Hello! Welcome to The Arctic Rider blog. Its been a few weeks now since I completed my Iron Butt challenge to raise money for the charity Tiny Lives Trust . Back in my usual routine, I've found myself thinking back quite a lot and thought I better get blogging to let you all know about it. The first thing I would say is that looking back, I'm immensely proud of not only completing the Iron Butt but doing it in 18.5 hours. I got lucky with the weather, the road conditions, and traffic, which really helped. I also need to say a MASSIVE thanks to everyone who donated and supported me. Top job everyone. Even though I'm proud, over the last few weeks I've been asked (and asked myself) if I would do it again and I think the answer is no... And here is why. Stopped at Gretna, Scotland - 10 hours and 493/875 It wasn't fun . I mean it really wasn't fun. I love love love riding my motorbike... Whether its on twisty mountain roads, nipping past towns and...
Real-world adventure. Purposeful miles
