0:00:04 > 0:00:08- Hello?- Hello, is that my favourite comedy actress, Miranda Hart?

0:00:08 > 0:00:13Yes! Is that my favourite comedy actor, David Walliams?

0:00:13 > 0:00:19Basically, we're wanting to cycle from John O'Groats to Lands End.

0:00:19 > 0:00:22- A team of people led by me. - There's going to be seven of us.

0:00:22 > 0:00:26So David Walliams, myself, Paddy Kielty here, Jimmy Carr,

0:00:26 > 0:00:31Miranda Hart, Russell Howard and Davina McCall. What a motley crew!

0:00:31 > 0:00:35I just want David to know that, even if I'm dying,

0:00:35 > 0:00:37I will give it everything I have!

0:00:39 > 0:00:44- I think it's over 1,000 miles. - 1,000 miles on a bike... Brilliant.

0:00:44 > 0:00:48So are you available in March?

0:00:48 > 0:00:52Oh, what am I letting myself...? The annoying thing is, I am.

0:00:52 > 0:00:57It's better than your other idea of swimming up Kilimanjaro. I'm in.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03# Well we know where we're going

0:01:03 > 0:01:07# But we don't know where we've been... #

0:01:09 > 0:01:11This is no ordinary bike ride.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14David Walliams has persuaded six fellow celebrities

0:01:14 > 0:01:18to cycle 1,000 miles in just four days.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20# We're on a road to nowhere... #

0:01:20 > 0:01:22It's a massive challenge.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26David's hoping the British public will get behind them and help

0:01:26 > 0:01:29raise at least £1 million for Sport Relief.

0:01:29 > 0:01:33For the last three months, Olympian Greg White has been overseeing

0:01:33 > 0:01:36the team's intensive training regime.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38This is a really tough challenge.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42We've got unfit celebrities, who've never ridden a racing bike before,

0:01:42 > 0:01:44who are going to embark on a 1,000 mile trip

0:01:44 > 0:01:48across the roughest terrain in the UK, in the middle of March

0:01:48 > 0:01:51where we could be down to -5, -10 C,

0:01:51 > 0:01:54with a wind chill that could be down to -15, in the snow.

0:01:57 > 0:01:58It's so relaxing, this music.

0:01:58 > 0:02:03Last minute thoughts? I want to go home, and this is a really bad idea.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05- I'm really nervous.- Really nervous.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09- We just want to get going now, really.- I'm covered in bruises.

0:02:09 > 0:02:13I'm just nervous about being able to stay on the bike.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17Ready? Three, two, one... go!

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Bye!

0:02:22 > 0:02:23Thank you.

0:02:23 > 0:02:28The challenge will require stamina, speed and motivation.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32David's team has little in the way of qualifications.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Stand-up comedian, Russell Howard.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38The furthest I've ever cycled before this is probably

0:02:38 > 0:02:41four miles on my paper round when I was a kid, and I hated it.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44TV presenter, Patrick Kielty.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Ah... Oh!- Very nice indeed.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Radio One DJ, Fearne Cotton.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52- I'm really nervous.- OK.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56Once again I've underestimated a Sport Relief challenge.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58TV presenter, Davina McCall.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Am I the oldest?- Yeah.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Come on! You youngies!

0:03:03 > 0:03:06And comedienne, Miranda Hart.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Bit careful at the moment.

0:03:08 > 0:03:09Like that!

0:03:11 > 0:03:15I can't believe I've done that! Did you know that was going to happen?

0:03:15 > 0:03:17Oh, and Jimmy Carr.

0:03:17 > 0:03:22Jimmy's on a national tour and can only join the ride for one day.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25They may not seem like the fittest bunch,

0:03:25 > 0:03:29but if they pull together they might have a chance.

0:03:29 > 0:03:30This is more like it.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32I like these bits.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Hello, my darlings!

0:03:38 > 0:03:39It's got to be done.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45For the first 12 miles, they cycle as a group.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49But after that, they will do a non-stop relay at a sprint pace

0:03:49 > 0:03:51to keep to David's ambitious target

0:03:51 > 0:03:55of reaching Lands End within just four days.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57We're cycling home.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01It's an amazing way to see the country.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05They clearly have no idea what lies ahead.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Are we still in Scotland?

0:04:07 > 0:04:12For the next four days and three nights, their home will be a bus.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14This is it.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17That's all the room we've got!

0:04:17 > 0:04:21It is slightly smaller than we'd anticipated.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25A lot smaller. Miranda doesn't fit anywhere on this whole bus!

