2015 Iron Butt Rally

[BIODSL]

I want to see how Mr Bray has adapted the feejer to hold his sleeping pad! I was quite jealous of the perfect fit on top of the flat GS sidecases and thought of that while sleeping on the pavement last year!

Aerostich has lots of options for wearing your sleeping pad

I hope to see you folks at the finish. Planning a little trip in which day 8 puts me in Albuq. for the finish and a visit with one of my sons stationed there.

should I put my beer order in now or call on day 7?

 

[TripperMike]

Do you want it before or after scoring DaJuice?

Give it to him before....... I will take mine after

 

[101stpathfinder]

Oh snap! Mike can I get in on this pre-ordering, or is this only available to Team Strange riders?

I tell you this... In '13 I was so concerned with points and getting a finisher status for that 3 digit, that I forgot to have fun.

I think this year will be a reversal- I will have fun, but fail at getting the points. No worries though as my wife and sister will be waiting for me at the finish to share the moments! A totally different feeling than '13 (!)

Beer order was placed this morning and will be on ice at the finish.

I would like to follow the IBR this year. What is the best site(s) to follow along with rider progress?

Thanks in advance.

This one!!! Look for a new thread in this area soon I'm sure.

The official IBA page for the 2015 rally is here:

https://ironbuttrally.com/IBR/2015.cfm

They will post all the official daily reports there, you can get the rally packets used after the leg is complete and you'll be able to see the spot tracker links.

Where does one find information about the rally- like where and when it starts and finishes, and where the checkpoints are ? I have been on the IBR website, and if it is on there, it is well hidden.

I don't know that it is published on any specific page, but here is the answer to your question:

The rally is divided into three legs:

- The first leg starts in Albuquerque at 10 am on June 29th, and finishes in Albuquerque the evening of July 2nd.
- The second leg starts in Albuquerque the morning of July 3rd, and finishes in Kingsport, TN the evening of July 5th.
- The third and final leg starts in Kingsport, TN the morning of July 6th and finishes back in Albuquerque the morning of July 10th.

All Albuquerque locations are at the Sheraton Albuquerque Uptown
Kingsport, TN location is at the MeadowView Conference Resort & Convention Center

Well I haven't been around much since the '13 IBR, work and family and all that, but rest assured I am watching and wishing all my fellow FJR and Team Strange riders the best of luck. Ride hard, ride fast, ride smart, ride SAFE.

Thanks for the info- I was hoping to catch one of the starts somewhere but it will not fit with my work schedule. Guess I'll just have to follow it on the internet this year . . .

Too bad- Kingsport TN would have been a nice ride.

 

[Uncle Hud]

Thanks for the info, RFlagg42. I'll be riding to Kingsport to get an eyeful.

Good luck to all IBR entrants; better luck to all FJR riders; but best of luck to FJR Forum members.

Good to "Hear" from you Tim !

I'll be at the Tennessee checkpoint if anyone needs something.

How about a Relief Rider ?

 

[Canadian FJR]

One of these years there has to be a Honda CBX 1000.

I believe that the legendary Ross Copas rode one way back when.

Had one of those. Would love to have another one some day.

But it would a crime to frankenstien it to run the IBR.

Would be interesting though.
