Thank you so much

A great intro Vanessa, the tension of the build up and beyond the point of turning back, not that you would with the best hand picked back up team. It's these behind the scenes videos that show that we are all human, (apart from if you're a dog, a cat or a marsupial etc that doesn't have a grasp of 21st century aural language understood by the dominant bipedal species..... oh hang on I've had to work with some exceptions to this in the past). Anyway it's a tense time for the whole TGOAB team. Many thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Yey thanks so much dude mega appreciate you watching and so glad you enjoyed it

In the early eighties I had the plan myself to go for Dakar. Back then it was probably a lot easier to participate, but I could never have managed to go to all these preparations. It literally takes years to get ready for a race like that and being an unknown small-village person without connection or support in the rally world nearly impossible. But really interesting to see what's needed to get to the startline of that epic race👊😎

Oh thank you. Yeah it’s so true. They often say that getting into the Starlin is as hard as getting to the finish line. And it really does take a huge amount of planning preparation and funding

This was nine days ago, I love when you are doing these rally's they are so great seeing all the behind the scenes stuff and watching you overcome. I took note of one things in this video I would like to point out at one point you said, "I am over all this I just want to get to the starting line." I think is the quote that shows that you are not thinking that you should not be there, that you want to bail and go home. What this shows is you are having nervous excitement and want to get on with it and that say you got this, now go have fun and conquer the mountain I spoke about in my last post.

Great that you give us this behind the scenes. You were really getting nervous ;-) and why shouldn't you? Good idea to have your crew do their own behind the scenes. Looking forward to more episodes, Günter/Nürnberg

Hmmm shopping cart heist or was it a distraction? Rides after dark are not fun, especially if the path isn't sure. Oh, the crew filming will be fun .... cannot wait to see those also.

OMG, your comment has made me giggle. Honestly on a previous race. I did get an upset tummy and I had to pull over on the side of the road on the liaison and do a poo. Thankfully it came out very quickly… Not glamorous. lol You'll enjoy part 4 🫣

@@TheGirlOnABike you have reminded me of marathon runners. I watched the London Marathon many years ago now, and I remember Paula Radcliffe slowing down and I'm like, c'mon girl you can do it.... Wait... what's she doing? What? Eeewwwww! Right there on LIVE TV. I'm like, do we really need to see Paula Radcliffe go to the loo? I mean it's kinda hilarious and it's probably, actually the best thing so far watching the marathon, but a bit of dignity wouldn't go a miss! 🤣🤣🤣

Do you ever have problems with your hands/joints when riding so much off road? What about sitting?

@TheGirlOnABike

4 ай бұрын

Body position is a major factor, if you can get that on point then the pressure and strain on your hands, wrists and joints is very minimal! This is something iI learnt the hard way - I was often shredding my hands and would have achy joints, but since learning about the correct postioning I have not had any issues since! Hope that helps

​​@@TheGirlOnABikeWell, seems I didn't do it right for many decades, now the joints of my thumbs are worn and depending on the bike I'm using there are days I can' do more than 300-400km. It hurts a lot, only on my Harley Sportster or one of my enduro bikes I'm able do go further distances.
