Getting ready.




Well, it's now less than a week to go for our 1800 mile charity ride.. we've all been checking our bikes are going to be up for the challenge.

All the tyres from Pirelli are now fitted and have been perfectly balanced.




We have been running the new tyres in this week too.
we've all worked hard this week to minimize any problems once we hit the road.
We have the facilities now to update our hog blog daily during our ride, we will do this every evening.
All that's left to do now is pack!
