​2016 Iron Butt California In-State SaddleSore1000 – 2up
Mic’s FB documentation of her first Iron Butt ride.
 
The Rules
Your ride needs to be completely documented (steps outlined below) and cover a minimum distance of 1,000 miles in 24 hours or less. In order to keep these rides from becoming a race, mileages in excess of 1,800 miles in less than 24 hours will not be published.
Please keep in mind, 24 hours is wall time, not riding time. So if you start your ride at 5:00 pm on June 1st, you must finish it before 5 pm on June 2nd.
 
The Ride
I’m going to be (sitting behind Steve who is) doing a California In-State SaddleSore 1000.

​Thanks to Steve Diederich for letting me tag along on his California In-State SaddleSore 1000. It was great fun and, I dare say, easy – under the skilled direction of Mr. Diederich. Below… my official certificate.
