Next year is my 50th high-school reunion and it would be great to ride RAGBRAI, which is somewhat near the state where I grew up. I've never ridden a tour with that many bicyclists, though, and am curious how you RAGBRAI riders deal with that.

Oh, and I'll be 40 next year. Cheaper than a sports car!

My friend in Iowa survived his 60-mile ride. He said that BF and I need to join him so we can help him if something goes wrong.
I've talked to BF about doing at some point--he said "And what gave you the impression that I wouldn't want you to come?" Oh, I don't know, the fact he didn't bother to ask? He's up for it--I just need to give him some notice so he has time to get in shape...At least I don't leave slime trails.

I am planning on it! A TE team would be fantastic - and there is nothing wrong with TE members bringing loved ones with them

It's settled then........I will try to get something organized for TE members for Ragbrai 2011. I plan to sign up early, and I hear teams get preference too. I'm so excited.
Anyone interested........ keep your eyes open for a thread about this in NovemberLast edited by Trek-chick; 08-03-2010 at 07:20 AM.

It's also on my calendar also. All the talk about trying to meet up--that would be perfect
I told DH that is what I wanted to do it for my 40th. I think he knows he's stuck--it's that or he has to go shopping!
I'm not sure about going camping in July, but after a long ride, I could sleep in the driveway (after a shower, of course)

Pardon my ignorance here, but what it would mean to be part of a team at RAGBRAI? Is it necessary that all team members be really good bicyclists? I'm experienced, for sure, but not to the level of you all. Thanks.

I'll be watching for the Nov thread too. This really appeals to me. Of course I'll be in the slow and steady group, for any other members who are looking for that group.
You too can help me fight cancer, and get a lovely cookbook for your very own! My team's cookbook is for sale Click here to order. Proceeds go to our team's fundraising for the Philly Livestrong Challenge!