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Each rider will have a cycling pacemaker. With their help,

0:04:31 > 0:04:36David wants the team to maintain an average speed of 13mph,

0:04:36 > 0:04:39so they can complete the distance in the four days.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45It's a big ask, and getting tougher by the second.

0:04:51 > 0:04:55Is this a snow storm or am I slightly over-milking it?

0:04:55 > 0:04:58- This is a snow storm! - OK, we're in a snow storm.

0:04:58 > 0:05:04Just as everyone else gets to get off their bikes, snow hits us.

0:05:04 > 0:05:05So...

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Lovely and cooling though,

0:05:08 > 0:05:12on your face.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Back on the bus, reality sets in.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18I was a bit freaked out by that

0:05:18 > 0:05:24because we were only cycling for an hour. And...and it was flat.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27And I actually found that quite hard. I did, yeah.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30Very cold. The side wind was really tricky.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32David's got another hour of that.

0:05:32 > 0:05:36It'll be interesting to see what shape he's in after that.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39And this is the easiest thing we're going to do today.

0:05:39 > 0:05:43It just makes you think, what's up the road? That's worrying me now.

0:05:43 > 0:05:49I fell off at the start when I was standing. Don't laugh, please.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Don't laugh at me. Um... It was slightly embarrassing.

0:05:53 > 0:05:57Because it was embarrassing and a lovely crowd had gathered,

0:05:57 > 0:06:01I felt like I couldn't go, "Actually that really hurts!"

0:06:01 > 0:06:03So, yeah, quite disgusting...

0:06:13 > 0:06:16I'm so glad that they have Sport Relief now, in March,

0:06:16 > 0:06:19and not the summer(!)

0:06:19 > 0:06:22This is not much fun.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25David and his team are putting themselves through this

0:06:25 > 0:06:28for one reason - to raise money for Sport Relief.

0:06:28 > 0:06:32- Hi, David!- Hello. Are we on air now?

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Yeah, how long?

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Two weeks earlier, David and Fearne were busy drumming up support.

0:06:37 > 0:06:42- Look who it is - Mr David Walliams! - Hello!

0:06:42 > 0:06:45David, we're going to talk to someone on the phone,

0:06:45 > 0:06:49- who is exceedingly rich and wants to help.- On line one.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51It's Peter Jones from Dragon's Den!

0:06:51 > 0:06:54Peter, how are you going to help us?

0:06:54 > 0:06:58'There's lots of businesses that should be behind you.

0:06:58 > 0:07:02'You're travelling the length and breadth of the country,

0:07:02 > 0:07:05'there's got to be a lot of people that will support us.

0:07:05 > 0:07:10I'm very happy that you want to help and get us loads of money.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14'Let's surpass your challenge of £1 million. Wouldn't that be great?'

0:07:14 > 0:07:19- I think so.- You could do it right now, Peter - write a cheque!

0:07:19 > 0:07:24Dragon Peter Jones will spend the four days of the ride raising money,

0:07:24 > 0:07:29whilst Fearne and the others try and keep up the pace.

0:07:29 > 0:07:35The pacemaker with Fearne is pentathlete Richard Ball.

0:07:35 > 0:07:40Fearne's finding the demanding schedule extremely difficult.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43Another hill on the way, look.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48So we're 23 miles into the whole challenge,

0:07:48 > 0:07:52is that what you're saying? Yeah? That sounds puny.

0:07:52 > 0:07:57Only 23 miles in, only about a thousand to go!

0:07:57 > 0:08:00With just four hours of the ride completed,

0:08:00 > 0:08:03the money's already started to come in.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07When I spoke to Sara Cox on Radio 1,

0:08:07 > 0:08:12they'd raised £40,000 since nine o'clock this morning.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14- That's amazing. - Which is really good.

0:08:14 > 0:08:20Listen, not raising the rest of the money isn't an option.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Yeah. We just will.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26The team will ride in strict rotation,

0:08:26 > 0:08:31each doing around 26 miles in as close to two hours as possible.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35Because she's having the big hills, our average speed has dropped

0:08:35 > 0:08:39and she's gone over 2½ hours for what should have been 2.

0:08:39 > 0:08:44- We've somewhere got to pick up half an hour.- We're uphill all the way.

0:08:44 > 0:08:48We are up a lot of hill, mate. So we've got some work to do.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51It's Patrick's first outing. He's heading inland

0:08:51 > 0:08:55and will be the first to tackle the treacherous Highlands.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57- How you doing, you all right?- Yeah.

