This page covers activity in 1992
There were three rides, with three successes and three fails.
1992 RTTC #2 50 miles solo tricycle, team record 6h 15m 43s
1992 RTTC #3 25 miles solo tricycle, team record 2h 59m 26s
1992 RRA #7 Land's End to John o'Groats solo tricycle 2d 5h 29m 1s
for 840 miles
1992 Failed at RRA 12 hours, 24 hours, 1000 miles (as part of
above)
A couple of successes and a bit of a disappointment
Report of 50 Team 25 Team and failed 24 hour
Here's part of the paperwork for the 25. There were more riders, but this page has all of our stuff. Fans of Mr Cottington (with memories going back to 1970) will note that the field layout is possibly not following the RTTC guidelines. Putting Dave Pitt behind me and putting Pete Pickers behind Glenn might not be showing full respect for the "avoid the risk of company riding wherever possible". But we got away with it...

And here's the Grand Adventure : The End to End
The first item is my account, including the elements of preparation and research.
Report of Land's End to John o'Groats Schedule for Land's End to John o'Groats
I'd urge you to also read these two items as well, to get a wider perspective on the planning needed along with all the behind-the-scenes activity. John also covers of the weather aspects in a bit more detail.
John Dalton's take on the End to End ride
Martin Purser's take on the End to End ride
And then we also have:
My note on logistics The Game Plan Thoughts about the course Pace Notes
The Clothing strategy And the Feeding plan. As organiser and rider, you can't be managing this 'on the fly'.
And finally, several pages of background and memorabilia, including schedule & full story of Eric Tremaine's ride in 1982, other essays, press cuttings and letters/cards received after the event.
I was obviously not feeling tired after that, because I appear to have submitted a schedule for Land's End to London in September. Crazy.
