Iron Butt Rally - Part 2
Thursday, August 23, 2007 at 10:03AM Iron Butt Rally: Rob Nye is out there somewhere...
Right now, Rob Nye is somewhere thousands of miles between St. Louis Missouri and... St. Louis Missouri. In this year's Iron Butt Rally, rather than stopping at multiple checkpoints all over the US, the riders departed and will return to one check point in the middle of the continent.
On Monday, Rob was the first IBR rider out of the gate and reports and internet rumors have him heading east to capture some bonuses before changing direction to be back in St. Louis on Friday to mark the halfway point of the ride. Obviously, Rob is not blogging while on the road, but the organizers of the Iron Butt Rally are assembling and posting daily reports chronicling the progress and pitfalls of the Iron Butt competitors at www.ironbuttrally.com/IBR/2007.cfm
While Rob is out riding, we encourage everyone to leave comments and words of support that he can read when he stops in St. Louis for a mandatory rest on Friday.
