2,500km would be 12 and a half days
Thanks, that was what I was hoping to hear
But want to find out for definite, not just an interpretation....
For my purposes 12 and 1/2 days is basically the same as 13, eg. set off at 9am day 1, get till 9pm on day 13.....
EDIT (before posting) have rewritten parts several times as information keep being posted (I am a slow typer...) am just posting now....
But.... I guess I would have to nominate suitable check points and hit them at appropriately times? So if started at 9am on day 1, would effectively have to have done 2400km before bed on day 12, so even thought could have a good night sleep plus 12 hours riding could only do 100km (out of the 2500km) on final day?
if he's just being mischievous by picking the one distance that seems to fall between the cracks
for events over 2499 km, 200 km per day
I did not make up the rule.... surely if only whole days counted they would have made the rule for routes over 2399 or 2599?
Route comes to a bit less than 2500km and am struggling to come up with suitable schedule as want to spend couple of days not riding (staying with friends and family on route, will be my main holiday...). Seemed worth adding few extra km's to gian an extra 2 days.....
Route I am looking at is John O'Groats to Lands End via the most north, west, east and south points in UK
Extreme points of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, (John O'Groats and Lands End are not any of these....) plus a few other bits what to do on the way
Other option is to breaking the run up into smaller sections eg 1000km, days rest, 400km, days rest, 900km. The route brakes up quite naturally into these sections.
May even break the 1000km and 900km sections into smaller rides so can gain a nights sleep "off the clock".
This also give's added benefit of if something goes wrong on one section the whole ride is not a DNF... Would like to call a single ride but I will still know how long the whole ride was....
