NI1600 – IBA Ride Verification – Application Form.


If you completed the NI1600 at the actual event, and completed their on-the-day ride checking / scrutiny, you can access fast-tracked ride approval for a verified IBA SaddleSore 1600K ride certificate.

The IBA have bulk-pre-approved all finishers of the NZ NI1600 (2020) for SS1600K certification. They are providing this pre-approval based on the event organiser’s processes and checks, these applications should take a considerably shorter time than a normal first-time application (which is commonly ~3 months). We are aiming for these certificates to be processed in one batch, in about a week, and sent out to you then we have all of the packs worth of bits here in NZ already, so they’ll be a lot quicker this time than previous years.

The process has been streamlined for all NI1600 finishers, it should be simple and quick.

Your certificate is a customised certificate (it’s pretty rare for the IBA to do this) – it will carry the NI1600 route map on the face of it (our spot track), but your own personal details, including your bike etc. – Below is a sample of my certificate from this ride from 2018, this year’s map will be updated once the route is known for 2020:

If you already have a NZDR NI1600 SS1600K certificate from a previous year, then you might want to have a read of this…. – This year’s NI1600 fell within the IBA’s Memorial Ride window, and so the NI1600 ride which you’ve completed could be used towards a Memorial Certificate instead. You have to choose one, we can’t issue two certs for one ride. – If you want this option, then let me know in the email you send, and I’ll work through the extra details we’ll need from you.

How to print to PDF?  – If the PDF part gets too hard, then just copy and paste the transaction reference and full receipt details into the end of the email which you’re sending…
Personally (this is Chris writing), I think this is pretty awesome, I know a number of us are really proud of our IBA memberships and love showing off the plate backers, it’s a real conversation starter. 🙂
