Cycling (minus the ever-ongoing slate of doping scandals) is a pretty American event, especially when it takes place among the corn stalks of God's country. That would be Iowa for all of you non-Midwesterners. RAGBRAI 2008 is nearly over as it raps up tomorrow. However late this post may be in that regard, I found it necessary to share a couple tidbits of info:
Recent Grinnell College grads Sofia Skraba, Benj Wagman, Sean Miller, and Calvin Dane are working (and/or partying) at RAGBRAI this year. They have been all over the U.S. working for a traveling company that coordinates storing goods and setting up tents for fellow riders. Great American summer job.
Ted Schultz, Grinnell College's Sports Information Director, as well as a valid American, has been blogging from the road. Ted has just finished up his first year at Grinnell and has done a far superior job covering Pioneer athletics than his previous predecessors. Please click the link and read some of his material; he is pretty humorous while also maintaining the ability to relay valuable information regarding the race. Finish up strong Ted!
