The new concept of "Combat Touring"

RTB 2008 - it's planned

Do you fancy having a go at the Round the Bend Challenge?

Are you an Ironbutt contender? Do you think that this is easy? Do think it sounds like a blast? Well, we are laying down a gauntlet to anyone who fancies their chances. Click here or on the link bar for full details

 

 

   

Over 7 days we did 3,350 miles, riding about 10 hours per day.  Day 1 was done in 19 hours and 21 mins and the sum total of problems were numb bums, sore shoulders and 1 sheared bolt.  There are loads of wee stories that will be written up over the next while along with lots of photos and some video clips but obviously it will take a week or 2 to get everything sorted.

I would especially like to thank Jim Harley of J Harley Rider Training of Glasgow  0870 600 1997 for his unstinting support in fixing/servicing bikes and paying for fuel.

Full preparation story here: Diary of an Obsessive Biker and soon to include the ride report. Photos added

What's for after's?

Well, that is a leading question.  We have ideas, of course, but nothing that can be discussed just yet.
