When I speak of fun events, I'm thinking of those that are more socially than competetively oriented. RAGBRAI comes to mind as do the respective state MS rides (which are the best?) Here's what I ask of you if you would kindly oblige. Tell me about an event you have participated in that was a good time and what made it great. Single day, multi-day, relaxing or gruel fest. Fun comes wrapped in many different packages. Or steer me toward a good list of events with some reviews or descriptions. Last year I made a point out of hitting a couple good motorcycle events across the country. I had a blast. This year I want to do at least 4 bike events. Help me figure out which ones offer the best time.
