How good is my FIRST ROAD BIKE *TEN* YEARS later?!
I love your tips. I lost ~40lb (18kg) in the past 10 month of cycling. I ride for fun, but the speed is one of the thrills, of course with my age and unfit past does not permit me to join Tour de France, but that was never the goal 😃. I love to eat natural food before and on the bike (on rides over 50km). Oatmeal with jam, bananas, dates, figs are so much better for you than gels. Hills and winds are scary, but for hills I already have a strategy. All you need to do is to pedal. You can always lower your gears and go easier, or even stop if needed and pretend to do a selfie or a video shot for your vlog 😂. Head winds on other hand still get me and they can be very frustrating. I also encountered bullies on the road and those can ruin your day and the fun ride. I do not know why people have to be cruel. But after coming home I compose myself and think, that most likely their life has to be very miserable to resort to shouting horrible things to people they never met and do not know. On other hand, I am super lucky, because I am on the bike! 🥰
This is funny ..did my first gravel bike pack ride a few weeks back on Dartmoor and headed up that same hill to Warren hill pub at end of the day..had Rabbit Pie in pub instead of cooking and wild camped half a mile away as couldn't face another hill.. glad to hear you said some was steep..great vid crofty
Fun all the way! Thanks guys. 🎉
That ending! Classic
😂🙈
Why the almost back to back duo videos? Just mere coincidence or? (Not that I don’t love it, just wondering)
We both had some time and why the hecccckkkk not :) loved it last time and so good to be able to do these trips. Love exploring :) and Juliet is legit so nice - same on and off camera. Proper nice lass :)
What do you think of Dartmoor? A lot of bush's I hope that makes it into the tourist information booklets
Quote “too bushy”
You barely tickled the edge of Dartmoor! "Next time", keep on after Haytor to Widecombe in the Moor and then follow to Two Bridges. Hang a right to Postbridge then on to Moretonhampstead. You'll see some proper open moorland then... and plenty of sheepies!
Ok watch my last video…. 🤩🤩🤩
@@KatieKookaburra Ahhhh :D
50% of your load is unecessary crap
Nothing wasn’t needed . - what would you not have taken?
@@KatieKookaburraall cooking stuff, eye mask, ear plugs, mat - use a dust bag or two, pillow - use your laundry bag, etc...
Yorkshire is more relaxing. Found Devon / Dartmoor lanes stressful with hedges etc. Living in West Yorkshire is ACE
See it’s us northerners - we have something against hedges 😋🙊
We love the open space 😂
Pee strategy...important!! 😂
And that’s how I know who is dedicated and watched to he very end hehe x
@@KatieKookaburra...absolutely! That looks like it was loads of fun. 🚴♀🚴♀
Few cars but still.. 😂
Can't beat the UK weather for cycling and camping outdoors😆
Terrible 😂🫣😩
Organised chaos 😂
That’s how it should be right?!!
@@KatieKookaburra I’ve been rolling like that for 50 years. 😂
What a treat, two of my absolute fave CZcamsrs. Not Yorkshire but still looked like some great riding.
Hahah yassss Jules haha xx
I only follow two cyclists on socials…. Having them both in a video feels cool
Awwww that is kind, thank you! Glad you're enjoying it.
This does not look like fun. Mossies....nightmare.
they are the worrrrrst!
Ah, the Dartmoor midges! My first wild camp there was quickly followed by the purchase of a head net - there were so many of them in my face that I couldn't function. The second wild camp was much better :D
yeah they are a pain... but annoyingly I have a face net and didn't take it. Wanted to save that 30g weight haha.
@@KatieKookaburra Oh gosh - that feeling of actually owning something but it's sitting in a drawer at home! 😅
That was great fun - I love the banter between you two
Us too! :)
That was close but why did she move in to middle of road if she had stuck to side would have been able to avoid him easier, he's in the wrong though
You wee like a whore. I know. I know I do. Hands down the best content I've seen in years !!!
Use Avon's "Skin So Soft" to stop the midges.
You need to get the snugpak softie elite 3 sleeping bag it's very warm and small pack size
Ooohhhhhh this actually looks really good! Do you have it? And I wanted a non-down one so this is great. Does it keep you warm even in the cold?? Says -5c that is pretty decent!!!
Yes it does its what I used in the army it's very warm I have used it in -5 and it keeped me warm If you wanted a more warmer one try the softie elite 4 it's -10
My fav bike channel
Awwww thank yoooooou :)
Camping out in the UK that’s brave. What snacks have you girls been eating, Carbs FTW!! 💪💪💪
Is it the weather that makes camping in the UK less than ideal? I figured it would be better than where I live. No grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, cougars, moose, or elk to contend with. I used to camp in the Rockies a lot but after having a few grizzly encounters in the last two years, I tend to truck bed camp now.
We basically had food at the cafe you saw then what we ate at camping. I always have some snacks of dates and sweeties :)
Hah yeah worse we have are the midges!!!
