IBA Mile Eater Program

Mile Eater

Anyone who completes more than one certified ride but NOT on the same ride, for example, your first ride is a SaddleSore 1000 and at a later date, you complete another certified ride, such as a Bun Burner 1500. However, completing a SaddleSore 1000 AND Bun Burner 1500 on the same continuous ride is not eligible for Mile Eater status.

Mile Eater Certification

TWO or more certified rides makes members eligible to acquire Mile Eater items such as stickers, shirts and pins - no certification is needed to order those items, the store manager checks your status before shipping Mile Eater items.

For those interested in a summary of their ride history in one document, optional Mile Eater certifications are available by completing the application at the end of this document sending in a list of your rides and paying a nominal fee.
