Crap Tartan also came from Scottish land, but he came less, Amanda came from Peterborough. No Italian bikes broke down either Quote:

Re: Soooooooo...
That's what happens when you travel into central London, it's like a friggin time warp! Why anybody would choose to do that when they don't have to is beyond me!

Re: Soooooooo...
I know who came the furthest last year.
I had a 5000 mile, 20 hour flight (with connections) to land in Manchester then hopped on a bike and rode past Chippenham and that was just the first leg of the journey. Not sure how may hours I had been awake at that point but would still take that over London traffic!

Er...Impressive numbers but 561 miles to get there, 624 on day one, with a total of 1034??? You either really took the long way there or took a heck of a shortcut on your way home!!!!