0:08:57 > 0:09:03Fearne knows she needs to rest before her next ride at 11pm.

0:09:03 > 0:09:09The team have chosen lightweight racing bikes for speed,

0:09:09 > 0:09:12which simply aren't suited to icy conditions.

0:09:21 > 0:09:26At least it was in the snow, that was good. On an isolated road.

0:09:26 > 0:09:31And thankfully there's no camera on my bike to record it(!)

0:09:31 > 0:09:36After eight hours in the coach, Russell takes up the baton

0:09:36 > 0:09:38for the evening shift.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41The team will cycle through the night.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44CROWD SHOUTS ENCOURAGEMENT

0:09:44 > 0:09:48Even friendly, it sounds terrifying in the Scottish accent! "GO ON!"

0:09:48 > 0:09:51"Argh! All right, I'm trying! Don't hit me!"

0:09:51 > 0:09:54He may not have been on a bike since he was a boy,

0:09:54 > 0:09:57but unlike some of his team-mates, at least he's pretty fit.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59- Nice to get out?- Definitely.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03I've been going to the gym, running, playing football,

0:10:03 > 0:10:09and trying to eat less chips and biscuits. That is about it, really.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13The whole team was given rigorous fitness tests before they left.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17But some of the riders have trained harder than others.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21I'm now really confident in all the team, bar Jimmy Carr,

0:10:21 > 0:10:25who I believe, to this point has done no training.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28I think David's a horse.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Davina is super-fit. You know...

0:10:31 > 0:10:35Army-type fitness person. She's going to be absolutely fine.

0:10:35 > 0:10:39Fearne, I know, is really determined.

0:10:39 > 0:10:44Paddy's mega-strong, like big-thighs strong.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Russell looks fit.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Jimmy - rubbish.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50That's basically it.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53I think training is basically cheating.

0:10:56 > 0:11:01Jimmy Carr is on tour and is only able to join the team for one day.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03But he's never far from their thoughts.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06We trained a lot, didn't we, for two months?

0:11:06 > 0:11:11That was really hard. Jimmy's just swanning in off the stage.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14Miranda is dreading her night ride.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19We've got 2,000 ft to climb on your little section.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22On your BIG section. That's a long climb.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25I think she's doing really well.

0:11:25 > 0:11:29If she opted to do an extra hour, she must be just coasting along.

0:11:29 > 0:11:34- I want to cry.- Yeah, that's good. That means you're right on the edge.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Beautiful. That's what we like.

0:11:36 > 0:11:4115 minutes from her handover to David, Miranda is forced to walk.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45Ohh! It just hits me, a faintness.

0:11:45 > 0:11:49- All of a sudden it sort of comes over you?- Yes.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Miranda defied expectations

0:11:51 > 0:11:55and kept going in the icy winds for an hour and 45 minutes.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57You OK, Miranda?

0:11:57 > 0:11:59No, not really.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02It's brutal out there.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05So just keep an eye on fingers and toes, yeah?

0:12:05 > 0:12:09As David climbs, the temperature drops even further.

0:12:10 > 0:12:14Miranda is just not having the best experience,

0:12:14 > 0:12:21because she did two major mountains, which was really amazing.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24But, you know, she's not been well and she has asthma.

0:12:24 > 0:12:25She was really suffering.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30On the bus, sleep is proving almost impossible.

0:12:30 > 0:12:35But at least it's warm. As David prepares to hand over to Patrick...

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Which bus is ours?

0:12:37 > 0:12:40..the severity of the winter night is clear.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43His hands have completely seized up.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45Ohh, my fingers!

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Follow the car?

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Ahh!

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Ahh!

0:12:56 > 0:12:58Ohh... Ahh...

0:12:59 > 0:13:03As Patrick presses on into the heart of the Highlands,

0:13:03 > 0:13:06the temperature plummets to minus 15.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09It's harder than he ever imagined.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14Get in, get some of that kit off straight away.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19I feel like crying.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21I actually feel like crying.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25- Drained?- Yeah. I feel just so empty.

0:13:25 > 0:13:293am, and even pacemaker Richard is forced to pull up

0:13:29 > 0:13:32in serious risk of hypothermia.

0:13:32 > 0:13:36Despite the crippling cold, Davina insists she'll cycle on alone.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38I really am on my own now.

