SaddleSore 2000 Rules
Version No. 1.0

 

Date last revised: March 23, 2008

 

SaddleSore 2000 Application

© 2000, Iron Butt Association, Chicago, Illinois

SaddleSore 2000 Application may be reproduced and distributed as needed for personal or club use.


The SaddleSore 2000 is simply 2,000 or more miles in 48 hours. For the history of the SaddleSore series of rides, you should carefully read and become familiar with the SaddleSore 1000 rules and history of the ride.

The SaddleSore 2000 Rules

The rules are identical to those of a SaddleSore 1000, except the mileage requirement is at least 2,000 miles in 48 hours.

You may elect to ride more miles in either time period, so long as the total of the 48 hours is greater then 2,000 miles. So if your personal rythme means you would rather ride 1,050 miles on day one and then take an extended motel stop, well into the second bank of hours, you would have to complete the remaining 950 miles by the end of 48 hours.

You have several options to bail out on this ride. The documents needed are the same as a SaddleSore 1000 and Bun Burner 1500, so if you cannot complete the 2000, you may still have made the 1,500 in 36 hours or 1,000 in 24 hour rides.

If you have any questions about this ride, you may write to the Iron Butt Butt UK Garlands Farm, West Challow, Wantage, Oxfordshire OX12 9PB or send e-mail to roger@ironbuttuk.org or pete@ironbuttuk.org
