Emphasis added by meAnother armchair non-veteran here, about to comment on a possible strategy for the folks that went all out over New England (like 130). After reading up on all the previous IBR bonus options that were offered through the years, it does seem to make some weird kind of sense to get as many extra states on leg 1 as possible, even if you don't get any points for them now. What it does do though is possibly opening the door to take advantage of some huge mileage monster bonus coming up in leg 2 or 3, which might simply be impossible if you still need all of these NE states.
This is great and nail biting coverage, thanks for all the good comments, and especially to Jeff E., Dale and other REAL IBR vets. You rock!
EDIT: Just read page 7 on the IBR site IBR Page 7, and it looks like the strategy for New England in the first leg is to enable Key West in the second leg; after this "official" comment I expect to see huge points for Key West for leg 2.
Wendy Update:
Iron Maiden's ophthalmologist should be calling Wendy shortly. :yahoo:
If I remember correctly Dale (Warchild) is exNavy; 'nuff said, right?Where do you get these 'Warchildisms?'

One page back in this thread: https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=138716&view=findpost&p=872046Aw crap... I missed it somehow... what happened??LL just posted on LDRider that Wendy is at Urgent Care to have her eye looked after.
Tyler, it was one more page back from Pats link above.IBR Rider Wendy Crockett needs help:
Wendy was hit in the eye last night by a bug or other foreign object and her eye ball has swollen substantially. She has not lost vision but the swelling has made it difficult for her lower lid to close over the eye. She has tried some eye drops that have helped reduce swelling in the past in addition to a short nap, but that has not fixed the problem. She is still riding in a minor amount of pain but has decided to bee line to the checkpoint for safety sake. If you are an optometrist or are friends with an optometrist who understands the nuance of rallying and Wendy's unwillingness to stop her rally to "go to the doctors office" I beg you to please contact her directly via her cell at 559-788-8562. Please, eye care professionals only. She is looking for advise that can keep her on the road. Thanks you for your help and support.

*IF* he can maintain BBG pace to the checkpoint, he'll be about 1 hour into the penalty window.I wonder if 184 still has his watch set on California time?
Now how about 372 who is now behind him on the same route.*IF* he can maintain BBG pace to the checkpoint, he'll be about 1 hour into the penalty window.I wonder if 184 still has his watch set on California time?
Tough to say because that is a "custom" SPOT message and may not be representative of his or her current position.Now how about 372 who is now behind him on the same route.*IF* he can maintain BBG pace to the checkpoint, he'll be about 1 hour into the penalty window.I wonder if 184 still has his watch set on California time?
