A pensive Mick Hall rings in after completing his 5000 mile, 5 day charity ride with just minutes to spare.


Sit back and relax now, Mick -- well done!  For those sitting on the fence to donate until seeing whether he'd get it done or not, head on over to http://adventure-spec.com/mick-hall/ to find out the details.


Get some well-earned sleep, Mick!

Dave Lomax rings in with an update, having just met Mick for a Formula 1 style pit stop at a local service station.  Mick is up against it, time wise, so no rest for the weary from here on out.


Mick's on-bike phone system is out of charge, so we won't know whether he's accomplished his goal until about 1900hrs tonight...



Good luck, Mick!

Mick rings in from the morning of his final day.  Keep it safe, Mick!!

With 1200 miles to go, Mick is into the 5th day of his 5000mile, 5 day ride.  He's into short loops for the duration, which will let him sneak in for a rest if need be.


Keep it rolling, Mick!

The miles are ratcheting up as Mick has found some swift traffic to pace the miles along.  The bike and equipment are holding up well (excluding the Zumo).

Mid way through day 4, the fatigue is firmly set in.  A bit behind schedule, Mick presses on.

Mick gets shat upon -- and not by a bird, either!

A body needs fuel, too.

Mick rings 60 miles in to day 4.

Mick sets out for day 4 of his 5 day/5000 mile charity ride.

Still on pace for 1000 per day, Mick's got 3k in the bank and is ready to turn in for a few hours' rest.

Near the end of day three, and Mick may have gotten pipped by a speed camera...

Now into his day 3 run, Mick rings in to let us know what's on his mind.

A weary Mick rings in as he sets out for day 3 of his 5-day, 5000 mile charity ride around the UK.

(sorry for the road noise once he gets moving)

Knackered, Mick is calling it a night as he heads back for some rest, 300 miles toward his day 3 quota already in the bag.

Over 2000miles in the book, Mick is closing in on the halfway mark.  Hitting the Red Bull, he's fighting off the aches, pains, and fatigue and pushing on for his charities.

Closing in on Glasgow (again), Mick ponders whether to head to Land's End while the weather holds.

Mick makes John O'Groats, and the end of a long, wet, cold day.

Tantalizingly close to John O'Groats, Mick is now back in the weather.  Stay tough, Mate, you're almost home for the night!

On his second night, and now past the 1000 mile mark, Mick finds himself in darkest Scotland, closing in on John O'Groats.

The Scala Rider headset apparently now operational, Mick checks in literally as he rolls through the 1000 mile mark.

Mick checks in with just over 100 miles to go in the first thousand.

Mick rings in as he approaches Glasgow.

Refreshed from his short respite, Mick rings in with an update.

Mick pulls in for a cuppa and a quick nap, about 1/2 way through his Day 1 mileage.

The weather continues to pummel Mick on his first day (night).  Hopefully it can only improve from here on out...

Mick rings in after a tough start to the trip.

Mick Hall will be attempting to ride 5000miles around the UK in 5 days for charity.  Dave rings in with a preview of the action.
