Good morning.
Yesterday route specific emails were sent to each registered rider from Mike Kneebone, President of the IBA.
Riders were also sent an email with a .PDF attachment of their ride form.
If you did not receive this email let me know.
There are some important changes and updates.
1) YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GET A WITNESS TO START YOUR RIDE. You do have to get a computer generated receipt preferably from a credit card transaction from your start city.
2) MESQUITE RIDERS now have a choice of getting a receipt from Pocatello, ID or taking a more advanced route with a receipt from Eugene, OR.
3) FINISH PROCEDURES Were distributed. We will be in the Occhro Room in the North Sisters building at the following times:
Wednesday Noon to 17:00hrs
Thursday 08:00 to 20:00
Friday 08:00 to 14:00
North Sisters is the same building that will house the Country Store. We have an exterior door that should be well marked.
IBA members and the curious are welcome to come by and say hello.
Premier and regluar IBA member will be receiving invitations to the Pizza Party. If you want to bring a guest please register them on line ASAP. Becase of our deadline to order food we will not be able to accomodate guest requests at the rally.
Riders, if you have any questions or did not receive the emails from Mike Kneebone please contact me at your earliest convenience.

I am also available for conversations too. Ping me for contact info.
Best,
Rob Nye

Well, maybe not right behind, about 500 miles back to be exact. I'm leaving Lethbridge Wednesday am, will grab a few zzz's in Miles City Wednesday afternoon / evening and then leave around Midnight.
Ride safe everyone, see you in Redmond

My first post! Just got off the fence and completed registration + payment by Paypal. I'll leave Maryland early next week and plan to finish the 1000 early Friday morning.
I appreciate all the good tips here. Looking forward to that pizza party! Whoo-hoo!

Redmond 1000 from Cheyenne
Hi riders. If you are leaving from Cheyenne, WY and need to stay overnight you might consider the Super 8 on Lincolnway. They have the lowest rates by far of any place near the Interstate. I stopped in yesterday to make my reservation for Tuesday the 13th.
The phone number is 307-635-8741. By way of disclaimer, I have no affiliation with Super 8.

Watch out for the late afternoon winds in WY. I came off the I-80 for gas at Rawlings and realized I could barely handle the bike about 5 pm today. I decided it was the better part if valour to check into a hotel and try to make up the time early tomorrow. People in cars were checking in because of the winds. The clerk said they were normal. Thunderstorm happening now--18:22.

Nice to see the picture of Nalu in Mesquite, Marty. Good luck on your 1000 mile run.
I'm out of here Tues. morn. See you in Redmond.

It is what it is.
Call me Iron Butt.
Left Cheyenne, WY at 4:30 AM local time this morning.
Here are the stats from my ride today:
1,065.9 miles.
Total Time 16:36
Speed limits of 75 MPH in Wyoming, UT and ID sure help eat up the miles.
Have all my gas receipts safely tucked away and can't wait to turn them in.
See you all Friday at the Pizza Party!
