Thank you all for the well wishes and the information. I pulled out an old receipt from the Loves at texarcana and it does contain the address and phone number. I also called the Love's in Anthony, Tx and asked about their receipts. They have assured me that they do include the address and the...

For the longest time, I've been wanting to complete a BBG to go along with my SS1K rides. This weekend presents the perfect opportunity since my wife and kids are out of town visiting my in-laws. I am calling this the "Texas Love Hug" since I will be crossing the entire state and my turn...

I just have to say how truly exceptional these riders are. Their tolerance and endurance alone is amazing. I have participated in several IBA rides/certs and a couple of small rallies in which I have placed in the top 5, but it pales in comparison to what I am seeing what these riders have...

Very well said!!!

On Sunday night @ 11:45pm, I saw that 1 rider was coming into south padre (and I'm here for the holiday weekend). Figured I'd try to catch them either at the bonus, which is odd cause it's a daylight only, or see them at their hotel. Sure enough, I caught up with them and it's none other than...

RJ's nickname should be Key West....gets a few suckers every time! LMAO ;)

Steve Bracken is officially out of the rally. His fbook post: To all the wonderful friends and family who have supported my bid to ride in the Iron Butt Rally. Thank You! "I just called Lisa to let her know that I will not make the checkpoint tonight ... but she can read Spot too and already...

The lone rider down in the keys is our very own Steve Bracken! I just arrived in South Padre for the holiday weekend. I was tracking spot on my drive down from San Antonio. Managed to see a rider going northbound just a few miles south of Corpus Christi. Then spotwall showed three riders down...

Oh, and the key west bonus is the big conch statue at the entrance of Key West High School. An individuals spot page revealed that.

On another note, I'll be headed down to south padre for the holiday weekend in an hour or so. Hoping to see any riders on the northbound lane so that my wife can snap a pic!

A couple of riders asked me to call them throughout the rally just to break the monotony of chugging down interstate miles. Spoke to two of them yesterday. Summary of some of their interesting comments: This rally is hard because there is no clear way to create a string without breaking it by...

The documentary of the 09 rally Hard miles 2 does a great job at telling this story. Owen rode hi as$ off to pull that one

Hmm....this is a new discovery for me. How does this work? Probably a PM conversation.

Just got off the phone with one of the riders (I won't say who or where they are, but I will say that the bike is an FJR ) This rider has been at it since the start of the rally with very little rest other than gas stops and McDonalds meals. Aside from that, the rider sounded in good spirits...

Looks like theres something interesting out by the Big Bend NP... I've been there at least 3 times and can't recall anything related to the current theme....hmmm

Saw this posted on facebook: For the next ten days, ibr.wvi.com will serve up the 2017 IBR Daily Reports.

I raise my hand on being the founder of the clueless club! lol It is also possible that leg 1 bonuses may not be available after the first check in...so who knows.

https://goo.gl/images/DNjPkT I'm sure the rider down in south texas paid a visit to this little gem

Correct me if I am wrong, but I understood that the riders were given all the bonus locations for legs 2 and 3 but not their point values. I am assuming that the point values for each of the leg 1 boni are known to the riders.

Look at the very first post on this thread. At the moment, the spot link is down due to a billing issue that is expected to be resolved soon.
