Toby Tarrant is taking on a challenge unlike any other! From Monday 7th to Friday 11th October, the Radio X man will put his mind, body and reputation through a challenge unlike any other; 56 miles on a pedalo! Going from one end of London to the other and then taking on the meandering might of the River Thames!
🔴 The Route:
• Starting at the mouth of where the River Thames meets the Grand Union Canal, he will travel up the the Grand Union Canal and then down Regents Canal.
• He’ll go through West London and Central London, passing London Zoo and going through Camden.
• He’ll go through the half a mile long Islington Tunnel; pedalling in pitch black until he reaches the other side…at which point he’ll turn round and come back the whole way he’s just been!
• Eventually he’ll end up back at the River Thames again, where he’ll pedal down to Putney Pier to complete the challenge.
🕰️ The Schedule:
• Toby must cover 12 miles a day on the pedalo. The average speed he will be going will be just over 1 mile an hour, that means it could take him up to 12 hours each day.
• He will burn the same number of calories as he would running a marathon
• He may be pedalling but unlike cycling he won’t cover the same type of distance. A cyclist could cover of 100 miles in 12 hours, Toby will only be able to do 12 miles each day.
🌟 Why?
• Because Global’s Make Some Noise asked him to…and he foolishly said yes.
So, tune in and get ready to donate to greatest charity challenge you never knew you needed! Toby Tarrant takes on London and take on The Thames in the ride of his life. It’s bound to be a journey for the history books - or at least one Toby will never forget.

This isnt going to go well, im rooting for you toby!

The unicorn is a bit lopsided. Do they need to add some weight on the other side and back. That may help it go through the water quicker.
