Good on you Zoe Ball

[johnnyb47]

Hi.
Yesterday Chris Evans was interviewing Zoe Ball on Radio 2.
She's doing a 300 odd mile bike ride in March for Sport Relief, and for Mental awareness.Sadly her recently belated boyfriend suffered from mental issues which I can well imagine is the driving force for her wanting to do this for charity.
I think it said she was riding from Blackpool to Brighton which fair old ride any time especially this time of the year.
Good luck Zoe !!!! :-) :-) :-)

That's a decent ride for anyone never mind someone who has only just started cycling

Looked like she had a good reception from the locals in Upton Magna, very nearby to me, last night. A great effort and what must be a very emotional challenge for her as well.

Hi again. Just in case you didn't know, but there is a program on BBC 1 tonight documenting her charity ride. It's starts at 9.00 :-) :-)

Whoever sized her on that bike should be ashamed of themselves.

[QUOTE 5189365, member: 45"]She needs some advice on gears when climbing as well.

But, she did good.[/QUOTE]
Gear selection was terrible and a granny gear would have helped.
She has fallen off twice due to being in the wrong gear.

And is she wearing road pedals?

Well done Zoe, well done ...

I think that week she rode it was really cold. Well done that girl :-).

Thanks for letting us know. My Freesat box (or satellite dish?) is playing up so I would probably have missed it. It is on iPlayer so I will watch it that way now.
