Sheffield there 10 points I’ve got to get to you plan your own route you’re not allowed any support and you have 72 hours to do it so it’s Friday night and I’ve got until Monday night to be honest I don’t know if I can do it within the time it’s meant to be a race but I’m just viewing it as I’ll be happy if I finish so yeah I don’t have much confidence in myself I’m quite scared about sleeping outside on my own but it’s an adventure it’s a challenge and this one he’s not doing it but he’s getting the sage rolls in hey now we’re back in England I got some proper gr yeah s r and I’m not not used to wearing these caps but I’m not sure if I like it or not but I’m going to wear it to be in the spirit is it I feel like I feel like it makes my face like a peanut anyway I’m number four and just going to see how it goes I’m not going to film loads and loads cuz I want to focus on the riding but I film what I can let’s go and see Penny actually Penny’s over here there’s lots of people here go on then looks like a peanut without the Cal hey here she is she’s ready so we’ve got I was going to do a bike setup video but I’ve been in bed ill since we got back from it having a Kyle had a really bad cold I’ve actually got dry in a Sho so luckily today is the first day where I’m starting to feel a little bit better so hopefully cuz at one point in the week I did think I was going to have to cancel so we’re here we’re going to fight it anyway here’s Penny she’s ready so quick bike fit video bike setup video not B fit Calia saddle it’s an endurance boost jelly one so it’s nice tailin bag full of snacks there is a jacket potato in there um exposure lights for the long battery we’ve got two on the front one for when it’s really dark and one for when it’s just a little bit dark gy solar one hope it’s going to left I’ve got power ports with me and then you know you’ve seen my b before if you’ve seen it it’s the Pinella X7 endurance that’s a lot of sponsored stuff there just to be totally honest apart from the tail thing I did buy this myself everything else is sponsored and which I’m very very grateful for CU it allows me to do these rides and nice as well cars about the tires plan of races anyway um yeah I’m just I’m nervous but I’m excited for the challenge and I said I was going to do this last year but I couldn’t cuz I had exams so here we’re going to go for it it’ll be the biggest challenge I’ve done on my own and yeah let’s just do it the nerves are building now and yeah I don’t know if I mentioned you have to like plan your own route so it’s all planned yourself hopefully I’m not going to get lost but Kylie will’ll be there at the end won’t you promise me promise be that W you mhm also I’ve still got my zero Nails on one to come off and I think by the end they’ll all come off watching on the tracker yeah you watch on the tracker I might put my hair in plat I think it’s going to get very messy today I’m not a pack mule I’m a snack mule this I’m not joking you full of snacks there’s a sweet potato jacket potato in I’m not joking snacks everywhere snacks for days because I’m not going to be sleeping till tomorrow night got to get through the nights without food or sacrifice succulents I don’t know what I’m saying anyway got me snacked in I’m ready basically I’ve got some nervous energy I’m trying not to you know I know I get very high on the back and try not to do that because I don’t want to waste any energy so sorry about that sorry about that from Kyle so I’m going to try and remain calm I have passed my cold on to Kyle someone’s bikes over there and um yeah all I’ve got left of the cold is a headache so I think I can deal with that I normally have a headache home from Kyle anyway right we just had the ride briefing I panicked as much as I can it’s time to do this let’s [ __ ] here he is Kyle’s going on a ride with n tomorrow so they might send me some words of encouragement tomorrow or Sunday anyway hopefully 72 was time I’ll be back here made it out of shefford absolutely great start my hi viz PBP jacket flew off the back of my tail fin luckily some random was going past in the car and was like oh another sist has picked it up for you so I waited and someone had got it for me so thanks to the fell who did that nice and secure on now let’s keep on going 12 miles in and already I feel so relaxed so happy if I stick to my route I’ve got 600 67 miles left to go so a long way but I’m just going to enjoy this as much as I can for me this isn’t a race it’s just proving to myself that I can do hard things and that I’m not just here for sponsorships or an influencer I ride my bike and everything else comes