This went out by email last night to current, past and considering riders of the SBR/JBR. Anyone looking to enter or needing a partner please stay tuned to the forum, FB and your emails. There is an extremely, and I mean extremely, strong field building for both of these events. Once the data can be sorted out and a few team names start to emerge, we'll post the field and you'll see what I mean. I may have to rethink the Finisher point level based on the rider talent level.
SBR/JBR Update – 4 Months to go…
(You are receiving this email because you are either signed up for the Senior Butt Rally or Junior Butt Rally or are a past participant or inquired about the rallies in the past. Future emails will only be sent to riders signed up for the 2022 events. Some informational posts for those interested will be available on Facebook or the Iron Butt Association Forum. )
On September 16th, a short four months from now, the riders in the SBR/JBR who have assembled in Allen, TX will be sitting down to a no-host dinner. The next night, Saturday the 17th, they will receive their marching orders at the Start Banquet. Sunday morning the 18th the six day team ride begins. Those who can manage the rigors of weather, time, mechanics, and miles and miles of road time will return the following Friday to a hero’s welcome. One team in each rally will take home the winner’s prize.
The previous two rally events have garnered 15 teams in 2019 and 18 in 2021. The 2022 rallies have a combined 18 teams already in just a few weeks of sign-ups. It looks like we will have a record turn out this year. The field is without a doubt the strongest yet for both rallies. Expect some epic battles coming down to the Finish.
Part of the excitement this year is the expanded offerings of the 2022 Big As Texas Party and Ride-a-Palooza. The weeklong event which is kicked off by the SBR/JBR also includes the Ride Around Texas (RAT) and RAT Rewind rides, a BAT SS1000 and BBG ride, plus ride-in certificates for those who wish to ride a 1,000 miles or more to the event, and more fun than should be allowed.

And for those of you entering the SBR/JBR one final note.
Please do not shave your heads yet. I have not decided how many points that will be worth.
