Can I ask... is the 1500 route a BBG only. I.e if you miss the 24hr mark but get back within 36, would it be a std BB ?
And is there a fall back that if, you return to Squires with in 24hrs and have covered over 1000 miles you still get an SS1000 cert?....
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.
