Grim Riders MCC and IBA Ireland announce the first

Wolfhound Rally

The Wolfhound Rally is a 75 hour event to be held on Thursday 21st -Sunday 24th July 2011. The rally will start at 8am on the 21st at a central location (think North of Birmingham/south of Newcastle) and will finish three days later at 11am in Dublin Ireland.

This rally is a joint venture between Grim Riders MCC and Iron Butt Association Ireland. The Rally Masters for the event will be Robert Roalfe & Chris McGaffin.

This rally will be VERY different from the usual IBA Rally. Riders will receive all bonus information at least 1 month before the start. You will have plenty of time to plan your route and book a ferry. The rally will consist of 3 legs. Each leg will have gold, silver and bronze options. Riders must achieve AT LEAST a bronze award in each leg in order to be classified as a finisher.

Leg 1

Riders will be required to ride one of 3 routes. Simply ride, visit the compulsory locations and return. Expect to ride many miles. Expect to ride many more for Gold. Riders will receive a rally flag on return to Rally base and may depart immediately for leg 2 and 3.

Legs 2 & 3

Riders begin to visit their chosen locations. They will be riding either Gold, Silver or Bronze routes.

Special "Wolfhound" locations will also be available. These Wolfhound bonuses help increase a riders score. Leg 2 locations are in the UK. Leg 3 locations are in Ireland. Riders may move to leg 3 at any time of their choosing and by any ferry. Because you have been able to pre-plan the route, you will have been able to pre-book the crossing. The only deadline to be met is riders MUST be at the Ireland finish location (close to a port) by 11am Sunday 24th July.

Competitors MUST have completed either an IBA certificate ride, an IBA Rally , or a Grim Rider Challenge Ride to be eligible for entry. This event is strictly limited to 30 riders. There is NO draw for entry. We are accepting entries on a first come first in basis. The entry fee for this event is £30.

We believe you would rather spend cash on petrol than entry fees. Any monies remaining after expenses will be donated to charity.

Applications for entry will be accepted from 9pm Saturday 26th June via email to events@ibaireland.org