0:13:38 > 0:13:45# One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

0:13:46 > 0:13:50# Two can be as bad as one

0:13:50 > 0:13:53# It's the loneliest number since the number one... #

0:13:53 > 0:13:57It's 340 miles into the ride and Fearne's keen to find out

0:13:57 > 0:13:59how much they've raised.

0:13:59 > 0:14:03Radio 1 listeners alone, since yesterday on the text,

0:14:03 > 0:14:05- have done 97,000.- 97?- In a day.

0:14:05 > 0:14:09And the actual total is round about 270,000.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12So we're over a quarter of a million. In a day!

0:14:12 > 0:14:15That is just extraordinary.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17Thank you!

0:14:20 > 0:14:24Gathering crowds are a welcome support.

0:14:32 > 0:14:33Hey, hey, hey!

0:14:33 > 0:14:40- How old are you guys?- Six.- Six years old? Have you got any idea who I am?

0:14:40 > 0:14:44- No.- Oh thank you, this is beautiful.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48Is that for good luck? Is it?

0:14:58 > 0:15:01England! Homeward bound.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04After 36 hours of non-stop cycling,

0:15:04 > 0:15:08the team has finally conquered Scotland. But there's no let-up.

0:15:08 > 0:15:12They now face probably the toughest terrain in England -

0:15:12 > 0:15:15the Lake District.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18Kirkstone Pass is 1,500ft high

0:15:18 > 0:15:22and one of the steepest and longest climbs in the UK.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24You the man!

0:15:25 > 0:15:31That is great work - really, really strong. Very impressive.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34Keep driving down that pedal.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36Great focus, great zone.

0:15:36 > 0:15:37DAVID GROANS

0:15:40 > 0:15:43Keep up a little bit. Don't worry, don't worry.

0:15:43 > 0:15:47It's not about how quick you go. Keep pushing, keep pushing.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53OK. I'm OK.

0:15:53 > 0:15:57- You OK?- This is just another terrible night, isn't it?

0:15:59 > 0:16:03I always think, if you're doing something for charity,

0:16:03 > 0:16:06it's good if there's a bit of suffering involved.

0:16:06 > 0:16:10I think you become a little bit closer to the people you're helping.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13I can't compare what we've done.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15We've had to work really hard,

0:16:15 > 0:16:18but that's not comparable to living on the streets in Delhi.

0:16:24 > 0:16:30In Delhi, as many as 100,000 children live on the streets.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33Sport Relief helps to fund Butterflies,

0:16:33 > 0:16:36who run street schools all over Delhi.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40David met Rita Panika.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44How many pupils do you have at your school?

0:16:44 > 0:16:48On average there would be anywhere between 25 and 30.

0:16:48 > 0:16:54Hello, how are you? Did you do this today? Oh, my word. That's very good.

0:16:54 > 0:16:59It's amazing still how the children have a positive outlook.

0:16:59 > 0:17:03It's amazing. I can't imagine that children living here

0:17:03 > 0:17:07could think of the future, can say, "I want to get out of this,

0:17:07 > 0:17:11" want to be a teacher, I want to be a policeman."

0:17:11 > 0:17:15Another scheme run by the project is a children's bank.

0:17:15 > 0:17:19Afsar keeps the money he earns safe in his account.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21What has Afsar done with his money?

0:17:21 > 0:17:26- He's bought a bicycle, which he rents out.- Can I rent your bicycle?

0:17:26 > 0:17:31For one hour, he takes 14 rupees.

0:17:31 > 0:17:3314 rupees.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36I'm very well known in Britain.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39I'm on television. Would he do a discount?

0:17:41 > 0:17:43- 10 rupees.- 10 rupees! Result!

0:17:53 > 0:17:58'The more money we can raise, the more we can help kids like Afsar.'

0:17:58 > 0:18:00RINGS BICYCLE BELL

0:18:00 > 0:18:03He's a lot tougher than I was at 12 years old.

0:18:05 > 0:18:09I'm going to think about him on those gruelling hills.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12FANFARE

0:18:12 > 0:18:17At last, the moment the team has been waiting for.

0:18:17 > 0:18:18What?

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Jimmy Carr is about to be unleashed.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23I'm not in a hurry to get on the bike!

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Thanks for coming out!

0:18:25 > 0:18:30While the ride continues at pace through Lancashire, David goes ahead

0:18:30 > 0:18:32to pick up Jimmy from his hotel.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34- How are you?- I'm all right.

0:18:34 > 0:18:38- You've got all your gear on! You're ready to go.- I'll be fine!

