Background:

This is a special ride dedicated to a special woman in your life.

We honor the institution of “Motherhood”.

Where would we be without Mothers?

Mom, Mumsy, Mama, Mother dear - it doesn't matter what we call her - she's our special woman.  Whether she's our own mother, or the mother of our grandchild, or the mother of a friend - she's special.

We will issue a unique certificate for this ride.  Two certificates will be issued - give one to your special woman.

We will include a personalized dedication to each certificate.  Just include your message - 15 words or less - when you submit your ride application.

Read the rules for the iconic SaddleSore 1000 on the Ironbutt Association site.  The rules for this ride are similar and you will get valuable background information.
