Are you tough enough to ride 1000 miles for the Poppy Appeal

Hi
All the details here http://rblr1000.co.uk/ its on 21st to 23rd June 2013.
I have done this the last 3 years, first 2 on a GSX1400 and the last one on Z1000SX. I don't have an MT yet, but im pretty sure I would not be using it, stick to the ZSX for this.
There were about 200 riders last year, split over the 4 routes, I have done both the Northern routes and South Clock wise, not once have we had decent weather, pixxed down for at least 500 miles last year and then all the way home from Leeds, yes I do the 1,000 and then ride another 190 miles home.
But it is a great feeling when you arrive back at Squires Cafe in Leeds, i did it in just over 17hrs 38mins last year was 3rd to finish, although it is most definitely not a race, it really is just about finishing.
It is a brilliant way to raise money for a great cause, has anyone else on here done it or planning to this year ?
