Background:

This is a special ride dedicated to a special man in your life.

We honor the institution of “Fatherhood”.

Where would we be without Fathers?

Dad, Daddy, Pops, Father dear - it doesn't matter what we call him - he's our special man.  Whether he's our own Father, or the Father of our grandchild, or the Father of a friend - he's special. 

We will issue a unique certificate for this ride.  Two certificates will be issued - give one to your special man.

We will include a personalized dedication to each certificate.  Just include your message - 15 words or less - when you submit your ride application.

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.
