It’s so great seeing you and others loving their cycling

@leerbechmorten 5 лет назад

You are so good, I know the "cry-feeling", eventhough I haven't tried a 30% climb. Thanks for sharing, Katie. 😊👍

@Nosh_Feratu 6 лет назад

What a great video, glad you liked the Lakes! Really touching seeing your response on Hardknott too, nice gesture by someone.

@wanderingbox7971 4 года назад

love to be able to do Hardknott without pushing 😟🌱✌️

@BanjaxedSam 6 лет назад

That was epic, well done to you both and everyone else that tackled it. 👍🏻🚴🏻

@rsparker922 5 лет назад

Just been up Hardknott today and your "Come On Kookaburra And Jay" message is still on the road!!!!

@KatieKookaburra 5 лет назад

YAYYYYYYY!!!!! Ahhhh I can't wait to see it again!!!!!!!!

@Andy7846 6 лет назад

Massive congratulations, such an epic ride! Hats off to you both, and everyone else who took part.

@brianward7724 6 лет назад

Terrific work with both the ride and the video, Katie! What a bonus to have encouragement painted on the road for you - a la TDF! For me, the widescreen stuff was the best. More of it in the future, if you can, please. 30% gradient - don't know how anyone manages that!

@neilt7191 6 лет назад

Chapeau Katie & Jay . We sat and watched you all come through Elterwater . An amazing day clearly for all that took part . Very well done .

@cumbrianrider8903 6 лет назад

Hi Katie, Im glad you had a good day for the fred and enjoyed yourselves because i know how tough it is in bad weather let alone good! well done for completing the ride, im just sorry i missed you on hardknott, P.S sorry i made you cry!!!

@KatieKookaburra 6 лет назад

No way.... was it you that put that on the road???????!!!!!!

@cumbrianrider8903 6 лет назад

Katie Kookaburra Yeah it was me 👍

@DarenC 6 лет назад

Kudos for the road graffiti! Lovely thought mate

@cumbrianrider8903 6 лет назад

Daren Chandisingh cheers but prefer art over graffiti 😉👍

@rics7631 6 лет назад

Thanks Katie you inspired me to get a bike!!!! Nice Vid.

@matthewbird2678 6 лет назад

It was lovely to meet you at foodstop 2 Katie! I was a few minutes behind you after that...saw the road message to you..nice touch from someone! I couldn’t get up Hardknott. I felt the need to zig zag the angle out of the nasty bits but needed the whole road without other riders and walkers everywhere. Hats off to those who just gritted it out and rode straight up...phenomenal strength. Fantastic day! Some of the views....wow!

@KatieKookaburra 6 лет назад

Ahhh was great meeting you too! Well done for doing it, you said it was the longest one you had done with that kind of elevation. We all did so good. Yep same for me at Hardknott, I need to zig zag but couldn't with so many other riders. Let's go back and conquer it! :)

@matthewbird2678 6 лет назад

Katie Kookaburra it’s a date! :)

@sureshchinnappa2290 6 лет назад

Well done Kooka. Loved the video. I am so looking forward to the weekend and getting on my bike. Thank you.

@jeffkrueger7911 6 лет назад

Amazing scenery, picturesque day, even some emotion thrown in. You covered it all. Nice job!

@KatieKookaburra 6 лет назад

Thanks Jeff!

@andrewpickering8160 Год назад

Anyone who does this challenge is a real world super hero

@GazzaView123 6 лет назад

Well done Katie & Jay! I saw that road writing as I climbed up Hardknott & wondered if you had gone past it yet, didn't see anyone with a spray can of paint though! The whole day was awesome & the perfect weather was the icing on the cake. I was driving through Ambleside centre early evening on my way home & there was a lady wearing a Vegan top exactly like yours riding along, I passed her then she ended up riding behind me shortly before turning off. I did wonder if it was you.

@KatieKookaburra 6 лет назад

Edd!! I bet it was me! We were riding back to Ambleside I would guess at around 6-6.30pm? Should have knocked on the window and said hello 😊 Well done to you! What an epic day out!

@GazzaView123 6 лет назад

The timing fits, so thinking back now, it was definitely you. At the time I wasn't 100% sure & so refrained from saying/shouting out incase of mistaken identity & therefore much embarrassment! Agree, it was an epic day, bring on next year! Oh, did the 'road writer' identify themselves?

@alfredstimoli2590 6 лет назад

Amazing effort Katie, well done and a big hearty congratulations. Just want to say again how much I enjoy your vids and your enthusiasm brightens my somewhat bleak day. Thankyou.

@caahacky 4 года назад

So nice of you to thank the spectators for cheering you on.

@claudiakane8659 5 лет назад

OH, Gosh you made me cry happy tears for you guys too! Awesome video. Thanks for sharing it with the world. I'm starting my Road Bike Life in a few hours here in USA. I'm nervous as I'm new to it. But at the same time excited :)

@richdavies3575 5 лет назад

Superb ride Katie. Great video, beautiful scenery, well edited. Gonna have to get up there and do that ride, bit different to Suffolk and Essex where i live. Very inspirational video, well done again!

