Amy and Kyle's Around the world challenge

[oxoman]

There doing really well at the moment, once they get to the lumpier stuff the average speed will drop down.

They weighed it before leaving and Amy's bike, fully loaded (without water I think, but I'm not certain) was 25.5kg and Kyle's was nearly 27kg. So, 'quite a lot' really, whether or not that included liquid. They did appear to have a lot of duplication in their packing; two first aid kits for example, and proper Allen keys in addition to at least one multitool. Perhaps they'll shed some of this along the way !

This is their bike setup and weighing video:

Mike Hall’s bike setup weighed 16kg, apart from India where he had an extra 2kg. He completed in 90 days plus flights. First to embrace carbon and bike packing aero bags for such an attempt.
