The Lake Michigan 1000 application may be reproduced and distributed as needed for personal or club use.
The rules are identical to those of a SaddleSore 1000, except you must document your ride around the perimeter of Lake Michigan AND you must start and finish in the same city you started from (this must be a complete circle of the lake!)...
The SaddleSore 1000 rules are located at http://www.ironbutt.com/rides/ss1000.htm If you have any questions about this ride, you may write to the Iron Butt Association at P.O. Box 9450, Naperville, IL 60567-9450 USA or send e-mail to kneebone@ironbutt.com.

Sample wording of a Lake Michigan 1000 Certificate (please keep this format
in mind as you answer the following questions):
This is to Certify that on September 7, 2002, Dan Hoag rode a BMW R1100RSE
a total of 1,099 grueling miles in less than twenty-four hours during a
Circle Tour around Lake Michigan starting in Windsor, Wisconsin continuing
on to Chicago, Illinois and Grand Rapids, Michigan before returning to Windsor
while participating in the SaddleSore 1000.
Name of start AND end city: ______________________________________
Note: for the **certificate** you may substitute a large city nearby
if you want); for example, if you start in DesPlaines, Illinois,
(a suburb of Chicago), it is acceptable to put Chicago as the starting
point for the certificate.
Your certificate will highlight up to two cities as midpoints.
Please list UP TO TWO cities that helps highlight your route for your
certificate:
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
Note: Some of these cities may be listed on your certificate and the
same rules apply to these cities as noted above. For example, we
might want to say, Jerry Jones started in New York, New York continued
onto Daytona Beach, Florida before ending her ride in Little Rock,
Arkansas.
Please note that this is only an attempt to make your certificate more
readable - do not stop 60 miles short of Los Angeles and expect us
to create a certificate that reads Los Angeles. This is to make the
certificates more readable so that when you display them, your riding
friends will better grasp the immense ride you took.