@treyquattro 5 лет назад

@KatieKookaburra 6 лет назад

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it! 🚴‍♀️😎

@kennyroberts830 6 лет назад

So happy for all involved that the weather was benign, otherwise there would have been a lot more tears in general, well done, it really doesn't get much harder than that!

@gamma_dablam 4 года назад

Shockingly it does. This event is already in mad hatter territory though so for most normal people it is the pinnacle 😅

@stevenbunton1142 6 лет назад

@KatieKookaburra 6 лет назад

I won't ever forget it! Going to get the picture framed. Someone recommended that to me and love the idea! Thanks for the support Dave :)

@PathfinderGregg 5 лет назад

Never heard of the Fred. I live in the US which is why I suppose. That hill! Otherwise the scenery was awesome! So beautiful.

@KatieKookaburra 6 лет назад

Thanks David! 😌

@Tonytruand09 6 лет назад

9:31 this is one of my favourite parts of this video... when you play with the music rhythm and the tilted angle of recording.... so well put together! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

@KatieKookaburra 6 лет назад

Thanks so much! You are so good to me :) xx

@palmer3977 6 лет назад

@WKG111 6 лет назад

Fabulous video! Your tears at the message on the road brought a lump to my throat, great ride guys.

@KatieKookaburra 6 лет назад

It really did get me didn’t it 😪 wow so so kind!! So glad you enjoyed the vid x

@WKG111 6 лет назад

It would have got me too. I'm far more emotional than any 43 year old man should be 😭

@Stuartrusty 6 лет назад

Amazing footage, really get the impression of how just how steep it is. A massive well done to you and Jay!

@KatieKookaburra 6 лет назад

Thanks Stuart ☺️☺️

@nickdalby5450 2 года назад

The other comments say it all👍😃. But for me, to see people walking up the hills was inspirational. I have ability issues that I am overcoming by cycling and now wont feel such a failure if I have to walk. THANK YOU

@marksmith566 6 лет назад

Absolutely fantastic, great filming and full of emotion, this was one of your best 👍

@KatieKookaburra 6 лет назад

Thanks so much Mark, yeah I loved this one! x

@SteveSzmilek 6 лет назад

@kibo40 4 года назад

Absolutely lovely video, if that doesn't encourage people to get out on their bikes then nothing will. Thoroughly enjoyed that thank you.

@r0bv123 6 лет назад

Great ride, thanks for sharing! And yea, just watching this made me cry too! :)

@lawrencesmeaton6930 6 лет назад

Hey, I'm the guy who borrowed a tube off of your friend at the finish to fit my friends deep section rims! Great video, great day out too! :)

@KatieKookaburra 6 лет назад

Heeeey Lawrence! Did you friend get it sorted in the end? Them damn expensive wheels 😂 Yeah it was such a great day out, glad you enjoyed the vid! x

@succ222 6 лет назад

@andyblades8946 3 года назад

Love this video Katie! Got my first Fred Whitton Challenge later this year, and already dreading Hardknott 😳😬

@ColinCharlesworth 6 лет назад

great video yet again. i was there at the same time as you but doing a slightly different challenge. i walked 45 miles over all the 3000ft peaks over 24hrs for charity (no sleep).. loved and hated it at the same time... legs are in bits so no cycling for a while.... looks like you had a super day. when i saw the signs i really wanted to do it.... maybe next year.... congratulations on riding such an epic route... kudos

@KatieKookaburra 6 лет назад

Wow!!!! That is an epic challenge Colin, well done!! Yeah give it a go next year, or do the route on a day you know the weather will be nice. I imagine it's not very pleasant in bad weather.

@ColinCharlesworth 6 лет назад

Thanks Katie, although the Fred Whitton challenge isn't to be sniffed at either.. I love that somebody wrote your name on the floor too, what a wonderful "pick me up" - I needed that at the bottom of Scafell - Keep up the awesome work and hopefully we shall pass routes and give the knowing cycling nod to each other. Im out this Friday for a blast up t'dales (if my legs will allow that is)

@rossjames858 6 лет назад

I was lucky enough to get a deferred place for it, and I feel tremendously lucky that I did. It is an amazing event and the support from people lining the route was truly overwhelming, to the point I filled up quite a few times! I'm pretty sure I saw you and Jay at some point, but I'm not sure where lol. Shame you didn't ride all of Hardknott, but there's always next year!

@IA9876 6 лет назад

Well done Katie, great riding. That's a crazy tough route.

@C.Medina 6 лет назад

Very inspiring Kate. You are living life to the max!

@lolgrant 4 года назад

'Hopes may rise on the Grasmere, but honey pie, you're not safe here, so you run down to the safety of the town.' It may be the Fred Whitton but don't PANIC! Soz but as a big cycling AND Smiths fan it was Hardknott to. Oh and mahoosive chapeau! btw to you and Jay. It's on my list.

