RAIN Anyone?

**Rhonda** · 07-01-2005, 08:24 AM

Not participating in the ride, as stated earlier, I am running SAG support. We plan on arriving Friday afternoon as well and taking in some of the Friday night entertainment, the bike expo in downtown and the Twilight Criterium race. Sounds like fun!

There's a bike expo downtown? ... I just rechecked the site. I totally didn't realize this was happening. I'm glad you mentioned it because I would've missed it.

Thanks,
Susan

I'm doing RAIN also, it's my first year. I've done RAGBRAI twice and am doing that again this year. I want to do STP (seattle to portland) next year if I survive RAIN. I did a 124 mile training ride a couple weekends ago, so I think I'm ready. We're arriving Friday, probably early evening. Going to watch the crits and have a nice carb-laden dinner!

I so admire all of you that are doing RAIN, to even attempt is awesome! I hope one day to attempt it, until then I will enjoy watching the ride and providing sag support. I will be in a 2000 Ford Explorer, lic # FAX237, if you see me please stop and say HI, or if you need anything I would be more than happy to help out. I wish all of you a happy and safe ride Saturday and may the wind be at your back!

Rhonda - DH's are providing sag support for us. They will be in my friend's vehicle (white Pontiac Aztek). I'll post the license when she arrives at my house Thursday night. We will arrive sometime Friday midday. I hope to check out the expo. Thanks for the well wishes.

betagirl - I think a 124 mile training ride is awesome. You should be well prepared.

We will also offer support to anyone and especially anyone from TE!

Well I survived! It took us 10 hours 40 minutes ride time which was an average pace of 14.8 mph. I was quite surprised. We were very fortunate...not a drop of rain on us. The storms were either ahead or behind so we were always between the rain. I hope other RAIN riders did as well!
