I am planning on a Oregon In state Saddle-Sore 1000 July 22, 2008. Start and Stop is Winston, Oregon. (Before the NWCOG Regional) The route is all State and US highways NO INTERSTATES! Winston/Coos Bay/Newport/Prineville/Vail/Burns/Bend/ Diamond Lake Jct/Winston. 1030 miles. No leg longer than 200 miles before a stop. Most shorter than that. Anyone interested in joining us and making the attempt to get a ride certified as an Iron Butt event please email me off the forum. Here is a link to the IBA for further information on what is suggested you do to prepare for this activity. http://www.ironbutt.com/tech/aowprintout.cfm And their main website www.ironbutt.com Also I have been assured by the IBA (Iron Butt Association) the certification process is timely and better organized than ever. So let me know! AKA "2linby" That's 2-lin-by folks! Northwest Area Director COG #5539 AMA #927779 IBA #15034 Team Oregon MC Instructor
