The Des Moines Register newsroom has streamed it live the past two years. We will inform people if the newsroom chooses to stream it again in 2012. Thanks TJ
Streaming the RAGBRAI Route Announcement Party is an especially great idea for those of us who are out of state! This is my first RAGBRAI, so any information about this year’s activities would be most welcome, and lots of fun as well.
Thanks.
