Amy Hudson does the Tour de France

[figbat]

She’s only gone and done it!

I am beyond impressed. Utterly awesome, and she raised way more money than hoped for too.

Chapeau.

Got very scared by the traffic on the transfer twix todays and tomorrows TdF stages
Day 26 on YouTube.

I’m blown away by what she achieved! She made it look easy! Chapeau, Amy!

Chapeau to Kyle too. He did a remarkably good job facilitating / supporting her for a non-stop month. That's very much not to be underestimated.

Fully agree! That’s a massive thing to do!

That was a phenomenal ride. 29 days at those mileages is awesome but then throw in the Pyrenees and Alps. The logistics were almost as impressive as the riding, getting her around France with food and accommodation is no easy feat. She didn’t even have any mechanicals!

Not to mention the heatwave!

Very impressive. Hope she raised a great sum for her chosen charities

Well done to Amy Hudson.

...and not forgetting Molly Weaver who has broken the round the coast of UK record: 7,731km in 21 days. She raised over £10k for the RNLI.

Just watched last video. Very well done Amy and Kyle.

Been ignoring the thread until i'd watched the last day on youtube.

Wow, a An absolutely stunning achievement, and i love the videos being so comprehensive; warts (or I should say blisters) and all. And it's the same pattern as her other vids - at first glance, Amy seems endlessly optimistic/enthusiastic, but then you see the tears too: It makes for better viewing, feels like each video takes me along for the journey too.

I didn't think she'd manage it without more rest days, or even a break. Am happy she proved me wrong. Awesome.

And next year, she and husband Kyle are attempting to ride round the world - trying to break the record for a couple doing it.

This will be interesting. Personally think maybe going to far straight off. I mean TDF route this year then around the world next year, whereabouts do you go after that. Certainly wish them luck.

They are following the current record holders route which to me is not around the world as it misses much of Asia.

I see it as more of riding 18k in a year, only 6k more than she does currently but travelling while doing it.

I’d have preferred if it was like Josh Kohlers ride around the world with his dad (check out his YouTube) which is going country by country and will take months, more of an adventure then an 18000 mile challenge, but interestingly will qualify as a world record as no other father and son have submitted the ride to Guiness.
