SaddleSore 2000 Application may be reproduced and distributed as needed for personal or club use.
The SaddleSore 2000 Rules
The rules are identical to those of a SaddleSore 1000, except the mileage requirement is at least 2,000 miles in 48 hours.
You may elect to ride more miles in either time period, so long as the total of the 48 hours is greater then 2,000 miles. So if your personal rythme means you would rather ride 1,050 miles on day one and then take an extended motel stop, well into the second bank of hours, you would have to complete the remaining 950 miles by the end of 48 hours.
You have several options to bail out on this ride. The documents needed are the same as a SaddleSore 1000 and Bun Burner 1500, so if you cannot complete the 2000, you may still have made the 1,500 in 36 hours or 1,000 in 24 hour rides.
If you have any questions about this ride, you may write to the Iron Butt Butt Association, P.O. Box 9450, Naperville, IL 60567-9450 or send e-mail to kneebone@ironbutt.com.

Sample wording of a SaddleSore Certificate (please keep this format
in mind as you answer the following questions):
This is to Certify that on May 15, 2001, John J. Rider rode a BMW K1200LT
a total of 2,130 grueling miles in less than forty-eight hours starting in
Chicago, Illinois continuing onto Omaha, Nebraska and Salt Lake City,
Utah before ending in San Francisco, California while participating in the
SaddleSore 2000.
Name of start 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.
Name of end city ________________________
Note: Same rules apply to these cities as noted above.
Your certificate will highlight up to three cities as midpoints.
Please list UP TO THREE 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.
