Thanks President Geoffroy!

Gregory Geoffroy, Iowa State University's President, announced plans to step down after a decade of service to the institution. The RAGBRAI visit to Ames and Iowa State University in 2008 was one of the most memorable stops in RAGBRAI history. We thank President Geoffroy for the total support to make it so successful.

RAGBRAI Training: Time for Base Training

In cycling jargon, this is the time of year for base training. For cyclists who follow a regimented training plan, they divide their training year into various phases, or periods. Typically after the winter, where riding is decreased considerably, we need to rebuild some of our fitness going into the summer again.
