New website looks good - didn't realise entry was now live - just signed up
http://www.rblr1000.co.uk/
Just a couple of minor points - the entry form says "RBRL1000 2017 Entry Fee" in the top right corner and if you click on Route A - although the info is correct the title page is wrong (it says Route B)

On the routes page https://rblr1000.co.uk/routesmain.html when you click on the map for Route A - North Clockwise the tile of the page it brings up is Route B - North Clockwise.
Can these routes be used before/after as certified routes for a normal SS100?

Thanks. It's being sorted
Fast approaching 20 entries. All entries have been sent some flyers and stickers to spread around. If you need more flyers email me [email protected]
You can ride a Saddlesore any route you choose just read thevrode rules for the requirements which are different from the RBLR1000 which is preverified. You will need start and end receipts but make sure that your route is 1000 + miles
All signed up and paid...North Clockwise

Done north routes only, thought of going south with traffic etc always put me off. Any thoughts on Southern Routes ?

Done all the routes, North seem better but South were OK as well. Plus did a BBG1500 one year just for a change. That was nice!!!!
Good luck and great choice of bike - the fundraising is far easier and much more successful if you choose the 'wrong' bike ! I'm on a 125 (or maybe 110) cc scooter this year !
Hi Jonnyp,
Of course you can change your BBG to a BB just need the correct paperwork; the IBA people will not wait 12 hours for you to return so you may need to find other witnesses but depending on your start time there may still be people around after 36 hours.
Yes you can do a SS1000 if you decide not to go for the BBG, again just get the paperwork right.
Another point is all the certificates are prepared as to your instructions so you won't get the instant gratification of a certificate after the event should you change your ride.
The RBLR1000 is set up to take all the hassle out of completing an IBA certified ride to make sure you have the best possible chance of achieving your goal but the really good thing about most certified IBA rides is you can do it when and where you want but doing it outside the umbrella of the RBLR1000 you will have to make sure you nail down the paperwork or you won't get a certificate. IBA is very pedantic about checking you did what you said you did.

Thanks Dave.
I’ve done the northern route both ways and just want to push it a bit further, but don’t fancy putting myself in the position where I push it too far. If I know there is a fall back, I won’t be leaving empty handed either.
However, I am signing up for the full 1500 BBG and will do my upmost so Phil does not have to sign too many certificates ....

Hello Rick. Yes a finishers certificate just not a SS1000. The list did get sent to Phil who was away in America at the time. Email him and I'm sure he'll be able to post one out to you.
I've created a bail-out route so if there's bad traffic or a rider is fatigued they can still return to Squires and get a SS1000. I'll email this out to the few riders that sign up for this extreme ride.

The new southern routes have far less motorway miles in them than the original ones did. If you're considering either of these download both routes into your mapping programme and experiment with timings. Personally I'd go clockwise so I can get down and around London earlier then look forward to a quiet evening ride up the Welsh coast as the sun is going down.
