Hello, we're getting ready for Red Nose Day, so of course all sorts of people are up to all sorts of jolly japes.

One of them is BBC Radio 1 DJ, Ariel Free, who is cycling one of those bikes you see with groups of people on it sometimes on stag and hendos.

And she's cycling across five cities over five days for 50 hours in total while DJing.

Three, two, one.

Yeah!

And of course the Wags at Radio 1 have called it the Tour de Dance.

What a great idea.

And Ariel has managed to grab a few seconds off the bike to speak to us now.

Hello.

Hi, how are you?

Oh, someone sounds like they've done a quite a lot of work already today.

Yeah, it's been annoying at myself because I didn't think it was going to be this hard this early, but it's been brutal.

And what's the rest of the route then for the rest of the week?

Sheffield, Manchester, and then hopefully Liverpool the last day were that hopefully the finish line will be.

I basically have to make them has to be 50 hours or whatever I have like a 20 minute lunch break.

Is there an extra 20 minutes at the end of the day on my own on the bike to make up the time?

So we're getting there.

What are things that are helping you or cheering you up or spurring you on?

The people here coming on the bike are amazing because I think they can see when I'm flagging a bit and they like the fellow Radio 1% is they're jumping on, they've been like hype people.

So they're getting everyone's going.

Is there a career a week?