0:18:38 > 0:18:42Swimming the Channel is fine, you do it on your own.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44Why did you have to get us involved?

0:18:44 > 0:18:51Jimmy hasn't trained and has almost no experience riding a racing bike,

0:18:51 > 0:18:54so David shows him the ropes.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57- Hello!- It's Jimmy Carr! From TV!

0:18:58 > 0:19:01Thanks for coming out. Cheers!

0:19:02 > 0:19:08- This guy's a big fan of yours.- Is he? - Yeah.- Hi! It's really me, hi!

0:19:08 > 0:19:11Straight over, boys. Straight over.

0:19:11 > 0:19:15This is hard. I've done eight miles so far,

0:19:15 > 0:19:21which is officially the furthest I've ever cycled in my life!

0:19:21 > 0:19:23# Hey, Jimmy, you're so fine You're so fine, you blow my mind

0:19:23 > 0:19:25# Hey, Jimmy! Hey, Jimmy! #

0:19:25 > 0:19:29Day three. 650 miles into the challenge.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31Dragon Peter Jones has dropped in

0:19:31 > 0:19:34to give news of how much he's helped them to raise.

0:19:34 > 0:19:39This is amazing. It's going to shock you. You have reached,

0:19:39 > 0:19:44- at one o'clock today, £627,000. - Very, very good. That's fantastic.

0:19:45 > 0:19:49Spurred on by the money they've raised so far, there's a real chance

0:19:49 > 0:19:53that lost time can be won back over the Cheshire plains.

0:19:58 > 0:19:59OK, guys?

0:19:59 > 0:20:01Next to take the baton,

0:20:01 > 0:20:05Patrick Kielty, the team's strongest performer so far.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07- How are you feeling?- All right.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09Paddy flies, absolutely flies.

0:20:09 > 0:20:13Every session I've been out with him, he's just been flying.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15That makes a big difference.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19We're catching up maybe 20 minutes every time he goes out.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22- 18 miles in an hour. Is that the fastest so far?- Yeah.

0:20:22 > 0:20:27D'you know what, the horrible thing is,

0:20:27 > 0:20:30I'm absolutely going to cane that now.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33Am I in the lowest gear? It's killing me.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37I'm going to walk a bit.

0:20:41 > 0:20:45This is where training would have paid off.

0:20:45 > 0:20:49Jimmy's in no danger of breaking Patrick's speed record.

0:20:49 > 0:20:54But he keeps going and completes his share of the ride.

0:20:54 > 0:20:57He's been on the bike for a long time.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00There's a bit of a difference

0:21:00 > 0:21:05between being on the bike for a while and having done a lot!

0:21:05 > 0:21:09# Jimmy mack When are you coming back? Jimmy? #

0:21:09 > 0:21:13Jimmy is by far the slowest member of the team.

0:21:13 > 0:21:17Greg is concerned that they're falling behind schedule.

0:21:17 > 0:21:22It would be advantageous for the average speed

0:21:22 > 0:21:27to exchange Jimmy for a cyclist as soon as possible.

0:21:27 > 0:21:28D'you know what this is?

0:21:28 > 0:21:31- It's a privilege. - I'm glad you see it as that.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34CHEERING

0:21:35 > 0:21:39Russell Howard steps in, and not a moment too soon.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42I think we're behind time a little bit overall,

0:21:42 > 0:21:46but that's the price you pay when you get me to help.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49As the riders start their final night ride,

0:21:49 > 0:21:53they know they'll have to push up their average speed

0:21:53 > 0:21:56to make up the lost time.

0:21:56 > 0:22:00They'll pass through five counties, with a whistle-stop visit to Wales.

0:22:00 > 0:22:04Wales! This is great. And we're back in...

0:22:04 > 0:22:05England!

0:22:09 > 0:22:12First light in Devon marks the final day.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15870 miles cycled and 130 still to go.

0:22:15 > 0:22:20The end may be in sight, but Miranda has a plan.

0:22:21 > 0:22:26We're at Tiverton Parkway and I'm going to get a ticket to Lands End.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28But Greg's not one for shortcuts.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31Come on! Drive it down! Drive it down, Miranda.

0:22:31 > 0:22:35Not far to go, not far to go. You're almost at the top.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38You've got about 30 metres to go.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41Greg has motivated Miranda throughout the ride.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45Of all members of the team, she knows how important support can be.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51That's a big climb, let me tell you.

0:22:51 > 0:22:56You'd never, ever have got up that before. You keep surprising me.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59'The Sport Relief £1 million Bike Ride.'

