    Default RAGBRAI 2010 Anyone?

    My husband, son and I plan to ride our bikes across Iowa (ragbrai.org) this summer....any other POGs thinking about making the trek? My hubbys brother is going to drive our coach as a support vehicle....if there are any other biking enthusiasts out there - lets chat!

    What are the dates this year? I'm sure there is a website but is it going East to West or the opposite?
    Brothers, friends and I did the ride many times, 10 years straight for me and then I moved to Florida. Of course in Florida we can ride all year so we don't need one big long week of riding to catch up with the warm weather riders...

    It would be a long shot for me to go this year. Do they have such a huge crowd that entering by lottery is still used?

    I would love to give this a try. Do you think JDUB would do a tandem w/ me?

    Let us know the dates, and have they outlined the route yet? I understand they try to keep it secret as long as possible.

    It starts a little late this year, July 25th and goes west to east from Sioux City to Dubuque.
    The route was just published and is supposed to be one of the flatest ever....which is good for me because I am pretty new at this.
    You can check it out on ragbrai.com
    There is still a lottery - my son is on a team so we are pretty much assured of getting in.....
    We lived in south Florida for years....what part of FL are you in? You are right about bike trails down there - although the West Orange Trail was pretty cold a lot of this winter....

    I can't believe nobody has chimed in on this one but maybe they're all holding back since it's JDUB's birthday today.

    JDUB means Jack Dub Up Bigtime! Mango and Jdub on a tandem bike, now there is a picture... Didn't know they made tandem bikes with air bags and outriggers.

    I came by your Alexandria location last night but it appears you were posting messages on POG at the same time. Sorry I missed you but the service was excellent and the crabcakes and mashers and the gumbo were outstanding.
