.e., 72 hours or so. I've never ridden PBP, and I don't really have any desire to do it since I live in the United States. But I have successfully completed three grand brevets, one a year, between 2017 and 2019. The grand brevet I rode in 2017 had me complaining about my raw backside EXACTLY the way you complained in the last 3 videos of the four that I watched. The secret to not beating up your backside during a long ride is twofold. One, you need a saddle that will maximize the number of contact points between you and the saddle. That translates into a wider saddle with much cushion. You especially want your buns to support some of your weight on the saddle. You don't want all of the weight resting on the area between your buns. Don't worry about extra weight such a saddle will have. The more contact points there are, then the less likely any one point will cause excessive pressure and eventually a saddle sore. And two, you need to pull back on the intensity of the ride. The higher the intensity in your ride, then the more excessive pressure you will create between you and the saddle. I'm not suggesting that you pull back so much that the ride is a leisurely jaunt. But pull back some so you are not racing through the ride. If you do these two things you should not be faced with the pain you were complaining about. Keep in mind that pulling back on the intensity might very well cause you to ride slower in the short term. But I'm sure you lost a bunch of time in the later stages of the ride due to saddle sores and the like. If you pace yourself correctly, then you will more than likely finish PBP the next even quicker with much less pain. Good luck!
Thank you!!
Great ending!
Different anatomy etc etc, but I switched to Rapha shorts (not bib-shorts - although obviously they do those to) and I've noticed a huge difference in comfort levels.
This after PBP in 2019 where I also rode PBP and there and back from Oxford. At Reading I almost got the train (as I was in so much pain), but treated myself to an ice-cream and rode the final distance back to my door.
I've mentioned this to others too and they have also rated Rapha shorts.
Ahh nice!! I had rapha on in this vid and they were comfy 🙌 I bet that ice cream was the best one you’ve ever had!
Really enjoyed your videos. Look forward to seeing Kyle lead the gang in 2027😊
Haven't tried Santini's bibs but found Assos to be super soft and comfy (albeit pricey - worth it though), deffo my favourite pad. Selle Italia gel flow saddles look great for long distance riding. Saddles and bibs are two things not to scrimp and save on! Hope you recover quickly. Well done on completely a distance I can't even fathom contemplating!
Thank you for the recommendations :D
Congratulations for your PBP ! You can also ride a Bikingman. The Bikingman AURA, for exemple.
Whilst your songs are great Amy.... surely your theme tune should be Queen Bicycle Race.... "I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike, I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride it where I like!!!'... I've been out for two days chasing the Tour of Britain, your vids of PDP are inspiring...
Impressive end of the ride. Kudos to Kyle being promoted to ride leader. I presume his enthusiasm is based on his keenness to get back to the ironing..😅 Anyway, great effort, but tuna and pizza is as wrong as peanut butter and porridge, but suppose needs must. 👍 Safe travels and wishing you a speedy recovery from your cuts and sores.
Suggest a saddle with a central cutout. Only way to guarantee pressure relief.
What a fantastic and amazing effort -you’re a real star!!!I assume you’ve seen that GCN are looking for new presenters…….? Bath looks like a lovely place to live!
Now that's what I call pbp with hits such as don't blame it on the pedals , bicycle race and my saddles on fire 😂
"without your bum falling off" - genuine LOL
That’s Pegasus bridge where heroes of the Second World War did amazing brave things!
Talking of amazing and brave you all did brilliantly, you dug deep showed amazing spirit. I loved seeing your adventures 👍
Glad to see you ate in The Phare before boarding the ferry, best restaurant in Ouistreham and a favourite of mine !
Unfortunately the waiters were really rude to us and had to receive a motivational pep talk! 😮
@@Misirableoldgitinamysvideos. Going over in 2 weeks, will have a stern word and a chat with the owner !
@@reneflippe3286 thanks I am sure he will want to know, as long as he is not the elder waiter with a beard. 🤔
Epic.
You'll find that WTB pure saddles are comfy.
Congratulations!! Hopefully less Chamois runs in 2027!! Was nice to catch up with you guys at bib collection on 18th, hopefully meet again in 2027!
Thank you so much! Ah yes great to see you, how did you get on? Hope you enjoyed it!
@@amy.cycling.adventures yes it was fantastic indeed, especially the support from the local people. Was sleep deprived but finished well within time.. 😀
Olá. Vpcê poderia fazer um video dos seus piores momentos, as dificuldades que enfrentou e táticas para vencer essas dificuldades.
Congratulations on a wonderful PBP! Heal up! Maybe LEL?
LEL is the plan 🙌
Love the karaoke Amy! Fantastic achievement by all. Even oldies like Nige!
Oldies that Nige fella is a handsome devil in the prime of his life!!! 😂😂
@@Misirableoldgitinamysvideos Hardly miserable Nige! Always blowing your own trumpet (bugle). To ride that distance is unbelievable. Well done mate!
@@johnavery15 Thanks. PBP should be on every cyclists todo list amazing experience and you don’t have to break yourself like the Children! You can take 90 relaxed hours over it. Get full value for your money. 😏😃
@@Misirableoldgitinamysvideos There speaks the voice of experience!
Heads up for an amazing creme to prevent sores I got from running bear in the Peak District. "Slipstream anti chafe". I'm just back from a tour of Wales in the heat wave. Normally suffer sores on a week long tour especially with heat and climbs using the usual chamois creams - but had zero this time using this new creme. Skin even feels better than normal. Only need a small amount and it leaves no white marks. Used on hands and feet too and no sores there! Very impressed. Was recommended it by Katie Kookaburra who also swears by it.
