Lands End.jpgSolo tandem rider seeks stoker for LEJOG record attempt
Calling all stokers - a tandem cyclist is on the hunt for the perfect partner to help him complete LEJOG in world record time.
Hampshire man Dominic Irvine, 45, has already tried the 842-mile trip last year, but he and his partner Ian Rodd missed out on the top time - two days, two hours, 14 minutes and 25 seconds - due to bad weather.
He told the Southern Daily Echo: “It’s ordinary people trying to do something extraordinary and at the same time making a positive contribution to society.
“We need to work together on the bike. You’ll need to have a background in endurance and have a sense of humour, as you’ll need to spend a lot of time training with each other.”
If you think you might be up for the challenge - which will involve at least 15 hours of training a week on and off the tandem before the attempt in a year's time - email dom.irvine [at] gmail.com.

Shall I do it?

Shame that he's looking for someone in Hampshire..... I couldn't be further away and still in England!!
I would hope that it involves more than 15 hours of training!
