Hello!

[Fitchy]

Nice to virtually meet you all!

My name's Neil and I'm planning a saddle sore 1000 for June, I know the rblr run there's on the 10th, I'm going the same route but setting off at a different time from the Durham area and raising money for a separate smaller charity

I'm used to doing a few hundred miles on a weekend but never attempted anything like this before!!

Hope to see a few of you on the road!

Cheers!

Welcome!

Just make sure you read all the information and guidelines for the rides in order to get it verified at the end of it all!

Don't forget, if you get tired, STOP..... you can have a rest and still get your ride done in the time... there is a lot of information out there about avoiding stimulants and planning and so on, but at the end of the day, only you know your limits.

Enjoy your ride but stay safe.

Thanks!
I have read through the info and guidelines and got a few ideas, snacks and such
I think my biggest problem will be lack of caffeine! Hahaha, can't wait for the challenge though, something to look forward to

Why not pop along to the Jamboree on Sunday. Have a chat to a few like minded souls.

Unfortunately Sunday is a bit short notice for me but I'll be keeping my eyes on the calendar to see what I can sort out
