No Word on Application for Saddlesore 1000

[CrockettRocket]

Hey there!

I submitted my application for my Saddlesore 1000 in September 2023, and have yet to hear back on the status of my application. I’ve reached out to Michael Kneebone, submitted questions to the IBA contact form on the website, and have emailed multiple IBa addresses.

I’d just like to know whether my application was rejected. No hard feelings, would just love to know what mistakes I made.

Thank you in advance for the help!

How did you submit your application? Electronically or by mail? If electronically, what email address did you use and did you get an auto response that it was received?

 

[Beard Fitness]

May be that's because of too much applications. Your application may be missed by them.

Send a PM to Howard Entman. He should be able to track it down.

I sent in my application on April 19th. I have sent a few emails and have not heard anything back at all. Do you guys let us know if it wasn’t approved? How long does it take?

@James B. - Typically it takes 12-16 weeks and can run into 6 months. There are a lot of rides being submitted now that the weather has gotten better. No need to worry about it. If there is an issue, they will contact you. No issues, no email, you're good so far.

But what if it takes more than 6 months? Me and my friends, we sent our applications in October 2023. We got the message - ride application has been received and is in the queue for processing. But nothing has happened so far.

Poland might take a bit longer.

There are fewer verification teams for cert rides outside the US. Maybe only one. It often takes quite a while. You can try PMing Howard Entman from this forum, but I don't know if he has access to those.

Sounds good. Thank You for information. We've almost lost hope. You know, cold beer for celebration prepared, place on the vest for pin/patch prepared and only there is no certificate. What a nightmare!
Take care.
