Agreed. They are each doing a thing that would be so far beyond my capabilities that they might as well be the same. After all impossible is not harder than impossible.
They are quite different, Molly is an ex-professional cyclist and Amy is just someone who got into cycling and found they were good at it.
They are quite similar, both female, both have been very open about mental health issues.
It's not a competition.

There's a few on YT all doing similar for various reasons. However anything that promotes and help MH issues and gets butt's on saddle I'm all for. As to Amy I reckon she'll end up raising about 100k which is x10 of her original expectations. As to her OH Kyle I feel sorry for him as he's always in the background.

I'm going to wait til she gets up the Tourmalet before bunging her a tenner. I'm mean like that.

You should be waiting at the top with your tenner

I've ridden up it once this year. That's enough, I'm still recovering.
With regards to Kyle, I get the impression he is relatively shy, and not looking to be front of camera that much.
I think he may have fronted one video whilst she was doing something else (Although I confess to not having watched it) and he also features on their Rouvy live streams.
On the positive side, he's gotten a shed load of free kit, bikes, shoes etc, plus a load of free holidays as well, I think he got to go with her on one of those Le Blanc mega bucks weekends away either this or last year, or perhaps both. I'm not for a second suggesting he doesn't deserve it/them, OR that he's taking it for granted, I don't believe either of them are, or will do.
I'm sure he had no inkling of what was to come when he bought her a Carrera road bike a few years back.
He seems like a really genuine bloke, and they clearly love each other, it's refreshing to see a normal couple doing relatively normal things - huge great cycling mileages not being normal by any means!
I know he is a builder by trade, I guess if he wants to he could look to creating some kind of projects YT channel if he fancies it.
They are both incredibly fit and well matched cyclists though, it's very impressive, and inspiring - not sure of their ages, but would guess in their mid to late 20s.

Even if not shy, many people don’t want to be in front of the camera.
Amy said he was filming his own video.

Anyone know her reason for riding the transfers as well?
Can’t afford a plane ticket🤷🏼♂️
