BBC Radio 1 DJ Greg James is preparing to cycle 630 miles across the UK-on a tandem - to raise money for Red Nose Day.
-
The eight-day challenge will see James set off from the South Coast on March 13 and ride through England and Wales before crossing the finish line in Edinburgh on Red Nose Day, March 20.
He will spend at least eight hours a day riding the tandem, largely on his own.
