Ragbrai 2016

Any fellow clydes or athenas making the trek to Iowa to do ragbrai this year? My usual team isn't riding this year, and my riding partner dropped out because she's pregnant and die in early August, so I'll be riding it solo. Hope to see some of you out there this year. I have a feeling it's going to be really hot this time around.

Yup! You can't miss me. Unless you start riding before noon and finish before dark, then you'll definitely miss me.

Remember the free water bottle fill ups are usually just after the vendors, and if you don't want to wait in line for a Kybo try to relieve yourself in a corn field whenever possible.

I will have two friends from St Louis that are Rush fanatics with me on the ride. They know everything about everything on Rush. They will love your jersey.