0:22:59 > 0:23:03- CHRIS MOYLES: 'Good morning, Davina McCall. - Morning!

0:23:03 > 0:23:07'Davina, we needed a big push this morning. We wanted to try and hit

0:23:07 > 0:23:11- 'quarter of a million from Radio 1's side of things.- Yes?

0:23:11 > 0:23:14'So it went from 213,000, with a big push,

0:23:14 > 0:23:18'Radio 1 has now raised for you...

0:23:18 > 0:23:21'£290,000!

0:23:21 > 0:23:25'Which means, Davina McCall, that your overall total

0:23:25 > 0:23:28'for the bike ride is...

0:23:28 > 0:23:31'£803,000.'

0:23:31 > 0:23:33£803,000!

0:23:37 > 0:23:42At last, the home straight. To meet their target time,

0:23:42 > 0:23:47the team will have to go faster than they've ever gone before.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51Give us a lift.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56Today, they'll have to climb almost 22,000 feet.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59That's more than on any other day of the ride so far.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02There are some pretty steep descents too.

0:24:02 > 0:24:07I had Richard next to me on the bicycle,

0:24:07 > 0:24:11and he was going, "Don't put your brakes on!"

0:24:11 > 0:24:14Ready? Let go! Let go! Go! Go! Go!

0:24:14 > 0:24:16I went down this hill

0:24:16 > 0:24:21and I swear we must have been going about 35 miles an hour.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23In the end, I just had to scream.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25SHE SCREAMS

0:24:25 > 0:24:28It was like being a kid.

0:24:28 > 0:24:32There was an old man - this was one of the coolest moments -

0:24:32 > 0:24:37who had a flat cap. He just lifted it off and went, "We're very proud."

0:24:37 > 0:24:39That just felt like a really cool moment.

0:24:39 > 0:24:43There's something quite dignified about an old man going,

0:24:43 > 0:24:48"I will get out of my house and tip my cap at a young man doing his bit."

0:24:48 > 0:24:51Throughout the 1,000 mile journey,

0:24:51 > 0:24:55Patrick has consistently kept the highest average speed.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58And today is no exception.

0:24:58 > 0:25:0045 miles an hour downhill.

0:25:00 > 0:25:04He now holds the course record.

0:25:04 > 0:25:10As well as going one hour 17 for 23 miles. This is where it counts,

0:25:10 > 0:25:13so this boy is putting it in. Incredible.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16Thank you!

0:25:16 > 0:25:20I'm really thrilled that we've managed to raise so much money,

0:25:20 > 0:25:22because that's what it's all about.

0:25:22 > 0:25:28We'd not be doing this if it wasn't going to raise money and help people.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31So, yes, I'm really, really chuffed.

0:25:31 > 0:25:36# Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air

0:25:36 > 0:25:39# I know I can count on you

0:25:39 > 0:25:41# Sometimes I feel like saying... #

0:25:41 > 0:25:43They started together,

0:25:43 > 0:25:47and they'll complete the last eight miles as a team.

0:25:49 > 0:25:54This is quite moving, seeing all the yellow jackets in front of us,

0:25:54 > 0:25:57the whole team coming in together.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02Thank you! Thank you!

0:26:02 > 0:26:04Thank you, farmers!

0:26:05 > 0:26:09This is just fun now. All fun. The sunset is amazing,

0:26:09 > 0:26:11it's just a perfect evening.

0:26:13 > 0:26:19Between them, they've ridden the length of Britain non-stop.

0:26:19 > 0:26:23They've burned over 120,000 calories...

0:26:23 > 0:26:28and climbed the equivalent of Mount Everest twice over.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31All with hardly any sleep.

0:26:31 > 0:26:32Who's going to win this race?

0:26:32 > 0:26:36And they've captured the hearts of the nation.

0:26:36 > 0:26:41# You've got the love... #

0:26:45 > 0:26:50I'm not crying, I don't know what you're talking about! Dawn!

0:26:50 > 0:26:53It's a remarkable achievement.

0:26:53 > 0:26:57What they don't know is whether they've hit their ambitious £1 million target.

0:26:57 > 0:27:01David whatever your name is, Peter and I have been asked

0:27:01 > 0:27:05to give you this piece of paper which contains the total.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08You got to that total half an hour ago.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11- Oh my word!- Go on, tell us!

0:27:11 > 0:27:14The total is £517!

0:27:14 > 0:27:19No, it's £1,006,509.
