Kyle's an absolute trooper for sitting through all the questions - you can just see his thought bubble = pie, an easy chair and a bit of telly, then bed!

Thank you Amy and Kyle it was great to follow your whole journey of PBP including the qualifying. Well done both you did it in a fantastic time! Your videos brought back great memories of the event, see you in 27!

New adventure tips: 315km Vätternrundan Sweden. Approx 17 000 participants. Very well organized. Or: Trondheim - Oslo Norway 565km. A lot rougher than Vätternrundan in all aspects.

Just catching up on the videos after a holiday and just want to say thank you for just a fantastic vid.What a team you both are and such ambassadors for the sport.

Very well done you 2 👍😺.

Thanks for those insights Amy and Kyle. Ive really enjoyed following your progress during this trip

Well done you two. Amazing effort.

Today while riding I realised I had caught Amyitis as passing a field of sheep I heard myself shout out in a high pitched voice Hello Sheepeeee!

LOL Kyle waits until 14 miles to go to have a meltdown that is so funny and I have heard many ultra endurance racers tell of hallucinating at night from being sleep deprived. Good to see you smiling and happy Amy lovely video as always. I can''t wait to see what you do next. All the best ant TTFN back to ya!

Poor Kyle's eyes rolling over to the phone clock thinking pie, pie, pie but soldering on to question dix! Thanks for sharing that one Amy. KZfaq gold

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, excellent efforts both of you.

I love all your videos. Amazing. Thanks

Hi from Sydney, Australia. You guys are absoultely amazing. Bright & cheerful, and your enthusiasm is fantastic. I've not done an audax but i have cycled just on 29,000 kms so far this year (and i'm 68). I am only new to your channel and love the content so far. Keep up the great work. I am now a huge fan. ❤❤❤

Thank you for the lovely videos on PBP 2023. Hope to do it some day......

Great job guys😊I enjoyed watching your pbp video's. 😊 I did watch another lady rider who also done the pbp and other events and she uses numbing cream down there when things got really bad.😢the sort they use before getting a tattoo. She said it was a real life saver..looking forward to your next vid.😊

The KZfaq algorithm is giving me loads of other PBP videos after watching all yours 😀. I haven’t watched them, but form the description some had a harder time that you both did. Well done on completing it. Kyle on getting to that level so quickly and Amy on fighting through. I will stick to my 100 milers and 100ks 😀

You two have got to be the best cycling couple on YT! You both have inspired me. We are headed into fall here in Quebec, Canada. I've recently purchased rain gear, so no excuses to not ride on rainy days, and for the winter, I'll be setting up my indoor trainer! Completing a 200km Audax is my goal for early spring!

Had a very sore bum by the time I got to Brest. I asked at the control point where I could find a pharmacy, there was one on the first hill going up out of Brest. I went in there and asked if they had something for it... he said he'd had lots asking for the same thing that morning (it was Tuesday) ! Surprising !

Well done to you both, great video of PBP, i qualified for PBP this year but didn’t realise I needed to apply last year! My bad, loved the challenge anyway. I’ll do it again in 2026/27 and make sure I enter in 2026 next time. Keep up the good work oh by the way, I met Chris on the Brevet Cymru 400 and rode together for a while earlier in the year, really nice guy.

Thanks both of you and well done

Great tips

Another ace video guys! Loved the journey 👍👍

Hello Guys, Thanks for this video.... it was really interesting to learn about the PBP... take care Paul,,

Keep on following your star Amy.

