00:00So here we are in Belfast Harbour, iconic cranes behind us and I am wearing stupid clothing again
00:06which will only mean one thing which is that we're heading on another Doddy ride.
00:10Five days, 754 miles, 30 teams, 25 stops, 300 cyclists and crew taking part and we're all
00:18trying to raise 1 million pounds for My Name's Doddy Foundation and research to find a cure for
00:23MND. If you don't mind I'm going to be sharing videos daily, I'm looking really happy and full
00:28of energy, that's going to change as we go day by day, big 200 mile days but we're ending at
00:34the grass market at three o'clock on Saturday the day before Scotland Play Island and you're
00:41very welcome to come and welcome us in there and then we're through to Heriot School where
00:45the actual finishing line is and we don't know what state we'll be in, I don't think I'll be
00:50as chatty by then but more videos to come with the highs and lows of our journey as we go.