on top of that you know if I can make a bit of a living out of doing what I love then I’m here for that but ultimately if everything went as long as I can still ride my bike I’m happy and yeah let’s do this and not letting self-doubt be self-doubt beat me someone just came out to cheer me on which is really really nice so yeah let’s do this hey hey made to control Point new ho 1 25 mil in quite a long way to go but here we are here’s the beacon I’ve answered the question I’ve written on my BR I’m not going to stop for long i’ got to keep going so you probably can’t see me at all it’s Pitch Black it’s midnight been going for 4 hours done 54 miles taking it really steady cuz as my dad text me before I started this is a war not a battle it goes on for a while um I had a bit of a panic at 11:00 I started thinking I can’t do this I got really scared about the dark started thinking someone’s going to try and attack me um I saw a car like R driving behind me really slow for ages and I started getting really panicky but now I’ve settled into it and it’s like only 5 hours till the sun rises so once I’ve got through this first night I’ll be really happy because the next two nights I’m going to get a bit of sleep in so that’ll be nice using my phone as a torch probably like something out of from the most haunted here but I’ve done 8 to2 Miles with control Point number two Byron’s here he’s a fellow Club member um yeah so it’s 2: in the morning feeling quite tired but yeah feeling get ghosty and just keep on going now next control I think is about 45 49 miles I don’t really know but it’s very dark I’m going to whack a sweet potato down go for a we there’s a water running down here it’s making me need a way and then keep on going North Yorkshire hello oh I’m so happy right now it’s 4:00 a.m. I’ve made it through the first night I’ve done 107 miles and look at this the sun is coming up oh the thing I was most nervous about was that first night because I was just really scared about riding in the dark like for a full night on my own without Kyle so I’m very happy wow good morning Summit control Point number three which is scar house I’m having a bit of trouble finding the answer to the question on the brevy it says according to the metal post on

taking my time oh it’s just the best no other way I’d want to spend my bank holiday weekend obviously if Kyle was here it’ be even better but sometimes it’s good to do things on your own and challenge yourself burn it on up burn it on up beams in my tummy fuel pull in me a bit it takes some effort to get up here but boy is it worth it look at that it’s be to the a beautiful this is why I ride that doesn’t calm your mind don’t know what will hey hey it’s a tan hilling not got time to stop today though we got to keep on rolling I’m afraid car would be there for a point if he was there would he I’m h up in the air and I can feel it gee W keep getting all hot and cold one minute I’m hot climbing next minute I’m cold on the top but can’t complain cuz it’s lovely weather it’s not raining but I think it is going to rain tomorrow or Monday so I better make the most of it I can feel the effects of being awake for I’ve been awake for well I got up at 6 yesterday so I’ve been awake for 28 hours no 27 hours so yeah just going to make sure I’m safe that’s my main priority safety is key if I feel tired I just stop and sleep thanks for the warm welcome hello ladies oh man don’t know what you are oh this is gorgeous this is a life wrap this up and take me to it next time I’m stressed sorry I’m just finishing off a Flap Jack just ran Kyle I’m 203 m in and I’ve done over 17 Hi Well Done someone else get fast I’ve done over 177,000 800 ft of climbing I think I was a bit Hill happy when I plan this route pling Nora but feeling good I’ve got 33 mil to the next control and then after that it’s like 47 mil to dunf fell which is the next control I’m going heading into butmir at the minute I’m hoping to get up dunell tonight but we’ll see how it go um I need to get some food before I do that like substantial food like maybe some fish and chips I’m thinking but yeah I’m hoping to get up and down there tonight hopefully by half n and then find somewhere to sleep so we’ll just see how it goes YY woohoo down we go woo hi I’m nearly at the control point I’m doing a big climb up to butmir Lake but I’ve run out of water water and I’m so hot so I just resorted to eat drinking out of the stream I’m so thirsty I’ve never been so thirsty oh I just hope there’s like a somewhere to get some water up here but that water out the stream was nice but I didn’t want to have too much in case it’s