00:00It's a long time in the planning, how are you feeling?

00:03Nervous as hell. Excited and very nervous.

00:06We're gonna crack this aren't we? So this is the beginning of Zoe's charity ride for...

00:12Scottish Women's Aid.

00:13So, right, we're gonna say torah and catch you on the road in a bit, yeah?

00:17Wish me luck!

00:18Great stuff. Right, right.

00:21See you up the road, Zoe. Good luck, babe.

00:25See you later.

00:29And here she comes. Great stuff. You feeling alright?

00:34Yeah? Keep going, just steady away, keep going. I'll catch you up the road.

00:44Alright, we've stopped 21.7 miles for five minutes, Carstairs Junction.

00:50South of Carstairs Junction.

00:54Doing well, pedaling well, getting there. Nice one.

00:58We'll be riding through in five minutes, ten minutes max.

01:03Fantastic. Brilliant. Brilliant.

01:08Brilliant. Brilliant.

01:38Look!

01:39There she goes into Scottish Border Territory.

01:43Do you want a hop- do you want a hop- do you want a hop- do you want a hop- ride or something?

01:56Um, no, I'm fine.

01:57You sure? Yeah.

03:33Tibby Shields Inn is 14 miles from here

03:38You've done nearly 46

03:40So that's going to be 60

03:43Could possibly do another 10

03:45See how you feel when we get there

03:47And then we could go back to Tibby Shields

03:50Park van and car up

03:53And then that's 70

03:56How are you feeling?

03:57It's just the wind

03:58It's horrible isn't it?

04:00I don't mind the rest of it

04:01I don't mind achy legs or anything

04:03Or numb feet or whatever

04:04I just don't like the wind

04:05Just knock down a gear

04:06Pedal easier

04:07And then with the roads bumpy on that bit