Thank you!
OK tip for you use sudacream instead of chamio cream it will sorttge sores etc
You can get a saddle fit for £50
My wife had one she tried 40 saddles and ended up with something completely different than the one she was riding
11:00 wow the taco wheel
After a 1200 km PBP I think you're deserving of a big Paris-Brest pastry.
Hi!! another nice vidéo!!
Finally it's not a PBP you have made, it's a 0PBP0...(Ouistream PBP Ouistream), you must be close to 1500 km.
You are incredible, you always have resources and humour after this challenge.
Thank's for this video wichh takes us on a journey with you.
Just a question: Wich brand and model of mudguard flap (blue with logo Derby Mercury) that Kyle and his friends use?
Can Kyle tell me where it's possible to obtain it?
Thank you very much for your immersives videos, to you and your friends.
Have nice rides and take care.
Bernard Randonneur from Brittany (I live just near CP Tinténiac)
Thanks so much for watching they’re SKS mudflaps our club order them directly with the Derby Merc logos on ☺️ and ahh lovely what a beautiful place to live!
Thanks so much for answer!!@@amy.cycling.adventures
Amy, just been watching Katie Kookaburra video, she was out with a friend who'd just done Trans Continental. She took with her "Need to be Numb" cream for Saddle sores.
Might be worth having some?
Ohh thank you!
Thankfully your bum didn't fall off before you got to the ferry.
I bet your on your bike before you know it. Great video
Well done, love your videos. Just out of interest what camera do you use and are you using a gimble when your filming riding? Thanks
A go-pro on a selfie stick ☺️
Thank you. @@amy.cycling.adventures
Amy, wondering what town they’re in: Nige, where are we?
Nigel: We’re in France 😂😂
How long will the PBP number stay on your bike Amy. I’m thinking I’ll keep mine at least till Christmas
Haha yes it’s still on there at the minute 😂
*_PLEASE_*_ get a bike fit before you buy a new saddle_ etc. Excessive saddle height is _most common_ cause of the type of pain you suffered (per James, owner of Bicycle Richmond).
Saddle problems not always caused by the saddle , bike fit possibly? .
I bought an expensive saddle. Gave me terrible pain. Then I bought a leather saddle with springs, and that seemed to work for me..
Just an FYI. You would not believe how much eating an orange can do for you on a tough day. Much easier to digest and the calories will go in fast.
Did you see Katie Kookaburra’s latest video with her friend Nicky, who used tattoo numbing cream on the nether regions during trans con. Could be worth a try for future ultra rides.
Congratulations on such an epic achievement. Hope you’re feeling more comfortable soon.
Yes thank you, defo something I need to get thanks!
Looking shattered. Painkillers have the side effect of making one delirious. It's a good idea to wear your kit in before embarking on a long tour.
Your tour was more entertaining than the entire TdF. Post the bloopers, that would be fun.
Oh for a small fee I am sure we could release the one of Amy herding a bunch of emotional old men to bed. 🤔
I think you should meet Mark Beaumont and go for a ride with him Amy
Another great video Amy but remember...........Don't get between a man and his pie 😂
Haha true!
Amy first stop get a saddle fit, and bed it in !
Gosh who was that Handsome figure in the PBP Jersey riding with you? 😊
😂
"Doooooooooooooonkeeeey" :D
Fella's Amy not Ladies, Congratulations to you all for a great time in France. Amy sings PBP
You can tell why they only run it once every four years.. :). All that mass mental scarring that needs time to heal .. 😀
KYLE
Vaseline!
Amy, you need to get some Cavilon to protect your bottom until it heals. I'd thwack a big lump of petroleum jelly on that sucker but it would've all melted through your bibs LOL
Neosporin. Helps a little with the pain as well
Glad to close the loop with "la belle équipe". Oh, detail, they are not ladies but guys (at 9:00) ;)
Elle as toujours besoin d’une belle pomme croquante.
Have a quick go on Kyle's saddle. They work for a lot of people. Sometimes though females need a bit more room for their equipment.
You def need a bike fit. If you hands numb. You should get a suspension stem.. it will only help so much. You have been cycling insane distances
I’ve rode suspension stems totally useless
I have a redshift suspension stem.. Amazing going to get the seat post next.
I am afraid when you ride 1200kms lots of bits of you hurt. It goes with the territory.
@@TarmaccyclocrossI like them. But you appreciate it more with pre existing injury… if your fit in that department… it does little diff
My God. That sounded like a duck farting in the fog! 🎺🦆💨
Em 2027 vá com aquele selim que seu pai lhe emprestou. Não sei se estou enganado. O Brooks de couro. Tem que se acostumar com ele.
So what saddle does Kyle uses? He don't seems to complain. Lol
He used a Brooks canbium ☺️
@amy.cycling.adventures ahhhh the secret to longevity. See you guys in 2027! Gotta avenge my failure.
This may be of no use and has probably been recommended already.
Saddle library, London
Terrible saddle choice for your ride. Need to start breaking in a Brooks saddle before your next big ride.
I reckon you understood about 45% of what that Welsh bloke said … very strong accent.
Already unfortunatly I don't understand half of what these honorable English people say, so a Welsh guy..... (I'm french)
There is a shorts maker that has no seams…
I have terrible trouble with my stomach and the touch pad on my fuckin laptop. Yep fruit can be the answer, espec apples, pears and some other stuff, its a tricky issue only understood by those who are afflicted.
