And theeeeeey're Off! RAGBRAI starts today!
Locker room mate Nick from Utah, green hair and fu manchoo and all, is off cycling across Iowa. Today's ride is 60 miles and starts on the Missouri River on the west side of the state. Looks like a fast (and hot) track for today's ride. I'll provide the locker room daily RAGBRAI updates with the hopes of catching a picture of Nick.
My brother, Big Boner, who's having WLS this Tuesday, has set his top physical goal to someday ride RAGBRAI. You can bet I'll be there with him. He's actually trying to buy an old school bus and paint it up as the official Tour de Fat "SAG Wagon." or support vehicle. A lot of RAGBRAI teams do this, here's a picture of a cool one from Team Butt Ice.
Glutius Maximus Frozenus (Team Butt Ice) This bus tends to render a quite comical characteristic not only noted within the Name of the Team but also amongst the play of yellow flames upon the red paint. Also it deems a value of juxtiposition that again referes to the name of a team. Flames of the paint contrasting to the name "Butt Ice"
It's so cool that "da Tour de Fat does RAGBRAI." Couldn't be prouder if I was riding it myself. GO NICK!!

Here's another cool team bus for this year's ride along with the write-up from RAGBRAI team pages.

Maximus Longitude (Team BIG) The bus pictured here has used the multiple stripe design, most recognized as the inexpensive "Fruit Stripe" Gum Company. The multiple diagonal stripes create a sense of fun and a carnival type effect while the oversized tarp covering brings this BIG bus it's identity not common with the other vehicles.
