Background:
Note: On this page, the terms "State" & "In-State" refer to any
USA state, any Canada province, and any city or territory in either
country.
In-State rides are motorcycle rides that are TOTALLY within the borders
of a single state. You may take any route you like -- but remember
you may not leave the state except for safety reasons. If you leave the
state you must re-enter the state at the same point you left it.
Any of the traditional rides (SaddleSore 1000,
Bun Burner 1500, Bun Burner Gold) can be "in-state" rides, but you must
closely follow the requirements of those specific rides.
There are many more challenging in-state rides that require you to
travel through specific cities. These may be named "Ride Around" or "Lap of"
rides (e.g. Ride Around Virginia; Lap of Florida). Remember you may not leave the state
except for safety reasons -- and if you do leave the state, you must re-enter it at the same point you left it.
Those additional rides are listed separately in the
Ride List.
There are also challenging rides within a single city's limits.
These rides are individualized for each city.
You may choose any route you wish, but prior approval by the IBA is required for an In-City ride.
All In-State certified rides also qualify for IBA Mile Eater Awards Program.

Definitions
DBR - Dated Business Receipt
A DBR is a machine generated receipt with the date, time, and LOCATION
on it. Check it -- do not assume it is correct. A receipt
with an incorrect time/date/location is worthless. Check and
re-check.
Fees: Verification fee for an
in-state ride: same as for the equivalent traditional ride.
Verification fee for a Ride Around or Lap of ride: See individual ride page
Rules
The ride must be completed in the time specified for the traditional
ride or as specified in the Ride List.
You may start at any location in the state. You may end at any location within
the state.
You may not leave the state -- except for safety
reasons, and if you leave you MUST re-enter at the same
point you left it.
You must obtain a DBR every 350 miles or less.
Your official time is determined by the starting
and ending receipts. PLEASE check these documents and make sure
the clock and date are correct!

is strongly recommended but not required.
Remember it is YOUR responsibility to prove you stayed within the
state. SpotWalla goes a long way towards this proof.
Rules for the In-State Awards Program:
The IBA In-State Awards Program recognizes several levels for completing multiple IBA certified In-State rides,
each of which occurs within a single state.
A ride that occurs in more than one state does not qualify for In-State Awards.
Go here for a complete list of In-State awards.
