What happens when you get a few people together with grub and booze on a sunday afternoon? Duh? Fun nutbagz!! Anyway the crew got together for some sunday grill action and had fun. Of course I hang out with people that don't ride! I know to much excitment. The day went well on into the night and I guess, well you had to be there............hopefully the pics speak for themselves..
And this.
..Lance Armstrong, winner of the Tour de France the last seven consecutive years, is passing up Paris this summer to ride RAGBRAI.
"My Julys are free now," Armstrong said in a telephone interview this afternoon.
That's because this will be the first year since 1999 Armstrong hasn't been riding in, and winning, the most prestigious bicycle race in the world. He's heard about RAGBRAI for years and he says he'll be here.
Armstrong said he hopes to be on the ride for "several days."
RAGBRAI, the oldest and largest event of its kind in the world, begins in Sergeant Bluff on July 23 and ends July 29 in Muscatine. Along the way, there are overnight stops in Ida Grove, Audubon, Waukee, Newton, Marengo and Coralville.
He's not sure which portion of the week he'll ride. "This wouldn’t be a one-year commitment," he said. "We’d obviously want to be back next year if we behave ourselves."
The 34-year-old Armstrong, a cancer survivor, also plans to meet with Iowans and encourage them to question presidential candidates campaigning prior to the 2008 caucuses about cancer research funding.