bad oh Lord look what I’ve got to go up now on that corner up there I can’t film up there I have to go I’m at B Reservoir look at it and all its beauty I managed to find a great little Shack down there I had to wait about half an hour but down two bottles of water an elderflower press and a bage crisp which is very unlikely cuz don’t normally like crisp but I’m craving some salt I’ve got a really hard leg now ends on the top of uh great Dell it’s like 50 Mi and over 6 1,600 M of climbing don’t know if I’m going to do it all before I go to sleep but we’ll give it to go it’s 4:00 so probably quite late when I get up there because pretty Knick knacked but yeah just need to go and write my brev thing on the side there’s a sign down there I need to put in the brev right on the brev I’m talking d l but yes it’s very beautiful so taking it in and enjoying it oh goodness me I’m really not looking forward to this climb I think I might have to walk some of it if it gets really steep cuz the weight on the bike and the way my legs are feeling I’ll probably fall off if I try and go up any like 20% gradients but I’m going to reward myself with some chips in kzk when I get there so that’s my motivation right now up I go I haven’t walked yet but I’ve got a lot more purple coming so we’ll see that’s where I’m heading I have done this clim before when I did L andron grps few years ago before the YouTube started but yeah it is a burner I remember it for that oh we got a bit of Light Relief Hallelujah H to the lah I made it to the top and I just descended down a little bit on route to kazak Here We Come that was a burner gee Bo sleep deprivation getting to me now I’m looking forward to tuing up in a bit in my bivy bag hello Coes that River down there was literally torture on the way up here cuz I came up here from this side and I was so thirsty oh now I’ve got full water bottles I’m an happy girl again it’s a Simple Pleasures in life sometimes you don’t appreciate just water we need it oh I’m just down in a fish cake mushy peas and chips in front of the KZ cuming sausage kind of love that if he was here anyway I’m guessing I’ll be at the top of Dell about 10:00 p.m. and then I’m going to go to sleep but this is for heaven I actually ate the fish cake already sorry I forgot to video yeah I’m feeling much better now just keep on going it’s all I’ve got to do 6:00 in the p.m. and that fish finger whatever it was fish cake really hit the spot feeling really good again probably going to go to bed about 10ish so in 4 hours hopefully get up and down don’t fell and then that’s the hardest one done I think and then I only have four four left I think but not anywhere near halfway yet because my route is about 677 so far done 260 M so quite happy with that didn’t think I’d do that much by now so on schedule maybe I’ll do it within the time limit we never know I’ll really happy if I do but if I don’t I know I’ve given it my best and that’s all that matters so let’s keep on pling along now the mountains I’m a fan of but this wind I am not it’s going to be a headwind going on didn’t expect that but knuckling down the hatches and getting on with it nothing I can do about it oh my God this is the stupidest thing ever oh let me just say hello to someone hello how doing keep going um I was so desate for a Wei I just sat back like bib shorts down into a nettle I’ve now got a nettle sting on my bum which really Plumbing hurts so that that’s the tiredness levels gee boys can always rely on Morrison W start with my bike going down um they basically said I can bring my bike in so I’m going to get some sweets some water some smoothie for the night to keep me going I’m going to cut the camera so I can actually make decision and keep going and get up D fell but yeah smoothie you’re going in me I’m in pen RI by the way don’t go sealing my pen I need that for me brother it’s done fell in the distance a tiny little dot it looks looks clear up there so it’s going to be a nice view probably going to be absolutely freezing but I’ve just down the Snickers so that’ll give me some energy let’s do this oh frak I won see any way to get there so looks like my feet are getting bluming wet this is not what I need I’m just going to walk through cuz I feel like I’m going to fall through fall in I’m having a d movement can do it keep looking up at D fell and just thinking I can’t do it but I can I know I can I’m being tired and being silly I can do it even if I have to walk I can do it now I’ve got to walk through this freak I’m going to have cold bloody feet freak sake what a joke hopefully it’s not too deep but it looks freaking deep to me