This motorbike challenge usually takes place on the longest day of the year. Bikers leave Lands End at sunrise and aim to reach John O'Groats by sunset following a designated 1,000 mile route avoiding motorways. On June 21 that’s 19 hours. It took me 25 hours last year... BUT this year Covid put a stop to that. So we are doing a 900 mile loop around England with start/finish in Grantham on Aug 1st. Basically covers all corners of the country The bikes must cost no more than £300 (not including the cost of insurance, MOT, tyres or brakes). So my bike needs plenty of TLC to keep going and struggles at high speed...but it’s for a great cause and one which has lost out massively from the virus impact
