The paperwork

In order for the Iron Butt Association to recognize the Two Wheels for Transition Ride as an official SaddleSore 1000 (1000 miles in 24 hours or less), documentation must be completed to verify the ride. Witnesses must verify your presence and odometer at the start and the end of the ride and a date/time stamped receipt becomes your official start time. During the ride, any stop over 30 minutes must be logged and you must produce a receipt for fuel at least every 350 miles. In order to ensure you have all the necessary information recorded, LD rider use the acronym TOP DOG:
T = time
O = odometer reading
P = place
D = date
O = other
G = gallons
If your receipt and log shows all this information, you're good to go. All this documentation, plus a map showing your route, is submitted to the IBA. Staffers then audit the log and receipts calling witnesses if necessary to verify you completed the ride as you've claimed. Only after this verification will the IBA issuse a certificate.
