beautiful day just on my way to london to pick up a brand new top secret bicycle that i can't talk
about or show you but the person who's got the bicycle and who i'm picking it up from is very
very interesting and is about to embark on one of the most extreme bike rides you could possibly do
carolyn hello hello welcome to the video this is the person who's uh been looking after the
top secret bike which i'm not allowed to get on i'm gonna have to censor it pixelated it's really
good that's not the secret it's really good it's really nice so there's a reason caroline
is having to get rid of this bike and it's because she's about to cycle around the world
yeah what the whole way as far as do now this is like we just have to keep that in mind there is
a pandemic going but yeah hopefully the whole way don't you do this on the camera and i get it that
was when i'm shy what that's up there there's like a cow noise there's definitely no cows in stratfor
in short i'm cycling as far as i can around the world with my husband david
we are starting in canada because that's the only place where we can go right now
with uh being double jabbed uh all the way down so from white horse in canada yukon to vancouver
and then after vancouver we'll fly to seattle because the board is still closed and all the
way down to probably texas or florida we're not really sure yet and then from there south america
then so south america normally is going to be peru bolivia argentina after that it will be
kind of all the west part of africa sorry east part of africa so it's going to be sort of from
cape town all the way up to kenya and from there then normally in the if it reopens and possibly in
new zealand and a bit of australia if it reopens as well so it's kind of all up in the air right
now how much we can do and we have six months so we need to be back in april but until then we're
hoping to do eighteen thousand miles total and go through two antipodal points in one direction
which could qualify us at like proper cycling around the world but it's really all up in the
air so we'll see what happens and then as part of that and the challenge we're raising money for
uh bart's charity which is basically supporting the health trust in east london so that's what
we're doing i think everywhere it's going to be pretty surprising and pretty exciting i'm really
excited to go back to africa because i really like it there and i've been mostly you know
in south africa so far so i think namibia botswana uh i think also uganda wonder are going to be
absolutely epic and amazing i'm really looking forward to see that i've been to south america
before never been cycling there so i'm kind of looking forward as well to uh peru in bolivia
i think it's gonna be quite amazing and it's always fun to go to the u.s mostly because of
the americans so it's like as soon as you tell them i'm cycling something they're like oh my
god it's so cool and then they invite you over and like so i think it's gonna be a lot of fun
what place are you the most apprehensive about because you earlier mentioned bears
now yeah i think canada definitely knows canada because wildlife uh but mostly because of the
cold we're gonna have to sleep rough in some uh some parts there because i mean in yukon you
have like 500 kilometers between two cities so there's not really any option in between
and the chance to find you know food or yeah it's just going to be a bit complicated so i'm a bit
apprehensive of that and also that's where we are starting so we'll kind of be testing a lot of the
equipment there so if we have any problem it'll be minus five degrees far away from everything
so we'll have to figure out a way to sort of find help so yeah that's going to be a bit tricky but
we'll see so we have a website and as well dot watcher is putting up a page on their website
for following the challenge we have a gps tracker on ourselves so people will be able to see where
we are and just you know send us a message and say yeah you can do it or something like that so i
think it's going to be a lot of fun and hopefully what we are hoping is that if kovid and everything
comes down after a while maybe people will be able to join us for like a few days
or like for a leg something like that that'll be a lot of fun we're gonna ride to london now
are you ready for that i'm ready for that i think i should manage quite a big ride
so
should probably point out caroline is currently the one riding the top secret bike i am just on
her volante which uh she's leaving behind heading to regent's park we're going to do some laps
together get a little bit footage of her riding for some promotion and then do the old switcheroo
oh [ __ ] are we safe now we're safe now i don't know i'm not a londoner anymore
cycling mikey's corner yeah shout out cycling mikey doing the god's work you
know when you've been doing something for so long preparing and then you're not sure it was
it's actually going to happen even yesterday when i was cycling back from work
i was telling myself i'm going to be hit by kana because because i i'm like in my head it's just
not going to happen something's gonna happen and stop it i'm gonna get covered or something
but we'll see once i'm pushing the pedal i know it's happening and it's just i'm on it
for when you're in the yukon
this is basically my old commute and it's a stark reminder of why we ended up moving up north well
it's kind of fun in like a adrenaline junkie way so to conclude things i now have a top secret bike
mission accomplished carolyn and her husband are starting their challenge in the next couple
of days i'll put a link down below to their website her instagram and the donation page
if you want to check out the charity that they're supporting fantastic cause amazing challenge i'm
sure you'll agree uh there isn't much more to top that maybe if things calm down in terms of travel
we could go and see them on the road thank you as always for watching please like comment and
subscribe and i'll see you guys soon for some videos back up north time to get the train
