Yes, I've done RAGBRAI before. Yes, it was fun.
But no, I'm not going it this year. Why?
1. I don't have time. I would have ideally ridden from home to Glenwood to Atlantic on the first day. And maybe even ridden back, too. But the rest of the week? Lots of writing projects in the work.
2. I don't have the money. We're tight right now, really tight. The pile of car seats and strollers next to me may be involved in that somehow. Babies, man. Babies.
3. Most times, I have a ton of patience with new or newer or less-skilled riders. Right now, I don't. I feel like I've spent a good portion of the summer trying to stay away from sketch-balls on Wednesday nights. No more swerving, please.
4. I really dislike Miller Lite, which is the official fluid of RAGBRAI.
5. I'm getting to be a cranky old man, which is reason enough to stay inside and away from the public.
Now please stop asking. I'm begging you, Omaha.

I heard you are a former stage winner, true?
True - I won the Storm Lake to Algona stage last year. I estimate that I dropped at least 8,000 people that day.
Nce!
