Background to the End2End Rides
Prior to 1993, the Iron Butt Association did not certify
1000-in-1 rides. To that point we referred riders to other organizations. Unfortunately, that occasionally turned out to be
a mistake. In some cases, organizations that claimed to have rides didn't, while others took riders' money and never
delivered promised awards.
Although it was never the Iron Butt
Association's intention to certify 1000-in-1 rides, the number of letters we received asking to do so had become staggering.
With some serious pushing from our members, we agreed to certify a variety of long distance rides. At that same time, the
IBA had been working closely with Les Martin at the California Motorcycle Touring Association (CMTA) for ride certifications
taking place in California, Nevada and Oregon. As it turns out our decision to gear up for ride certifications came about
the same time Les Martin had announced he was retiring (1993). With Les moving on to a (hopefully!) more relaxed lifestyle,
we were sad to see the rich history of the SaddleSore and BunBurner rides he had been working so hard on for so many years
to be lost. It only took a few minutes of discussion with Les about our plans before he decided to donate both the SaddleSore
and BunBurner names to the Iron Butt Association. During the CMTA days, the SaddleSore was 1,000 miles in 24 hours day certification
and the BunBurner was 1,500 miles in 36 hours. The IBA renamed the rides slightly, the SaddleSore became the SaddleSore 1000
(1,000 miles in 24 hours) and the BunBurner became the BunBurner 1500 (1,500 miles in 36 hours). At the same time, we created
the BunBurner GOLD (1,500 miles in 24 hours) as so many riders had "unofficially" been documented since the early
1980s.
We hope that we can continue the quality and tradition
of the ride to which Les Martin devoted so many years of his life. If you meet Les, please remember to give him your thanks!
As news of the Iron Butt Association spread throughout the world and more riders wanted to participate in the sport of long
distance riding, it seemed natural that the IBA would look at other countries and accredit bespoke rides to that country,
but they still have to pass the stringent auditing and control that all other rides have in the past In the UK, the most obvious
ride apart from the basic SaddleSore 1000 and BunBurner 1500 is the possibility of riding from one end of the country to the
other within a set period of time.
Most people have
heard of the famous Land's End to John O'Groats, which is a total of 874 miles and can be completed by any means and
over any period of time, indeed the very first individual who is recorded as having completed the trip was Robert Carlyle
who did the deed walking whilst pushing a wheel barrow...
For the Iron Butt to recognize any such achievement there needs
to be not only a stringent auditing trail but also the ride in itself must pose a test to man and machine. After consultation
between the IBA and UK IBA representatives (IBAUK) it was decided that the End-to-End ride in less than 24 hours would indeed
pose such a challenge. The UK provides its own unique riding problems and it was felt that the start and finish to this ride
would add to the challenge as mountain and country ‘A' and ‘B' roads together with all too frequent bad
weather and heavy traffic would certainly pose a challenge to any rider. For a rider to achieve the End to End GOLD award
over 1,000 miles must be covered between the two points still under the 24 hour time frame. A test indeed.
Note: you cannot attempt the End to End GOLD award unless you have previously completed an Iron
Butt ride such as the SaddleSore 1000 or BunBurner 1500 or basic End to End. For further advice please contact the Iron Butt
Association or Roger Allen IBAUK rep.
The End to End & End to End Gold Guidelines for certifications
People that successfully have an End to End or End to End GOLD ride certified receive
a certificate, an Iron Butt Association pin and a plastic license plate back with our logo "Iron Butt Association - World's
Toughest Riders." Every time I read these guidelines, they seem overly complex. However, they were developed by one of
our members involved in record keeping for various sporting events and they were revised for the End to End by Roger Allen,
our UK representative. There is no doubt that the documentation requirements for these certification are tough, but when you
hang your certificate on the wall, you can rest easy knowing that we just don't hand these out to anyone. When the ride
is over, you have survived not only a very tough ride, but you'll have the documentation to back up your claims. How many
riders can say that? When you read the following guidelines, keep in mind that our goal is to see a well-documented ride.
If you cannot follow the guidelines exactly, feel free to drop us a line with a proposal. We will be happy to review your
plans and possibly accept changes to this format.

Iron Butt Association Guidelines for the End
to End and the End-to-End GOLD
Note: The Iron Butt UK
web site will always have the most current guidelines for this ride.www.ironbuttuk.org
Following are the guidelines for earning an Iron Butt Association Certificate of Completion and available
merchandise from our shop.
The End to End Ride (874 miles
in less than 24 hours)
The End to End GOLD Ride (1,000+ miles in under 24 hours)
It is actually possible to claim both the End-to-End GOLD, SaddleSore 1000 and End to End on the
same ride. This is not encouraged by the IBAUK as anyone who completes the GOLD has obviously completed the SaddleSore 1000
and the basic E2E.
