Brit Butt Tour 2017

[FazerPhil]

This is your chance to have an excuse to ride somewhere.
For the entry fee of £20 you will be sent electronically the 2016 Brit Butt Rally book and bonus locations. During 2017 you visit as many or as few bonuses as you can. Every entrant will get a certificate recording how many locations they have visited.

Full details can be found on the Iron Butt Association UK website
http://www.ironbutt.co.uk/bbtour.php

If you are are going to try any of our rallies for the first time this is a good way to practice routing and timings

In 2016 we gave £150 to BBC One shows Rickshaw challenge.John Cox has visited every bonus for the 1st 3 years of the BBT so chose the charity. He said" They are inspirational kids, on wheels riding long distances, much like iron butt riders"

A few more done this Sunday the 15th, to go with the 13 around Wales last Sunday

Nice photos Martex I've got similar ones from the actual rally last year and 3 out of the 6 were taken in the dark late on the Saturday night. In fact I had a job to even see that castle, but luckily I still got credited with the points. I always wondered what they'd look like in day light

Such is the places we get to visit at such strange times during the rally weekend. You ought to give it a go as it's a great experience.

Looking at all your rally kit at the AGM, I think I need to do some serious prep
before having a go. I am clueless with Basecamp. If someone could magic up a
route for me, I would be up and away!
PS I least at night, you couldn't see all the grass and muck in the lanes!

 

[Coxy]

Well that's a start
Number 6 North Bar Beverley
Just 6 Miles from home
