IronButt SaddleSore 1000 complete!!
Yup..I did it! Tomahawk, WI to Winston-Salem, NC. The GPS tallied 1052 miles and the odometer said a tick over 1100. I encountered cold weather in the north and battled light rain on 5 separate occassions. The bike did great.... and 'honestly,' my butt doesn't feel too bad. Stock seat on my '06 UC.

RanD, sounds awsome to me. Would love to just get out and ride like that. But the wife would want to come, and she had trouble just taking a 400 miles trip last summer. And that was 200 there, a two night stay at a casino, and then 200 back. She is such a wussy. lol Good thing she is at work. lol

As long as you document the stop, it is acceptable.
The ride is 1000 miles in 24 Hours and as long as you account for the time with adequate documentation the IBA will certify the ride. The key is the documentation.

I never read anything that indicated you could not stop for more than 30 minutes. In fact, quite the contrary. Not only do they encourage you to rest if needed, but they suggest getting a room for a couple of hours if you become fatigued. My reason for the stop was weather related however. I was originally planning on leaving at 1am Thursday morning, but when I saw that we were forecasted to get frost I decided it best to ride Wednesday night until I got to warmer temps. As it was, when I left Mendota, IL at 3am Thursday morning, it was still pretty cold. Sure like my heated hand grips!
