Le Jog 9th July 2016, Meet Lands End 5am to sign in/complete paperwork
- Thread starter GSears
- Start date
This has always been a sunrise to sunset ride not daylight, twilight or anything else. To get the special certificate you will need to leave after sunrise and be in Jog for sunset. I will witness the start and end and record odos.
There is nothing to stop you taking longer but you will need to complete the paperwork in the normal manner and submit it for verification.
If by chance I do not make the finish due to some unforeseen circumstances you will need an end witness and receipt.... from the bar. So take some witness forms with you.
This is not a race. The aim is to complete the ride safely with in the available time which is doable at normal iron butt average speeds.
I'll be riding down Saturday morning but will be in the carpark before 5am.

Phil,,,, I was also asked the question and think some of us read the description of the ride which seemed to suggest that the normal ride is sunrise to sunset and anyone completing it in Daylight will get a special "Daytime End To End certificate "
Which is another ride category.
Hopefully everyone knows now that the Daylight is Sunrise and Sunset for this ride....
See you on Sat
(Sunrise) and for a Beer (Sunset)
I have abandoned my ride; at the moment I am struggling to do the more challenging rides.
Although I rode to Lands’ End and started with the other riders at 5.23am this morning. As I left I got a pain in my left Hip this is normal for me due to an old injury from several years ago.
I can normally ride through the pain as it only lasts about 5 minutes. But this time it didn’t stop.
I had a battle in my head the length of the A30 as to whether I should press on or go home as the pain was not getting any better.
Decision time came (just as Phil went flying past). At the Junction of the A30 & M5, do I carry on up the M5 north or take the slip road for Honiton?
Honiton won

Up this morning at 3:30 from hotel and away at 4.00.
Met Phil and Ziggy before setting of earlier than the group.
Made good progress until the RAIN came down and by the time i got to Manchester M56 i was totally soaked p*****d off, misted up and cold. Couldn't see further than 20 feet through the spray.
So i headed home not wanting to do a further 8 hours in this !.
Best of luck to the hard core souls who will persist.
