For the sixth consecutive year—yes, that’s right, folks, a streak more consistent than the British weather disappointing you on a bank holiday, Rig is once again revving up to take part in the illustrious, the legendary, the absolutely wheely exciting Motorbike Forum UK Challenge 100! This grand adventure is lovingly orchestrated by the fine and noble individuals over at themotorbikeforum.co.uk, who somehow manage to combine their unparalleled enthusiasm for two wheels with an admirable knack for spreadsheets. Hats off to them—though, perhaps, not while riding!
Rig, as always, is ready to don his metaphorical (and literal) helmet of glory, aiming to conquer the challenge with style, grit, and maybe just a tiny bit of help from Google Maps. It’s an event full of camaraderie, scenic routes, and enough petrol fumes to make a skunk blush. Watch this space, because when it comes to Rig and his trusty bike, adventure is always just a throttle twist away!-
