And there off IBR has begun

It was raining this morning here in St. Louis for the IBR start.

This is Tom Melchild Rallybastard of the Cal-24

I think this is Skooter but not positive they were hurrying out at this point

Can someone post up a link to the satellite tracking of the IBA riders? I followed the last IBR via this method (but can't find it) and it was highly interesting.

TIA.

Check Iggy's blog here;

He gives you links for two ways to track them. So far it looks like it's working. They are just east of Terre Haute, IN right now.

I've got pics of the start and the first bonus location, which was a riot to watch!

I'll get them up as soon as I can.

Hers a few more pics of the start.

This is Smitty in Yellow shirt and Lisa Stevens in Red

Dean Tanji (yes the fuel cell guy) videotapping the start.

All lined up waiting for Warchild to relaese them.

Looking at all the bikes lined up on both sides of the lot I was just wondering if anyone has considered a motorcross style start for the IBR? Would be much more exciting.... :blink:

Just kidding. Good to see everyone made it off OK.

The rain, I am guessing, was probably a blessing. The riders didn't have to stop 10 minutes down the road to put the rain gear on saving precious time and I would think it dropped the temps a little bit.

Last week in St. Louis it was over 100 deg. most of the week. This rain did cool things off abit so it is at least bearable
