climb work it Kyle have a mountain goat Kyle’s a mountain goat now we’re on the last bit of the climb now got .7 miles to climb 513 ft to go up that is going to be steep oh sweet relief we made the top we had to descent through this tunnel Kyle should be appearing soon I’m really hoping I can’t see him it wasn’t as bad as I thought actually that last bit here he comes woohoo keep rolling keep rolling and you didn’t want to did not like that you didn’t like that no load of P cars come see me I know and that tunnel wasn’t very nice we’re about at the top now done that to yeah wasn’t as bad as I thought 10 miles to go oh yeah we should maybe make it but we might not see the start of the JY either way we’ll get the atmosphere in Pompei time to Freewheel down baby this is the life oh someone’s hanging out they’re washing us to day for it woohoo we made it the start is this way Hallelujah 10 minutes to spare oh my goodness we’re right near the start it’s an absolute chaos but I’m going to try and get a sneak peek of the rides if I can there we are [Music] yeah g where where where so just spotted G literally the start we walked down a little Bitz it’s too cred up there but we’re a prime position here they’re going to whip past us I’m so excited literally this is the dream Bach is going to be coming in touch in distance I’m so excited there’s a feeling inside my body I Can’t Describe going to be great I’m actually going to be coming on this bit of concrete right here 15 seconds till they set up most I can’t believe you can just stand like this in the road it’s crazy oh my God oh my goodness good luck fellas W the Eon woohoo yes oh my goodness the I was so close to Pacha K so close to Pacha that was just great I could believe it there’s the helicopter did you see no I didn’t see G I think it was Crow it was swamped in the middle but I saw Pacha that was my main nameer K’s family More’s family’s family I’m literally like in a mesmerized I came this close to the pr that was just oh my dream’s been made I’m just so I’m so glad that we went ahead and just just did that because that was just insane insane more insane than me and that’s saying something Kyle did you enjoy that yeah worth pushing a that climb together definitely worth that climb thing on my mind the foodie this is the actual start line where they were look at this all the jerseys all the jerseys this is where pacha’s wheeled right we found a lovely spot the bikes are in view so I’m happy about that Kyle’s got a beer well one he got two coats I’ve got laqua natural I don’t like the fizzy water and then we just ordered we’re not quite sure what we’ve ordered actually couldn’t really understand the menu but I think I’ve got some sort of chicken thing and Kyle’s got a sandwich with like phet meat sandwich we’ll see what arrives so while we wait for our dinner to be cooked I can hear them sizzling something in the pan um so we did 41.4 Malones um I’m not sure what that is in kilometers I did have kilometers set on my watch deleted it back sorry about that and we went up 4,288 ft I’m going to put the link to our um route in the description so you can see what we did there but yeah that’s what it’s looking like on the map went a big bad boy climb but it was worth it to roll down and see those Pros I’m going to be hyp on that for the next week I tell you oh Kyle you just put your fingers in the screen I just saw that BL me no I can’t get the stuff these days sorry I’ve had a beer right we’ve swapped seating ples cuz KL was crisping in the Sun and he was getting a bit burnt so I said I’ll take the sun I’ve got the cream on but this is mine i’ got l sort of chicken salad sort of thing wasn’t really sure what I ordered but I’m happy with that and it comes with some bread which is Sans the gluten there what with gluten there proba I think it is oh I don’t know we’ll eat it we’ll see what happens but Kyle on the end I think he want for the better Rock today jealous of that I’ll say it’s a eight out of time really can you describe why you describe why really flavorsome with all the veg in there salad not the veg salad Health there for you wa it’s just add a nice bit of moisture to it which is really nice and juiciness yeah and the steak’s really juicy good quality steak the only what brings it down is the bread is a bit hard and a bit too thick so it’s hard to actually get you chopped around it well even with your ginormous front teeth fun fact the dentist once measured car’s front teeth cuz he said they were the biggest he’d ever seen no true now on popular opinion I don’t actually like cheese so the pales is going to be decanted onto Kyle’s sandwich but basically I’ve got chicken tomato and Rocket so in my opinion not worth 15 but we’re in Italy we can’t complain M oh hang on the chicken is warm now that’s put it up a level Tomatoes fresh rocket bit of oil on there peppery as usual and Brad we’ll try that in a moment but I’m giving it overall a 5 out of 10 I’m not too impressed sorry I mean if you want a salad you want a few different sort of lettuces you want a bit more than just tomato but the chicken’s warm we’re in Italy so I’m giving it a five for the Ambiance reallyy it’s the best policy yeah I just say that big bang was a l in the trat was it yeah it just hit the top of the tree and it’s all the tree Chang risking it ring the gluten this is actually the top of it carve sandwich cuz he decided he wanted these ones let me tell you something car teeth could get for it GE W be to out munching this pluming heck you’re going to need a new throat after this going to be scratched this bit like a piece of bark that is no wonder it’s lathered in oil it’s try and blooming to try and soften it so you can get it down your blooming throat sometimes they can be funny hey it is it is it does taste nice just takes about an hour to eat the Begg it’s about half an hour later I’m still hacking the Jordan teeth are being chiseled don’t need orthod after this um but we have actually realize that when you’re with grand tour’s project all your Foods included so if we’ waited with the group and not come off to see the jir we could have actually got free lunch but I think this was worth it to see the cruise so I’m not going to complain Kyle you still going with your bread just started the second piece I get another half an hour after that you feel like you’re going to Stage this year after You’ Lun done that turn into Old te rolling it around my mouth reason I’m using that much energy to chew my bread it’s basically you know negative energy balance I’m going to used more energy eating the bread than what’s in it I wonder if I to have a beer and a coke just to walk this down so we had our sandwich oh hang on I’ll turn it around you want to say hi Chia CIA yeah we’ve had our sandwiches now sore throats now English English yeah sore throats now so we’re going to sooth it with some ice cream after that that bread we have to chew look at all this looks lovely so we’re going to go and sit in the shade and enjoy thank you oh now this my friend is presented in a champagne glass I mean I don’t know it’s not champ cocktail glass what’s going on over there this is literally it’s Italy some do shouting and all sorts of sirens going off going mental mate anyway this presented beautiful it’s got fresh fruit in it I think it’s mango and melon strawberry s and you can have the cream come everything’s cracking off here kid shouting and all SS think he wants my ice cream hands off nipples off I it’s just what I need to Super throat after that rock bread Kyle’s haage check out this bad boy it nearly didn’t cuz he just spilled some on his leg just dropped it it’s a good job I only had one beer cuz I had cut a lot reflexes them actually called s but I really like the idea of the name sbet so I’m going to call it from that from now on and imagine some some countries it probably is called sbet this thing I like the ring to that soet anyway we’re just having an ice cream while we wait for the rest of the group to get here so we we keep looking at the live location they are on The Descent now so they’ll be here soon and then we’ve got a 2hour transfer to our hotel for tomorrow night so yeah hello this is Sheila the Italian little puppy I actually want one girl wants one so she such a funny not nudely hair oh it’s licking it must be sweaty a rest of the team are here and they’re digging into their ice cream did you enjoy it you done that CL before no it was the first time enjoy it yes I really

