NEW UK RIDE NEW UK RIDE NEW UK RIDE
I have just received confirmation from the IBA that my
proposal for a 4 corners ride in the UK has been accepted
The ‘Corners’ are as follows:
Lands End. England
St David’s Point. Wales
John O’Groats. Scotland
Lowestoft. England
It is understood that these points are not the geographical
land points but Lands End and John O'Groats MUST at some part or the ride be incorporated in any order, then it was also
natural to include Wales in the ride. Note you dont nessesarily have to do an End to End ride as part of this, Do the 4 Corners
in any order you want
This is a major achievement for the Iron Butt UK and its
riders. The ride has more than SEVEN options to complete
The route is around 14-1800
miles dependant upon starting point as follows
Anti clockwise
Start JOG,
end Lowestoft 1,475
Start St David's, end
JOG 1550
Start LE, end St D 1,896
Start Lowestoft, end LE 1778
Clockwise
Start JOG, end St D 1535
Start Lowestoft, end JOG 1475
Start lands, end Lowestoft
1763
Start St D, end LE 1882
There are more options for this ride
which will all be looked at. As long as all 4 corners are visited in the time allowed go which ever way you want.
What I need is someone who would like
to test ride this new UK ride and be the first to get their name on the list. It’s a 36 Hour ride and we can then look
at it in detail to see if it can be done quicker, as a gold ride or changed to a 48 hour ride. Safety is the key. I’m
not looking for someone to do this at breakneck speed. An average for the whole ride of 50mph is sufficient for all IBA rides
except Gold’s.
Interested, then email me ASAP at roger@ibaeurope.eu or roger@ironbuttuk.org
I ride, 3 Countries, 4 Corners, 8 Options, 1 amazing