You make a good team. Simple, real and together. My wife and I did the Mallorca 312 together in 2019 and have been looking for something to do together that has meaning. The PBP looks like a good fit so we'll see you there 👍 Mind you, its disturpbing to think i'll be 60, when in my head i'm still 26! 😩😅

Thanks Amy and Kyle for a good positive boost for cycling. I’ve never done an Audax or organised bike ride. My rides in France were cycling holidays 40 years ago, with no fixed route, length, or pre booked destination, just free wheeling. At 76 I am still keen to get the same bike out and rode up my local climb, Cleeve Hill near Cheltenham, Glos, to see the GB cycle race pass by…great, One question, how do you think of France and the French now and is your view different to how you thought before? Stay safe, but have fun. Gar

Epic effort, huge congratulations. I regularly do a 100km ride and that always seems like enough, can't imagine this distance!! Also live in South of France and know about cycling in the heat, didn't make it easier for you. So well done 🎉🎉 Kyle is a legend for doing that with not much previous cycling experience too! Félicitations to you both!!

Good to see you both can't wait for the next rides

Epic adventure guys, well done! Yipeeee

damn Kyle that was a long time to wait for a pie🤣

Once again well done to you all

Thanks for the insight into PBP and how to enter in 2027. Memories will make up for the pain. TTFN

thank you for the information I will see you at the next Paris Brest Paris

I heard a great quote this week. It will be already in the end, if it isn’t, it isn’t the end.

Wonderful video guys.

You are sweet! I abandoned at Brest in 2019, for no particularly good reason, just mentally snapped at some point. I've regretted bitterly ever since. It's very kind what you said about not thinking less of those who don't make it. As for you two, how about the Transcontinental? It's my best and proudest achievement on a bike.

Thank you both for this, very informative, your mental toughness is awesome, sorry I am not a lady, but am thinking about 2027 !

Magnificent effort guys. What an adventure! Can I ask a question? Is Kyle riding a riddle endurance 725? If so would he recommended?

Well done both great achievement ,,,

An obvious next challenge is LEL but the cost of it!!! Wow. I reckon u guys should do the Fred Whitton. Right up your st snd you'll be brilliant on it. A fantastic event with a brilliant atmosphere

Thanks for sharing. Shea butter is 100x better than chamois cream. Give it a try.

Well Done to both, was great seeing the videos and massive congrats on pushing through the pain, many would have bailed but with your group you pushed through. Will you do London Edinburgh London?

🐻👋😄

Congratulations on successfully completing the PBP! I'm sure it was a MEGA experience and something which I'd love to give it a try on 2027. My question to you guys, is what saddles did you use and what specific pain killers did you use (if any)?

In Sweden @Umaja: Midnight Sun Randonnée, 1300km, audax rules, ACP points

I'd love to be able to do this, think I'm too old and more importantly too slow but well done to both of you❤

Would just like to say,amy.kyle and nige next year i shall be audaxing next year when im fit again alter my cycling accident due to your brilliant videos

Why did the one two three cat swim? Because the un deux trois cat sank. Well done, both! I’d better get saving, for a bike and a PBP trip one day, what a dream, inspiration!

Perhaps ride APN24 as a pair. I did this year and enjoyed it a lot.

I’m really enjoying this video and you two are amazing. I watched your PBP videos as well and compliment you on persevering through the pain. You mentioned here you rode your gravel bike. What brand and model is it and what is your road bike? I’m bike shopping currently. Thank you.

Thanks for posting all your PBP videos Amy! I enjoyed watching them. Out of curiosity what saddle did Kyle use for PBP? I won't ask about yours as I know it wasn't the best.

Well done to you both. I have an issue with numbness in my hands during mid to long rides. What gloves do you wear?

Love your channel, Looking forward to see what’s on the agenda next, love the videos you do, I would love to be able to do 100k or 200k my cod loins are all good, I have a hernia in my chest that stops me putting in the miles 😔😔😭

Amy, take tattoo numbing cream as a backup if you end up in pain again. Worth every penny

Great q&a. Did your saddle contribute to your saddle sores or was it just bike fit issues?

Most people I know who rode it had some weird moments on the later night ride section. Kyle had the Bears this time. Yeah the North Coast 500 would make a good video. . Wonder what your calorie intake was as you certainly necked down a lot of food on the ride :).

