According to their website...just try to get 1000 miles under your belt before the event and you will do fine. I am not fast either, by any means, I just want to have fun, meet some TE'ers and, eat my way across Iowa!!!!!

Sounds like fun - and with cycling a metric or so a day we can certainly eat our way across Iowa

I would definitely be up for this, as long as I could use the tent setup/breakdown service. (When I did a tour in Nebraska a few years ago, I was the last one out of camp because I wore earplugs and didn't wake up. Tearing down camp was a pain.)
I did two days of RAGBRAI in 2005, and had a great time. Of course I got to sleep in a bed at my friend's house, so that helped. It was amazingly hilly, but I was borrowing a hybrid with low gears, so I was spinning up hills past guys on their road bikes with doubles.
So all that is to say I'll be watching for the November thread.2007 Rivendell Glorius/Trico gel with cutout (not made any more apparently)

I got to ride the Tuesday ride this year - it was the most fun I've ever had on a bike! Would love to see some TE gals next year. Woo hoo!
