European Tour 2014
Iron Butt rallies are unique opportunities for riders to pit their wits against each other by juggling the time / distance equation to achieve the maximum possible points from ‘bonus locations’ provided by the Rallymaster.
The European Tour 2014 was designed by IBA Ireland and IBA Germany to appeal to novice rally riders and those with multi-day rally experience. You can ride as many or as few miles as you wish. You may be happy to simply finish the event and gain Finisher status. Or you may wish to test your abilities and aim for a high place finish. It's up to you. No matter what your game plan is, you will have the opportunity to tour Europe like you've never toured Europe before.
The rally was held with rider check-in in Stuttgart, Germany on Saturday 6th September and finishing back in Stuttgart on Friday 12th September. Several UK riders took place in competition with riders from Belgium, Finland, Germany, Canada, Sweden, Poland, Australia and Switzerland. The winning route included Germany, Austria, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia and the final rankings are shown below.
Congratulations to all.
