What inspired you to want to do the 1000 Mile Challenge?
My friend and I always ride together and try to do a week long trip once a season with the intent of riding at least 1000 miles. This is our style of riding, in a new area we have never been and can use our hobby to help raise money for a good cause.

What inspired you to want to do the 1000 Mile Challenge?
Me and my friend, Mark Maldeney schedule a week once a year, and our goal is to ride 1000 miles. We've had years where we easily achieved that goal and other years where we fell short to our sleds breaking down. We have never given up, we once dropped the skid out of a sled on the trail to remove the broken torsion springs and continue riding to get the sled back to our cabin. We searched for parts locally to get the sled up and going but had to make a 350 mile run to Wisconsin to buy another skid to get the parts from and we rebuilt the skid in the living room of the cabin, by the next morning we were back out on the trail trying to complete our goal of the 1000 miles. Never give up.
