Over 1000 miles in one day! Am I crazy? Many would say yes I am.
I have done a lot of touring in my time, I did the NC500 from Manchester and back in 5 days, I recently rode the entire island of Tenerife and over mount Teide in a day. But this is something else.
I have spent a long time researching how to get more saddle time in comfortably, and I have tried various boots, trousers (textiles, jeans and leathers) to see which are the ones I think will afford me the most comfort. However, anyone who has ridden a motorbike will attest that the bum goes numb no matter what you wear. This is where ripple come in. Their website states ‘Stay Comfortable Mile After Mile, No Matter How Far You Ride.
ApexRide Shorts Deliver Unmatched Comfort And Durability, Engineered To Keep You Riding Pain-Free, With The Smoothest, Most Discreet Fit – Like The Comfiest Underwear You’ll Ever Wear.
So, I have teamed up with them and will be wearing a pair of their boxers for the ride.
Comfort? I certainly hope so!
Nige has teamed up with 12 volt planet, Atom batteries, All Oils, Beeline navigation, Dr Wack, Goodridge, HiFlo filtro, Lomo, Lone Rider, MandP, MSG bike gear, Pinlock, Rippl impact gear, RS Motorworx, SMD automotive and Ultimate Addons to complete this challenge. Without the help of these companies this wouldn’t have been possible.
Nige would also like to extend his gratitude to Ant and Dan for their help and Emma for supporting him whilst he is spending time in the garage.
