IBX postponed due to rain

We have some sad news to pass along. Due to the amount of water on the lakebed and the fact that it is currently raining in the Ivanpah Valley with more expected tomorrow, we are postponing the event to later in the spring TBD. The new date this spring will be an informal gathering of friends.

All registration money will be refunded back through PayPal. Some had requested rolling it over to 2021, but we will start registration with a clean slate and you can reregister for the 2021 event when we reset registration.

Currently the tent rental will be refunded to the event. We are negotiating with the Porta potty company but we expect to get most or all of that money back. All this means that IBX remains financially sound and we'll be better than ever for 2021.

Stay safe out there and we hope to ride with you soon.

Just saw some photos of Ivanpah taken yesterday, 3/29. Standing water in places and the East side is still closed. Even without the Pandemic IBX would have been goosed. What a year!

Well Ivanpah east side is still closed due to standing water in places. San Bernardino County in California has prohibited any gatherings or groups. So even in hindsight, we had no choice but to cancel this year. Good news is that things are already in the works for a big reunion in 2021.

Refunds for swag and registration for the 2020 event went out this morning.

Be safe out there!
