Million Pound Bike ride (BBC one NOW)

[gaz]

Anyone watching? i didn't realise they did it the hard way round. Already it looks amazing, some great views and the bad weather just makes it exciting.

I know the end result but i can't wait to see them complete it.

I've got big respect for these guys, it's probably not that hard for some of us to do 26miles, and wait a while to do the next stint. But these guys aren't cyclists

Big respect to davina for going on alone.

So Davina and Patrick to host BBC 1's new cycling magazine programme?

Am recording it to watch tomorrow,so I won't read too much of the thread.Heard quite a bit about it on Radio 1 at the time,so am looking forward to it.

What a great way to raise money for a good cause, and have a great time while doing it.

 

[alecstilleyedye]

good on 'em, i just hope it doesn't promote the ill-conceived notion that cycling is too hard for all bar charity rides though…

Full of respect for them after seeing that. While it was it going on I thought the relay nature of one on while the others rest was a bit of a swiz, but after seeing it I realise how hard they pushed themselves.
Respect.

And respect to Patrick - a bit of a dark horse - good ave speeds

Respect.

I agree - before the event I thought they were going to have it easy doing it in shifts but that looked incrediabley hard. I felt they all should be really proud of themselves and what they achieved apart from Jimmy Carr. I noted that when David W. fell off the guy picked up the bike before going to see how he was.

And as others have pointed out that the fastest rider was Patrick ... and also commented on his nutrient suppliments that he was using. That's obviously where I'm going wrong.
