The Iron Butt Association is not your typical "club". We are more a state of mind. We do not have monthly dues, a newsletter, or even a membership card. In fact, the closest thing we have to a membership card is our "World's Toughest Riders" license plate back. On that note, to become a part of the Iron Butt Association, you must complete at least a Bun Burner 1500 (1,500 miles in 36 hours) or the SaddleSore 1000 (1,000 miles in 24 hours). The rules for these rides can be found under the "Rides & Rules" section of this web site.

Completion of a Bun Burner or SaddleSore gets you a certificate of accomplishment, an IBA pin and IBA plate back as well as a listing on our web site as an Iron Butter at www.saddlesore.com/ssbbfin.htm

We do maintain an e-mail news list. We do mail whenever there is news - sometimes that is once a week, sometimes once every few months. To get on the news list, send an e-mail to: kneebone@ironbutt.com and a short note that you want to subscribe to the Iron Butt News
