In July 2010 club members Craig McKee and Simon Mitchell, together with a friend Keith Smithers, rode from Lands End to John O'Groats in 6 days. Their schedule required them to average 152 miles per day with the longest day being 179 miles. They managed to fall off twice, not too seriously, but Simon did have to have a trip to A and E at the end of the day because his head was still ringing! The bikes faired better, with not a single puncture or mechanical issue. Craig's girlfriend Faye, the support driver, managed to keep her sanity despite spending 54 hours, mostly alone, in the car during the trip. They finished at John O'Groats, having raised £5389.88 for Cancer Research.

This demonstrates that despite popular belief, some club members like riding long distances. They might also claim this as a club record (there's a challenge!), but for many Stuart Sherriff's two rides which he performed unaccompanied and carrying his own luggage set a record of a different kind. You can see Stuart's accounts on Stuart Sherriff (1) and Stuart Sherriff - both ways.
