This type of event is recognised internationally as a long distance endurance motorcycle ride, with certification provided through the 'Iron Butt Association'. Participants need to follow certain rules to achieve their award.
It's a test of mental and physical endurance. I'm aiming to ride in Mid-Late Feb, 2017, during a weekday, weather dependant. I'm aiming to raise $1 per km of riding for Aran Animal Rescue.

Chris Wiltshire's involvement (page creator)
I will be one of two riders attempting this ride together.
I'm keen to do this both for my own personal achievement and as a fundraiser for Aran Animal Rescue. ~ They do wonderful work saving the lives of dogs who are on death row at animal shelters around NZ; often through no fault of their own.

We’re at it again. 8 February 2018
Hi. We’re at it again, fundraising for Aran this year, in 16 days we’ll be riding 2,414kms in 36hours.
You’re being sent this email as you were generous enough to support us last year and I’m hopeful that you might back us on our ride again this year.
The new fundraising page for 2018’s effort is here: https://givealittle.co.nz/fundraiser/bun-burner-for-aran-animal-rescue
Last year we raised $2100 for Aran, my target this year is $2,414 ($1/km again) and I’ve got a fair way to go; we’re at just over $400 currently.
If you can spare a few more dollars this year for Aran then please take a look at the info on the page - it’s quite a different ride this time. :)
Thanks again, regards,
Chris.
