NTYK- 20818 Yellowknife statue. Big points but none of the top finishers did it.

As is likely seen my overabundance of posts, I love this stuff. I hope to someday compete in one, however remote the possibilities may be. Armchair rallies are more my style, a lot more air conditioning involved that way.

It looks like some guys are already at the checkpoint. I bet a hot shower and a cold Heineken are both amazing after 10 days on a bike.

There is always more going on than we know but so far, the scored bingo locations have been I1- Sonic, O5- Taco John's, etc. The corn you cite is MNOL as listed in the 2nd leg bonus listing. That doesn't mean it can't factor in as some sort of multiplier. This is what drives me bananas. We...

Welcome. I too am in Colorado, possibly the best state for riding.

While I too lament the lack of enthusiasm about this event, it doesn't surprise me. When most people, riders and civilians, hear the word "rally", they think of Sturgis or other gatherings that use that name. A rally to them is a destination, not an competition. If you explain to them what a...

That says it all about the Iron Butt Rally. Guys in Nova Scotia, Key West, Seattle and San Diego. Plus a couple nuts way up north. Can't wait to see the leg 3 tracking animation. And I was wrong about Chicken, AK. being a bonus.

One guy looks headed straight north. There is a Fatburger in Yellowknife...

Of course, Pie Town New Mexico was a bonus, 3257 points. The big one looks like the Santa Monica pier at 16431 points.

It's about 8:30 and it looks like they be leaving already? How do the checkpoints work? When do they hand out the next leg's bonus list?

Looks like good weather here in Colorado for the day- 80's and dry. Last week we had golf ball sized hail and a tornado touched down a couple miles west of the rally hotel.

8:22 Pacific time Got an email via LDRider Rider emergency. I'm on the shoulder of I10 east at the La Brea Ave exit with a cut in my tire on a truimph trophy and can't move. If anyone can assist with either a trophy wheel I can borrow or even a 190/55 17 tire please call me asap at...

Pinks? And in the future, you may want to define LA. Is it Los Angeles or Louisiana? This is the IBR- it could be either.

Are they specific restaurants? Or do you need to purchase a particular item? There are White Castles in many states so why did they all seem to go to that one you mention? There is this hint- Kerri Miller, like many other riders, experienced the fullness of Southern hospitality at several of...

Pure speculation by me- It looks they are mostly fast food. Some local (Pal's Sudden Service, N3), some national (Waffle House, N2, Taco Johns, O5). To win Bingo, you need to fill a row, column or diagonal. I doubt it's that simple. I wonder if it needs to be food types like biscuits, tacos...

https://ironbutt.com/ibr2023/Leg1_Standings.html Looking at the scorecards, all the top 10 guys went to Bar Harbor for a tasty 7002 points at Stewman's Lobster Pound. And the top two got the full 8 hour rest bonus.

Not necessarily. If there are other points that could be added to the bingo card or the "menu", it may be worth it. Or seem worthy, and then seriously demolish one's hopes, aka Sucker. To a normal rider* this is a fun ride. To someone hoping to win, it has to be a stomach churning endeavor...

Just watched the Youtube live feed. I am envious of the riders. What a fun adventure, today. We'll see how much fun it was in11 days.

Wow! Third leg is six days long. Denver to Chicken, AK. is 3000 miles. Then to Pittsburgh is 6700 total. And there is a chicken on the poster...