oh booger I’m going to be cold good Choice balls right need stop being s comeing something he can do it walk through what is going to happen is you’re going to get wet feet and you’re going to get cold that’s it you get warm later it’ll dry off hopefully right tear tantum over right I can’t walk through there or ride through it cuz I don’t want to risk coming off and I do not want to get cold feet through the night so I’ve had a look on my map and I can go back on myself and round a bit further be like 5 miles extra but it’s not worth getting cold feet so I’m just going to do that calm down I’m doing well and after done done pH I’m just going to stop and sleep CU that’s what I need but I need to do D fell today because it’s going to be horrible weather tomorrow morning so it be better just to get it done so let’s just do this well that was a complete waste of time it was a bloing gravel path really muddy I had to walk for 10 minutes and then it was bling flooded so had to walk through a flood so now both my feet are wet anyway it’s what a waste of time but I didn’t get a puncture which I was worried about and now I’m heading to to um gfell so let’s just get this done get some sh eye feeling a lot calmer but it’s very very windy so I’m not going to be staying up there for long making sure to descend nice and slow like I always do anyway I think it’s going to be very windy but let’s keep going chugging along hello sheepy and then we’ll find the bed ins but look at that oh Hallelujah happy happy is an understatement that was the worst and hardest climb I’ve ever done in my life I’ve done that climb before but not when I’m this tired with weight on my bike I walked some of it it’s the first time I’ve ever walked on a climb but I don’t even care I’ve made it I’m so happy oh God no F time to go down and just find some much sleep I’m going to layer up and descend carefully hallelujah oh thank you legs we made it oh we’ got some sheep to grees as well hey there ladies Dell you are not nice right I’m all I’m all layered up I’m in a better mood now I’ve got my PBP hivs on I’m going to descend down carefully and Kyle’s on the phone say hello Kyle hello he’s been motivating me on and he I called him when I cried I think you’re allowed to do that you allowed to call people aren’t you you’re not helping me you’re just talking to supporting people is it no you’re just talking to me right I’m put some me gloves on and I’m going to say goodbye now Kyle I’m going to roll down and I need to find some water but I feel really happy now I’m moving my teer tantrum these things happen I need some sleep so yeah I’m going to go down bye Donnie see you right it’s 3:00 a.m. in the morning I was meant to start again at um half one but my alarm didn’t go off but it’s fine I’ve had 5 hours of sleep so basically a full night sleep feeling great ready to go again found myself a lovely little Bush stop to sleep in last night um it’s currently tipping it down it has been all night so this is going to be fun but I’m really annoyed my arm didn’t go off but I’m just going to get going and like a ghost anyway let’s do this I’m climbing in the rain I’m in the north panes straight onto a climb out a quick smoothie this morning feeling tired but feeling good bit annoyed I had more sleep than I wanted to but but what can you do at least I’ll be feeling a bit fresher maybe I don’t know but this is what I’m doing in the minute bit of red and then hopefully a yipp PE wow good morning I am up high again still climbing up this mall whatever it is run out of water again but it’s 20 to 5 so try and find a pet station or something get some more but I’ve just had a lovely crunchy apple that crunched my thirst a bit so keep on going chuing it down oh so that’s where I’m heart side Summit 1,93 ft up in the air oh yeah oh heaven was found in the form of a campsite tap both bottles are full and I’m climbing again still heading towards the next control purple on the map again it’s another big one done four M minutes controlled feeling happy again Cy dorham land of the prince Bishops more like hand land of the blooming hilly bagers I spotted another Rider ahead of me a fellow All Points Norther I think so that always lifts the spirits up but time for a yippy enjoy it this is my energy levels for a yippe yippe I can’t be wasting energy on yippies and Hill dancing today Hallelujah M the next control rck C Arch very behind schedule because of the over sleep and the tiredness so I don’t know if I’m going to even do it in the time limit but I don’t really care I’m just going to keep riding and see what happens the sun is out so happiness is here