What’s the furthest you’ve ever ridden in a single day on a motorcycle? There are so many different reasons that riders love doing what they do—and the only way to have a wrong answer is if the amount of riding you’re doing isn’t making you happy. That said, if you love to challenge yourself by riding long distances, then chances are excellent that you’ve already familiarized yourself with the Iron Butt Association’s variety of mileage-based challenges.
For those unfamiliar, the IBA exists as a community of long-distance riders who offer each other advice and encouragement—as well as maintaining and certifying the applications of riders who meet a given challenge’s criteria. It’s based in the U.S., but has members around the world—as well as chapters located in other geographic regions, such as Iron Butt U.K.