You may also complete the ride two-up (with one person doing the piloting, the other being a passenger
the entire distance - you may not share piloting duties!). In these cases, the Iron Butt Association issues one certificate,
with both rider and passenger on it, but we provide two copies of it; one for the rider and one for the passenger. There is
no additional charge for a passenger, however, if they would like a pin or plate frame, you will need to add that in on the
fee schedule.
There are five main
steps to earning an End-to-End or End-to-End GOLD certification
1. Choose a safe route,
2. Get a start witness, (two witnesses are required for the GOLD award) and get a stamped
End to End verification form.
3. Collect and track receipts.
4. Get an end witness, two witnesses required for
the GOLD award and your verification form stamped, timed and dated.
5. Copy and submit your documentation.
Since safety is our primary concern, no pre-registration of your ride is needed. (Our
goal is to give you added flexibility to decide on any given day whether the combination of weather, your motorcycle and most
importantly, your attitude, are ready for a big ride)
STEP ONE, Choose a SAFE route
Your ride needs to be completely documented (steps outlined below) and begin at either
Land's End or John O'Groats. For the GOLD award you will need to complete over 1,000 miles in 24 hours or less between
the two points. In order to keep these rides from becoming a race, mileages in excess of 1,800 miles in less than 24 hours
will be published as 1,800+ on the Iron Butt Association web site.
WARNING: Whilst attempting the GOLD award, unless
your speedometer has been calibrated, do NOT depend on your own odometer readings for official mileage! Most Japanese motorcycles
register five to ten percent more miles than actually travelled, so over the course of a 24-hour period this error can be
quite severe - as much as 100 miles. IN ALL CASES, mileage will be verified with Map Source (a GPS mapping system), Microsoft's
Auto Route or the Automobile Associations web page (www.theaa.com)
From
a documentation standpoint, the best route is one where you take a straight-line ride from End to End. However, we realize
that many riders cannot afford to devote this kind of time to their ride. With that in mind, you may choose any route you
wish using the following guidelines: If you choose to complete the GOLD AWARD, which requires you to ride 1,000+ miles between
Land's End and John O'Groats, then you must meticulously track your route. You will need to obtain a dated receipt
at each "point" to show that you did not take a short- cut. For example; if you choose to ride the route from JOG
to LE Via the M1/M25/M40/M42/M5 we would expect to receive receipts from as near to the start as possible. You must also plan
in a stop at Clackett Lane Services between Junction 5 & 6 southbound or 6 & 5 if northbound on the M25. This will
ensure you have completed the distance required.
A safe ride should
be your primary goal.
If this is your first attempt at a
long distance ride, we highly recommend that you study the Iron Butt Association's 25 long distance riding tips located
here: 25 Tips. An additional tip for riders leaving from John O'Groats should be to watch the weather forecast and use
liberal applications of sunscreen and lip balm as you could be riding up to 14 hours into the sun through South East, South,
South West and West. Riders will find that the Motorway system offers the safest and quickest way to cover the miles.
Note: you cannot attempt the End to End GOLD award
unless you have previously completed an Iron Butt ride such as the SaddleSore 1000 or BunBurner 1500 or basic End to End.
For further advice please contact Roger Allen Iron Butt UK President.
No pre-registration is needed for the End to End or the End-to-End GOLD rides. We feel this removes
the pressure to complete the ride should you become tired or otherwise feel unsafe.
While group End-to-End rides bring with them the safety of group travel, they can also increase your risk. Group
rides can encourage aggressive, competitive and pressure forcing you to ride beyond your limits. Be sure that the riding styles
of others in your group match your own when planning a group ride. Keep in mind that group rides should only be as fast as
the slowest person in the group. This can extend your riding day many hours pushing you toward fatigue.
Motorcycling comes with risk and riding an End to End or 1,000 miles or more increases
your risk substantially. It is imperative you understand the risk you are taking and minimize the possibility of an accident
by practicing safe motorcycle habits. No one, not even the most experienced long distance rider, can safely fight off fatigue.
If you are tired, the only option is to stop and rest. Ignoring the symptoms of fatigue can be fatal.
The End-to-End and End-to-End GOLD rides enjoy a fantastic safety record but to continue
this record requires you to do your part. If you are tired, having a bad day, or facing other hurdles that are impacting you're
riding skills, please stop and rest so that you may enjoy motorcycling another day!
Please remember that the Iron Butt
Association is dedicated to the sport of safe, long-distance motorcycle riding. It does not condone nor will it tolerate unsafe
activities such as excessive speed, reckless motorcycle operation, riding while fatigued or otherwise impaired, the use of
stimulants to maintain alertness, or any other activity that results in riders exceeding their personal limits.
