Saddle Sore 1000: 2nd attempt (part 2 of 2)

Agreed. The certificate isn't the reason we do it, but with all the documentation they make you do it's nice to have something tangible. I'll be sure to give you a shout out for the motivation when I do my ride this summer!

They sent the license plate frame, but the promised certificates detailing the brave deed never came.
It's one of those things where I could write them and complain, but...whot needs that? The license plate frame (backing) is what I really wanted anyway.

When I submitted the documentation for my last IBA ride in March I expected it to take several months but I had the packet back in less than two weeks.

the packet did come back in about as much time. It's just didn't have the certificates in it. The license plate frame was there...

Heck, Strat, I wouldn't view it as "complaining" so much as just sending off a letter to politely inform them of the missing bits, and enquire as to any info they may have regarding it.

You earned it all buddy

Besides the certificate and a copy was there a jacket pin and some stickers in the envelope? My last packet had an envelope with the certificates and an envelope with the license plate backer and pins. Maybe they just forgot the other envelope. I'd write them.

+1. I got my certificate (two copies actually), plate back, quite a few stickers, and a pin in my packet. All packed in envelopes within envelopes... Bet they accidentally left one out. Worth a quick email I'd bet.

Congrats on a hard won achievement!

Uhhhm.... did I miss something? Picture of what?

edit: OK...got it... I had said I'd post pictures of the IBA stuff when it arrived!
Well, there isn't much to show since the certificates never came. I do have the plate backing, and I show that proudly... looks like this.

Anything that "lights your candle" as they say! I usually ride with ear plugs in to protect what's left of my hearing.... but that means riding in near silence .... and when you do that at night, on a straight interstate, on mile 850 of 1000, you're asking for that hypnotic, sleepy time, effect. Anything that helps you avoid that is a good thing.
