Kyle the only person ever to finish PBP stronger and fitter than he started 😊

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.

I have watched every video of your PBP adventure. It ´s been fantastic! Thank you all the whole squad. Greetings from Sweden.

You lot are off your sodding barnets 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and I love it 👌🏻👏🏻👌🏻

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. 👍🇮🇪

Very nice to see you both do these epic rides.

Enjoyed every second. Excellent work guys. C’est magnifique.

I've loved watching the PBP adventure. Absolutely brilliant all of you. Everyone did so well. I could watch hours of this. ❤

Really enjoyed watching your cycling adventures and good luck finding a new saddle and buggle lessons 👍

I hope the injuries on your dairy air heal as quickly as possible. Blooming’ ‘eck, you , Kyle, and friends are amazing athletes!

The scenery was amazing. Thanks and congrats

Another great video. Love the bugle efforts at the end. Hilarious!! Hope the healing continues.

Great series of videos!

Thanks for all your delightful videos

Super exciting. Hope you have started to feel better now. Keep the good content coming

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.

Great adventure, the people in your group and the people cheering you on made it extra special 🚴🚴🚴

Great watching your. PBP adventure, well done all of you 💪💪💪👍👌

Well done guys... Excellent work...

Well done to you both and your club buddies, looking forward to more of your KZfaq content.....from 'ull' east riding.

tip for future - get some "need to be numb" cream - it's used for tattoos but works in other areas too :)

I get excited when shopping for apples (crunchies) too! Had some called sunrise magic awhile back that were so good!

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 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?? 😬

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

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!

Great to see Dai in your video - one of the nicest blokes in audax

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!!!

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.

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).

Awesome Amy

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!

Well done young lady

This was great! I enjoyed your adventure. In the USA.

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!

Hi Amy thankyou for the video. Katie Kookaburra is the lady you have to talk too.

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.

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.

Really enjoyed your videos. Look forward to seeing Kyle lead the gang in 2027😊

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.

Epic.

Congratulations for your PBP ! You can also ride a Bikingman. The Bikingman AURA, for exemple.

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 👍

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...

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!

Kyle had the best choice of pastries, choc eclair and palmiere (aka pigs ears) yum!!!

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...

Love the karaoke Amy! Fantastic achievement by all. Even oldies like Nige!

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!

Glad to see you ate in The Phare before boarding the ferry, best restaurant in Ouistreham and a favourite of mine !

Suggest a saddle with a central cutout. Only way to guarantee pressure relief.

11:00 wow the taco wheel

You'll find that WTB pure saddles are comfy.

OK tip for you use sudacream instead of chamio cream it will sorttge sores etc

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.

Congratulations on a wonderful PBP! Heal up! Maybe LEL?

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

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 😂

I bet your on your bike before you know it. Great video

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)

Olá. Vpcê poderia fazer um video dos seus piores momentos, as dificuldades que enfrentou e táticas para vencer essas dificuldades.

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?

Thankfully your bum didn't fall off before you got to the ferry.

"without your bum falling off" - genuine LOL

After a 1200 km PBP I think you're deserving of a big Paris-Brest pastry.

*_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? .

Amy, wondering what town they’re in: Nige, where are we? Nigel: We’re in France 😂😂

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

Vaseline!

"Doooooooooooooonkeeeey" :D

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.

I bought an expensive saddle. Gave me terrible pain. Then I bought a leather saddle with springs, and that seemed to work for me..

KYLE

How long will the PBP number stay on your bike Amy. I’m thinking I’ll keep mine at least till Christmas

I think you should meet Mark Beaumont and go for a ride with him Amy

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.

Amy first stop get a saddle fit, and bed it in !

Fella's Amy not Ladies, Congratulations to you all for a great time in France. Amy sings PBP

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.

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

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.

Glad to close the loop with "la belle équipe". Oh, detail, they are not ladies but guys (at 9:00) ;)

You can tell why they only run it once every four years.. :). All that mass mental scarring that needs time to heal .. 😀

Another great video Amy but remember...........Don't get between a man and his pie 😂

Gosh who was that Handsome figure in the PBP Jersey riding with you? 😊

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

Elle as toujours besoin d’une belle pomme croquante.

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

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.

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.

There is a shorts maker that has no seams…