in the form of that let’s keep going got 99 miles to the next one so I’m in for a long SLO here having Deja Vu here and back up here again climb back up again I’m heading to Union bridge now which is near Scotland so it be the furthest North that I’ve been so let’s do this also loving my appearance right now this is a picture of why I should do all points North I mean just look at the bloodshot eyes woohoo the sun is shining thank goodness I’m feeling good really enjoying it and whether I meet the time or not I’m going to be proud of myself we just keeping going oh we got C in sheep Yoo good morning I’m still riding yeah yeah yeah my lips are cracked like this horrid desert I do have to say that uh where I slept last night was absolutely great it was like a bush shelter stone walls roof over the top little bench space for me and a space for penny so nothing more I could ask for really I didn’t do a video of it cuz it’s so dark you can’t see a BL but also when I got got there last night after the relief of Dum fell I just need to get straight in bed I didn’t have time to think about the camera but let me tell you one thing I slept like a bush baby in there I wonder I didn’t get up after 3 hours five star accommodation 5 hours of sleep yes I’m was keeping on going theyve got about 60 M to Union bridge I’m up with the turbines and the Sheep hello there oh I’ve just came up another Hill I mean it’s just to be expected now not looked in a mirror for the past I don’t know how long and I don’t really want to probably crack gee boys the spots are out the hair’s a mess but I’m in nature and I’m actually really enjoying it now I’m just taking my time and reminding myself I’ve chosen to do this so just blow and enjoy [Applause] yourself oh climbing again keep putting the ears in and out they come out when I’m hot and they go in when I’m cold but it’s a nice view tops up there keep on going I think we’re going to have a view would you like to see it too I’m just singing to myself now to motivate but we do have a view look at this free wheel we got mands we got downhill we got sheep we got one happy Ry hey watch out car cute oh sweet relief thought my helmet felt really weird then I realized the flat from my cat was underneath that’s why I don’t think I really suit this hat but I’m going with it for the vibe of the event you know you always see the enjoyment riders with them on don’t you oh I’m climbing again there’s no relief from this head’s bobbing around like a woman do know what pom pom there’s more sheep hello ladies oh I’ve got 51 miles to Union bridge I’m going to put my glasses on because my eyes look I don’t know what has happened to them bloodshot and I just fancy sausage roll I feel like it’s probably cuz Kyle’s not here but I’ve never even had a sausage roll in my life hang on a minute I need to get it out but I just saw them and I was like I need something not sweet so here we go oh yeah put me water up get this down and keep it it’s actually burning my fingers it’s so [Music] hot hey Kyle when you’re watching this fresh from my farm this is Farm shop I mean I don’t normally eat okay eat chicken I feel a bit bad but at this state at this point in my life I just needed something and this was FL was calling my name so that was the first sausage roll I’ve ever had in my life that may shock some people but don’t know I’ve just never had one before but it was lovely I like to eat really healthy like at home and stuff but when you’re on a ride especially this distance you just got to eat it’s an eating contest just eat what you fancy and one thing I’ve definitely learned from this ride is is bring a variety of snacks because after a while the cereal bars just get no more I don’t want another cereal bar in my life stray animals yeah one of them is me hello Highlands we’re not in Scotland but we could be bling NE Jack out those horns BL stamping at me not going to disturb you don’t worry I love them I’ve got 38 miles to go now yeah that’s right I’ve done how many miles left up oh 13 miles started feeling really dizzy so so right and we stop right this going down have loads of water and keep on rolling I can do it even if I don’t reach the time of 7 to2 hours which 8:00 tomorrow night I’ll just keep going anyway but I do really want to try and do it in the time that my friends is a good Whitey SK doesn’t even e butter eat to the E bar I’m going a SC CER oh went up another burner the hills are getting harder now I can tell that I’m tired but just keeping going at snail’s pace it’s all I can do and I’ll get there in the end but this is hard but I’m enjoying the challenge of it and yeah I’m