I'm new to the forums. Is it often that groups get together to attempt an Iron Butt ride? I'm in the Phoenix area and I'm thinking about attemtping a SaddleSore 1000 ride.

 

I kinda want to. I dont know exactly how to go through with it though. Its pretty common for me to ride 500-800 miles on a saturday, I just havent put the effort into it yet. I know this doesnt help you any, but I onder if anyone could get me started on how to contact the people required to document this so i could make it happen also?

 

Go to www.ironbutt.com All the info you need is there.

 

Thanks assault! that link answered questions I didnt even know I had yet. I will start plotting a course soon.

 

I heard there was one in waxahachie this weekend........................LO............

 

My friend Bill and I did one in April. It was sponsored by the local Shriners, Scooter Unit. They planned the route and had a back up vehicle follow to pick up break downs. They also handled all the paper work for the IBA. We did 1075 miles in 21 hours. Tulsa to Wichtia,Topeka,Kansas City, Saint Louis, and then, a straight shot down I-44 back to Tulsa. We enjoyed it, but I don't know that I would do another one. They call it The Saddle Sore 1000 for a reason. Go to www.ironbutt.com for more info.

 

So with all theses questions anyone in for a long ride out of this heat in the phoenix area ??

I live in the Phoenix area and I have completed 2 Saddlesores, a 1500 Bunburner, 2000 Saddlesore and a 50 CC. If you need a witness to sign you out or sign you in or both let me know. The first Saddlesore I did was from Phoenix-Tucson-Las Cruces-Albequerque-Flagstaff-Phoenix. Total was around 1100 miles it can be done in about 18 total hours.

Just let me know

ok, I dont understand how u guys ride 500-800 miles on a saturday, I went 325 miles last saturday and it took me 8 hours and my butt was sore... the only thing I can imagine is you guys go strictly highway form one point to another

 

well???????
