My longest ride each week is currently around 100km and my longest ride this year before the event was 113km. Bruce and I had initially planned a longer lead up period to give me adequate time to build up to the appropriate mileage. After checking our diaries we soon discovered that most of our weekends were already booked with other kickbike races and events. We decided to bite the bullet... do a Nike and "just do it". We picked the only free weekend available that wouldn't interfere with preparation for the world championships. So with about 2 weeks notice, a last minute change in venue and a desperate plea for support, the challenge went ahead. I mention all this because there is no way that I would have been able to accomplish any of the records without the fantastic support I had on the day. It was truly an amazing experience to have a group of people (in some cases total strangers before the event) team together and focus on a common goal to keep me kicking (literally) :-). You've all given me a lifetime memory I will truly cherish. Alan :-) Hi Guys,

Congratulations. What a fantastic support group. Wish I could have been there to see such a feat and cheer you on. I knew you would go well over the 210km mark. You are the only person I know that has the strength, determination and focus to kick for that many hours. You are going to kick some butt at the World Championships in Italy this year. A Hug from Kaz... Alan, you are amazing. Congratulations. What a fantastic support group. Wish I could have been there to see such a feat and cheer you on.
