A Non-Report from Non-RAGBRAI


This week, it's RAGBRAI -- commonly known as the superdrunk ride across Iowa with a memorable acronym. Course, that reflects the part of the peloton we'd be riding in, if we'd made the ride this year.

In other words, when we're looking for reports and vicarious dereliction from this wretched event, we look to Evil Cycling. And judging from a somewhat cryptic posting on their message board, they aren't real pleased that Lance Armstrong and John Edwards are on the ride this year.

RAGBRAI...dying the same fate as "pro" sports.



Probably a good thing, then, that the Evil crew pooped out on the ride this year-- apparently because the clubhouse/bus/step van has been decommissioned. Or they've been attacked by Gordon Lightfoot. Or something.

All we can say is that you have to corrupt the people one at a time. If you want RAGBRAI to be all that it can't be, you can't withdraw into your dark world. Y'know, evil doesn't just make itself happen.
