Background / Rules

• This ride must be done in partnership with another rider.
• You must both successfully complete a SS1600K, certified ride.
• The two riders (an initiator and a receiver) will meet at a place and time which is part way through both of their rides, no closer than 200km to the start or end of either rider's ride.
• The initiator must print a copy of the 'Iron Butt Association's FIVE Bucks' (Not a real bank note!) Available here. They must write their IBA member number on the FRONT of the note, in the white area to the left hand side using PEN, it must be large and clear enough for it to be readable when photographed.
• On the back of the Buck, the initator should also write their IBA number and the start-date of the ride. Take a photo of both the front and the back of the Buck, and remember to submit these with your ride application.
• The initiator must incorporate both their start receipt AND the printed FIVE Bucks into their start ODO photo.
• When the two riders meet up, a selfie of both riders and the banknote must be taken and ideally logged on BOTH SpotWalla tracks.
• The receiver must incorporate both their end receipt AND the printed FIVE Bucks into their end ODO photo.
• Ideally BOTH riders will use SpotWalla to ease verification of your rides please.
• Only if BOTH riders complete all of the requirements will Pass The Buck SS1600K certificates be offered, so choose your riding partner carefully.
• If a Pass the Buck certificate cannot be awarded, then a standard SS1600K may still be available.

Further reuse of the Buck:

• The receiver can reuse the Buck on one of their future rides, either with the same riding partner or someone else.
• If they reuse the Buck, they should leave the original rider number on the front of the buck, and add their own Member number and the date of the start of their ride to the back of the Buck. - This will act as a log of who has initiated the rides and record who's hands the buck has been through.
• We recommend keeping the Buck safe and dry in it's own sandwich bag (or similar).
• If we get a Buck note which is used for 5 or more rides then we'll make an effort to feature this, either with a special FaceBook post, or with an Award certificate for those involved.
