[QUOTE="jwhite518, post: 1155092, member: 5483"] Maybe. Keep in mind, this is posted in the Iron Butt area of the forum. The folks who hang out here have definitely had their riding changed by earning that IBA cert. I am not the same, in many many ways, including riding habits. Iron Butt changed me for sure. The vast majority of people with IBA numbers do their Saddlesore 1000 and they're done. They did "an Iron Butt" and that's all they needed to do. Was their riding changed forever? Probably not. Hollywoodgt might be one of those people, and there's nothing wrong with that. Back to the original question, I like planning rides and so usually I have a destination in mind. Most of the time I have a specific route. I don't bother with certificate documentation any more, so IBA guidelines aren't in the equation. And yeah, I like to plan long days. But that's just me, I'm pretty sure there are some hardcore IB types who are much less structured. They go where the handlebars take them. I don't think there's a rule of thumb. [/QUOTE]