Any rider found to have engaged in these or other unsafe activities, as determined in the sole discretion of the IBA, will
have their certification refused. If the certification is already issued and we find out about these infractions after the
fact, the certification will be revoked. For these purposes, the IBA will consider as an admission of violating this policy
any public statements made by the participant that describe participation in unsafe activities during a ride subject to certification.
STEP
TWO: Get a start witness (two for the GOLD award)
In order to document your ride, the Iron Butt Association requires that you obtain an eyewitness to document the
start of your ride. Witnesses for the basic End to End may be a friend (but not one on the ride with you). Your witness could
be a spouse or even Petrol station attendant willing to answer a letter from the IBA about your start or end time. (You may
want to use the same rules that apply to the more extreme Iron Butt Association rides as outlined below).
If a passenger is on the ride with you, please ask your witnesses to sign a form for them
also. Make sure that you inform potential witnesses that the Iron Butt Association may be auditing certain aspects of your
ride and may be sending them a letter with a copy of the page they signed asking them to verify the information provided.
Keep in mind that a witness who doesn't bother to respond to an audit letter is as good as having no witness at all!
To this extent, it is highly recommended that you send a thank you note to all of your
witnesses after you complete your ride. Besides, many of them will be waiting to hear how you did.
If you can read .pdf
files (Adobe Acrobat) and want to see a deluxe "Thank You" letter, look on the IBA web site.
Try to remember
that you must act as a salesperson each time you approach someone to sign your log. If someone doesn't want to provide
their home address - suggest they give a business address.
According to experienced riders, taking a few minutes to
explain your ride to potential witnesses will get them involved. Most people will actually feel honored to sign your witness
form. However, attitude plays a key role, if someone refuses to sign your book, don't argue, move on to the next person.
In addition to your start witnesses you are also required to
obtain a stamped End to End verification form as issued by the Land's End association. These forms are obtainable at either
end and either the Sea view Hotel or the Land's End Hotel will sign, date and stamp them as additional proof that you
are starting your ride
Extreme ride witness rules (included here for
reference only, these rules are used on more advanced IBA rides): Find at least one fire-fighter, Police Officer, judge, notary
public or authorized Iron Butt Association member (if you are on-line, there is a list maintained at: http://www.saddlesore.com/witness/witness.htm)
willing to sign your witness form If you use a public official, you may fill out the witness section with the Fire Station
or other business address. Please contact Roger Allen if you have any queries roger@ironbuttuk.org
STEP THREE: Collect
and track receipts
Before the start, you will want
to try petrol stations or ATM machines to find one that has a receipt with a good location, time and date on it to document
the start of your ride.
Note: be very careful in trying to obtain
a start witness in either Land's End or John O'Groats especially if you plan to leave early as the local garage is
closed from 6pm until at least 8 30am and your hotel or B and B might not have a night porter on duty.
Careful planning is required, fill up your fuel tank and obtain a computer printed fuel
receipt with a legible date and time stamp.
NOTE: Many petrol stations in both the UK and in Europe are printing
an "invoice number" which is actually the time of the transaction for example; you might see Inv# 113557 which means
11:35:57 am. You may also elect to use a bank ATM receipt with a time and date stamp for your start time
* * * THE COMPUTER
TIME STAMP WILL BE YOUR OFFICIAL STARTING TIME * * *
The following
log entries and completed witness forms are mandatory
*Log
entries must be made at each fuel stop (sample attached). A log entry includes the following information; DATE, TIME, LOCATION
(i.e. Durham Services Tyneside) and ODOMETER reading.
*A receipt
must accompany each logbook entry (please note that the receipts from these fuel stops, where possible should include a date
stamp - we do NOT care about time stamps on these receipts, do not waste time worrying about time stamps, the only time stamps
that are critical are the start and finish receipts!).
*Log
entries must be made at each stop longer than 20 minutes
In
order for the verification team to account for your time, log entries must be made at each stop longer than 20 minutes (for
example you decide to stop at a roadside rest stop for a rest during the ride). Each entry for extended stops must include
the approximate length of the stop or the start time and ending time. Meals that take longer than 20 minutes are considered
rest stops - where possible please try and obtain a restaurant receipt.
Obviously,
many types of stops, for example a stop in a rest area, will not generate any kind of receipt - this is acceptable, but please
account for the time in your trip log. If in doubt it's better to log every stop.
*You must also obtain at least 5 petrol station stamps for your end to end verification form
In addition to the above must also obtain at least 5 petrol station stamps on your end
to end verification form. The time and mileage must be written against the relevant petrol station stamp. Note, not every
petrol station has stamps so it is worth while asking every time you stop for fuel.
*The time and mileage must be written against the relevant petrol station stamps
WARNING: If your motorcycle is equipped with a large fuel tank, please note that you must
stop at least once every 350 miles for gas (this is purely for documentation for your ride). Although we know it is possible
to ride greater distances non-stop, we will not accept a claim of this type.
