Background:

What’s the best way to show your true love how much you care?

Diamonds?
--Nah, too expensive.

Chocolates?
--Nope, too fattening.

Flowers?
--No way, bad for allergies.

Besides, all of these are too commercial and materialistic.

The one true gift, one that comes from your heart, soul, and backside, is a dedicated Iron Butt ride.

So plan to ride any Saddlesore or Bun Burner ride on Valentine’s Day, February 14, and you’ll receive two special Valentine certificates, one of which you can belatedly present to your true love.

You can plan any route you wish, but you must be riding some time during February 14.  That means you can start on February 13 and finish on February 14; or start on February 14 and finish on February 15.

For the Gold Ride:

You must visit any city with 'love', 'diamond',  'rose' or 'valentine' in the city name.  Get a DBR with that city name.

Submit your ride application through the normal channels.
