There's a guy in Arkansas who wants to get a ride across Arkansas going. He gave up because the "state police wouldn't sanction it".
I thought that was a ridiculous reason....that he could do it just like the guys who started RAGBRAI did--by just getting on their bikes and riding. Everyone could have their own sag--there wouldn't be many people that first time if he didn't advertise. It would make its own mass as time went on. Just like RAGBRAI.

I'm so suprised that the towns in Crawford county didn't speak out against this....or perhaps they did. As mentioned before, RAGBRAI is such a huge money maker for pass through and especially overnight towns, it would seem hard for any small Iowa town to let that possibility just go away without a fight.
My dying tiny hometown STILL talks about the year they had an overnight and that was 15 or so years ago.
I know I spend a small fortune on RAGBRAI. Beer and pie are essentials!
