Hello! Welcome back to The Arctic Rider blog! 5 weeks today I'll be setting off once again for the Arctic Circle on my motorbike to raise money for charity. I wanted to do a quick blog to share my route with you all. Its been chopping and changing due to different flights, not knowing what bike I was going to be riding, and where I needed to start from but now that it is all sorted I can share with you my plans. Now I'm going to be honest, this route looks tough... very tough for a number of reasons. Firstly, the mileage. I've got around 5,800 miles to ride in 18 days... but 2 of those days the bike and I will be flying, so its actually 16 days.. meaning I have to average 360 miles per day.. I've also included 2x contingency days into my plans, so its actually more like 400 miles per day with a few 500+ mile days thrown in there for good measure. Now I might have completed the UK end to end Iron Butt which was an 875 mile day but that just about killed me. ...
Real-world adventure. Purposeful miles
