Hey Everyone: Newbie Question,
I plan on attempting my first Iron Butt ride in a couple of weeks, from L. A. to east Texas to see the eclipse on 4/8. It's 1500+ miles one-way, so I have to travel the whole distance to get to my destination anyway, Iron Butt or no Iron Butt.
I read that I can only qualify for a 1000/24hr. certification on my first submission.
Assuming I correctly document everything, including the first 1000/24 hr. segment of my trip, will I only be eligible for the SS 1000 certification, as seems the case, or will I be able to claim the BB1500/Silver/Gold ride as well?
The plain language suggests no, but wondering if documenting the 1000 on my way would make a difference. Since I have to travel 1500 mi. anyway, it seems a shame to not be able to get both.
Replies appreciated,
Jeff
