I remember when RAGBRAI first started when I was in high school. I though those people were nuts. Now I've done it several time and they ARE nuts, but it's a good kind. I don't even drink and it's a great week. Just some of the team names and mottos make the week a blast. I think my 2 favorites are
Team Donner...We eat the slow ones
Team Turtle.....We start out slow...then ease up.
