48 Plus! Iron Butt Association Ride May 16-25, 2012 East Coast Start: Kittery, Maine

Kittery, Maine On-Site Coordinator: Michael Hickman

On a ride of this magnitude we do not want to make riders feel rushed or pressured to perform at any other level than one with which they're comfortable. Additionally, we want to ensure we structure our rides in such a way as to allow as many riders as possible to participate. Starting on the 16th means your 10th and final day is May 25th - the day before Hyder Seek.

• We will start releasing riders at 5:30am in Howell's Auto Truck Stop & Convenience Store station parking lot. Riders will be released a couple a time. Our goal is to get all riders out by 6:30am and release the witnesses by that time. If you arrive at the staging area after 6:30am , you will not be counted as part of the ride.
      

• Have your witness form filled out and your odometer reading recorded. The witnesses should simply have to fill in the time, their personal information, and sign the form. 
    

• When you are ready to go, advise one of the witnesses. They will validate your odometer reading and license plate number; and add the time and their personal information to the witness form.
     

• Once your witness form is signed. Notify the on-site coordinator and he will direct you with regard to staging for release.
