00:09Je passe toutes les nuits

00:13We've had a few mechanical failures this morning

00:18So we come up with the idea of cycling to Paris

00:21From Pluckley, where the business was started from, on the farms

00:24And we thought we'd raise money for Young Life Foundation

00:27It's going to go towards helping young people

00:30Give them a much better chance in life as well

00:32Hello guys, thank you

00:45Got a pump?

00:47Ok

00:49Go James

00:54Not too good for me today so far

00:57You've never ridden a bike had you before this?

01:04No I've ridden a bike but

01:12Right it's day 2, yesterday was really really good

01:15Don't end up like Jack, 3 hours in a farmer's field

01:17Don't know if you saw us go down it

01:19Wondering where he's going to go

01:21Yesterday was at 3am so 9am kick off is a lot better

01:24It's a lot better

01:33I'm tired but I'm going to keep peddling

01:35Our pains are minor compared to these young people's

01:38Charity's fantastic at dealing with young people's problems

01:42Quite overwhelming really, like we've managed to raise a lot of money

01:45Which is, yeah it's awesome

01:46What we're raising goes to a form of an enterprise

01:50So we're taking 16 to 18 year olds

01:53And we're doing a little programme with them

01:54We're showing them how you run a company

01:57If we can get to the 50,000

01:59That's 50 kids supported and mentored for a year

02:02And at the end of the programme there's a prize

02:05And the prize is working capital for them to run their business

02:11This is the easy bit

02:12I'm snotting

02:13This is death

02:14It's quite easy for me to say

02:15I'm driving a f***ing van

02:17If you get to the bottom of here and go left

02:19There's a place called Café de la Place

02:21We've been dropped off at this play park

02:23There was meant to be a café

02:25Café is closed

02:31You're done

02:32You're done

02:33I'm not done done

02:34How's that going mate?

02:35Can you carry on then can you?

02:37For a little while

02:38Sanity's trying to kick in

02:45Have we started?

02:46I thought that was just the morning warm up

02:51Be relaxed

02:53It was just a long time

02:55My little brother, there was no race.

03:25Are we doing starters and mates?

03:30Just take us through the journey.

03:31James Davey may have been a deliberate puncher to get out of cycling.

03:36Kemo, you went to Dimchurch, which is completely the wrong way.

03:41Tim and James went on another detour.

03:44It's been awesome.

03:45I absolutely loved it myself and hopefully we'll do it again at some point.

03:55If I knew them, I would make them compliments.

04:02The same things I did to you.

04:06I would make them compliment.

04:21I would make them compliments.

04:24I got a few ideas for you.
