I always struggle with hydrating on cold winter rides too. Its very unpredictable compared to a warm ride. Sonetimes I actually feel more thirsty on a cold ride than I would on the same route in the summer, other times its the opposite, maybe because the thought of drinking freezing cold liquid when you are already freezing cold is a bit off-putting!
One trick is for the faster riders to slow down slightly on the climbs, that way they aren't waiting and getting cold. Just a bunch of blokes dreaming. Even they will get dropped. Also get to the front set your pace and let them go around you. Cold weather doesn't encourage drinking. Perhaps some kind of thermos Bidon with warm water.
Amy, likewise, I wasn't drinking enough on winter rides. Solved it by putting some squash and a couple of teaspoons of sugar in my water bottle. Encourages me to drink, knowing there's a sugar boost in the bottle. Stops me using too many gels too!
Always been a hard Month January ! The cold Weather and rides where you get sucked in to going harder than you really want to be going. Seen some spectacular bonks around this period thinking about it :).
Hopefully your hydrating & fueling improves along w/ the guidance you're getting from Dan at UK Bike Fit, especially since you need those electrolytes to prevent muscle fatigue.
love your videos, so cheerful! and it's certainly no shame in getting dropped with these tires, you were probably pushing an extra 30W compared to a fast road tire! but no shame in getting dropped even with fast tires...
Miss Amy, Thank you for the post. Both you and Kyle seemed to have had a grand ride. Not in to the cold ride but I am doing it. Looking forward to your future posts. Thanks again.
I can’t believe the volume you guys seem to do. Maybe it’s not as much as it seems. But, it is inspiring that you guys can do these longer rides that many of us have to spend 3 months training for!! Hold on to that youthful energy!
Do I never drink enough water - Tick, Do I love Cycling - Tick, Do I get dropped - Tick, Do I have fun - Tick ... liking these videos and very inspiring team. Its Feb and many of us need a kick in the a@@ to get back out there.
Well played Amy you have to enjoy yourself and a cafe stop is a must have too. The lads faces told the story at the cafe they all looke worked LOL. All good to rest up for a spell Amy very smart move IMO. Hydrate more please Amy. Ding dang dillio TTFN back to you too.
There’s simply no telling some people, Amy 😂 This is now the third vlog I have counted in which you’ve advised Kyle to wear gloves or shoe covers. In the previous two, Kyle appeared to bitterly regret dismissing your advice as his toes and fingers nearly dropped off. I would have put covers on if only to keep those nice shoes white. Maybe Kyle wanted to show them off… which I can understand 😆 Another great vlog The Hudsons ❤
I have a reminder pop up on my Wahoo to drink every 10 mins. Also don't talk over the ride leader when he's trying to give instructions - he looked a bit annoyed. Good video though.
Why are road bikes always so small and have little wheels? You'd be better off on a cross country MTB with 29" wheels, especially with all those climbs.
I wouldn't know 😁! It means you fall further back as the faster riders get involved with being the quickest up the hill and it can be every hill. Others hide at the back all day, claiming they are tired then outclimb everyone who have been doing all the work. At its worst the slower riders can be left behind or the fastest riders sit at the top of the hill or mountain getting colder as they have been sweating. Once rode with a smart arse who did this on the Col de Cayolle. He went over the top in wind, rain and 2 deg C and went hypothermic on the descent. Wasn't so smart then
It means being left behind by people you’re cycling with. Usually caused by people showing off at the front to make those at the back feel inadequate. It’s a term I hate, it tends to be men that love it. 😂😂😂
@@markrushton1516 So male cyclists should consciously stay at home because somehow men going cycling contributes to women not participating? My friend, what a silly thing to say...
Amy you must keep hydrated even in winter, keep reminding her Kyle.

You can get thermal water bottles that keep your drinks warm in cold weather. Hydration is important even in cold weather.

Never heard of legs 'lactating'. Made me laugh. Thank you.

"if I was on me own and got dropped I'd be absolutely fine". Best quote ever 😂
😂😂
Always impressed by the amount you guys ride!

Haha thank you!! He did finally wear shoe covers last weekend! 😂🙌🙌
Enjoy your break, another great video
That climb up to Longcliffe is a proper drag 😵💫
It is but it’s pretty!!
All those "winter bikes" are better than my good bikes....hahahaha.
You all are tough,my RESPECT!
1:57 the way he looked back at you “bloody hell, she’s filming” lol
Kyle's mimic of Amy's Ah-goodbye" 😅

Great video again Amy. You’re amazing. I love your sunn glasses; can you tell me what brand they are? Keep up the great content ❤

Thanks so much ~ they’re SunGod ☺️
Morning Amy, next time you two come down Watford way drop me a message as love to go out on a ride wiv ya & got a great route up past Whipsnade zoo
Well done
Yipee
Guilty as charged. Quite a couple of rides this month not drinking enough; your body always has a habit of letting you know the next day.

Get it you two.
Ding Dang Dropped 😂😂
😂😂😂
👍
What bib tights do you have? Look quite cool!
Santini vega dry ☺️
All the show offs who think they’re Chris Froome. Not interested in average speeds I just enjoy my rides.
At minute 1,27 YOU CAN SEE IN THE SKY..???
I’m red pilled with the world but not sure on the chem trail stuff but that did look strange sky
That's a lot of chemtrails
How many times did you stop in 23 miles ?
Haha it was 55 miles ☺️
nice
What does dropped mean ?

It does but when my wife did it on long climbs or sprints they weren't amused then.
Getting dropped is a good motivation for riding even more.😅
It's dispiriting for some who struggle
I would be like ; "Is there a third group...???"
Legs are not loins 😂
Weren't you told off a few videos ago for not drinking enough 😂😂
Yes 😂😂
@@amy.cycling.adventures lol naughty naughty
Yes good little red🐑🐑🐑
Kyle, Mate, Why are you dressed like you are about to rob the local bank??????
😂😂
my loins can't bothered these days.
Plenty of chem trails in the sky 😢

Why is it mostly men always.. even here in U.S . Seems to be man dominant

Why are you angry at the male cycling enthusiasts? It's not these guys fault that most women aren't interested.
It contributes to women not wanting to participate.
@@markrushton1516 So male cyclists should consciously stay at home because somehow men going cycling contributes to women not participating? My friend, what a silly thing to say...
@Newtube_Channel I find that hard to believe given that mass-start races were still largely disallowed on British roads in the 30s...
Shame you feel the need to dedicate a video to getting dropped - not sure it's very healthy. A bit of competition's fun but don't obsess over it.
