I actually think he's not that keen on the social media. She does come over a bit hyper/adhd, and he's much more steady and would rather just get on with it.

He didn’t used to be so keen although recently has been doing a lot more, doesn’t like early morning either. She is certainly full on most of the time!

All the best to them though.

Two punctures in first three days doesn't bode well.

At least they are using tubes which makes things easier in the long run. Hopefully bad luck, otherwise they will be looking at something else being shipped out to a hotel in advance !

My mate had a wait on an XT hub on a round the world trip. I think he was actually in Malaysia, and it was quicker to get one shipped from the UK. Where is a lot of Shimano made....Malaysia. He did his trip on a Thorn 26" tourer, far more practical.

maybe hes just not that keen on over sharing so much of their life together on screen. It can get to be proper Truman show style stuff when you think about it, and this will involve being on every day, for months, whilst you are increasingly tired and fatigued.

but youve also got to remember youre seeing the curated view, not the complete picture, so its very easy to mistake a brief clip as being something it isnt.

I hope they stay safe, and above all have fun doing this.

There isn’t any. She has done a YouTube short but not sure how long it was last. They also said they would try and do a podcast upload which is on YouTube and Spotify.

When she did the TDF one, Kyle was editing the footage to produce a full Youtube video each day. With them both riding, he isn't going to have the time or energy to do that.

At the minute they're doing short youtube shorts and a few pics on Instagram. I'm guessing the eat slip ride repeat with take a lot out of them.

So the plan is YouTube shorts and instagram and try to podcast every couple of weeks. Videos of their training to be released monthly whilst on their journey with edited videos of the trip after they return.

Kaisa (may have spelt that wrong) did one virtually everyday, quite often with her dog and occasionally with her mum, who was Swedish and charmingly bonkers!

Thanks!

I'll make a prediction: this record attempt will generate more views - during the ride - than any previous attempt. <hurls Cyclechat-approved gauntlet to the ground dramatically>
