Yesterday as my wife and me where dining out for a late afternoon lunch at a bar & grill inn Carroll , Iowa and all at once this old painted beat up school bus stops . It's full of bicyclists who are stopping to eat and drink there .
Well there were some of those RAGBRAI ladies with them and they all sat near to yours trully . As they order , the big deal was how few miles some of them have been riding as they discussed this out loud !
One excellant looking young lady who was in her mid twenty says " I've only ridden about 34 miles so far " ( note that RAGBRAI is about 7 days and around 500 miles total ) .
The rest add their low milage , never discussing the fact that every moment when their not eating , sleeping or working , they no doubt are on a trainer ( such as the one that I own and don't use ) and are more than ready !
I'm going to out smart 'em this year and ride the 3rd , 4th and maybe the 5th days , as those first two are all hills ( a record the second day on RAGBRAI , in " my " neck of the woods ) . 
So bring it on Ladies of RAGBRAI ,  as I will be ready , I hope !
I'll try to get photos !

They had a documentary on TV a bout this yesterday. Do you dip your tires in the river? It seems like it is a pretty big deal. I didnt see the whole thing but it sure looked like there were a BUNCH of people that do it.
