As announced on Vernon Kay’s Radio 2 show this morning (Monday) Paddy will start his Ultra Endurance Cycle Challenge during the Breakfast Show on Monday, November 11 and will pedal almost 300 miles, starting in Wrexham.

The epic route will take him through eight counties – Flintshire, Cheshire, Merseyside, Lancashire, onto Westmorland, Cumberland, Dumfriesshire and Lanarkshire, and he is aiming to finish on the morning of Friday, November 15 in Glasgow. But Paddy won’t be taking on this challenge on just any bicycle..

. he will attempt to complete the route on an iconic, BBC Children in Need customised and modified, Raleigh Chopper bike. He’ll be passing through and stopping off at villages and towns along the way to meet as many Radio 2 listeners as possible as they cheer him on and help him to raise much needed funds that will help make life lighter for children across the UK.

The need has.
