I don’t have a problem with Children in Need!
Where did I say that?
My original point was that the challenge isn’t going to be that much of challenge compared to what has been done before.
If Paddy Mc was a riding an unmodified Chopper it would be an almost impossible task and would probably cause some serious chronic injuries if it was completed.
As it is, he will be riding a relatively heavy bike with reasonable geometry, which is fair enough, I don’t think anyone should wreck their back/knees/hips etc doing something like this. He will also have proper brakes and a decent saddle.
My point about charity still stands, if they could the Tories would have us like the US in a heartbeat, everything privatised and lots of stuff being provided by philanthropist’s, so we can all tug our forelocks to our kind and generous overlords.
