I know it's a long way and they're in the saddle for long days, but tyres in shorts seems overkill?

Yes it is 15 in 2x3500 miles which is a lot. As we all know the puncture fairy is the essence of random but that’s a lot more than should be expected. Must be some function of tyres and weight given they are on tarmac most of the time.

A lot of main roads too I guess, more debris.

Singapore reached, next stop Perth. Down to 10 hours 14 of daylight.

I really enjoyed Josh’s camera skills, his YouTube videos were like a documentary. I understand why he stopped them after China and miss them. I hope he has recorded footage from the last 3 months of his tour and makes a final wrapping up video.

I enjoyed them too: why did he stop uploading them to YouTube? They were pretty much 'just' a collation of his Instagram output. Hope he published them now they're back.
Amy has changed her rear tyre for sure as they were both tan walls to begin now a solid Black rear, not sure about Kyle but I would expect he has changed as well. They visited a bike shop along the way possibly in KL to get more inner tubes! Probably changed the tyre then?

or maybe carelessness, i.e. if not clearing flint etc out of the tyre and just replacing the tube.

You'll pick up more debris with a loaded rear wheel. I'd be considering changing the tyres with that amount of punctures though, sponsored or not. Get the sharpie out.

I understood he wanted to enjoy the journey more; which I take to mean that there was lots of editing on an evening from each day’s filming and it could have been causing some friction with his Dad.

I can very much understand where that comes from. I won't go for walks with my Sister in law as she constantly stops to take random photo's with her phone. She's joined a walking group locally, and has said no-one stops ! Alleluia !

Every year I tell myself I’ll actually think through my picks properly. Then 10 mins before deadline I panic and pick random climbers lol.

Let her stop, but she needs to catch up.

Some of the talk about the annoyances like being an influencer and talking about products make me chuckle. I think she mentions a bit here & a bit there, nothing major compared to some. I certainly don't have to skip chunks of video like I do when watching DC Rainmaker or Des.
If you want a YouTuber who is irritating in their product talk then MattDoesFitness who also gave up his day job as a teacher to do the YouTube (and then Gladiators). If Amy annoys some of you then this guy will surely have you smashing whatever device you're watching the video on.
Back on the topic of Amy, I wonder exactly what her NHS finance role was. Like what her day-to-day job entailed.