Not much compares with Yorkshire. Maybe northern Scotland…
"can't put any power down when you're laughing" - Omg, that's true!! Why is that?!
WHYYYYYY???? hahahaha, I just don't know... great tactic for this years TDF/TDFFaZ.... make your opponents laugh so much they can't keep up on the climbs or in the sprint! 🤩
@@KatieKookaburra 🤣🤣🤣
Oreo cows at ~5' 50 These are scattered around hobby farms in my area of southern US. Your bivy looks like the kind of spot where you wake up a 4a for a wee and find 10 cows standing around marveling at this new development in their field.
We did think that could happen haha :)
Oreo cows!!! What a great name ... Belted Galloways are hardy and relatively small so are often used in the UK in poor grazing areas where large cows wouldn't survive well and would damage the ground with their weight.
Dartmoor is the best !!! We live in a great part of England 🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️💪💪💪😍😍
Love the Warren inn, glad you got to see the real Dartmoor, just a word of warning you are only allowed to camp on the open moor and not in farmers fields.
Thank you for this video, the pub on 5 mins is the pub I had my 1st pint after doing my 8 weeks training in the Royal Navy 25 years ago, I’ve been trying to find it for years 😊
Glad it brought back some memories for you - was a proper nice little pub with cracking views! :)
Hilarious!!!
Dueling Tubers! That gives an interesting perspective.
Were you thinking Hound of the Baskervilles, American werewolf type country?
Yeahhhh that's it!!! Loved that book.
You pair are a class act 😂
isn't there supposed to be a Panther living in Dartmoor ? Dont wear any stripy black and white tops bought in France, it might think you're a Zebra...
Stop.... a panther???????
Is it legal to drink alcohol and ride bikes in the UK or is that an non-alcoholic beer?
I can't do it, gives me such a headache ! Also a pint of cold lager when you're already feeling cold...
This whole video is a buddy movie! Good times.
☺️☺️☺️☺️
..in a Nutshell Gals!.. bloody Brilliant! stunning scenery.. wildlife & so good to see You both 'aving a Good Turkish! it's what makes You're Dual CZcams's the BEST! ❤😂
Ahhh you stopped at the warren! Lots of cool legends from that lonely pub on the moor!!!
Love the Vid, next time try the puffing billy track out to Redlake one of my first rides on Dartmoor back in 1982 ( on a road bike)
More of this double act please
I’m pleased you experienced the expansive parts of the Moor 😊
Me too Chris.... this is what we are about right??? :)
I had 3 questions. 1) You answered in the last minute of the video 💩. 2) Do you change out of your kit to sleep? 3) Do you bring another pair of shorts or bibs?
Yes to changing into other kit... leggings and then wear all the layers on the top.And as it was only a short ride the day after we didn't take spare bibs. Minimal camp out!
😉 told ya! Really glad you enjoyed it.
That's more like it !!! I'm so glad you like the real Dartmoor, it's pretty special, isn't it ! - those rocks, by the way, the larger clumps at least and mainly on the tops of the hills , are called tors - there's about 160 of them on Dartmoor.
160 clumps of rock formations???!!!!! Ok we need to do a ride to see ALL of them... I'm Googling now :) :)
Did Juliet change that tire that spilled its guts in the last video? #tube_tires
Different bike :)
Props to you ladies for runni'n with a bivy! I honestly would just carry an ultralight tent when bikepacking, especially when the weather is cold. Enjoyed the video! 😊
I miss living in a place where I could camp in a tent. I'm too scared of grizzly bears. I've had several encounters in the last few years, so no tent camping for me!
Oooof bears?!!!
@@joshuacurley417 I live in NorCal and during my last camping trip here, we saw an eight foot bear rummaging inside the trash bin, next to the bathroom. This was in the Sierra mountains, along the John Muir Wilderness. That was my last camping here because it’s not fun when you can’t sleep! 😁 Now, I travel elsewhere to bikepack! Bears do hybernate so you can safely go camping during winter or just go somewhere safe. Lots of beautiful places to explore and enjoy! 😊
@@KatieKookaburra yep! Up here in Northern British Columbia we have several different brown bear subsets including the large coastal variety and the slightly smaller grizzly. I've had several encounters in the last year, so when we go up into the Rockies we always carry rifles and bear spray. I'm too nervous now to camp in a tent after those hikers in Jasper got killed in their tent last year by a grizzly.
@@bosconian91 I love NorCal! Drove down there from Northern BC (11 north of Vancouver) last winter. Beautiful area. Very similar in a lot of ways to the Northern BC Rockies. I am getting a fat bike this year for winter bikepacking adventures, but it gets pretty cold up here (-40°F is pretty common during cold snaps) so I'm not sure if I'll be doing a lot of winter camping!
💖👸👸💖 10/10 thank you for taking us along on this whacky adventure! 🥰🥰😻
