[Macomb-Cycling] 2 RAGBRAI Tickets on Mature Team

[Loren Easter]

Greetings,
Loren Easter of Macomb here.
My wife Maggie and I have ridden RAGBRAI with the Sigourney Weavers Team
of Sigourney, Iowa for the last 4 years.  They have thier own bus and
usually, all but the first night, have a private home and showers in the
overnight town to stay at.  They camp in the yard and once in a while
get to sleep in the A/C on floor space.  
 
The team is desperately trying to fill the last two spots on their team
of 14-15 riders.  The registration/bus/team-fee amounts to about
$250/ticket and covers the whole week.  Food is on your own but the team
often jumps on the bus or walks into town for a feasting as a group.
 
The team will gather in Sigourney on Friday, 20 July.  Overnight at the
team captain's house.  Then get up Saturday morning for the final
pack/load and drive to the start.  Starting the ride Sunday morning, 22
July, the bus leapfrogs to the overnight towns carrying the teams gear
and is always waiting for you, often unloaded, at the next overnight
accomodation.
 
As you can see from the picture the team is about half older crowd and
half younger crowd and everyone is always well behaved and respectful.
There is room for and a cooler for food and a beer or two in the grand
scheme of packing the bus. Bikes are securely mounted in the bus and
gear is in rubbermaid tubs inside as well.  Sagging out on the bus is
discouraged but is OK if it can't be avioded.  It is a ride at your own
pace team and you don't have to wear any silly costumes.
 
I wish we were going and could take the two tickets off their hands but
it didn't work out for us this year.  This is a great group of people
and of course RAGBRAI is always an adventure in and of itself.  Lance
Armstrong will be riding the full week across Iowa this year (he road
1.5 days last year and got hooked) so 2007 will be that much more
interesting.
 
If you are interested, a veteran or first timer whos been wanting to try
RAGBRAI, this is a great opportunity.  Reply to me and I will get you as
much info as you need.  I will be out canoeing 5-7 July and won't get to
check email.  That'll give you all time to think about it.   If you know
any responsible individuals or couples that don't get this email and
might be interested pass it along.  I am comfortable submitting this out
to the Macomb Cyclists because they have been a great group to know and
the Sigourney Weavers will be better for the company.  
 
Thanks
Loren and Maggie