At the end of your ride, before the 24-hour
time period is up, obtain a computer printed fuel receipt with a legible location, date and time stamp.
*
* * THIS RECIEPT WILL BE YOUR OFFICIAL ENDING TIME * * *
STEP FOUR: Get an end witness: (two for the
GOLD award)
After you get the fuel
receipt, find an eyewitness to document your ending time (two for the GOLD). Like the start, the basic End to End may be a
friend (but not one on the ride with you), spouse or even petrol station attendant willing to answer a letter from the IBA
about your start or end time. (You may want to use the same rules that apply to more extreme Iron Butt Association rides as
outlined above).
You must also obtain a stamp on the Land's End verification form to confirm that you have arrived
at your end point. The Land's End Hotel has an overnight reception porter
Note, be very careful in trying to obtain a start witness in either Land's End or John O'Groats especially
if you plan to leave early as the local garage is closed from 6pm until at least 8 30am and your hotel or B and B might not
have a night porter on duty. Careful planning is required
STEP FIVE: Prepare, Copy and submit your documentation
Find a map (an old, or photocopied one is acceptable) and circle
the locations you stopped in (don't forget the start and ending points). For fuel/food/etc (a Xerox of a map is acceptable).
This map is to assist the person verifying the routes and is meant to give a good overall picture of your ride. You
do not actually have to find the actual garages you stopped in, just circle the approximate area.
The best map is one that shows your route on one or two pages. Please do not send in multi-page route
sheets from mapping programs or an Auto club they are too hard for the verification team to get a good overview of your ride.
COPY your receipts and number the copies to correspond with
your trip log. COPY your witness forms and log. * * *
Retain
your original documentation - only send copies!
* * * If needed, write a short note about any problems with your ride, for example***
"The receipt from Newport Pagnall Services
does not have the correct date".
"I had the attendant write the correct date. The stations number is 123-123-1234"
COMPLETE the attached form
Basically, this is information where to send the awards, what name and motorcycle you want
on the certificate and the basic route you would like the award to note.
CALCULATE
the fee.
We offer several options, you can just get the paper certificate
for the ride or in combination with merchandise such as the Iron Butt Association pins and "World's Toughest Riders"
plate backs.
Should you wish, you can also take this chance to join
the Land's End Club and you should ask at your end Hotel for details. Should you choose to do this you will be required
to forward proof of the ride (a copy of your IBA ride documents cannot be argued with) together with your Land's End verification
form. Membership is £10 and you will also receive a certificate from them as well
FINALLY, send it to:
End to End or End to End GOLD (if that is the ride you completed),
Iron
Butt Association,
Garlands Farm,
West Challow,
Wantage.
Oxfordshire.
OX12 9PB.
Please try and avoid Registered or Certified mail - although it may seem faster to use
these services, we are at our full-time jobs during the day and sometimes it can take weeks to take time off from work to
pick up your "speedy" package. If you are concerned that we have not received your documents. we recommend "Delivery
Confirmation" a product offered by the Post Office that allows you to track a letter or package via an 0800 number, e-mail
or the internet.
When we receive your ride documentation, one of several
volunteers will start the verification process. Due to the extensive work involved (keying data into mileage spreadsheets,
map verifications, witness contacts where needed and custom certificate preparations) and the fact that all of the labour
involved with producing these awards are performed by volunteers, it will usually take a minimum of 1 to 2 months before your
certificates will be ready for signature and mailed to you.
We realize
this is a long time to wait for your certification. However, our certification process is very thorough. In fact, the entire
certification process is what gives your certificate value. It would be very easy for the Iron Butt Association to simply
take money and print up a generic "you rode a 1,000 mile day" certificate, however, the value of the entire certification
program is in the fact that not just anyone can get an Iron Butt Association ride certification. The downside is this process
takes time... We can only offer that when you receive your certification you know that not only you earned it, and so did
any other rider that you meet with the same certification.
Before
we can issue your certification, you may be asked to clarify certain aspects of your ride and/or documentation by e-mail,
phone or letter. Additionally, certain aspects of your ride are subject to audit by yet another set of IBA volunteers charged
with insuring only people that rode the miles get the award. Should your package get tagged for that audit, it too may delay
the final determination of your claim for the award. We strongly caution that out on the road it may not be possible to follow
these guidelines to the letter. If that happens, please explain any problem you encountered and we will do our best to work
out a solution. For example, 23 hours and 35 minutes into a ride, one person could not find a gas station with a computer-generated
receipt (obviously, our favorite type). So he got a few locals to witness the time he arrived. His other documents clearly
supported his claim of riding the distance in the time frame he claimed so we did not hesitate to process his award. If you
have any questions about this ride, you may write to
