  1. RAGBRAI is the Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa
    (ragbrai.orgragbrai.org), an annual seven-day bicycle ride across the
    state. RAGBRAI is the longest, largest and oldest touring bicycle ride in
    the world. Every year on RAGBRAI, there is a pair of brothers, now in their
    70s, riding full-dress 1-speed 1950s-era schwinns, riding the full course in
    long shirts and long pants. They had a sign which these days apparently is
    a Tshirt: Gears Are For Wimps.

    Dontcha hate people like that? :-)

    No. Envy is for the weak of mind.

    You might have some argument with BV as to whether the GVBR is more ancient.

    &IIRC, Iowa is mostly dead flat.

    Do you fetishise retro-grouches regularly?
