RAGBRAI 2010

Becky is off riding cross Iowa for RAGBRAI again this year.  While I don’t understand it, I respect the effort she puts into it.  She has ridden nearly 1000 miles in preparation.  The ride this year is about 450 miles.  There is one day that is a Century Day where they add a loop to make the total day 100 miles.  That would add extra miles to the 450.  She never decides about doing the Century Loop until she sees how she feels that day and what the weather conditions are.  She has ridden it about half the time.  (This is her eighth time at RAGBRAI.)

10,000 people are selected by lottery to ride the whole route from west to east across the state.  5,000 additional riders register as day riders for any given day.  They estimate an additional 5,000 unregistered riders also participate each day.

Cold showers, Fair food and camping each night…  not my thing.

Becky emails me updates on the ride which I send out to those that are interested.  If you’re not already on the list and want to be, let me know.