just hoping I can make it to the end just walking over a little bridge going over the Ford for yeah the flood that made me cry last night at one of these fluming at no way I’m riding through that oh is that the yellow lights of Heaven I see AKA a petrol station calling for me get me some snacks oh just so I needed my prayers were answered I’m 19 miles from Union but it takes you know scouring the Earth to get there it taking forever but I ran out of all my snacks so I’m thinking go here get something substantial and load up as well cuz don’t know when the next place is going to have snacks so let’s do this oh yeah got some snacks here we have some sandwiches do not how they do don’t know I’m whispering oh um oh yes they do yes they do what we got ham tuna Mayo yes control point8 I’m coming for you woohoo hello birdies what that I spy it’s a fellow all point northa I think otherwise

you look more fresh do you you’re doing well it’s nice to meet another Rider on the road actually a who’s like want a cafe ride now it’s raining now got 52 miles the next control it was lovely just to use a normal toilet to be honest with you just thinking I could do with a shower so someone was listening to me here comes the rain dooby dooby I’m slightly worried cuz whenever I have a high it’s always swiftly follow by a low I think I’m on a hot chocolate high right now so I’m going to try and stay calm just ride keep going at least it’s not cold there is a lovely headwind so going to enjoy that and brace myself in two controls left I’m basically coming home I’m coming home tell Chester I’m coming home I should have said tell him I’ll get him a bone that would have been better but yeah I’m on the way home I’m on my way yeah this hot chocolate High last in a while actually so oh I’m in an craft i’m just loving seeing all the new places dog wash they accept humans in there cuz I need one of them one thing I’m missing is a shower and a toilet like a nice toilet I tell you what going to a proper toilet at that cafe oh it was like heaven halelujah a one you can do one swivel on my middle finger it’s enough for you for one day I tell you gee w is get me on these back roads I’ll take bumps over smoothness and traffic I like some bumps anyway it wakes me up make to feel alive it’s taking its time the sh oh I can hear it where is it y w g wizzy faster than speed like that bad boy right I’m on we search now the next place to see I’m going for a we oh here might be good oh BL should have G that fence there gone past it now keep doing that I keep one thing I’ve learned from this ride is when you see a spot go for it Amy don’t film when you trying to look for a weave found a weave stop realized I’ve done 25 miles since I last control so thought it’s time for some more carbs ham sandwich sandwich I think I was going to say sun and then I said sandwich and then it came out weird but again I don’t normally eat ham normally eat chicken as meat but needs must it’s the sea yippe first shot of the blue sea don’t worry about a thing because every little thing is going to be all right oh I’ve just been singing singing singing to myself I feel really really sick oh now it really is raining thanks for the free shower but I’ve had enough now hey there Castle oh and after the rain comes to the calm right I’ve made it to what’s it called jeid bay geid bay and this you just told me a name but that is weird Wayne I’m so tired he’s just come out to meet me and see me I’ve never met him before but he follows on YouTube so thank you so much so nice friendly face thank you yeah I got a bit lost up there and actually just trusted Google Maps so but oh it feels so good one more control and then to the end so what time is it it’s like 8 8:00 10 10 8 I’ve got 20 just under 24 hours to finish so and I’ve got 210 M to go you will do it yeah let’s do this one more control and then the end 210 mil to go four I don’t know how many I’ve done I’ll have a look in a minute so nice of people to come out it really justes give you a little morale boost so yeah I’m going to hopefully try and do about 30 more miles and then go to bed oh Heaven has been found in the form of a petrol station let got some snacks AKA my dinner some a pasta pot two Bard there for later and chocolate bar for later I forgot to buy some drinks I’m going to go back in and get that before I go but I’ve done 488 mil is that right yeah I think so I think we’ got about 200ish to go so going to eat this keep on going a bit more and then find somewhere to sleep got to head through Newcastle next I’m a bit scared about that but hopefully it’ll be all right I’m on little cycle way in the