Cheers Stretchie! The claimed mpg is >220mpg. However, this is at something like 15mph! Cheeky *******s.

No update on the bike this week, but I've had the calculator out looking at what might be achievable on the rally.

I've been making some final preparations this week.

Only one week to go until the National Road Rally. I'm about halfway through planning the route!

See update on the blog: http://ridingalongwayslowly.blogspot...eek-to-go.html

Thanks to those who have sponsored me already, it's not too late if you haven't done so though! See the link on the blog!

Great stuff! Looks like a struggle with the performance you have available - but you've been shown the way by your dad, so you have a good target.

Best of luck, keep us up to date with your progress.

Cheers Sid. Tomorrow is the big day. Give the blog a follow, or twitter (@duleyp) for updates on my progress. And feel free to chuck me a tenner for the trouble!

Well done on completing the Silver, a great achievement, and a lovely restoration of the bike

We probably didn't cross paths, but I was keeping my eyes open for you.

This was the first time I have done the rally and it was great, after 540 miles in the saddle, you really bond with the bike

Hoping to do it again next year

Congratulations. The bike looks great and that's a good shakedown if nothing else!

Have enjoyed following even if I've not been good at saying so here. Very well done!

Fantastic and very well done on both the beautiful restoration and the Silver!

RingDing · 07-07-14, 08:01 PM

Thanks all. It's been quite an experience!

I'll take a few weeks break and then get the bike back into top working order again before selling it.

Rigor, what route did you go on? Well done on the Gold.
