On Wednesday, July 28, 2010, RAGBRAI will honor the 75th Anniversary by naming Wednesday’s ride from Clear Lake to Charles City, Iowa State Patrol Day on RAGBRAI.
Join us at 6:30 pm in Charles City’s Central Park (300 block of North Main) for a special ceremony honoring the Iowa State Patrol. The 30 minute ceremony will include the color guard, singing, presentations and anniversary cake for the first 400 guests.
The Iowa State Patrol has been involved with RAGBRAI from the beginning and has played in integral role in helping make the route as safe as possible. Colonel Patrick Hoye stated, “I would like to think the Iowa State Patrol and RAGBRAI both showcase what’s great about Iowa.” Dozens of troopers are actively involved each summer during the ride, helping riders and motorists safely travel Iowa’s roadways. Several active and retired troopers are avid cyclist and ride RAGBRAI each summer.
Let’s be sure to give the Iowa State Patrol a big thanks on RAGBRAI XXXVIII and help honor them on Iowa State Patrol Day on RAGBRAI!
