Out of interest 'crazy lady' , what route do you use to do the 1000 miles and how many hours actual riding? I imagine Scotland is the only place to find generally decent roads with little traffic. My mate has just done LeJoG on a 1943 Indian but he did take 4 days each way - I think he's entitled though. A friend of his has ridden from Devon to JoG in one day but that probably accounts for his lack of sense of humour. |

I've done kendal to LE in 15 hours to go on hols so was only pootling. I usually do the northern anticlockwise. The idea being to not be doing any twisty roads in the dark. 6 of one and half a dozen of the other. Twisty roads keep you awake but tyer Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk |

If you look on the iron butt site you can do a saddle sore 1000 or any of the others from a start point and time of your choice. Much easier. But the rblr1000 is for a good cause. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk |

I think I'll stick to a nice run around now. 250 or so in a day should be sufficient for my office butt. I'll have a look at the site out of interest though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I have a few long day days- and nights.........I really cant be bothered with mileage...........I have read about too many incidences............running behind miles......pick boring roads and ride faster to keep awake, yeah great idea. |

Everyone seeks challenges in different ways, I'd no idea how popular this was until CBL brought it up. It's not my thing either but then neither is a round the world bike trip or having the latest enduro machine for pootling about on but each to their own. I'd be interested in a green laning equivilent though, I wonder what that could be. I think 1000 miles could be done in a week of daytime riding. |

If it can it would be a disappointment as it would demonstrate that there is only 3 and half weeks of legal riding in the UK. An interesting proposal though |

You've lost me there Mike. I was just thinking of something similar for the trail rider and took the 1000 mile approach and reccon it would take 5 days riding every day for say 10 hours. I'm not sure 24hr trail riding would be so smart or sociable. |

Maybe the PDNPA will let us ride the lanes after dark!!! We won't meet anyone then. |
