  I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!
  
  If you haven't read the IBR reports from previous years, then enjoy some of the mighty fine writing that honors those that set the pace.
  
  I wish all the Riders the best of safety, that they may all ride home in the end.

  They were having problems long before the IBR coverage. The extra influx just made it worse.

• Awesome.
  Thanks for the links guys.
  
  I wish a network would do a show about this event. Hell, a local news station should could do a segment, any type of coverage about this event.
  
  IMO it's the two wheel version of the Boston Marathon.

  Yeah then it will be ruined forever as they make back stories of each rider, build all these "human interest" stories and every asshat in the planet vies for their 15 minutes of fame, with sudden celebrities taking an interest in the IBA since you know like Cameron Diaz has always been a long distance rider.....Nah let's keep the purity of this event amongst those that appreciate it as it is, keep the news and media out please.

  Sad as that is, I think I have to agree. I do wish they would still do the DVD's like they did in '07 and '09 (?). It is difficult to produce without an army of filming crews, but I enjoyed them.
