It's June 20th! Only one month to go before RAGBRAI XXXI!

For those of you that have ridden the event and attended all of the festivities before, is the opening bike show on Saturday the 19th worth attending? Obviously, LeMond will be there signing autographs for the sock company which would be fun. What types of things are on display at the bike show?

Another question I have for such an extended week long ride is avoiding saddle sores. I was thinking baby powder would be worth bringing along. Any other tricks or ointments to apply to prevent anything developing in the saddle area?
