What to pack for RAGBRAI?
The KCStar's Lauren Chapin (who famously wrote about the pies in the 2004 RAGBRAI) now has come up with a packing list for the 2005 RAGBRAI:
In accompanying article, Chapin writes about her experience riding RAGBRAI:
RAGBRAI is about the ride, but it's also about the camping — seven days of it in state parks, school yards, back yards, whatever grassy knolls are available. Take whatever creature comforts, within reason, you'll need for a week on the road.The 2005 RAGBRAI is July 24-30.
Remember to put your name on everything, just as you did in grade school.
In accompanying article, Chapin writes about her experience riding RAGBRAI:
Rolling through the gentle terrain of central Iowa, I eyeball Cobalt Hill. An aberration on the prairie, it looms big and steep, and I wonder whether I have met my Goliath.
All around me, fellow cyclists begin a chorus of groans, grunts, whoops and hollers as they begin their ascent up the two-lane blacktop. The whoops and hollers end, replaced by the sounds of granny gears being engaged, of lungs sucking in gulps of heavy, late July air. The higher we climb, the more the highway shoulder becomes crowded with riders who've abandoned the mission and are walking.
