A group of riders are driving their motorcycles 11,000 miles in 11 days. The Iron Butt Rally is a biannual rally that started in 1991 by the Iron Butt Association. Staff Member Dennis Bitner says the group is dedicated to safe, long-distance, endurance motorcycle riding.
The rally started on Monday in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, it consists of three legs with the first checkpoint in Tulsa and will end on June 30th back in Pittsburgh. Bitner says the stop in Coffeyville is one of the bonus stops.
There are a total of 200 bonus destinations and riders can drive any route they chose. All participants are running spot-tracking devices to ensure no one is speeding or driving recklessly.
