That's dangerously hot. I hope they listen to their bodies & each other (says the man who got heatstroke on a cycle tour in the West Highlands - but I was an awful lot younger and much more foolish...)

Crass stupidity more like - solo from Skye fully loaded to Gairloch on a very hot day, I spent an evening and a day in my tent throwing up and feeling very unwell indeed. Oh and I knackered my achilles in one leg, so pedalled one-legged to Achnasheen to abandon a couple of days later

Indeed - on this, and this alone I feel suitably qualified to tell them, via the medium of shouting at clouds, to be careful 🤭

I have managed heat exhaustion in Wales. You are not the only one. How we each deal with heat varies greatly by person. Two people can take exactly same precautions during exercise in heat. One gets heat exhaustion. One is fine. The temp at which this occurs can also vary by person.

But that isn't really what they do. THey do sometimes promote particular products, but the main thrust of what they do is just general cycling content.

A quick search brings up CAMS, Pinarello 'Pinny the bike', ROUVY, Santini, Selle Italia, Tailfin, Panaracer, Garmin, SunGod, UK Bike Fit, and Milly Grace Jewellery's collection collaboration. Their 'general cycling content ' seems to be heavily monetised to me. It's not just about making a video to promote Boggins Superior Inner Tubes, it's also about being a human billboard.

The main reason though is to hilight and raise money for charity. They aim to cycle 18,000 miles in 150 to 180 days while raising over £50,000 for mental health charities Shout and The Mix.
The brands they promote reached out to them i believe, no begging fot support involved. Given her own history with mental health and eating disorders you have to give her credit for going well out of her comfort zone and also Kyle as he's supporting her having left his own building company to ride with her.

All credit is due to them, for sure.
