He's pushing himself on this - real pedal power.
He had a tough day yesterday and it will be even worse today. I bet he hates that bloody rickshaw!

It could all be worth it - he's raising some serious money.

Bloody well done - not all TV presenters are just hot air.

Lots of respect for him, that looks so hard and the machine looks so heavy. He's no stranger to 'bikes either. Was out in the Peak District on Sundays "Country File" on an mtb and I seem to remember him doing some downhilling in the south west in a previous episode. Good luck Matt.

very good luck to him on this, that will weigh masses on the up hills and the plan is for him to have passengers for a lot of the time some of the hills are going to really be a struggle. Faster to walk so fair play to him.

No idea he was doing this. Good on him.

just looking at the map and he came within 2 miles of my house yesterday!

Pity I was 80 miles north of my house at work at the time!

He's going past where I used to live tomorrow. If he'd done it 5yrs ago I could have given him a wave smile
