I did a 1000 mile saddle sore from Rochester, MN to Denver back in 2007.

 

How many participated in the ride? Do you have any idea how successful the fundraiser was? That's a great thing to do. Congratulations!

 

That's only 880 miles, did you take the long way around or Rochester to Denver back to Rochester??
I did it from Denver (actually Henderson) to Chicago, but still had to do a couple loops around Rockford to accumulate the 1000 miles.

Congrats on yours.

 

Yeah, to get over 1000 (ended up being 1035), I rode the following:

Rochester, MN
to Sioux Falls, SD
to Omaha, NE
to Cheyenne, WY
to Denver, CO (west side)

 

G'day mates.

Hat's off to all you IBAers!!! Whooooo hoooooo...........................

My IBA number is below.

I have a cool IBA story if anyone is interested in hear (reading) about it. It is a bit long so I do not want to type it up if there is no interest.

Sign me up.

 

If not on the IBA thread then where?

Type it up!

Thus far I have completed 3 Saddle Sore 1,000's.

The first one was by far the most brutal, it lasted 19 hours and crossed 6 state lines (Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa). Temperatures ranged from 35 to 60 degrees. I learned a lot on that ride about covering long distances as quickly as possible. In comparison my third SS1000 took 15.5 hours and went off without a hitch.

I have plans for more IBA certified rides for 2017, just something about endurance riding that I found I really like.

 

I'm interested in reading ALL attempts. Bring it on. And don't leave out any of the juicy parts.
