Background:

Here's a way to have a "Hole" lot of fun at the same time.  Don't "fritter" around, and donut worry if it rains... hopefully it just "sprinkles".  Check out the requirements below, but donut just glaze over them!

This ride celebrates the riding community's love of coffee and Donut Shops, and requires you to enjoy a donut at each stop.  

Read the rules for the iconic SaddleSore 1000 on the Ironbutt Association site.  The rules for this ride are similar and you will get valuable background information.

Documentation:  See here.

Definitions

DBR - Dated Business Receipt

A DBR is a machine generated receipt with the date, time and LOCATION on it.  Check it - do not assume it is correct.  A receipt with an incorrect time/date/location is worthless.  Check and re-check.

Fees:  Regular fees apply

Rules

ALL rides must start and end at a permitted donut shop.

You must take a selfie at EACH permitted shop eating a donut.  Each selfie must be at least 150 miles from the previous selfie.  You will also need to obtain a DBR from each Donut Shop.

The donut rides have different levels of difficulty.

Donut Dash 1000 - Eat at 4 different permitted Donut Shops while riding 1000 miles in under 24 hours.

Donut Dash GOLD - Eat at 6 different permitted Donut Shops while riding 1000 miles in under 24 hours - AND - visit a city with "ring" in the name such as Springfield, Sebring, Ringgold etc. You MUST obtain a dbr from your chosen city.

THE RIDE

You will be taking photos at each stop eating, what else - donuts - and collect receipts with each meal

Your ride starts when you buy your first donut (so you are on the clock when you take your first picture).

Your ride ends at your last stop, AFTER you eat your final donut.

Permitted Donut Locations

Each permitted Donut location will have the word Donut in its name.  The shop must not be part of a chain (a chain is a group of stores with at least seven locations).

**We recognize that few, if any Donut shops are open 24/7.  We will permit two WILDCARDS to be used in place of the permitted locations mentioned above.  To use the wildcard, obtain a dbr and take a selfie eating a donut from a nationally branded chain or a local/regional chain that might not have "donut" in its name, like Tim Hortons, Krispy Kream, Dunkin' Donuts, Coffee Time, Country Style, Shipley, Voodoo, Daylight Donuts, etc...

Each donut shop must be at least 150 miles apart.

You may take any route you like.

Your official time is determined by the starting and ending receipts.  PLEASE check these documents and make sure the clock and date are correct!

Spotwalla.com is strongly recommended but not required. 

Remember it is YOUR responsibility to prove you visited all  required stops.  Spotwalla goes a long way towards this proof.
