<p>Curious if anyone has an extra seat in their vehicle from Chicago to Orange City for the start of ragbrai. I have a team of friends and family members coming from all over the country but none passing through Chicago on their way. Happy to pay for gas, food, beer, what have you, if someone out there is able to provide space for me and my bike across to the west side of Iowa!</p>

<p>I am leading a group of 13 riders from our club this year, all of varying abilities. I am trying to get a sense of which days riders would perceive as harder or easier for this year's ride. (I'm a Coloradoan, so getting 4,000 feet of climbing on a ride just comes with the territory!)</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>RAGBRAI registration just opened. It's time to sign up for a spot on the Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, since they usually sell out. (See <a href="http://www.ragbrai.org">www.ragbrai.org</a> for all the details.) Although the actual route (which changes every year) won't be announced until January 25, a good time will be had by all on this wonderful but challenging carnival on wheels.…</p>

<p>What are your favorite RAGBRAI stories? Here's one of mine: RAGBRAI has passed through more than 780 Iowa communities. On the 40th anniversary of the ride in 2012, RAGBRAI finally got around to passing through Lohrville (population 368) for the first time. For its theme, the town chose: "Welcome to Lohrville, the Ride's 40-Year-Old Virgin," (a very apt theme, BTW, because "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" is a great bike movie)!</p>

<p>Anyone going to RAGBRAI with space for another person? I would contribute to gas and a meal or two. PM me if you can or have any friends who can help. Thanks!</p>

A few of us that did the Hilly Hundred this year committed to ride<br />
RAGBRAI in 2010.<br />
<br />
It's early...but certain things can be discussed this early out and we can see<br />
who all from here is interested.<br />
<br />
I am willing to host a session at my place (Humboldt Park); and a co-worker<br />
Mark who has done RAGBRAI over 20 times has agreed to stop by as well<br />
and give some tips and advice if we need it.<br />
<br />
For those that may be interested but are unaware - there are several ways<br />
to participate. You can register…

<br />
For those that may be interested but are unaware - there are several ways<br />
to participate. You can register and have the event transport your<br />
stuff (tent, clothes, etc.) from town to town; or you can totally do your<br />
own thing (rent a truck / van / RV, etc. and recruit drivers, cooks,<br />
masseuses (just kidding on that one) and be self sufficient.<br />
<br />
Registering as a team is also an option (and has benefits).<br />
<br />
We can have an initial meeting just to get started and see how<br />
many from here may want to coordinate and do it as a small group.<br />
<br />
QUESTION : Is a weeknight OK to meet ???<br />
(I know several folks here travel all week for work).<br />
<br />
Reply back to this thread and next week I will set up a date and time<br />
that hopefully works for all.<br />
<br />
thanks<br />

My supposed ride is being sketchy and I don't want to take my chances depending on this person.<br />
<br />
Is there anyone from Chicago (or better yet, the NW burbs) who has room in their vehicle for another human+bike?<br />
<br />
Please please please please please say yes. I won't have a bunch of crap to store during the week because I'm riding self-contained. I just need a way to the start and back home from the end.<br />
<br />
danke! :)
