Does anyone ride Ragbrai?
Hey all,
I've done Ragbrai seven times so far..5 times in the 80s, in 05 and in 11. I want to go this coming year. Are there any retro clubs going?
Just wondering.

I've never done it, but here in Indiana we have Rain. 164 mile one day ride across Indiana. I've done it several times on my steel classic bikes. Nice that it's basically flat.
