Witness questions

#1
1) I'm planning on a SS1000 / BB1500 in 2 weeks, Utah to Indiana. I have a witness lined up in Utah and Indiana. If I complete the SS1000, but I don't complete the BB1500 in time but I do arrive in Indiana, will that be sufficient for the SS1000 ride?

2) Next year I'm planning a Florida to Alaska ride, either Ultimate Coast to Coast and/or USA South - West Challenge. If I have an IBA member sign a witness statement in Miami, ride to Key West for the night, and get the 1st receipt in the morning, is that sufficient for the starting witness statement?

1) As long as you document the end of your SS1K with a receipt showing date, time, and location. You can wait to have your end witness sign off.

2) Yes. You can obtain your start witness signature the afternoon/evening before your start. Similarly, if you complete your ride in the middle of the night, you can wait until the morning to obtain your end witness signature.
