1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: And we're going to look like Santa. And we've finished

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: as very few of us got razor blades. Everything, everything

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: that's on the bike we've got to carry. So wait,

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: it's not your friend. So we we were going through

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: the gear on Saturday seeing what everybody had got. Yeah,

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: the guy that had got the least had got just

7
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: two lots of cycling gear, so and some some thermals.

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 2: So we put him at the back of the pelton.

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: He get in at night and jump in the shower,

10
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: wash the clothes that he got on, put tomorrow's clothes

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: on and dry those overnight.

12
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 3: Maybe that's not worried that the guys in.

13
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: So we've had to be really organized, haven't we in

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: planning because we need power every night to charge our batteries.

15
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 2: Of course, so too old for.

16
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: So we know exactly where we're going to be every

17
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: night of the trip, and hopefully there's a pub close

18
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: by so that we can feed.

19
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 2: So how long do you expect the ride to take?

20
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty six, twenty six, twenty seven days?

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: Sit up on, sit off on the tenth February, and

22
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: I think we're eighth. The march is eighth March is

23
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 3: the final if we stick to a stick to a plane.

24
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: Eighth to March is the final day and bluffers as target.

25
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, right, a bit of fun rivalry forming between

26
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: the two.

27
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 3: Groups starting to yeah yeah, but.

28
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: A ribbing bit of benter.

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: Well they muscle bikers. They're proposing to do about one

30
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,520

31
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: to they're going to take us. We'll pass each other

32
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: halfway halfway up the North Island, no doubt, you know.

33
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 3: So they are, well I think they're looking at twenty

34
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 3: three days, so yeah.

35
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: Wow, gunning it. Yeah, yeah, what what do you call

36
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: the muscle riders? It's because they look like he man

37
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: after all their training.

38
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: They said, they said the team names, and they thought

39
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:05,520

Speaker 3: Live team on e bikes and the muscle team that. Yeah,

42
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 3: we're striking the ego.

43
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: Tuesday, you set off and I understand, duncan. We're we're

44
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,240

45
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: GPS trackers on.

46
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'll see where where we are with met progress.

47
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 2: Is as we live in met Progress. Is that the

48
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,000

Speaker 2: behind the rest of them.

56
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,720
