On Thursday 16th June 2011 our very own John Young (Director), will be taking part in The Iron Butt Rally held in the United States. The rally consists of five checkpoints located around the perimeter of the United States, in order to be considered a finisher the riders must be present at each of these checkpoints within a two hour window.
No consideration is given for bad weather, riders can expect to ride through severe thunderstorms, hurricanes and the occasional tornado. Temperature extremes routinely run 125 degrees or more in the desert southwest, in living up to the name "Worlds Toughest Motorcycle Competition", event organizers intentionally route the rally through such places as Death Valley or the Mojave Desert during the hottest part of the day, to extreme cold at the top of mountains like Pike's Peak in Colorado.
We will be posting updates on John's progression through his gruelling journey, so please show your support and follow his success.
