SABA Members Complete 2010
Edition of RAGBRAI
SABA member Wayne Nelms, Pat Turner, and Gary Wright recently completed The Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa®. RAGBRAI is an annual seven-day bicycle ride across the state.
"In its 38th year, RAGBRAI is the oldest, largest and longest bicycle touring event in the world
and is limited to 8,500 week-long riders and
1,500 day riders. Entries most often exceed the
number of riders allowed, so a random computer
lottery takes place after all of the entries are
entered in the computer.
We hope to have some additional details next
month about the journey. Here are a few images
of the festivities. For additional information,
