Any Cyclists want to go for a long ride?
« on: July 04, 2013, 04:15:45 AM »
If anyone is interested in doing RAGBRAI next year I would be happy to help them find a group to ride with.

It's a 7 day ride across Iowa with 20,000 other cyclists.  Its more of a drinking event than anything but everyone is on a bike.  It runs from the Missouri River to the Mississippi River.



If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

I used to enter bike races and sprint from the rear to the front in dramatic fashion with zero intention of finishing the race.

I've never finished any bike race but, later on in life, I roamed the bike paths of the DC area racing all and got to the point that I was doing 65 miles every two days and sometimes 100 miles.

Because of this thread, I pulled out the schwin tempo and miele mountain bike out for freshening.

Only 20'000? I overtake more than that when I go to the shops round here. Yards of lycra wrapped around ignoramus's all trying to get compensation for being squashed, despite riding like idiots :old:
