Tour du France? Bah, what a waste.
All those guys peddling for days, getting all sweaty and surrounded by so many gawkers, press and officials, they don't see a damn thing.
Now RAGBRAI is what you need, boys and girls.
Quote:
RAGBRAIŽ, The Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across IowaŽ, is an annual seven-day bicycle ride across the state.
Heading into its 38th year, RAGBRAI is the oldest, largest and longest bicycle touring event in the world.

The route varies, but this year those guys could have seen where 8000 POWs were housed, the Surf, where Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Richie Valens played their last concert, and Rembrandts and Picassos at the Charles City Library, and the recreated bow of the USS Juneau which sank with the Sullivan Brothers.
Honestly, doesn't that beat gawkers/press/officials, hands down?
