I visited rural west central Iowa over Christmas. It was amazing to me how interested farmers are in RAGBRAI. Pretty cool, actually.

What else is there to do in Iowa in mid July? I lived 12 years in Iowa and exciting its not. RAGBRAI and the State Fair is all an Iowegian has got.

It’s still funny to hear corn/hog farmers, who probably haven’t ridden a bike since childhood and likely don’t own a pair of shorts, talking about a bike ride.
