Since White Pine Fever and WFO (and even before), there seems to be a significant amount of growing interest in LD Riding and the Iron Butt Association among FJR forum members. I mentioned this to IBR RallyMistriss Lisa Landry, and she suggested I make the following post:
As most all IBA members know, the IBA is holding their 2nd "IBA National Meet" in Denver this year. There are indeed a select few positions still open that Lisa said I could offer to forum members here. So if there are any folks are interested in attending this event and finding out what all this Log Distance craziness is really all about, then you should register ASAP, as the event is Aug 17-19.

Now, technically, you are supposed to be an IBA member, or their invited guest. If you do not have your IBA membership, you can still attend one of two ways:
1) Get an IBA member to sponsor you. Myself and a ton of others on the forum can sponsor you... but only one guest per sponsor.
2) Earn your membership by doing a SaddleSore 1000 on the way to the event! There will be many dozens of IBA members who will be available to "sign you in" when you arrive at the end of your SaddleSore.
So there it is, folks! This is a social gathering (not a pure Endurance event), so you can come and relax, attend the multiple seminars, and kick tires and rub elbows with some true legends in the Endurance Riding community. There is also a MASSIVE Group Ride that is lead by none other that Mike Kneebone, and '99 IBR Winner George Barnes that you may be interested in as well.
Check that link above... hope to see you in Denver!
