Jesus Christ, that’s cold. What were you expecting? I don’t know. Warm water. I have come up with a challenge called Bridge to Bridge. It’s Tower Bridge suspension bridge. One day, one continuous cycle. It’s our 2025 Mogi. It’s about 125 miles in total, 200k. Should be about 10 hours of riding, maybe 12 to 14 hours in total by the time we add in brakes and refueling and stuff. We’re starting in a few minutes, so I better get there now. So, what’s the route? Well, this route has around 1,800 m of elevation across the total ride. We’re planning on stopping twice. Once at Reading and then once at Morbra. And it’s the final push onto Bristol and the Gibson suspension bridge. It’s a beautiful day in London. It’s so nice to be riding through the city so early. I just rode here from Hamstead. Almost giddy to start, I’ll be honest. So, I have got the tool kit and lights. I couldn’t find my little saddle bag. I was tempted to bring mine tomorrow. Got to get my fat head in the way. Let me get this boy in. [Music] [Music] [Music] We’re 50k in bund 2 and a half hours. How you feeling? How’s the gu? Mine’s a bit sore, but your wrists from leaning down. I tweaked my foot like tennis on Thursday. Okay. Said I wouldn’t tell you. Keep the excuses to myself. Keep them for 150k, not uhoh. [Music] [Music] Leg one done. 3 hours 50 minutes. 77K. Made it home. It’s going to be the hard bit. Being motivated to get up and go out again when you’re already at home. Fair bit over a third of the way. It’s getting hot now, though. You can really feel the heat. Refuel, get some water on board, and go again. [Music] [Music] Right, pit stop time. It’s 4 hours 15 minutes in. 103k just in Newbury. About to get a monster and some snacks. Feel good so far. Bit tired, but doing all right. [Music] Now just put it behind if it lights. Okay. [Music] Had [Music] it pretty 127k though there 6 milesi. You ready to go again or you a minute? [Applause] Let’s give it a go. [Music] Right. Made it to Mubra. 132km 6 hours 10 minutes. We stopped here to get some lunch on a little breaks, but it’s hot now. It’s uh 25 1. It’s like 30 31°. It is resting. Absolutely resting. We got another 2 or 3k to then go to Ike Ike’s in-laws. Yeah. Stop to have a cup of tea, eat lunch, and then uh head on for the last leg. Good God, he’s hot. Nice. Jesus Christ. That’s cold. What were you expecting? I don’t know. Warm water. Woo. Where are the bubbles? I wasn’t that cold. Jesus. 155km. 7 hours. 155. Just outside chipping them. [Music] [Music] 7 hours 45 in. 166k. Last pit stop. Starting to flag now. Oak’s getting cramp. Tough going. We’re going to do it. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. N. [Music] [Music] [Music] There she is. The bridge. Bro, we [ __ ] did it. [ __ ] did it, man. 202K. Nice work. [Music] [ __ ] man. [ __ ] We did it. Oh my god, that is rotten. Let’s finish as we started. And there we have it. The hardest ride I’ve ever done for now. There will be others. [Music] [Music] It’s so quiet around the city. [Music] Do you love [Music] me? [Music]
