    I don't think so ….but double check my math please. If the riders can figure it out while juggling with all on their plate, I'd hope we can too!!

    Laughing with ya. Here we are at our desks and we can't get the math straight! How are the riders supposed to figure it out??In BMRx time was a BFD and everything is run off of one timezone (affectionately referred to as RenoTime) Some riders used countdown timer apps on their smart phones...

    Yes, Mountain is a pilot, as is Owen, Barclay and Monroe. Those are the ones that I'm aware of that fly professionally, there may be others and/or private pilots. Edit: The time zone can be set to anything, most often riders set it to their local time zone ...it really has no bearing on...

    Colin, put me on the list agreeing with you. This is the best I've seen. An easy to understand basic criteria to finish: (note I did *not* say easy to ride) - 25 states - 50NP's with many to choose from That is the baseline. Big states in the west with many NP's …probably worth strong...

    2013 Iron Butt Rally - The Inside View

    Arrived in Rancho Cambodia a few hours ago ....already a lot of people. How did I know I was at the right place? Easy, the parking lot was full of IBA cars, .....and not all domestic owners. ....now, we'll see if this posts, it's been a while. BTW, might be hitting the shutter button a...

    Here Is A SS1000 That You’d Most Likely Never Consider.

    Bust not around here too much anyomore. Too many GenII girlz, ....but my friend Jimmy doesn't fit the mold. I foresee him being on a GenI soon. Sorry I missed you when you were out a few months ago, my riding is very minimal now-a-dayz.

    Here Is A SS1000 That You’d Most Likely Never Consider.

    Awesome Job Jimmy!!!   11-Thumbs Up From Your Friends In Reno That is the most impressive SS1K I've seen, great scenery, no duplicate paths yet tight, twisty, and no doubt the focus was on keeping the wheels moving. This is the kind of ride that one expects to see from a Gen1 rider. .....To...

    Big Money Rally 2013

    Let's back away the girlie emotion and look at the facts ...and you'll see why the BMR guyz are not always real keen on the BMR galz. + BMR2012 roster had a large percentage of bmrGALZ, more gender equal than any rally that we're familiar with -and the ratio is trending the same for 2013. +...

Not sure exactly where you're located, but last year we had finishers from Canada (including a woman) as well as MN, WA and states in the NE region. Many of...
