Track Greg James’ Comic Relief ride towards County Durham
It started in Weymouth on Friday, March 13, and will see the DJ travel all the way to Edinburgh in a 1,000km journey.
He will be passing through County Durham on Wednesday, March 18, if all goes to plan.
Track where Greg James is on his journey here:
Speaking ahead of the challenge, he said: “Yes, I am mad, and I do think it will be a ludicrous challenge, and one that I don’t know whether or not I can do.
“But I’m going to try it.
“A little bit of pain is worth the overall goal of raising loads of money for Comic Relief.”
This is Mr James’ third challenge for Comic Relief, despite previously vowing not to take on another.
He completed five triathlons in five days in 2016, and in 2018, cycled between and climbed the UK’s three highest peaks: Scafell Pike, Snowdon, and Ben Nevis.
Throughout the journey, Mr James will be joined by special guests, listeners, and fellow presenters.
He said: “I need them to be good cyclists.
“The reality of it might be that they wobble and we both fall off.”
