I actually found the paperwork to be the most difficult part.  It also made me stop more than I needed to to be able to properly document the route.


I can't see how.... The route should be planned and made simple long before you turn the key to the on postion.  Someone to sign to start or a gas receipt , gas receipt when you stop for gas and someone to sign at the end or another gas receipt.   easy peasy :)

Not when your route isn't a straight line.

 That route was not a straight line for me. All was done in Ontario. Started in London with gas receipt (that started the clock) Next stop was just outside Toronto (gas receipt)  Turn left and head to North Bay (gas receipt)  Right turn in North Bay and head to just passed Ottawa (gas receipt). Turn right and head due south until the 401.  Right turn and take the 401 right back to London. Gas receipt stopped the clock.

Of course to make it really easy these guys/gals run  different Iron Butt rides around. The only one I see so far this year is the 50CC OR 100CCC

It's still early in the planning stages for the MTF 2014 rides.  There will be plenty more options, like the Moonshine SS1000 or the Denver IBA ride in.

You could also come out and play with us :)

P.S. - let me know if you're coming to the Denver meet, I'll buy you a beer or 6.  :thumbsup:

Not me.  Short leash this year with at least one more semester of college.  I'll be out your way in September, but it'll be to start the two week dirt bike tour in Rawlins, WY.  Everything else for 2014 will be "local" riding.

I haven't done one in a couple years, so it's probably time.

I bet the last time was when you loaned me your truck when my bike was sitting at a dealer in Grand Rapids waiting for parts.

Do ALL your stories involve other men and trucks?  ;D

A couple of us are doing a few of them this year, just to get used to LD riding again.
