The time is near!
The Annual IBA Australia Memorial Rides are on again.
The memorial rides are held all around the world every year, to honour past members and fallen riders.
In Australia we hold them in September to align with the anniversary of the passing of David “Davo’ Jones, founding member of FarRiders, FarRider #1, and IBA member #22575.
This year will mark the 7th Anniversary of Davo's passing.
Your memorial ride (of IBA length) can be in one of two forms:
1. Complete an SS1600 or greater on the route of your choice, on or around the weekend of the 10th-11th of September (within a week either side of these dates).
2. Complete an SS1600 or greater, finishing at, or near, or on the way to Wilmington SA, on or around the 9th – 11th September, and participate in the Memorial Service at the site of the Memorial Plaque, Horrocks Pass Rd, Winninowie SA, on Saturday 10th Sept at 2.00pm.
(Details for the gathering and group ride for this one will be posted in due course).
For either of the attempts at an IBA Memorial Ride, with a dedicated IBA Certificate to be issued, you must register here:

Anyone wishing to get along to Wilmington to honour Davo and other riders, but cannot complete an IBA ride, are very welcome to join us on Saturday the 10th of September for the day or for the weekend at Wilmington. We would be proud to have you come along.
All official IBA rides must be a minimum of 1,610 kms in 24 hours – SS1600.
All IBA level rides will be certified by Howard Entman of the IBA, as a specific “SS.... Memorial Ride 2016"
In the wording of your certificate, you will have the option of paying tribute to Davo, or to anyone you wish to name on your dedication.
