The ride protocols described in the Rider Guidance document and the Ride Documentation pack must be strictly applied.
The Super 8 SaddleSore is a pre-verified SaddleSore 1000 ride. You need to read and understand the regular SaddleSore 1000 rules and guidance.
The pre-verified route consists of a northern loop (stops 1,2,3) and a southern loop (stops 1,4,5), each verified at over 500 miles. To complete the ride, you must ride and document two loops within 24 hours. That could be both, or either one twice, riding clockwise or anticlockwise.
The basic rules are the same as for other IBA UK rides:
1. Ride the designated distance in the designated time (see below) on a safe route of your choice.
2. IBA UK requires that you document your ride with photographs. The photo must show BOTH the receipt AND your bike's odometer (mileage) reading IN THE SAME PHOTO. Receipts and odo readings must be legible. Record the Start and End details on Ride Documentation 2 and Ride Documentation 3 respectively.
3. Collect fuel and other receipts along your route and photograph each against your odometer. Track them, along with rest stops over 30 minutes, on Ride Documentation 4.
4. Complete all the remaining documentation in the Ride Documentation pack.
5. Copy all completed documentation and receipts and submit the copies, with your name on every sheet.
