I've met "Guitar Ted" several times. After my failed/abandoned Trans Iowa attempt in 2011, I showered up and went to volunteer at checkpoint 2 (mile 170-something), which was at a nondescript corner of a couple gravel farm roads with nothing in sight but corn fields, and yukked it up in the cool, damp Iowa April with Guitar Ted and some of his buddies until late into the night. Good times.
Incidentally, that was the day I became an "unracer". Once I realized I had no chance to even make the first checkpoint in time, I started exploring back roads on my own and taking pictures. It was much more fun to just ramble and explore than it was to be racing against the clock. I knew then that I am purely a bike tourist, with very little racing ability and almost zero racing inclination.
