2010 Sport Relief £1million Bike Ride

On Monday March 1st 2010 (9am GMT), David Walliams and his team mates Jimmy Carr, Fearne Cotton, Miranda Hart, Patrick Kielty, Davina McCall and Russell Howard began a non-stop cycle relay to complete the 1,000-mile BT Sport Relief Million Pound Bike Ride to pedal the length of Britain from John O'Groats to Land's End.

They had to battle the elements as they pedaled day and night with the aim of completing the journey in around 80 hours. Each competitor took it in turns in the saddle during the four-day trip, while the others continued the journey on a tour bus. When they were 7-miles from the finish line, all of the team joined forces to finish together.

David, who was leading the team, said: "It's a phenomenal undertaking and going to be really touch but we're all training hard to make sure we all get to Land's End and hopefully raise a million pounds for Sport Relief. I've seen what money raised through Sport Relief can do and it really does make a difference. It will be this keeping me going through the tough journey ahead."

On the evening of Thursday March 4th 2010 (6.50pm GMT to be precise...), David and all of his team arrived at Land's End all the way from John O'Groats. After 82 straight hours, the team raised over £1million!

Footage from their journey was shown in the form of a documentary on BBC1, Thurs 18th March.
