I was just turned on to this vid which pretty much sums up everything you need to know about RAGBRAI. My favorite bit is that our hero is turning down a trip to Hawaii to do the ride.
It’ll be time for the RAGBRAI lottery results in ust a few days:
RAGBRAI is limited to 8,500 week-long riders and 1,500 daily riders. Entries can exceed the number of riders allowed, so a random computer lottery takes place after all of the entries are entered in the computer. Lottery results are available online on May 1, 2011.
I’m hoping that I get picked on the draw and don’t have to scurry around for a wristband though I am told by the Pork Belly folks that:
Should I wait to learn my fate in the lottery before registering with PBV? Definitely not. In the unlikely event that you are not selected in the lottery, we will introduce you to a wristband seller and help you follow the Register’s simple procedure for transferring wristbands. We aren’t allowed to promise, but in over twenty years, we have never not found a wristband seller for a patient Porker.
