00:05Le long des avenues
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.
