Good luck doing this again mate.

Sounds like a laugh, any prerequisites for this?

Why only 4?

Umm in English this means ??

Oh yeh,

You must have a bike.
You must be willing to help with the organisation of the run.
You have to obtain sponsorship (as much as possible)

It may sound like a larf, but trust me it not, after day 3 the arss starts going numb and when it rains (and it will) you are riding for 14 days in wet gear, and remember, things never go to plan.

The last Run was a nightmare as it rained everyday for the 14 days.

This is basically due to the size of the accommodation locations.

There are 4 main riders with a back-up crew of 2, so 6 in total, however, each daily leg is open to any amount of riders we can get our hands on.
