about it
foreign
into Miami and we're cycling to La we're going through New Orleans Dallas all through the Deep
South Phoenix Las Vegas Death Valley then La it's over 3000 miles but 3000 Miles sounds
catchy and it's all in Aid of an extremely good cause get kids going exclamation mark what you
really insisted on the exclamation mark that's what the name of the challenges get kids going
it's a charity that helps disable children and young adults by providing specialist equipment
sport grants and year-round support so that everyone can have equal access to sport did
you rehearse that no well they've been helping me for a number of years because the cost of
disability equipment like hand bikes racing chairs wheelchairs is incredibly prohibitive for people
trying to get access into being Physically Active with get kids going the support that
they've given me has been immeasurable into how I've been able to compute and just be happy in my
life this is why we're trying to do it for them this is quite a unique challenge we're riding
unsupported which means hand bike with wheelchair strapped to the back and then a million bags on my
bike Justin have you um how are you fixing your wheelchair on the back basically just like this
have you ridden with it yet once in Regents Park for about 10K it
didn't fall off so that's the important thing this doesn't fill me with confidence Justin
it is what it is more on these bikes in the next few days but in the meantime we have to go and
find some people in Miami to give a giant blue box to cso thought there was a vampire in it yesterday
all right Rick we've got a sick one we've got a massive [ __ ] off Chevrolet rotate yes
amazing thank you so much the links we go to protect my bike
it's not like the cardboard box that you were able to take
thank you very much good to meet you Andy nice to meet you nice to meet you buddy thank you
so much is it always a drug dealer like this when you haven't traveled this one's delicious
because it doesn't have too much uh it's just a whisper smoke right and then then you're hit
with like caramel sea salt right cherries sauteed and balsamic vinegar right that's
what I get from this a little a little taste yeah this is where the whole trip just starts
going wrong potentially I like to try it without first right and then uh cheers buddy thanks for
looking after the Box before we leave quick shout out to your YouTube Cuisine Quest on YouTube

I feel like everything is off to a worryingly good start everybody here is extremely friendly
extremely nice extremely accommodating and none of our stuff is broken and it's the first day and the
pizza was really good Miami is so chill police just driving past smoking cigars out the window
in case I want to look at anyone's belly button before they come in the next portion of this video
is dedicated to kamu the Fantastic app that we use to plan this trip which we would have been
using anyway but they are officially sponsoring and making this trip possible by giving us some
money to spend on motels and pizza a lot of pizza if you've never used kamuk before it's absolutely
brilliant for planning trips like this you can go day by day with a start location a finished
location and it will plot your route for you based on maps and data that loads of users who
are also riding bikes have contributed to on top of this if you're doing a multi-day ride
you can stitch them all together into something called a collection which is what we've done the
best thing I liked about this is to be honest Francis planning anything with you is a little
bit of a nightmare but this made it pretty easy we could choose any of the road surfaces I could
avoid all of the gravel which my bike can't go over it's on that app it's on the website it's
incredibly intuitive and has a really simple user interface it actually was quite fun to plan I'm
not gonna lie despite Justin claiming that he did all the planning himself I've actually been going
through these routes with a fine toothed comb to check the temperature and the temperature
alone whereas I actually looked at the road surface uh no we've been looking at the roads
and the main roads and Street viewing stuff this is literally one of my favorite features
so when you're on the desktop version of the app if we choose day two you can see there's
a map further down and if you expand it Go full screen and zoom in on the route you can then click
open Street View and you can literally look at the route to see if it's a road that's safe to
ride that you want to ride and you can actually see what it looks like and you have the elevation
profiles and Florida is like a pancake it's beautiful and look at that not a single bit
of gravel anywhere dreamy excuse me do you want to stop making ticking noises behind my video
sorry as well as being a fantastic way to plan routes commute is also basically a social media
Network so you follow your friends I follow Justin he's been updating the route and I can
see it happen in real time further to that it means we can be posting our rides every single
day underneath these YouTube videos because I'm going to try and upload every single day with a
commute link and you can see exactly where we went you can copy the ride if you want to make
your own version of it and see exactly where we've been we're going to drop some highlights along the
way so you can see if there's anything interesting so keep an eye on that description down below and
you'll be able to follow exactly what we're doing through the next 55 days 55 days plus
rest days we're going to be here for a long long long time Justin are we still going to be friends
at the end I reckon we've got at least six weeks before we start to hate each other right sunset
here in Miami we need to get some sleep link down below to the just giving page for get kids
going exclamation mark Justin final word from you follow our journey that's three words oh for sure