night right it’s 11:00 p.m. I’ve decided I’m going to sleep for for 3 hours have to stop for 3 hours like a ghost again um and then at 2:00 yeah I’ll go again I think 86 miles to go I’ve to 800 p.m. tomorrow this is my sleeping arrangement for tonight I’m in a graveyard and here’s my sleeping bag done I don’t if you can see it because my phone there you go you can see it yeah that’s my arrangement for tonight so I did get invited to the zerro final in Rome but instead of I’m sleeping in a graveyard so true cyclist here anyway I’m going to go I need to get my sleep see you in the morning okay it’s qu to 2 in the a.m. I didn’t sleep very well at all I think I got about an hour I just kept like getting this horrible feeling someone’s going to come and get me and I kept hearing cars come past and I kept getting really stressed so I just couldn’t relax but I’ve had an hour so that’s good and I’m on the last day 189 miles to go I just really hope that I can do it by 8:00 p.m. but even if I don’t I’ll still be happy just to give it a go so yeah so I’m at a 24-hour Co-op but it’s a Petra station but you’re not allowed to go in they have to go in for you so I’ve just said can I have a bottle of water and a load of snacks so I’ll see what I get but I’ve only done three miles but just thought let’s stock up now and then I’ve got enough power to keep on going okay so I got my bottle of water and she got me three of these I’m not impressed but it’s not it’s chocolate it’ll do right so I’m now going in a lift down to the tunnel that goes under that Big River coming out of Newcastle but I’m really scared of lifts in a normal situation so this is freaking me out is it coming oh God I don’t want to do this what I’m going to have to come on me do it you do it you can do it got to go through this left and then apparently got to go through another left but can’t collect it we’re going down we’re going down didn’t expect this you just go through for a BL time best BL lift

actually pretty cool there’s a side just for cyclist so I’m happy now just get through here and then onto the next place navigated out of Newcastle heading towards I think middle were now just do my shoes up I’ve got 50 miles to the next control I’ve been going really slow this morning cuz I don’t really like riding in the dark too much and um I’ve got the B shorts back on that I had on yesterday and I was getting in the toilet and change them because they were rubbing me but I’ve got water I’ve got two quants very funly enough I don’t even know e Scotch DRS but it’s what a fancy so I’m going to down these save the quants from the G got a bit climb to the control keep on going wow morning is coming so up there that little dot beacon in the distance up on that Hill that’s where I’m heading that’s the next control here we go let’s climb someone else there I’m not going to film for long cuz I need to concentrate on mthing but just want to show you what I’m dealing with right now she wizard trying to kill us off here look at that Nora wow it’s now we go down a bit and then climb back up to the beacon this is beautiful oh that definitely makes the climb worth it gee Wiz it’s 20 8 in the a.m. and I’ve got just under 12 hours 11 hours 40 to go I don’t know if I can make it in the time but I’m going to try feel like I’m climbing the bloing stairway to heaven here never ending I’m in a sauna about to stop and eat a lion bar just to get me up there I’m pretending I’m Ling nearly there gee wizzy it’s going to be such a good feeling when I get there but hope it’s up here cuz I can’t see any Beacon around here hallelujah made it to the top here’s the beacon these lovely people are here too you’re doing all points North are you just on a oh you’re on a long ride actually no I’m just all points North it just looks like I’m on a long ride you’re all points North as well yeah oh yeah rookie Edition oh amazing oh I wondered why you asking how you train I thought you’d got done it that’s amazing well done how many control points have you got this a fin one heading back to Che well done amazing how many have you got this is my last one hey sorry I didn’t think you were doing it cuz you asked me about training tips and I thought oh yeah cuz you’re doing it at 72 anding it since Wednesday yeah but it’s still the it’s still the same achievement I think well do matter how long you take it’s still a massive achievement I’m just really do mental I think I’d rather be doing what you’re doing and have more sleep but yeah you guys to enjoy a little bit more yeah I think you two will be enjoying more than me definitely stopping and up in your breaks oh god I’ve