  1. I’m thoroughly enjoying watching your trip Amy. It’s so beautiful there. All your hard work on YouTube is paying off nicely. Keep it up!

  2. Thank you for including us all on your adventure in Italy… cycling Italy, then stopping to see Pompeii sounds awesome…. certainly an adventure I want to do as well.

  3. I love your videos, as an American it’s fun to hear all your Amy-ness, the phrases you use always make me smile. Sometimes I need subtitles but it’s great to be along on your adventures. You’re an inspiration.

  4. Once went to a Giro (2007 Aosta) where one of our group rode in with one of the contenders for the win and I was stood in the mix with a few of the other riders who were just waiting to get to the start.Giro generally quite accessible like that. if you can go the Hotel Belvedere/Riccione. Bike and food heaven. Bidets – how hygenic are they? In japan they dont want toilet paper. Proper bottie wash much better

  5. My comments always seem to be about kyle, but the mans a legend. Great video, the Giro looks cracking, Will you be seeing any of the Tour de France? 🙂

  6. Hi Amy and Kyle, what a dream to be at the Giro, and to experience the atmosphere of the start, made even better by a truly awesome bike ride to get there 👍 you both bring joy to us with your videos and how you’ve manage to overcome difficulties in your life, thank you so much, you are yourself, honest and open about how you are, and always humble about how lucky you are to be where you are now. And that’s because you both are yourselves, and that shines brightly 😊

  7. Another great video guys! Also as always big up T Bain the watt machine of west Cheshire, hopefully get him out on Sunday for a ride

  8. Brits like Americans just eat white spongy, cotton like "bread". The bread in Europe, is usualy sourdough. Much healthies, and from top quality flour.
    By the way Italians don't drink instant coffee! Only from expresso machine, or French plunger.
