Came away from this ride wanting to try more gravel, hopefully the confidence will increase the more I do it – I 100% prefer uphill to yipeeeing down!
For anyone interested my bike (LB aka Little Beasty) is a Cannondale Topstone Carbon 2 – I chose this bike after being hit by a car earlier this year, she’s the replacement for my original Canyon bike that was written off. I’ve been using her for road cycling (alongside canny) for longer rides with road tyres on as she’s super comfy over long distance and most of the lanes I ride on are very bumpy! I’m defo going to use her for more gravel rides in the future, but the road is where I’m more confident!
Thank you so much for watching, if you can spare a second to hit subscribe with your pinky that would be awesome.

Nice one 👍 are you tempted with some mountain biking….. get away from them pesky cars 🚗
Always find myself chuckling along with your commentary. Like the way you manage to convey the sense of fun and adventure. Looking forward to next vid.
Not a fan of of this type of riding I won’t use the bike manufacturers buzz G word to me it’s off road. It’s not my idea of fun plodding along on a loose surface. I did used to ride cyclocross but never trained off road for it fast road miles was the thing anyway thanks for the video 👍
👍 happy trails John
Hollybush!
Great pub.

Entertaining..and inspiring.. cheers Amy 😊.. great Vlog
I can't help but get into a good mood after watching your videos Amy , so infectious..😄👌lol
Hello Amy,
Well done to get out there on the gravel… sadly no dancing from John – lol…
Take care.
Paul,,
I always used mountain biking, not the g work either..lol
Love a bit of gravel me, good to see you playing with the dark side. Do me a favour though please, put your garmin mount on the other side so the head unit sits central in front of your stem. It's doing my OCD head in, lol 😂
My bike at the moment is a Planet X Full Monty (with a few mods) and it is a bit of a mongrel, a Heinz 57 type of bike. I just ride on different surfaces as and when. I lived in Finland for 10 years where there were lots of fire roads and untarmaced roads but did mostly with mountain bikes with road tyres back in the day.
It's great to see you just enjoying cycling in all it's forms. Keep it up!!
@Amycyclingadventures — Bought the same bike a couple of months ago and loving it. Just started to get into gravel riding. It's fun!!! As long as you don't run into muddy terrains, you'll be fine.
Good stuff Amy, gravel not for me i'd rather get stuck into a pile o pots! 😁
More John please. He is a “ classic “ always makes me laugh
I have a very gravel specific question Amy: how on earth do you get your ponytail between your helmet's shell and harness?? (Not asking for a friend 😂)
It's good to expand your adventures and go off road occasionally. Looks like you had fun but I know your heart is on the road (me, too!). Thanks for sharing!!
It's very clear you dont like gravel rides🤣🤣. it's a cool experience sometimes you should try it occasionally with a group.
I missed John, what a fun guy always smiling and please pass my greetings to Kyle it's been a while.
that was nice to get him some shoes👍
As if I haven't gotvenough cycling tops but boy am I in love with John's red top. Any idea what it's called. I guess it's from Santini?
Gravels just road riding with Little Rock’s. I love the gravel..
Brilliant as usual and John so sweet! Hope hubby loves his shoes 😊😂
I used to race cross country mountain bikes and I love it but the gravel bikes, well my opinion is you can have them. The ride is to ruff hence the reason why shocks were invented. That kind of body pounding can't be good for your body especially if you do it for a long time.
Gravel. To each their own. Terrific young lady. Happy Forth of July. Watching the Tour. Great Britain Twins stealing the show. Bless.
Thanks 4 sharing AMY
Just watching this at 11 in the pm 😂
We did a brisk 43 miler today. I actually said "I'm feeling a bit Nick Nacked" 😅😅
Keep these vids coming, you’re very entertaining
Nice ride, but porridge and peanut butter is just wrong! Sounds like something from your dad’s school of cycling haute cuisine. 😅
Where is your accent from? I feel like I’ve never heard it but maybe I’m just dumb..
Another fab video 😁😁
Lovely video Amy endurance is your thing for sure so I think you would make a good gravel rider. Great energy lots of yippies which is top level stuff. So keep the smiles and miles coming and we'll keep watching your adventures over here the USA. TTFN back to you!
Fare play to you in the mud and gravel! I’d of fallen off with hay fever poor vision issues.. 👍👍
We need a "bloomin 'eck" counter on screen
Nice video Amy. You can't beat a bit of 'mixed surface' riding. Stay safe on the roads.
Секси)
80psi off road bet that was a bone shaker ride 🤣
Was the great @Chris Hall there with you all just saw a zone lemon sticker on a bike in the shop
Hi Amy, great vids, inspired me to get back on the saddle and was wondering if you could do a vid on the top bike accesories for the beginner…maybe get john involved.😀
Interesting – how much turmeric do you put in your porridge?
You will have to come down and do a ride with John in the Chilterns he can show you some great routes
could be just 80psi in the tires to help them seat, I overinflate them a little bit (not that much *don't exceed max tire press*)
Amy, que rutas más bonitas. Te pintas las uñas con colores muy alegres. Me encanta. Y tu entrada a los vídeos con el índice hacia arriba me llama la atención. Saludos desde España.
Your like Mary Poppins on a bike… I mean that in the best possible way.
A strap-on always makes riding more pleasurable
Loved watching that as much as i did riding it – great job 😃
Great video Amy. My husband told me about your channel, I’ve watched all of your vids in the past week! I have a new MTB and rode it for the 2nd time last night, I fell off as I’m not very skilled either. 😂 I blame the handle bars, they’re a lot wider which I didn’t take into consideration when passing a fence so clipped it. It was a soft landing though ha ha x
How did the 35psi in the tires, handle on the pavement?
Tire pressure makes a HUGE difference…. small investment in digital gauge is worth it…cannot rely on a pinch test.
That's my kind of ride. Wooohooo
