You don’t have to live in the countryside or have oodles of free time either, just by riding regularly you’ll be amazed how the miles tot up. Commuting daily and the occasionally weekend jaunt will see you nudging 4000 miles by years end. Enjoy a holiday exploring the UK or Europe’s stunning roads, go on a couple of long weekends with your mates and you’ll sail right through your target. If you’re already a hard core, iron butt then there’s always the 10,000 mile challenge!
