RAGBRAI is sponsored by the Des Moines Register newspaper and stands for the “Register’s Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa. It is a 7 day bike tour (not a race) and attracts 10,000 riders. Many riders complete the full 7 days, but riders also have the option of getting day passes and doing just part of the ride. Many of the riders are just “Joe citizen” riders of all ages from young to old and ride ordinary bikes. But, there are also serious riders on very nice bikes that hammer across Iowa in pace lines. You see about every kind of bike from the Banana Man bike to a tandem bike of 6. For the full story on this year's RAGBRAI, click here

Lake Tahoe (in my opinion) is one of the prettiest places in America. Here is Dave Greymont's review of his recent ride around Lake Tahoe as part of a fund raiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS).  

Paul Scanlon did his usual ride for the Red Cross, riding his bicycle from St. Paul to Duluth (162 miles) on May 22nd as his personal challenge. Click here for a travelogue describing the trip in all its gory detail.
