Always very entertaining, always very impressive cycling abilities - distance and BIG hills today! I cannot imagine being able to talk as calmly and as well as you when going up that hill at 17:01 ! Kyle was obviously out of the saddle and pushing hard ... meanwhile you were tootling up the hill, casually reading 'War & Peace' by Tolstoy, varnishing your nails, wondering what to have for dinner and chatting casually to camera for KZfaq! Super-woman. The scenery was completely fantastic! (Excluding my comment) The comments under your videos are always extremely positive and a great pleasure to read! People can be lovely on social media - who knew?!

Your route from Lake Vyrwyn to Ffestiniog was part of the Burton to Bala Bash 400 in the mid 1990s. Control in a car park before the descent into Ffestiniog then return to Bala and off to the Oasis cafe, a greasy spoon caravan cafe on the A5 at Oswestry. Some Audax rides run now use some of those roads too. Lots of good riding to be had in Wales. One of my favourite places to cycle.

Hey Amy, don't forget how much extra weight you were carrying off the back of your bike. That's gonna make any incline feel 10 times worse, as you're fighting gravity even more so than usual. You'll be sooooo strong after your tour. 😎💪 At least your Tailfin is rock solid 😁 Poor Kyle's seat pack was waggling all over the show when he was out the saddle 😂 He needs to treat himself and buy one too😉

Here's a tip for you re banana's... APPARENTLY... a not so ripe one before you start, a just right/ripe one when you need it and a really ripe one when you really really need. Good choice jacket potato too, ultra marathon runners eat them for starch.. I wish I was your age again you two... youre so inspiring, but I'd struggle like you mountain goats.... massive well done all the same..