not had a meal I’ve had fish and chips that’s the only meal I’ve had it’s been eating rubbish basically but yeah so I’ve got 110 miles to go I’ve got 11 hours to do it normally that would be easy for me but the way I’m feeling I don’t know I’ve done all 10 control points it didn’t really feel real when I got up there I’ve done 573 miles so far and overall my route is going to be 680 so yeah 7 miles to go quick math one mile down the road I came back past this on the way up dumby Baker up right I’ve got sausage roll got scoon and I’ve got a hiker bar which he said should be called a biker bar so basically these three things are going to be keeping me fueled now for the next 110 miles climbing again but I think it’s the last big climb of the trip it’s beautiful views careful of the cars well look at that that’s where I’ve been down there come back up again we got a nice big descent coming and then I think I’m going to just get my head down and keep ride in and not film for a bit just so I can try and get there for 8:00 the free shower thanks for that rain I need another wash yipp woohoo the rain stopped it was just a short shower now it’s time to go down right I’ve got 78 m to go I’ve had a high I’ve been singing loving it and then I’ve just had a bit of a low I’ve got Cuts where the seams of my bib shorts are and um yeah we not Cuts but it’s starting to it’s just really hard not to focus on it when I’m riding so I’m trying to I’m whacking Lo Shamy cream on which been doing all ride whacking loads of Vaseline on getting on with it I can’t complain cuz everything’s been really good all ride like no injures so far touch wood and stuff so oh the last five miles were just the best found a petrol station had two of mcco salt and vinegar crisps I’m a changed woman I had a milkshake water I’ve got a fizzy mango thing in my back pocket that I’m not tried yet and I’ve got some crisps here Shamy cream and I was just rolling along this really busy road that was full of traffic all at a St still rolling down the side sing All Points North oh God then I was listening to Ice Ice Baby n n n n I do fear that this is going to turn into a low but I’m taking the high while it comes the cuts are there but I don’t care I’m nearly there I’ve got 70 Mi to go so come on Amy let’s get jiggy with it get pedaling just wanted to fly off something yeah I was making people laugh on the road anyway so that’s my mission for today done made someone smile I’ll BL Nora Heavens open

got 61 miles to go and I’ve got 2 3 4 5 6 7 6 hours so come on Amy 55 miles to go count them down now not long now right it’s got 40 m left it is I don’t know what time it’s 24 I’ve got 4 hours and 20 minutes that last 10 miles was the worst I ended up going over a bluming this seab bridge thing it’s the cycle paath I ended up on the bloom dual Carriage Way cuz I missed a cycle bath it was in a right nightm but look at St be the white line I’ve got sunburn but I’ve got Lo suncream on I’ve just been saved by this Pet Station the last 10 miles just been like cycling like imagining food and I’ve got a tuna sandwich fruit pastels to get to the end a banana some chewing gum because when I get to the end I need that and a smoothie so I’m going to get this down keep on going I’m just going to enjoy the last bit fingers crossed I can make it there before 8:00 18 miles to go WooHoo for some reason I plan loads of hills in right at the Ed just to kill myself off think I’m some kind of sadist or something 10 miles too I can’t believe I’m actually going to do it oh my God like I just I didn’t think I was going to be able to do it and I’m going to I don’t know why I’m crying but I just feel like really happy oh like I never thought I was going to do it anywhere near the time and if I keep going I’m going too oh I feel so silly for crying but I just did this like I don’t know why I did this but I like to challenge myself and I never feel good enough in anything I do and I finally feel proud of myself at this cuz I was so scared like if like riding in the night on my own and things going wrong but it’s all been okay and so this is for anyone that doesn’t feel good enough like I didn’t need to do this like I’ve learned I didn’t actually need to do this to prove that I’m good enough because I am good enough and so is everyone but yeah I think you learn a lot doing this and oh I just can’t wait to finish now come on last little push it’s happy crying she was I don’t know why I planned a load of hilly Baggers in at the end I think I was blooming on high on CH Latte when I planned this route g w I did it 70 hours 54 minutes 600 80 something miles I’ll do know
