Wow, Rusty... That's quite the event (so I'm told by a friend and his wife who

Any list members riding RAGBRAI this year? They (RAGBRAI) have called my
bluff, and informed me that I have gotten in via the lottery. Now, I'm
hoping that my knees can keep me, and my Sam Hillborne, rolling! So far,

Bob,
I rode the GAP/CO last summer. It was a wonderful trip. I am also happy to
share any info or answer any questions. I think 7 days sounds like a fine pace.
I live in the DC area and will be around when you arrive. I would be happy to
meet up before you drive to Pittsburg. I will be away
I have never done RAGBRAI, but when I have done large tours in the past, I
have always gotten up at 4:30-5:00am so I could get a prime camping spot

Good to hear that you found a team. That's definitely the better way to do
it. The team will take care of you.
I'd like to join a team, but all the ones I meet are drinking clubs with a
riding problem.
I'm sure we'll see each other on the ride. Although there are lots of

Have a great time! I've done it twice and actually hooked up with some list
members the last time (2013). I hope to do it again next year but this year

Hi Bob,
You will enjoy the GAP/CO. My friends and I occasionally provide bike
escort to tour groups (arranged through Bike-the-Gap). Mostly, for the
transitional ride out of Pittsburgh, but sometimes full length or to
Cumberland where we, the guides, turn around and ride back.
Let
I've said it before, and will publicly say it again: This is list is the
best collection of people on the internet that I know of!

Wow! Thanks so much Dale.
Unfortunately we won't be in Pittsburgh long at all (though there may be
time for coffee or something). I'll be arriving in Pittsburgh sometime on
Saturday July 11th after driving up from DC with my riding buddy. We'll be
leaving for the ride the next morning (he has
I'm riding the last 3 days with my girlfriend and her father. I'll be on
my 650b Riv Road, my girlfriend on her Soma San Marcos, and her father on
his 80s Raleigh that I rebuilt for him, Riv-style. We did the full week
last year but are doing our own thing this year.
We live near Hiawatha
