Hey betagirl! I did RAGBRAI last year to celebrate turning 40 (hence the user name) and loved it! Doing it again this year, we ride/camp w/LBS. They've been hauling RAGBRAIr's across the state for years. Just wish I'd taken the plunge a long time ago - what a fun week!

Annie - have a fun and safe trip riding to the starting point! I'm thinking of coming up into your neck of the woods for TOMRV in June. Do you ride that one?

Happy pedaling!
