Since I'm a teacher, I thought I'd check out the story--imagine my surprise to see the author is from my family's hometown--'swego! My son will be riding RAGBRAI and I'll be checking out the lessons with him--and passing them on to his teaching staff. Keep up the good work and have fun on the ride this year! Hey, a fellow Laker! Since I’m a teacher, I thought I’d check out the story–imagine my surprise to see the author is from my family’s hometown–’swego! My son will be riding RAGBRAI and I’ll be checking out the lessons with him–and passing them on to his teaching staff. Keep up the good work and have fun on the ride this year!

If you want to chat find the "Pottawattamie Pedalers" at the camp grounds. We have a large white moving truck with 2 huge "P's" on it....one bright green and one bright pink! I'd love to chat....my wife is a teacher as well. Ride sfaely and have fun! John Thank Teresa (and all of you) for the nice comments.

I actually live and teach in Red Oak, Ia. which is the first over night stop in Ragbrai 09. I want to share this with all of our teachers k-12. We could all incorporate Ragbrai into our lessons somehow. Ragbrai is something these "home-town kids" won't forget! We need to make the most of it long after it's over. Thanks for so many ideas!

This fall will be my first year teaching (I'm also a math teacher) and this July will be my first RAGBRAI! Your website has some great ideas on it. Thanks for sharing all of your hard work! John,

It's great to see teachers incorporate their real life experiences into the classroom to make learning fun. I'm a little league baseball and basketball coach for my son (11) and daughter (9). I try to bring it down to their level so they understand and most of all have fun with it. As you know, if they are having fun, they are learning. I'm from Long Island and looking for transportation to and from the event. It's great that your family is doing it this year. This will be my first trip out to RAGBRAi. If you know of anyone downstate or in the metro area. Please send them my way. Thank you and good luck. -Mark uetoo@mac.com John – Nice piece.

Keep up the good work. I haven't been back to RAGBRAI for a few years but my thoughts are always about IOWA the last full week of July. Where were you when I was fighting with math?
