day seven cycling across the USA from Miami to La all to raise money for get kids going
a fantastic charity that look after disabled children today we are riding from Lake City to
Monticello or Monticello I apologize now for the mispronunciation of one of those it's the
day after our rest day Justin so we should be super strong exactly do you feel strong
yeah we're going through the birthplace of Ray Charles today are we yeah but it's not Monty Sello
[Music] on the road again day number seven and the first rest day of the trip is done you would
think a Resto would make us feel better but we feel exactly the same as we did before the rest
day we were on this road today for 73 miles at least that makes navigation nice and easy Justin
has some upgrades to his bike which I'll show you in a minute and in today's episode we're going to
cover a few recurring questions that you guys have been asking throughout the last few days today
we'll also officially be the most climbing in one ride that we've done right two miles down the road
furniture huh that worked kind of well here's a cool little thing tubeless plug this is a special
one which you can fit in on the other side oh just there if you've got a SRAM crank then you always
know where it is and it's easy and quick to find uh I need to put some air in this now oh there's
a spit all over that is that from your mouth well obviously it's from where else would the
spit be coming from that's really disgusting thank you Francis thanks for your help I did
offer you said he didn't need it you said just stay here and be calm so that's what I'm doing
staying here and being calm you look like you've had some practice without action
I am glad I'm running tubeless because you stood at the side of the road fixing it for a lot less
time usually that worked really well but I am now covered that my hands have got a ceiling
on my bike has got ceiling on my drive train has got sealant on Justin's got some sealant on him
there's a whole lot of sealant I brought some extra so I can top it up if I need to there's
no perfect solution I love cycling this question I needed to use the toilet and there wasn't any
toilet paper and the whole thing set out with water and I asked them if she had any toilet
paper and she said no and I said can I buy some toilet paper she said no we don't sell it I was
like you don't sell any she said no we stopped selling it because people kept on using good
I feel like there's a hole in this business plan is there no milk Justin what do you think about
this they probably stop selling it because people kept buying it what they did so was
that mad Vietnamese herbs that you were talking about yeah that don't give some guys came all the
way up from California oh yeah that's where we're going we're doing it all for charity
to raise some money for uh disabled children for equipment like this song God bless you guys though
thank you so much all right I have a barbecue stand I do my barbecue over
there or whatever but I don't do it on a Sunday I put my wheelchair on to the doctor
that's why he's so strong Mr Whaley BBQ Live Oak Florida the next town would be bad also
thank you so much yes sir you know I hope you guys good luck thank you one day we'll come
back for your barbecue I'm sure Willie won't mind me telling you this he is 76 years old
can you believe that what a guy super nice guy has a little barbecue that he
runs here every day it must be the barbecue keeping him young very glad we stopped there

girl for a while taking you
yeah don't run into me ow ow and violence against disabled people you've got a helmet
on yeah it makes it worse it spreads out the area I want lunch I found another paradise
we appear to have stopped in the nicest town in America this is like one of the towns you see
in the movies but like one of the movies where a clown terrorizes children we're cycling from
Miami Beach to Los Angeles to day seven at the moment that's awesome yeah so I'm telling my
wheelchair behind me on that bike there okay names Justin okay do you know Jesus I do
amen do you walk with him I don't walk into it unfortunately cheers guys sweet potato fries

amazing has happened we have just gone over 25 000 pounds of donations on the just giving get
kids going thank you so much to everybody who's donated we're gonna have to raise our Target
obviously there's been some big donations there's the stuff from the Reuben Foundation which is five
thousand which we haven't actually added yet nope and it's also r-u-b-i-n not r-u-b-e-n different
rooms different room and family from berghaus who have also very kindly supplied us with some kit
which we will be showing later on when the weather allows it also want to say a very special shout
out although we've had some amazing big donations the most incredible thing for us has been all of
the individual very small amounts that people have just been giving whatever they can whether
it be five dollars ten dollars one dollars twenty dollars from Willie twenty dollars it all adds up
it all adds up and it just means the world so thank you you really smell do I really yeah
actually smell probably
this is why we always choose to sit outside
oh and a special mention to the sweet potato fries look at that
[Music]
gotta say roads today have been absolutely spot on we've had a Tailwind don't want to
curse it probably just cursed it it's a Sunday there's been barely any cars
surface has been super smooth we've just been really really fast and efficient
and we've managed to stop and enjoy ourselves as well so what's not to love
[Music]
foreign
side of the road because we're too lazy to cross the road which is actually quite
annoying when you've got a handbag but it means every single time we're in the Sun and
we're not able to see the Ray Charles Memorial we can see it um it's just there it's literally just
there I can't be bothered to go over there because it's on the wrong side of the road so we're gonna
we can just look at it on Google Images if I can put an image in here that's a cool dog so we are
in a town called Greenville which is uh where Ray Charles famous musician amazing pianist
grew up you know that thing there is a giant Maraca because he was famous for playing maracas
hey the hill blocks The View Justin can you see I can't oh I should save the country
hey this is a one-star Motel I know man this is like the Ritz compared to Palatka
well nice no blood on the walls the windows are clean painting of something it's a beach it's
a beach that's a beach yeah I remember beaches from two months ago when we were riding in Miami
come here Justin I've been trying to answer this question for a few days now it's time to answer it
why do you pedal like this and not like this very simply if I did that I wouldn't be able to steer
you pedal in unison so that you can stand on bike that's literally it huh sorry it's not a
more interesting answer that's the only reason if you're doing that you'd be you'd have to have it
I feel like you would be stretching too far as well I don't know I'm not
a biomechanicsist or a hand size I could be you could you could be for the next day
tomorrow yeah do you want to yeah you ride my bike stay tuned for that tomorrow guys