@sw9506 6 лет назад

@GuyRWood 6 лет назад

Well done Katie and Kay, what an epic ride! I did a 76 mile sportive with 1,300 metres of climbing on the same day. You two must be crazy, not sure I could hack the Whitton 😁.

@KatieKookaburra 6 лет назад

Wow that's amazing! Well done on your ride x

@scotttyryu750 6 лет назад

Well done Katie , into my 2nd week in Mallorca, watched this in bed slightly squiffy and filled up when you booed over the go kook & jay, well done on the hard ride , keep the vids going 🤗

@KatieKookaburra 6 лет назад

Ahhh Scott enjoy Mallorca!! So glad it touched you as well, honestly what an amazing thing to do!! :)

@andydinwoodie1497 5 лет назад

@mhe8545 4 года назад

That is a climb! I live in the “little” mountains of West Virginia, USA. Love climbing but still struggling.You have beautiful places to ride.

@vistasuprema 4 года назад

I wish I lived in a place like this. Just getting back into riding. Went on my club C ride yesterday and was utterly destroyed by some small climbs. Such a long way to go, but it would be so much easier to be inspired in a place like you're riding, than it is in the suburbs of Philadelphia.

@Tonytruand09 6 лет назад

8:12 you deserve the reconnaissance miss.... you are AMAZING! 😉😉😉😉

@jimswheels 6 лет назад

Reminds me of the backside of Der Moselle climb to Cochem (Deutschland/Rhineland-Pfalz). Avg 14% for 4km. Way to ride it out, Katie.

@steve-bs3qp 6 лет назад

Great video brings back memories from last year when I took part thank you Kate

@KatieKookaburra 6 лет назад

Ahhhh glad you enjoyed it Steve. It’s a great route isn’t it. What was the weather like for you?

@steve-bs3qp 6 лет назад

We had a mini heat wave last year which made the climbs a real challenge especially Hardknott pass

@deadpool8340 6 лет назад

Well done you two.cant beat a bit of nice weather for a change

@meneersjonnie 6 лет назад

Good job Katie! Wow those endless straight climbs without hairpin turns must be very painfull. Must be hard to get into a good climbing flow.

@KatieKookaburra 6 лет назад

Yeah I think mentally it makes them tougher as you know there's not rest coming up haha.

@DarenC 6 лет назад

Good effort! Love that you got some road graffiti! Those cows were amazing - I almost stopped to take a photo, but my mates were already a far enough ahead of me. :D They kindly waited a few times for the old man. Lovely day for it wasn't it? I passed you somewhere after Fangs Brow - didn't recognise you. I think if I'd seen the "VEGAN" jersey it might have twigged, but I didn't notice it. Maybe next time! :D

@KatieKookaburra 6 лет назад

Well done for completing Daren, it was an absolutely gorgeous day out. I loved it! Yeah look out for the vegan jersey next time haha. Those cows though..... 😍😍😍

@barryhambly7711 6 лет назад

Thanks for showing lovely to see on a great day as well, beautiful don't suppose I will ride it but would love to

@Tonytruand09 6 лет назад

8:22 ooooooooo I just saw Jay! You sir also have part of this success!!! 😎 whoop whoooooop!

@HelenWilkie 6 лет назад

@parttroll1 6 лет назад

Could have given you a Jennings to sup at the end. Proper local Lake District brew. Gratz on completing the Fred Whitton

@DavidCulshawmer-r 6 лет назад

big well done you two :) , I've hiked and driven up and down those passes and they are proper hard work ( let alone riding a bike up them ) , it's 5 stars from me ;)

@FallNorth Год назад

The guy with the single pannier climbing the hill of doom @7:16 wants to stick a bag on the rack *behind* him in his slipstream. It's measurably less drag, a rectangular pannier to the side is about as bad as it gets for drag, over 112 miles that's going to make a difference [when not climbing hills of doom]. It's not like it looks totally full or anything?

@mavisness_7848 6 лет назад

Brilliant video, stunning photography and smart edit. Really enjoyed it. My only tiny, tiny, totty gripe I have is as with a lot of vloggers, please take your shades off when doing pieces to camera. I know it's not always possible if grabbing a quick shot.

@johnshaw8013 3 года назад

First time I did Wrinose Pass, was 1994 in an 1987 MG Metro. It only just got up the hill and over heated at the top! BIG HILL! Steepest inclines in the UK!

@bricyprus4118 6 лет назад

Well done katie from cyprus

@KatieKookaburra 6 лет назад

Thanks, hello to the lovely Cyprus. I visited Kyrenia a few years back and it was stunning! We went up to St Hilarion castle! Absolutely stunning!

@langdalepass 5 лет назад

Hi Katie, I rode Hardknott today ice on the ground in parts. Your name is still clearly visible on the ground , by coincidence when I was looking at the ride beforehand last night on youtube this video was one I watched so I knew what the name related to when I saw it.

@KatieKookaburra 5 лет назад

Ahhh you absolute beast riding up it today - with ice on the roads!! It’s bad enough gripping the road in dry weather! Well done!
