Is anybody else extremely bored with hearing about this already? I might be able to grin and bear if there was more of a challenge involved but it really annoys me that the team constantly hype it up as if it's on a par with Kilimanjaro.
All they have to do is cycle for 2hrs at an average speed of 13mph and they only need to do this twice every 24hrs. They've been provided with all the necessary equipment and have an (overly) large support team. I'm sorry but anybody with a basic level of fitness could do it. I know it's for charity but I think it's a shame that this challenge is being given so much airtime when others are far more donation-worthy e.g.Lawrence Dallaglio's Cycle Slam and Helen Skelton's Amazon Challenge.
It also doesn't help that Moyles and company try and justify the challenge with stupid comments. My favourite so far is this classic from Dominic Byrne; "unless you're in the gym with a television in front of you cycling is really dull".