The big question is what flavour pie 🥧

Have you done the Fred Whitton Challenge? Did I miss that? 🤔 Keep on. Love the videos 😊❤️

RAM-BOO-YAY

I have ABBA on my playlist, my wife rides behind me and every time we past a group she hears "was that ABBa?" Cheers from the states

What stop and sleep in the woods! There are bloody bears in those woods! 😂

Hebridean way, Wild Atlantic way, Turin - Nice, Trans Pyrenees

You like to bivvy? That made me think a bikepacking race (not everyone *really* races) would be a good next thing to do. Go give Trans Pyrenean or whatever a go. I know of slower riders that have done Transcontinental. How do people ride 600km without sleep? A bit like how you did in the 24hr. Keeping on top of your sleep before the ride makes all the difference, as it looks like Kyle might have a pretty good idea from experience. And I happen to know that Steve made over £100 doing deliveries in Brighton on his way home.

that's not just any other Steve 😂it will have been Steve Abraham!

Next Adventure: John O’Groats to Lands End.

I need whatever saddle Kyle had to not have any pain after 1000kms

I can understand about wanting to have a Bluetooth speaker Amy. With my age this is the only advantage I have over you young people. I stream the music on my iPhone and from Spotify directly to my hearing aids. How good is that? (I said smugly and with a self satisfied smirk on my face).

Quite strange you got cuts in your nether region. Do you use underwear with your cycling bibs? If yes then that could be one good reason you get cuts. I can't think of any other reason. I've heard from friends who rode PBP and had a nasty bum experience but nothing as bad as yours. Chapeau for soldiering through it! Well done to you both! Your finishing time was also very good!

Your next big thing is to find a new saddle 😅 how did that come about btw ? Did you buy a new one for pbp? Surly you did most of your training on that saddle ? Much love 😊

Would you consider doing the London Edinburgh London audax in 2 years time?

Rambouillet -> ends like "boo" + "yeah" ;) How did you managed your lights batteries ? You might have use your lights more than 20 hours and at least the front one is quite powerfull to have a good sight at night. Did you have dynamos or thing like that ?

Was there any riders on flat bar gravel/adventure bikes on PBP?

Bordeaux - Paris next year?

I think it’s ramb-WEE-ay

I had a cyclocross bike a grovel bike🤣sold the grovel bike I found it hard work on the road and to be honest couldn’t touch my cyclocross bike off-road

PBP 2027: "Knowing you, knowing me...ahhh..." "Yeah, she got a BT speaker"

And a bonus question: are you sitting on a doughnut-shaped pillow in this video?

Dog prob has had pbp for 3 years

Race Across America next then?

Poor dog gets bored easily

Good luck getting more women to come out and ride PBP. Randonneuring does not lend itself to the lifestyles of most women. It requires a lot of time spent riding a bike, and often times outdoors and alone. Women are generally afraid of riding alone for threat of being mugged or worse. And most women are not mechanically inclined. So they are afraid of a breakdown while far from home and not being able to get home thereafter. Another reason (and probably the main reason) women don't take to randonneuring is they generally are focused on having kids. And once the rug rats exist there definitely is no time available to waste on long bike rides. Many of the women who do randonneuring in the U.S. ride a tandem with their husbands, or they are gay. The ones riding tandem are older and the kids are gone. And the gay ones don't have kids. I'll be surprised if you two actually ride PBP in 4 years. Amy appears to me to be something like age 28 or 29. And I suspect Kyle is 1 to 3 years older. He might be her age. Most people get married to have kids. And rug rat number 1 should be on its way within the next 4 years. Thus there more than likely will not be time or energy to prepare for PBP. This 2023 PBP experience was wonderful. And I'm sure it will be one of both of your highlights in life. It will be difficult to come up with a more impressive cycling event to document on this You Tube channel. You might want to design some 1000k loops and ride those? I enjoy the 1000k rides a lot more than the 1200k ones. Three days is just as epic as 4 days, but a whole day shorter. Not everybody is good at designing long bike routes. And not all geographic areas lend themselves to good long bike routes. Gotta have a convenience store open 24/7 every 40 to 65 miles along the way.

Great hearing your stories.
