Nick Grimshaw doing some cycling?

I appreciate not many of you listen to the tosh that is Radio 1 (edit: because you are all far too upper clahhhs with your audis etc etc…) but some of you may have heard this cycle challenge that Nick Grimshaw is doing (there is an advert every 30seconds about it so you must have!), don’t worry I dislike him as much as you lot do I imagine.

Anyway, point is: he says he is going to try to cycle 1000 miles in 12 hours? 😯 now how I just missed part of this challenge or have they got the challenge all wrong and were meant to say 100?

Anyone explain?

p.s. I like listening to Scott Mills mainly because of the random crap they talk about and Sarah Cox was hilarious!!!! I might have to migrate to Radio 2 with her but at the prime age of 24 I feel I am not allowed, although I do often listen to Radio 4 when I get sick of the crappy music on Radio 1.

Anyway, cycling yeh, talk to me.

If he can average 83 mph, then fair play! I guess it’s that he’s part of a team that’s going to try and clock 1000 miles in 12 hours, or whatever. I’m a bit more in awe of Jo Whiley trying to run for 26 hours solid – shirley not?

It’s part of a relay I think, he’s not doing 1000 miles by himself just a 12 hour stint

It’s on a turbo trainer outside Radio1, thing on Bike Radar about it. Still not gonna be 1000 miles!

he’s doing 12 hours. but hes accompanied by 4 others (on and off) so it’s 200 mi each per bike

OK! Thought that might be the case! Davina McCall’s effort was pretty decent also to be fair, especially with the crappy weather she had!

Surely Sir Bradley Wiggin’s appearance on the Archers is more relevant old chap 🙂

Yes, The Archers is the important cycling/radio tie in news Tim Bentick (David Archer) got some stick for posting pics of himself with Sir Bradley I think.

That’s because David Archer is a first class c**t, the only two more annoying than him are Brian & Tom. Bloody landowners!!

I live in France and The Archers is a fantastic reminder of Englishness haha, so it often gets listened to over here.
