It's a long time to load but in case you ever want to check to see if somebody is really an IBA member here's how. Go to this link http://www.ironbutt.com/rides/rideslogin.cfm enter the password (prevents spammers from harvesting the list) and then search for the name of the rider.
1st Saddlesore 1000
- Raleigh, NC to Kansas City, MO - July 2001
2nd Saddlesore 1000
- What I call the 5 State Springtime I-Mountain Tour -
April 2002
Eric Justason (a coworker) emailed and asked if I
wanted to join him for a qualifying run.
At first I was reluctant, hadn't practiced up and prepared
like I had for the first trip.
After about 10 hours of thought I decided I wasn't really
an Ironbutt if I couldn't
jump on the bike and ride a thousand miles.
Not much to say abou this trip. We just rode a
big circle and took about 19 hours with about 2.5 hours of stop
time. I found out that having a partner makes the stops longer --
you end up jawboning at the service station and those miles and
minutes just slip away.
Here are the pictures.
