UNOFFICIAL WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT
 
On the 21st of May 2013 at approximately 09.00 two Honda C90 riders will set off from Beacon Hill Services, junction 51 on the A14 in an attempt to ride 1000 miles inside 24 hours.
To the best of our knowledge this has never been achieved before and as far as we can tell has only ever been attempted twice before, both times by Mick one of the riders who will be attempting again this time.
Mick, a Bolton lad, first attempt ended with him in hospital with a fractured wrist, his second attempt failed by one hour and five minutes, Mick reaching the 1000 mile target in twenty-five hour and five minutes.
The second rider  Jim or Newt, as he is known by his friends from Stowmarket in Suffolk has several long distance Honda C90 rider behind him including a Lands End to John O'Groats completed in twenty hours and fifty-eight minutes.
Both rider are hoping to raise money for their respective charities, Mick will be riding for Bolton Hospice and Jim will be riding for The Children's Air Ambulance.
Both have set up Just giving sites and money can be donated here.
