Subject: RE: strangest thing you've seen on a ride/runHow many have been on RAGBRAI? The list is too long but you see pretty much anything on a RAGBRAI day. Neat things - Navy Team riders helping anyone that breaks down or may possibly be injured. My wife and I helped with two heat exhaustion people with the Navy Team help. They pull out their phone and tell the 911 operator longitude/latitude exact location and they look at me and ask me for local information. I run 1/4 mile down the road and read the blue 911 address on the closest house and other people on the route yelled it back to the crew on the phone. Not so neat things - Male thong day. We actually stopped and laughed for a while, so he was at least a mile ahead of us so we never had to see again. Leather flap covering (think old westerns and what the Indians wore) and it was small leather. Again not a great choice. Brooks sponsored guys riding Penny Farthings on RAGBRAI every day. Nice guys to talk to also. |
