I must admit I like the RAGBRAI idea. It would be a gas. If Maidei doesn't like beer now, she'll have a chance to develop a taste before her tour is over.

Just thinking out loud, here. DH & I have already ridden one RAGBRAI, and while it was the most sustained fun I've ever had, I've already done that, and there are millions of miles I haven't already ridden. OTOH, DH & I have talked about riding the Katy Trail for years but there always has been something preventing us. Maybe Maidei can get us there? (Ahem) Or, to put it more politely, maybe her trip would logically use the Katy? I'd certainly be willing to assist.

OR, I've yet to ride the Cowboy Trail (all along Northern Nebraska). Hey, she's got to get to the other coast somehow!

These are just ideas I'm throwing out there. I'm not emotionally attached to them, so feel free to shoot them down. (Target practice!) At the same time, I'd really really like to be a part of this.
