BBG packet is here
Back in May, I rode a Bun Burner Gold ride — 1530 miles in 23 hours. I submitted the required paperwork to the Iron Butt Association a few days later.
The IBA packet arrived today - a nice certificate, a special BBG license plate backer, a pin - the works. I'm offiical.
The ride included a 16 mile detour along Badwater Road in Death Valley National Park that cannot be documented with a computerized receipt. When I submitted my documentation, I noted this, and included photos I took of the FJR at Lake Manly and at Badwater Point, along with links to my Spotwalla map. The IBA credited me with the whole 1530 miles.
Still to come this year are the Fall Equinox and Winter Solstice SaddleSores with Doug to complete our Four Seasons. Next year, I want to do a B2Bi — Mexico to Canada in 24 hours. After that, we'll have to see...
